Adeline recommended this toner for added moisture while I'm undergoing cancer treatment. One of the side effects has been dry, rashy skin. After just two uses, my skin is looking more like itself - softer, more supple, and much less rashy. Not sure how I have lived without this product until now, but I'm so happy to have it in my skin-saving arsenal, along with the kombucha cleanser and Chang E's serum.

This is among my first purchase from Sabbatical Beauty. This product is not as smooth to apply as compared to the other products that I had purchase. Not sure if its due to the hot weather in Singapore. Looking forward to see improvements to my skin after full usage.

These are my first purchase from Sabbatical Beauty. Both products are easy to apply and feel good on my skin. Looking forward to see improvements to my skin after full usage.

I recently bought the travel size of the Ekaterina Luxury Cream. I can't believe how visibly improved my skin is. I've had lovely feedback, completely unsolicited, that runs along the lines of, "What are you using on your skin? It looks amazing." At this time of year, it has been perfect as an a.m. product that I use after cleansing and a serum and sometimes as a p.m. product if I'm not using the Sake & Rice Sleeping Pack. A little Ekaterina goes a long way, by the way. It was a bit of a splurge, but the travel size is going to last me 6-8 weeks. Try it and get ready for compliments!

My skin gets quite sensitive and red in winter so this butter-like cream has really been great to calm, moisturize and soothe

My skin has never been happier. Doesn’t matter the season, this moisturizer is pure magic. I always look and feel soft and dewy.

I love anything pumpkin. It’s a great natural exfoliant. I bought the full size last year and finally finished my bottle. I wish I would bought two! It’s such a nice serum. Great smell and works wonders on your skin.

This is my second purchase of the full size and I love it! It makes your skin so smooth and the smell is amazing! I have been using sabbatical products since August 2024 and so happy I randomly found the company during my visit to Philadelphia. I recommend sabbatical to everyone who asks about my skin routine.

I love this cleanser. Sabbatical suggests using the vacuum oil cleanser first to pull out the junk of the day, then follow up with goat milk & rice foaming cleanser to prepare your skin for next steps. The vacuum cleanser gets a lot of hype (for good reason), so i wanted to emphasize here that this cleanser is its best friend!! My breakouts have gone away almost completely using this duo. I feel like my skin is a blank slate to soak up serum/lotion after. Can’t recommend enough!

Purchased but was not convinced of magical properties.

It has magical properties. Pulls "grits" out of my skin and leaves it soft, not stripped.

I would buy this as a gift for others.

I LOVE this serum. I can feel my skin getting smoother and nourished as I apply it. I've been using it for over a month and I can already see fewer fine lines

My boyfriend and I had a great time learning about sabbatical beauty. I previously didn't even really know that such small skincare companies existed! We loved trying all the products and Marisa was very attentive to our skincare concerns. Now we know exactly where to go when we want to purchase or gift nice skincare products made in the local area.

The workshop was so much fun, I came with my best friend on a very cold and windy day so we chose to drink hot tea.
Adeline informed us of the magic behind the products and how they support healthy skin. She walked us each through our own 10-step skincare routines. By the end we were more relaxed, giddy and glowing! I highly recommend trying the Skincare Discovery Workshop!

I love this stuff, and I am SO grateful I found it. It goes on easy, absorbs quickly and has transformed my skin. I was dealing with dullness and dark spots and this has made me look years younger. I was just thinking I should buy another bottle!

I love the idea of Sabbatical and have bought several products over the past year to try out. The brand checks a lot of boxes in terms of what I'm looking for in my skincare, but nothing I've purchased has been a good fit for my skin unfortunately. My skin has more redness than usual when I use the serums, I've tried it alone or in combo with Marine Serum and I'm sad that it's been irritating my skin and not showing any noticeable improvements. I also tried with Donkey Cream and it somehow didn't hydrate my skin very well and tingled when I applied it, sort of irritated my skin. I'm not typically very sensitive to products so this all surprised me.

Thanks for this program. Really terrific.

This is my favorite (well one of several) product. I make sure to stock up when limited releases happen. Just makes my skin look and feel softer and smoother. Highly recommend!

I tried a few samples from SB, and this is my favorite product. It’s lightweight, moisturizing, and has a light scent that is calming. Other eye treatments can irritate my sensitive skin and this does the opposite! It’s so soothing! Works nicely as a dry spot treatment.

This is a nice, soothing cleanser that as smells amazing. Doesn’t dry my skin out and leaves me hydrated. Removes makeup like a charm!

Love this as a non-abrasive toner! Leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. Acne prone, but also dry in winter and this leaves me balanced and not dried out.

I have been using Winter is Coming for the past 2 months as my evening moisturizer. I apply Donkey Cream after cleansing my face followed by Winter is Coming. I have noticed significant Improvement in my Skin's hydration as well as less noticeable fine lines. I love the scent of this product and would highly recommend this combination of donkey cream and winter is coming for anyone experiencing dry skin or flakiness.

I have always considered my skin to be combination, however this winter, I experienced a lot of dryness for the first time. My acupuncturist recommended that I try Sabbatical Beauty and Donkey Cream specifically. I followed her advice and have been so happy with the results! After the first use I noticed Improvement in my skin's hydration. I have been using this morning and night before moisturizing (Winter is Coming in the evening) and my skin is brighter and more hydrated with less noticeable fine lines. The scent is mild and pleasant and the texture leaves my skin feeling very soft and hydrated. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is experiencing dryness or looking to brighten up dullness and smooth fine lines.

For most of my life I had a very minimal skincare routine and I was under the impression that scrubbing the heck out of your skin was the way to take care of it. Especially because I had acne I thought deep cleaning meant really foamy skin drying face wash. I've used gentle cleansers in the past but I found that they didn't actually cleanse and left a residue behind that was irritation and clogged my pores. This is a whole different experience where the oil really cleanses but washes off completely and your skin is so freaking soft afterwards! I had a travel size but I just ordered a full size. This is going to be a permanent daily staple for me!

I am a hormonal nightmare. I always thought the acne would go away as I aged but it actually got worse! It's unusual to find an acne product that is filled with more irritating ingredients that exacerbate the redness and irritation. I use this in two ways: (1) when I am having a big acne event it really helps to calm down the irritation and speed up the drying process and (2) I also use it as a spot treatment for an active blemish or irritation on my chest, neck, or face. It is very concentrated so you don't have to use very much. The smell is neutral and is not irritating or overpowering when your skin is inflamed. It felt a little counterintuitive to rub something so silky and hydrating on acne prone skin but the results have been great.
