Rose Cleansing Balm

I’ve been using VCO for over two years now and don’t think I can go back to using anything else to clean my face and remove my makeup. Prior to that, I was already used to oil cleansing but used jojoba oil. I had no idea that an oil cleanser could work this well. Then at some point, I was tight on funds so I decided to try another brand of oil cleanser with similar ingredients that was a fraction of the price and was left sorely disappointed. It hardly removed my make up, my face was left feeling not fully clean, I experienced more breakouts, and the oil and make up residue afterward wouldn’t easily come off my washcloths after washing them. After a few weeks of using that other cleanser, I gave up and ordered VCO again. And now I don’t plan on using anything else. It’s my favorite SB product. I rarely ever write product reviews but for me, this one is worth it!

I use Dorian Grey serum under my makeup and in the evening. I noticed less break outs. I usually have break outs on my chin. But have not had a problem since.

I love lavender and I love chamomile. And the two of these together is like a moment of self-care as I spritz my way through a grocery store. I really love the slender 10 ml bottle and the portability of it. Get it.

I really love the scent of this hand sanitizer. It gives me a pause. When I use it I inhale and there is a moment of peace. I like Sabbatical Beauty's sanitizers (I have also used the Lavender Chamomile one). This Hinoki Rose scent is very exotic and I feel like for a moment I am somewhere else and not so stressed. That is probably why I have used so much of it! Unlike other hand sanitizers, this purifier is more natural rather than some scents like "birthday cake" and "beach" that I had from another not-to-be-named brand. I would encourage you to let yourself have a bit of self-care with your safety, especially while this pandemic continues.

I love this serum so much! I have many SB serums, but I find myself reaching for this one day after day! It makes my skin have such a nice healthy, hydrated glow and keeps my tone nice and even! I tend to use this at night, but I also like it for daytime. And you also get sooo much in the full size!

As soon as I swiped this on my face, I fell in love! I can’t explain it, but it gave my skin just the right amount of tightness to feel clean and bright but not dry or uncomfortable. It also made a great base for my serums to absorb quickly!

This mask is incredible. I love everything about it. After you use it, your face feels sooo fresh and clean. It really helps to keep breakouts and blemishes at bay. It has really helped to heal my cystic acne (I use it 1-2 times per week) and it is a staple in my skin care routine!

This serum is amazing for healing my acne or any other blemishes almost overnight. This is part of my daily routine, and I know it has contributed to my acne clearing up (for the first time in about 5 years). I LOVE the texture and it smells so good too!

This stuff is AMAZING. I have struggled with cystic acne for about 5 years now. I started using this serum as part of my skin care routine in March, and it has changed everything. I no longer have to wear makeup everyday to cover up painful breakouts. I use this every night and it really helps keep my acne under control. Also I love the way the tea tree makes my skin feel so clean and fresh. I wish I had before and after pictures to back this review up, but trust me. This is such game changer.

First let me confess, I love all things SB, but Gaia takes my skin to the next level! The firming Gaia provides is nothing short of miraculous! Gaia and another favorite of mine Lift serum, have taken ten years off of my neck and face.

I get a lot of cystic acne and it always scars no matter what. I can't say this has totally gotten rid of the scarring but it definitely helps so much! The scarring isnt as dark and I do feel like it heals quicker. Of course I also pick at it a lot but really do think this makes a difference!

I like the creamy foam and the refreshing feeling after using Kombucha cleanser. It cleans my skin without drying it out. Love it. <3

I've heard a lot about how healing this cream is but only after finally buying it, did I believe it. You can see it in the pictures but my dogs tend to scratch my arms a lot as they're jumping down. I've gotten used to seeing scars because I never put stuff on the scratches besides antibiotic. In the picture, the left is with a ton of Rose and Honey Cream slathered on. Then, just a few (3 to 4!) hours later, the scratches are mostly gone. I've forgotten to put it on certain scratches and notice a huge difference (definitely scarring without the cream). I hope SB is always in business, if only for this product alone!

I have dry, aging skin (am 53) and I was surprised by how much I like this mask. While it dries rather fast for me, it is cool and the coconut oil that is in this does not dry out my skin. It dries ON my skin, but my skin is very smooth and bouncy after I take it off. I have to use a cloth to get it all off, but I really love the pieces of seaweed in this mask, and I feel like I am "feeding" my skin something good. Since this mask is dark purple, and in a picture might seem like black-face, I am not posting a picture. I would encourage you to try this mask for goodness for your skin.

After you use this hand potion, you're done. You can't go back to any other hand creams. I'm sorry. You can take that risk or not. If you love the scent of strawberries and summer you're in for a treat. If you're not, I don't know what to tell you. Good luck with your life.

That is the least poetic review title I have ever written but it's true. I hate that tightness of over stripping cleansers but this one is just perfect.

I have normal to maybe a little bit oily skin and this skin is rich but it's the most perfect night cream. I use it at night and my face is bouncy in the morning. Also smells like heaven. Babies in heaven. Oh wait that's sad. It smells like heavenly babies.

This serum perks up my face in a magical way. Poof! Fine lines disappear, and I look refreshed even if I don't feel that way (for context, let's note I'm writing this as a health professional and mom of two littles five months into the pandemic). I love that I can use Lift any time of year since it doesn't use retinol (which, at least for me, causes pretty significant photosensitivity).

