Product Reviews by Experts


This is a powerhitter brightening serum and I could feel the clever formulation the minute I applied the serum. It has multi brightening ingredients like Kakadu Plum, Licorice Root and Bearberry, handling pigmentation from different pathways and strong antioxidant support as well. It’s super lightweight, leaves a lovely hydration in the skin and feels very calming as well. Considering this is an almost entirely botanical formula with no synthetic actives at all, it’s very impressive to learn their formulations prioritise botanicals that can be responsibly cultivated and harvested without threatening natural ecosystems, helping protect biodiversity and reduce pressure on vulnerable plant species. It’s a considerate step in honouring the land while still being able to formulate such a beautiful product.


This serum feels so silky on your skin, and makes me feel instantly hydrated and glowy. There is a really unique soft aroma to this serum that I feel addicted to. It’s a truly stunning product and I really appreciate that it is a softer botanical approach to vitamin C, while still targeting luminosity, tone and smoothness. Lawen’s ethical story is impressive for a micro-batch brand, with thoughtful sourcing, small-scale production, refill or low-waste values and a holistic approach to conscious skincare. The way they approach this aspect of their business is beautifully consistent with the brand’s wider ritual-based philosophy.


This serum feels sublime. It refreshes my skin and feels so nourishing underneath a face oil – yet, it also doesn’t need a top layer because it already feels so hydrating. Leaves my skin dewy. The neroli scent is next level – LOVE. Dropper works well (as often they don’t). Would happily buy this in a bigger size. Love the mindful, low-impact production and that Lawen uses a naturally sourced Vitamin C (many “natural” products do not).
