Product Reviews by Experts


What I loved most about this serum was the exceptional quality of both the formulation and the ingredients. The inclusion of vitamin A was a real standout, and from the first application it felt beautiful on my skin. It glided on effortlessly, absorbed beautifully, and left my skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and hydrated without any heaviness. The natural aroma was fresh and uplifting without being overpowering, making it a pleasure to use every day. It consistently gave my skin a healthy, radiant glow, and I genuinely looked forward to applying it each morning. Out of all the products in this panel review, this was my absolute favourite. What impressed me most was how comprehensive the brand’s ethical values are, extending well beyond the product itself. I really appreciated the commitment to responsibly sourced ingredients, cruelty free and vegan formulations, and the strong focus on fair labour practices throughout the supply chain. It’s reassuring to see such clear standards around worker welfare, child labour, and environmental responsibility. I also love that the brand gives back through charitable initiatives, as I always value businesses that use their success to create a positive impact for both people and the planet.


What I enjoyed most was how luxurious yet lightweight the serum feels on the skin. It absorbs beautifully without leaving any heaviness, and my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and smooth after use. I also really appreciated the botanical blend, it feels very intentional and well thought out, and it gives a sense of calm, high-end skincare that still feels gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. I also really liked the design of the vessel itself, particularly the dropper. It feels controlled and considered, making it easy to dispense just the right amount without overusing the product. I usually find droppers can release too much serum at once, which leads to product being used up faster than intended, but this one felt precise and helped the serum go further. From both a sustainability perspective and as a mum who is very conscious about what I bring into my home and use on my skin, I really appreciate how embedded the ethical framework is in this brand rather than it being surface level marketing. The consistency across cruelty free, vegan formulation, supplier accountability, and ethical labour standards gives a genuine sense of integrity and oversight that you don’t always see so clearly articulated. With my background working in sustainability, I also value how considered the approach is across the full lifecycle, from ingredient sourcing through to packaging and end-of-life recovery systems like the recycling initiative. It feels practical rather than performative, which is something I pay close attention to. The i=Change initiative also stands out as a meaningful way of linking purchase behaviour to real impact, rather than treating philanthropy as an afterthought.


Give your skin a little lift with this oil serum that kept my skin hydrated and supple from the first application. Gentle and packed full of plentiful (21 to be precise!) plant oils this became an essential step of my routine. Spread lovingly all over face, neck and decolletage. Love this everyface serum by Sodashi natural, high-performance ingredients and suitable for all skin types – stunning. Love their aim to protect biodiversity and ensure the fair treatment of farmers and communities throughout the supply chain, whilst sourcing the highest quality ingredients sustainably. They have multiple initiatives to balance effective skincare with environmental responsibility and positive social impact.
