I received a sample of the Camellia Good Beauty Oil and am going to immediately order a full size. I have incredibly dry, dull, skin. This, applied before my moisturizer, left my skin glowing (but not shiny) all day. Four people commented that my skin looked really good. And it felt it too. Beautiful texture and fragrance, and a day-long gloominess. What could be better? I'm addicted.

I tend to use this most in the fall and winter. It's great overnight for hydrating the sensitive skin under and around my eyes. If you're worried that it will be oily and will just sit on top of your skin, don't be -- although some of it sits on top, most of it sinks in to nourish, and it's more moist than oily. Occasionally, I'll use it elsewhere on my face if I notice a particularly dry spot. And if I'm going to be out ion fierce weather, I'll us eat as part of my morning routine, matched up with Asian Powerhouse and Calm Cream. A little goes a long way.

The products are great and work as advertised

I love this Sake and Rice sleeping pack. It leaves my face soft and supple. Plus, I love the scent very light and clean not heavy. I started sharing my beauty secret with my husband at night. His face feels wonderful!!

I ordered because I love Sabbatical in general. I think this performs better than pictures suggest. The spicy tomato works well for my skin tone and has plenty of pigment that distributes evenly.

When it fades, I am left with moisturized, clean feeling lips.

As many others have noted, the initial texture is a bit sticky, but it absorbs and settles surprisingly quickly. I love the way it calms and protects my skin, and the scent is soothing. It's a versatile, everyday moisturizer!

I have slowly incorporated SB products into my care routine after becoming frustrated with the whole of the commercial skin care market - lots of promises, few results, lots of skin irritation and questions of “just what IS in this product”. With SB I can decipher just about all of the ingredients and easily do research on the components. The Goat Milk and Rice cleanser has become my favorite cleanser and it might be because of the smell alone - love the cinnamon notes! I have been using this cleanser for about 4 months and am pleased to note my skin is much happier and overall well balanced - no dry patches, fewer breakouts, hydrated plump skin. The product is milky and lathers well. It wipes away completely clean with no residue. My makeup wears beautifully over it. Also no increased sun irritation. I think my only feedback is that some scents could be rather strong for some consumers and would love to see some fragrance and nut oil free product options for sensitive folks.

Love the pumpkin spice latte. The scent and deliciousness on my skin makes me feel special.

I love the smell of the blue tansy. But if I don’t rub it in, I look a little blue or ashen. It takes a while to absorb, so it’s part of my nighttime routine when I’m not rushed and can really get it in all the nooks and crannies. Nice pillowy, bouncy face when all is said and done.

I was a little hesitant at first because it’s thick, yeasty smelling and brandy colored. But it doesn’t feel tacky or leave a tint on the face or lingering smell. It layers well under camel cream and makes my mug feel super soft and look super snatched.

I love this fatty cream so much! It absorbs fast and is the perfect finishing touch of my morning routine. Even on the hottest days, it never felt greasy on my face.

It’s very luxurious and butter soft. But I should have looked at the ingredients more closely. The fragrance is causing a reaction on my face and I had to discontinue use.

Travel size is really tiny. which allowed me to realize that when I buy the regular size I am using too much an entire dropper full. The product does work and it is expensive.

Calms my barrier down really quickly. Feels cooling without feeling minty. It applies super nicely, and it layers well with other products!

The snail serum is amazing! As with any new product I got the smaller size to ensure my very sensitive face doesn’t react. This has been great for me, and a little goes a long way. I use it daily and still have half of the bottle left. I love that it’s fragrance free, and not too heavy to layer with my other products. I hope it doesn’t get discontinued because I need to buy the bigger bottle.

I’ve been using the Donkey cream for a few weeks and this is now my go to nighttime moisturizer now. It’s thick and hydrating, and great for the upcoming winter season. I wake up with soft and hydrated skin. The cream has a whipped butter texture and it really locks in all the moisture when I sleep. I’ve noticed my completion looks less dull throughout the day with an overall more even complexion. Thank you Adeline!

In my late 60s, I don’t play around — moisture is critical, but it needs to really soak in. I adore Rose & Honey cream, but it doesn’t always layer well — until Mermaid Jelly! This jelly seems so light, but putting it on just sets the stage for every layer — it’s moisturizing magic! I can add cream, sunscreen, makeup and it all adheres without feeling sticky or pilling. The photo below shows the jelly sans makeup and then with light makeup application.

I'm obsessed with this. It's the perfect amount of moisture and it smells and feels so good. I went to buy more and it was sold out already. I can't find another item like this in the SB beauty line so I hope it returns soon.

Omg my skin feels plump and hydrated ALL DAY from this! Please don't stop making it. Love that it's fragrance-free now, too!

It just the little touch i need to make me feel like i put a little effort in that day. I love hanging it on my bag and just giving myself a little touch up here and there. It works well with my other products as well on a more "done-up" day!

I spent 10 days in curacao and I didn't know how strong their sun was. I also ordered this before I left so it arrived while I was out of the country. It was an impulse buy to be honest I'm weak for anything "mermaid" "marine" with great ingredients. Anyway, My face was still red and tender, healing as it got closer to go home. This was the first thing I used on my face when I got home. Within 2 days the redness went away and tenderness/swelling. I didn't mix this with anything else beings though my face and body had a first degree sunburn (less is better in this situation). I PRAY she doesn't discontinue this and make a body version. a lot people need this especially when travelling!! *fingers crossed*

After many uses of my daughter’s Sabbatical beauty products over the years, I finally made my first purchase of my own product. It did not disappoint and left my skin feeling deeply cleaned and nourished.

I started with the Donkey Cream as my very first product from the sabbatical beauty line, about 3 months ago. I finally found a product that didn't cause my skin to irritate and based on the reviews from others regarding sabbatical products I was convinced that the entire line would do wonders for my skin. I was wrong. I ,soon after, decided to purchase more products (Milk/rice cleanser, vacuum oil, calm cream, coffee scrub and toner) and my skin appeared to be flourishing, until recently. I noticed after washing my face with the cleanser, followed by the toner and donkey cream that my skin would ooze liquid from tiny bumps on my forehead. The condition gotten worse as time elapsed and those small bumps turned into a rash. I consulted with my derm and found out I have contact dermatitis. I reviewed all ingredients from every product I've used with sabbatical and noticed that 'fragrance' ( which by trade secret laws, can mean synthetic or natural but doesn't need to be fully disclosed natural and was listed as one of the ingredients in the facial cleanser. Very disappointed, especially after bein told that their products didn't contain any synthetic fragrances.

I love this gel moisturizer! Smooth and refreshing, it leaves my skin supple and glowing. It's perfect for daytime use - light but effective. And a little goes a long way. A really wonderful addition to my Sabbatical Beauty lineup of products.

Amazing cream for brightening, tightening and lifting your face! So moisturizing and luxurious. One of the best products from SB in my opinion. Might be very rich for combination skin, but if you have thirsty aging skin, this is a sure bet.
