Reviews

love it

"This is probably my favorite skincare item. I love how it makes my skin feel. I also love the lavender scent to it. It helps me relax when I apply it for bedtime."

— Lana (5/5)

Great for calming irritation

"This is my favorite go to for hydration!! It’s great for a thin base layer or moisturizer and it instantly helps calm any redness or irritation. The application is thin and it dries quickly leaving my face hydrated but not looking oily."

— Elizabeth M. (5/5)

Great for sensitive but not long-lasting

"I have very sensitive skin with redness, and this stuff is very soothing. Like the name, it is certainly more of a gel than a traditional moisturizer. It does make my skin feel less dry, but it does not last very long. I'm not one to constantly reapply each day, so this hasn't made it into my regular routine. I like it, but I likely won't buy it regularly."

— Molly O. (4/5)

Love calm water gel.

"I love the calm water gel. It soaks into my skin unlike some other brands and does not feel heavy. It is light, my skin feels hydrated and it also cools after I have been in the sun or the tanning bed. My husband even using it if he has been in the sun a little too much."

— sue l. (5/5)

This is my night routine

"This is my night routine go-to. I love the texture of the gel and that it’s light weight. My skin always feels refreshed after using. And my pores appear more minimized."

— Niesha J. (5/5)

Game changer

"I've been using calm water gel since my esthetician recommended it to me 5 years ago. I am 55 years old with rosacea but sometimes I have combination skin. I would highly recommend this to anyone! My skin has never looked or felt better even when I was 30!"
