I didn’t get this SB product because I have long been into crystals. Instead, I thought, “Let’s see; it’s $10.” What I found was and is surprising. The energy was instantly present when I took the crystals from their bag. The hair stood up on the back of my neck in a GOOD way; my pulse raced in several different moments that told me which stone was most powerful and useful in a certain moment. I have since used them for meditation (with and without yoga), water infusion/elixir making (as suggested), and stress relief breathing/meditation. I am becoming a crystal person and never thought that was possible! Another amazing SB innovation in my life.

I'm new to SB and I was too impatient to follow the advice to try one thing at a time, so I'm not sure exactly which skin improvements are due to the coconut serum, though my skin is very happy. One thing I am especially in love with is the smell of this serum -- it's a nice, fresh coconut smell. If something has a great scent (but not artificial), it really makes me feel pampered when I put it on. I am almost out of my trial size and savoring every last drop until I can afford to buy a full-size!

I’m having an identity crisis. For 40 years I have had oily skin. As a Florida gal, I had become accustomed to midday face washes, blotting cloths and an oily glow in pictures. There was a time, before Sabbatical Beauty, when extracting blackheads from my nose and chin was part of my nightly routine. No more! Thanks to Carol’s Sake and Rice Serum, my oily sheen is gone. I use Carol’s Serum daily in my morning routine after Asian Powerhouse and Coconut Serums. It goes on without stickiness and is absorbed very quickly, making it easy to layer other serums on top of it. Now, after only a month or two of use, I cannot fathom my skin without Carol’s Serum.

I've been using this serum for a few months now and its by far my favorite SB product. I have oily/acne prone skin and this serum reduced the amount of oil my skin produces and keeps it from breaking out. Its the only serum I never skip, and occasionally it's the only one I use if I'm in a rush. I also have a lot of acne scars that have started to fade after using this. Its such a useful serum and it smells AMAZINGGGG

The grease slick that was once my face...no more! This stuff rocks. My skin is matte after a full day of running around chasing chickens and dogs.

Carol's sake and rice serum with probiotic is just amazing! It gives my skin, glow, it tightened my pores and gave my skin a wonderful suppleness! I won't ever be without this serum.

I love the way this wash-off mask makes my skin feel- soft and clean and nourished. It is lightweight and I feel like my dark spots are lighter and my face is less oily. I also LOVE the scent. I have been using it every few days as my go-to mask. (Sorry about the work- picture- I’m multitasking under the harsh fluorescent lights!)

This mask has become my very favorite SB product. Like everyone else, I'm busy, and my time is often at a premium. I was excited about the products in Marissa's Chill Vibes Only collection but also skeptical. A mask in five minutes?

Yes.

I have very dry, sensitive skin, and this mask is like a kiss from the best beach you've ever been to, with the calmest, most healing vibe. Slather it on and delight in the cool, brine-touched scent, like a pristine ocean. The texture is plush and soft, and the gel spreads quickly onto skin. After a few minutes, the soft gel dries and when it is washed away, the mask leaves behind soft, hydrated, smooth as glass skin. In 5-10 minutes instead of 30!

One bonus I have discovered is that this mask, applied at the beginning of a hot flash, is cooling and soothing against my hot and sweaty face, neck, and chest. Rinsed away with cool water, this has really helped make my hot flashes less uncomfortable. This mask, for me, is the essence of Sabbatical Beauty...effective, enjoyable to use, and addictive!

This mask took a little while to grow on me. I have tried all the masks that SB sells, and I love the hydrating and the exfoliating masks the best. This one was different in the consistency of other masks in the SB Line (I am an SB-Lifer just so you know because the ingredients work and are active and there is no crap and the business is ethical). And, in all truth, I was asked to review this line as a brand ambassador and got free products, but was not paid for my reviews. As I said, this one grew on me. I was at first shocked at the consistency, but kind of grew to like it. A colleague noted that it helped cool her after a hot flash. I used it about 4 times and the last two I really noticed brightening and softening after I used it. It dries fast, which also freaked me out because I am used to leaving most SB masks on for 20-30 minutes. But you don't need to devote that much time to this mask; 5 minutes and you got a glow! It's Marine serum in a jar with a jelly-like, squish-y consistency. Try it. It's a winner by Marissa of SB.