I cannot say enough about BSP and the wonderful goodies you receive!! This order, I received the very highly coveted Ekaterina Luxury Cream as my gift and it has a retail value of $75!!!! Come on now... and last month I received a FULL SIZE, Wise Old Crone Beauty Oil as my gift and that retails around the $70 range too! To say we get spoiled is putting it mildly! If you’re on the fence, I hope this helps to push you over the edge to join us😊

I have dry sensitive skin and have started to develop some redness and dark spots. I was aware of the healing powers of honey and rose so when I came across this product and read the ingredients I had to try it. Amazingly soothing and healing. As others have said a little goes a very long way. This is my first product /purchase it most certainly will not be my last.

You know I couldn't resist the MCU reference. :P But really ... Hydra I'm loving because it adds moisture without the weight/stickiness I tend to associate with products specifically designed to moisturize. I'm not sure what in the formula is giving me this result, but I'm also finding that Hydra seems to leave my skin a little less sensitive, a little less prone to inflammation. I have chronic inflammatory issues that affect my skin as well as my GI tract, so topical anti-inflammatories that don't a) goop up and peel off; b) smother my skin until it's itching just from the formula itself; c) contain steroids I can't handle over the long term OR d) smell like a combination of Old Man's Medicine Cabinet and some ancient recipe for Horse Liniment are a big WIN in my book!
I picked up the travel size when serums were on sale almost a month ago, mainly because I wanted to get free shipping (and, spoiler: a TS of Hydra is actually $1.95 CHEAPER than the standard shipping, because Life Makes No Sense). I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. Reminds me of the Strawberry Serum from Summer 2019 - and that's saying a LOT. Wish I'd bought the full size; will definitely buy again!

Moar Honey is really a workhorse: if you've got acne, it's anti-inflammatory and mildly antimicrobial. If you've got sunburn, it's soothing. If you've got dry skin, it moisturizes. If you've got oily skin, it won't turn you into a slimy puddle. If my neurosenitivity and/or dermatitis happens to act up, I can keep using MH to soothe while I work my way through the (potentially drying) treatments.
I use it around my eyes the most (for the moisturizing benefits); I'll use it on cuts and scrapes from head to toe.
If I want to put MH on a larger area, I'll often mix it half-and-half another soothing serum (APH, maybe Marine) to thin it out just a bit and keep it from going sticky. If I'm just spot-treating, it's really not an issue; by the time I've applied my moisturizer and/or sunscreen, the MH is sinking in to do its work and I hardly notice.

I purchased The GOT GRITS? for myself first. Suffering from blackheads and large pores on my nose and chin, I thought I’d give this a try. After using for one month, I purchased four more GOT GRITS? for the women-children in my life. While the process may feel consuming (takes me about 1.5 hours to do it all (bear in mind I’m a slow reader too!), I can’t get enough of how wonderful my skin feels for days on end. The month’s experience has taught me what I need to share with my women-children who have extremely busy lives. I adore setting aside time each Sunday or Monday for this special treat for myself. You will too!

These botanical hand sanitizers are the bomb! After a stressful outing to pick up essentials, it is wonderful to hop back into your car and spray your hands with these. The gorgeous smell makes you feel comforted and safe and no longer concerned you are being exposed to other people. Ah! I’ve since purchased several more to give as gifts.

I recently razor burned my legs from shaving too aggressively. I was not sure what to use, and someone suggested I use this Rose and Honey Cream. It worked really well. I am still using it a few days later, but the burn is very much relieved and less painful. I'm sorry that I did not try this product sooner.

I have always been a fan of Snow and even though I live in a highly humid swamp climate (Florida) I use this nightly on my 40+ normal skin.

The Lavender Amethyst is an amazing improvement on an already great product. The scent is delicious and so relaxing right before bed and the formula seems creamier and more “whipped.” Highly recommend this for a comprehensive moisturizer that locks in serums and oils and provides serene soothing aromatherapy.

This scrub is amazing! I use it once a week in the shower. My face is brighter and feels so clean. It has a strong coffee smell, as you might expect, but it’s a little extra jolt in the morning. I would recommend this to anyone!

Would not smell nearly as fantastic as this one does. I received a trial size of this cleanser and it is unlike anything else that I’ve seen. The smell, not a synthetic fragrance, but like walking through a rose garden. The consistency is milky and washes clean, clean, clean. It goes deep into the pores, and skin feels clean and hydrated. Never dry or tight.

Such a wonderful splash on mask! I use it in the shower 2-4 times per week. I follow it with either Rice Against the Patriarchy foaming cleanser or Rose Foaming Cleanser. When I step out of the shower, my face is baby soft. It helps get those little 'rough patches' that don't seem to leave with a simple double cleanse. It also helps my skin better absorb my serums. I notice that my freckles and darker areas on my face fade a bit when I use it. It is very easy to use and very good for my skin overall. Use it and you'll be surprised at how much smoother your face is when you're finished.

I’ve used this mask 2-3 times a week for the last month and I absolutely love it! It has a strong cooling effect that calms down redness and inflammation on my face due to rosacea. If I feel my face is reacting to the heat or another trigger, I put this on and it immediately starts to cool off my skin. I will definitely be buying this again.

I’ve been using this cream for about a month and have noticed the redness on my face due to rosacea has become less prominent. CALM Cream is gentle but hydrating, it’s a fabulous everyday moisturizer. I’ve been using it after the Microbiome Serum.

This sleeping pack has the loveliest scent ever. I took it on a recent camping trip and my skin was softened and hydrated overnight after days in the sun and lake.

I was able to try this product during the summer product launch virtual party, and within minutes my eyes were brighter, less puffy, and the under eye circles weren't as dark. I've been using Red Wine Pressed Serum under my eyes, but found this was more effective for an immediate improvement. It went on really nicely and a little went a long way. I can't wait until it is restocked so I can see the long term effects of adding it to my routine.
