One word - merveilleux

Lately I've found myself caught up in other ventures of my green beauty journey and I've been neglecting my sweet blog, but I am back today to share with you all an updated review on some new products I purchased from MOSS Skincare. Needless to say, I have been just as blown away as I was with my initial introduction to this brand through MOSS's sample kit! If you missed my first review you can find it here.

So as you may have read in my first post, I sampled and fell in love with the salvation balm and beurre celeste, which is an oil cleanser/mask combo. So much so that I ordered full size products of each of those beauties. I also purchased a few new products without sampling them, and I will share these below! {I'm overwhelmed with excitement}

Quick overview of MOSS: this line provides unique
skincare products, many of which are specifically geared toward
acne sufferers depending on your individual skin type. This
line is divided into 5 subgroups -

1. oily, unbalanced skin, blemishes
2. very sensitive skin, rosacea, eczema, inflammation 
3. hormonal, cystic, &/or adult acne {my main current issues} 
4. blackheads, congested, dull/rough skin 
5. acne scars, dry, damaged, &/or aging skin

  • 1. Zen Physic spot treatment {$60} - an absolutely incredible, and truly impeccable, in terms of performance, acne spot treatment. If you have very sensitive skin, Celestyna {MOSS skincare's ingenious creator} has a new product called zen doux that is a more gentle treatment. The zen physic is extremely potent, and the smallest, I'm talking half of a drop, goes a very long way. This product calms current breakouts and halts forming breakouts in their track. I'm sure you ladies all know the type of breakouts that come with hormones - those huge, raised, painful bumps that I think of as a cluster of small mountains forming on my chin, yeah THOSE. Well, this beautiful product, stops those horrid things in their tracks and quickly reduces them to nothing over the matter of a few days. It's truly an amazing product. I cannot say enough about it. On current breakouts, it acts like an extinguisher, quickly putting out the fire before it worsens and calming inflammation overnight. If you have an issue with breakouts or acne, give this powerful product a try! It's a beautiful dark green color with a hint of blue {happens to be my favorite color combo}, and it has a strong, powerful scent that is quite earthy with hints of pine maybe? The strength of the scent just reminds me how strong this spot treatment is in terms of performance.

  • 2. Healing Dew anti-inflammatory hydrating serum {$68} - this serum does exactly what its name portrays - it calms and hydrates. It drastically changes how you use any facial oil in that it transforms it from an oily, greasy feel to a dewy, moisturized feel. It's quite hard to explain, but if you've ever used a facial oil I'm sure you know what I'm talking about when I say it can leave your skin feeling a bit greasy afterward. This product takes that away completely and replaces it with a dewy glow that is absolutely incredible. This product is a gorgeous light pink color that to me symbolized its effective anti-inflammatory aspect. On top of the perfect coloring, it has a beautiful sweet, fruity fragrance with a touch of floral. I have enjoyed mixing a half pump to a pump of this with a few drops of the unveiling fluid in the evenings. They have shown to curate an extremely impressive array of results overnight each evening. I absolutely love them both individually, as well as together to create a sort of power duo that I apply after using my salvation balm {reviewed in my first post}.

  • 3. Unveiling Fluid nutritive cellular renewal oil intensif {$60} - this is quite the unique product in that it can be used as a moisturizer in itself or you can add a drop or so to your current facial oil to "intensify" your facial oils properties! It's meant to aid in the firming of skin, brightening of skin, in unclogging pores & decongesting skin, and even out skin texture & tone. This product has been one of my favorites among the line, and I have seen a dramatic difference overall in my skin since I began using it. I was planning to show before and after photos, but I recently had another breakout {finally pinpointed it to the RMS foundation... it was a sad day} so that interfered with the results I was seeing, and now I am trying to recover my skin again. Quick side note to all - avoid coconut oil if you have easily congested skin or are prone to breakouts of any sort. This product does absolute wonders! I notice a difference in texture and reduction of clogged pores overnight when I use this gorgeous orange/peach serum. It has a beautiful fruity, citrus smell similar to the healing dew but not nearly as sweet. It's scent is more of a lemon and orange mixture with a hint of a green tea scent, which is very refreshing! 

As you can clearly tell, MOSS did it again. I have yet to try a product from this brand that has not completely astounded me. The ingredients are spectacular, and these products are truly worth the investment. As always, I do recommend that you sample anything first because every individuals skin reacts differently. For example, I have sampled the clear resolution oil a few times and while I loved its feel, it was a little drying and my skin had a slight reaction to one of the ingredients {Celestyna mentions this possibility in the product description}, so that's the only thing I've tried that didn't work for me. Everything else, is literally GOLDEN. I cannot get enough, and they each have done marvelous things for my skin. I am very excited to see how effective these are with continuous use beyond a month! I will be back soon, but until then... 

Stay beautiful. 
xoxo, Holly

  3. Natural Skin and Organic Skin Care is when extracted elements found in nature are able to stimulate through cellular contact a natural renewal-regeneration response that results in an increased positive change in appearance and wellness.
    This concept began in 1985 when our founder discovered a process for rapidly extracting medicinal herbs, the most effective 48hr extraction process ever developed.