Being vegan I'm used to navigating between obviously non-vegan, accidentally vegan (swedish fish, oreos, sweet chili lime doritos) and wholly vegan items and companies. When a skin care line that's not wholly vegan makes a vegan product *on purpose*, you have to try it. This cleanser is awesome. The scent is different, reminiscent of what a minty goat milk cleanser would smell like (to my nose at least.) The proof is in how it works with 100% vegan ingredients. This is a great gentle foaming cleanser. I'll keep buying it until the elves stop making it. Thank you!

The Rose and Honey Cream is absolutely one of my all time favourites. It is super healing, super calming and super hydrating.
The smell is absolutely divine very subtle, not over powering or artificial smelling whatsoever.
You only need to use the smallest amount as a moistuiser.
One of my favourite ways to use Rose and honey cream is in facial massage. It has just the right consistency and slip for this purpose.
I also love to mask in it using the Supercharge Your Moisture Set ♥️🌹♥️ I added healing powers of Rose quartz to this particular self care/ self love session and it felt like a huge loving hug.

I just used my set for the first time and I’m totally in love. It really prepped my skin for my serums to penetrate more. I could feel it with every step. Intensely clean feeling! Is it odd if I feel like I look younger after one use?! Looking forward to continuing my skincare journey with Sabbatical Beauty products.

I always worry about trying new things on my face because my skin is sensitive and I have cystic acne. I've mostly had the acne under control for years now. But I'm now battling aging! I've also seen new changes in my skin, like dryness. Anyway, I already use Marine Serum and wanted to try a cleansing balm to possibly take the place of my drying foamy face wash. Tadaaa! My face feels so happy and hydrated. I used this plus the Maple Essence and Marine.

I just started using this and already want to order the full size. It helps my skin absorb my moisturizers instead of them just sitting on top of my skin.

I started with a travel size, but liked it so much that I ended up buying the full size! Melasma starring to fade without the harsh chemicals that the doctor prescribed. I use it twice a day and can't go without it.

Its my 3rd order already!love this as my moisturizer day or night time..makes my skin so soft and feels clean too..not greasy just right!

This serum is honestly amazing. I dont use it on my whole face cause it does leave a weird residue for me but if you use it as a spot treatment for pimples, including cystic ones, it helps get rid of them SO fast. I swear I've had cystic ones disappear overnight!!!! My cystic ones sometimes stick around for weeks on end so this was seriously amazing. It blows my mind everytime it happens. I'm about to buy the full size bottle and that'll by my first full size from SB! This is definitely a must have for me out of everything.

I will confess I resisted trying the SB toners because I was relatively happy with the inexpensive rose water toner I’ve used for years, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
Whelp, after reading the ingredients list and other people’s reviews, I gave it a whirl and I am so happy I did. My skin wants to be mostly oily, but sometimes dry, and somehow I have to worry about fine lines, wrinkles AND pimples! This toner is a multi-tasking must have. It gently hydrates, and sets the stage for layering serums so they soak right in. My skin loves this stuff!

I have been using Snail serum on my surgical scars from ORIF ankle surgery in January (once the scars completely healed, of course), and it is amazing how fast and how well it diminishes the appearance of the scars! It lightens them and makes them less noticeable! I've been using it regularly since May, but even from one week to the next, I notice a difference. these are huge 8-inch scars, on either side of my leg, and even my surgeon remarked on how good they looked at my 6-month checkup last week! Yay Snail Serum! There's a reason it's my favorite product!

It’s has been couple of weeks and I start seeing improvements, so happy that I bought it.

I got me a little bottle of this when the cleanser sale was going on and it is quite nice. I am swapping out cleansers on a daily basis and this one is very refreshing. I is not real lather"y" but does clean nicely and leaves my face very soft and happy. The smell is delightful and makes me happy. I really do love all these cleansers so it's hard to tell which is my fav. This one is not real great near the eyes so keep that in mind.

