Ethique Saving Face Nourishing Solid Face Serum for All Skin Types - Plastic-Free, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Eco-Friendly, 2.29 oz (Pack of 1)

I ordered this along with the "In Your Face" bar. Have recently discovered this company and so far, I'm very happy with all the products I've tried. This particular product has been versatile in my bag. I have used it on my face, and for starters, you really should use a very small amount since it does tend to melt. I've been carrying one of the bars in an aluminum tin in my purse. It feels really nice on my face. After I put it on, my skin feels supple and soft. I can imagine this will feel especially better during the winter months. The best part has actually been using it on my hair. It helps keep the frizz down while keeping my hair touchably soft and shiny. A huge difference from gels, mousse, etc. Just finished reading the box and saw that you can use it on your cuticles, and I just tried it right now. It feels nice but I can't say if it will last and how long. I guess it will be hard to tell on your hands because of the constant washing, but so far, so good. Oh! I did try it on my lips, as it says you can use it for that too, but I didn't like it. It didn't last long plus it felt as if my lips got drier after it wore off so I wouldn't recommend it for that. All in all, this item is totally worth the price since you can use it for so much more. It is recommended to store in the fridge since it melts somewhat easily, but I only did that while traveling in Puerto Rico, for obvious reasons. Other than that, I keep it in my bedroom. With air conditioning, I haven't had any problems up until now. I would definitely recommend this product.Update July 11, 2018: I originally bought this in May. So far, I've managed to finish one of the bars, and I use this on a daily basis and a few times a day. Like I mentioned before, I use it as a facial moisturizer, on my hair (to keep those flyaways at bay), and on my cuticles. As a facial moisturizer, I warm it up in my hands and use whatever stays on my hands. I might turn the bar once in my hands and then just dab it onto my face, very sparingly. I do the same with my hair. I just use the slightest amount because it is thick and will feel greasy and waxy if too much is used. Oh! And, for my cuticles?!!! I've only just started using this on my cuticles around one month ago. My nails have started growing nice, long and healthy. Who knew?! Another use I've found is for my feet. It's sandal wearing season right now, and I've been using this on my heels. Since it tends to last longer on the skin, my feet look and feel nice and soft in my sandals. No more ashy heels!!! Luckily, there were three bars, so I carry one in my purse for my face, hair and cuticles; one at home for my feet; the last one at home for my face, hair and cuticles. In my book, this is a must have.

This face serum starting “saving face” after the first use lol! Normally I don’t notice products making a noticeable difference on my skin for at least a week. The very first night I used this though, I noticed the areas of my face that had been struggling to heal for weeks began healing! Old acne blemishes, red marks, etc. After three-four days I noticed a huge difference in troubled areas. I also noticed my skin looks more hydrated and healthy. My fine lines also do look a little better which is surprising to see in a weeks time. Most importantly, my face is finally almost healed!! Saving face was a cleaver yet realistic name here! LolThis serum comes in three bars that you rub directly into your skin. At first I felt like it was a little wax like but it actually soaks in very really well after 15-20 minutes. That being said it’s not sticky either. They smell sort of funny to me and remind me of my kids all natural playdough lol. The “scent” is very very mild though. This product has no added scent to it and would be great for anyone with allergies or sensitivities to smells as well. I will be buying this again. It has replaced my other serums and I’m very happy with my purchase!!!Thank you ethique for another game changing zero waste beauty product!! I wish I would have found you guys before I started eliminating plastic! My hair and face are way happier on your regimen lol!

I’ve been looking for a zero-waste facial moisturizer and this one leaves my sensitive skin soft and moisturized. It’s a little greasy, but I usually use it as a night cream so that’s no biggie. My only complaint is it has a faint “off” smell like the oils in it were starting to go bad, but it was not so irritating that I wanted to return it.

Ordered this after falling in love with it in the sampler. This full sized product was hard and grainy and difficult to use. After contacting Ethique directly to ask if there was an issue or of they’d changed the formula because I was extremely disappointed in the product I’d gotten. They said yes- the lot # I had did have a known problem. They wanted to send me a replacement. After giving them all my info, and getting a confirmation email that the order was placed, a month passed and I still had no product and no shipping confirmation. I emailed Ethique again, and that day a shipping confirmation was sent. A week later I had the product. When I opened the box the smell was AWFUL. Like rancid old Parmesan cheese. In all, the product in the sampler gave me such wonderful results, but I’m so disappointed in the experience with two of the full sized products that’s dont even know if I’m going to give it another try. At $28 plus shipping, it’s not cheap. And the inconsistency makes me weary of the company’s ability to serve us in the US well, bc it doesn’t seem that they have any sort of quality assurances or controls in place for their manufacturing or shipping methods.

My main concern with buying this moisturizer was the price - $30?!? I have semi oily skin that dries out at the drop of a hat and have terrible allergic reactions to a lot of skin products, so after loving the sample size, I decided to say screw it and buy the full size. I HAVE NEVER HAD A MOISTURIZER LAST THIS LONG. I’ve had it for three months and I’m only halfway done with the first of three bars, using it either every day or every other day! I won’t have to buy more for another year, which is great. It works really f***ing well, too - it doesn’t make me break out, doesn’t give me any reactions, and it moisturizes my face perfectly. The bar form takes a bit of getting used to and it does have a tendency to get any hair or fiber stuck to it, but it’s worth it once you get the hang of it!
