Product Reviews by Experts
It took me about 30 minutes to go from doubter to devotee. I thought it was a gimmick: I was wrong. I thought it would be oily: it’s not. Opening the packaging itself was an experience unto itself; as a designer I very much appreciated the stunning minimalist packaging made from discarded sugarcane leaves, while the slick, durable refillable canister that houses the waterless, solid oil formulation is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. Sans says this is the future of multi-use beauty – and I don’t disagree. I love that you can use this product as a facial serum, body oil, massage tool, cleanser, hair serum, lip treatment and more. Beyond the theatre of this product (which I am here for) and their exemplary responsible production ethics, Perpetual is a dream to use. A standout example of skincare with integrity, purpose and efficacy.
What I liked most about this product was how luxurious it felt from the moment I used it. The packaging was beautifully designed, and the applicator made it incredibly easy to dispense just the right amount. It glided effortlessly onto my skin, creating a really smooth and enjoyable application experience. The formula absorbed beautifully without feeling greasy, leaving my skin feeling hydrated, soft, and refreshed. It felt like a premium skincare product in every sense, from the packaging through to the performance. I really enjoyed learning more about the values behind this brand. Keeping manufacturing, filling, and packing within New Zealand demonstrates a strong commitment to quality, transparency, and supporting local industry. I also admired the way they prioritise the wellbeing of their team through fair pay and flexible working arrangements, while partnering with organisations that create meaningful employment opportunities for people facing barriers to work. It’s refreshing to see a brand that places as much importance on people, community, and ethical business practices as it does on the quality of its products.
The design and usability of this product is unique and innovative. And it smells terrific. I love that it has multiple uses besides just the face. That speaks to the quality of the Activator 7! The transparent and monitored relationships with their whole supply chain are terrific. The packaging is on point with being 100% recyclable and paper-based. Printing is also done using vegetable-based dyes to reduce environmental toxins and negative impacts, avoiding petroleum-based inks that have heavy metals.