In winter this is awesome under makeup and other things. In summer, I am finding it nice at night as a final cream before bed because my winter is coming is just too much. Try it - you'll LOVE it. Oh... and it will last you FOREVER - and if that doesn't make you calm... I don't know what will!

The texture is a bit sticky and seems thick but so far I am loving the glow and refinement this gives my skin. It absorbs a bit slowly but the results speak for themselves. I usually put it on in the morning and again before bed.

This is amazing stuff. It goes on all red and icky - you'll look like you've been out sacrificing animals - yuck! But, after letting it sit on your face for a while and rinsing it off, your skin will be so soft and clean and beautiful you will be ready to join the coven! This one is a winner for sure!

This is good for undereye circles and puffiness as well as being a great serum for a quick, minimal routine on the go. Recommended!

I’ve loved the serums in this set, but especially Marine! It’s made a huge difference for my normally sensitive, redness-prone skin. The set is a great way to try and fall in love with these products — and these sizes last a long time, too!

I was apprehensive at first to try oil as I can't forget about the teenage Oily T zone. At 65, unfortunately, still have some issues. But my nose pores have never been clean! And my skin is so soft!

I know that Magic Dragon is out of stock now -- that happens with magic, I guess. It's been a great nighttime serum for me. A little sticky, sure, but the benefits are visible in the morning. I've got a full size bottle to keep me going for a while and hope it comes back.

Love the DGBS, but this adds another special, sheer, soft-as-silk layer. Not sure if I'm Dorian Gray or Benjamin Button

If you're looking for something to add to your routine that's quick, efficient and effective, then this mask is for YOU! I was fortunate to be a tester on this item and used the travel size within 6 weeks because I loved how it made my face feel so clean! To be honest, I didn't use any other mask during this time period because it was so effective (and easy, ok I was being a little lazy with my routine too.)

This splash mask does EVERYTHING it promises to do, all in a few minutes in the shower. I am obsessed. My skin looks utterly flawless- I sent a goofy selfie to my bestie the other day, and she complimented me on my makeup. I wasn’t wearing any makeup!! 😍

Mermaid jelly mask transformed my aging combo face with one use! This jelly, giggly, squishy, mask that smells of a cool sea mist, goes on like a dream! Is ready to wash off in minutes and leaves my skin, softened, smoothed, glass like and plump! Why? Because it's chock full of great for your skin stuff! I highly recommend treating your skin to this magical mask.

I was able to receive this mist as a tester for the product, and I just love it so much. I found myself reaching for it, not just for the hydration, the glow, and the pore happiness, but also for the tantalizing scent - it is absolutely heavenly. If you tried SB’s lotus serum mist last year, and you liked the pore-licking and oil-balancing effects, but it was a tad on the heavy side for you, this is the perfect in between, it’s cucumber mist meets lotus mist with a jasmine scent and just.. oh man. It is so lovely. I would buy a gallon if I could. No joke.

I admit that I wasn't quite sure what to do with this massage balm when it arrived. If you are like me, and not too sure about facial massage, use the QR code on the label for a quick (but thorough) tutorial. My Chill Vibes set arrived at the end of a truly rocky, stressful, exasperating day...perfect for trying out a relaxing facial massage! The balm smells woodsy and herbal, clean and refreshing, and it's easy to apply and use, with a nice slip that helps keep your fingers gliding over your skin without pulling and tugging at it. After about 20 minutes of massage, my stress had lifted, my shoulders had relaxed, and my tight, furrowed brow and forehead were also relaxed, my tension headache melted away.

A little of this balm goes a long way, so don't get too generous with it at first, or you will need to wipe off a layer before bed, like I did. I massaged the extra balm into my eternally dry and scaly elbows before bed. In the morning, my dry and sensitive skin was plumped up with hydration, very soft, and glowing. My dry and itchy elbows were soft and hydrated, too! I think the results will be even more pronounced for me in the winter months, when dry, cold air and dry heated indoor air combine to turn my skin into a desert. Love this product!
