I was so excited to try this skincare and support the brand. Unfortunately, the smell of this cream was too intense for me. It seemed okay when I first opened it and gave it a sniff, but then I tried a little on the back of my hand and knew it would be overwhelming on my face. Fingers crossed for an unscented version!

Hair Type: Wavy
Hair Texture: Medium

The one time that I've used it so far, my hair felt so soft and nourished. I love that there's no need for a separate product to condition my hair!! This totally suits my simple and no nonsense approach to most things.

Age Range: 45-54
Skin Type: Combination

This cream is incredibly good. In the last 7-10 days that I've been using it, it has visibly improved my skin.

Hair Type: Wavy
Hair Texture: Fine

OMG I love this shampoo. It smells so good. I have NEVER not used conditioner, but with this shampoo, you don't neeD it. My hair is thinning and every time I would wash my hair it would leave what looked like a small rodent in the drain trap. Today is the second time I've used it and had hardly any hair loss. I'm hoping this is a good sign. Great products. I'm glad I found you. You need to make a body lotion now!!

Age Range: 65+
Skin Type: Ageing

I am literally blown away. My face feels amazing and so soft. I've only been using it for about a week, but I can definitely tell the difference in how my skin feels. You need to make body lotion now. Judging from the face cream I bet it would be awesome.

Hair Type: Wavy
Hair Texture: Fine

Lovely scent, lush lather, and makes my hair feel healthy and soft. Will absolutely repurchase. Love, love, love!

Age Range: 35-44
Skin Type: Sensitive

A wonderful face cream, an absolute joy to use. The texture is light yet occlusive, and makes my sensitive skin very happy. I am always nervous to try a new cream as my skin isn’t always happy with every product, but this one is a keeper. I’m very happy with this - An instant favorite.

Age Range: 55-64
Skin Type: Dry

I love the way it smells, the way it feels on my skin! It's very hydrating which is exactly what my skin needs. What I put on my skin is very important to be since it is absorbed into the bloodstream so being able to trust the Korean Vegan brand is huge for me. It's only my second order, but I believe I will be using this cream for years to come!

Age Range: 45-54
Skin Type: Combination

Pure silky love. I am so happy to have found this vegan collagen cream. One that I can trust and depend on and it smells great. A little bit goes a long way.

Age Range: 35-44
Skin Type: Sensitive

I am on my 2nd pot. I absolutely love this cream. It’s clean, smells so good and it’s light but moisturizing. My skin feels healthy, hydrated and no breakouts.

Hair Type: Straight
Hair Texture: Medium

This is fast becoming my favorite shampoo. My hair is silky, smooth, and my scalp is no longer dry. I love that you only need a little of the product, and the scent is light and pleasant. I am looking forward to seeing a hair mask/conditioner in the future to go with this shampoo. I know it will be amazing!

Age Range: 45-54
Skin Type: Combination

My skin has never felt better! This cream gives my perimenopausal skin the right amount of moisture and I love the light scent and it isn’t heavy at all.

Age Range: 35-44
Skin Type: Dry

A deeply moisturizing face cream with a subtle rose scent. Didn’t leave my face sticky, soaked right into the skin without feeling heavy. Would definitely purchase again!

Literally the best cream I’ve used on my face. It does such a great job at moisurizing and it has a beautiful scent that is not overpowering. It feels gentle but effective.

Age Range: 25-34
Skin Type: Sensitive

Been using this for about two weeks and my skin has never been softer. I'm combining with the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum. But that's it!

Age Range: 35-44
Skin Type: Combination

Seems to work really well to smooth out skin while being light.
Can you explore a plastic free/ low plastic packaging option later?

I love the creme, it’s light but my face feels moisturized all day and night. I love the clean ingredients ethic, and supporting Joanne Molinaro who is a Korean-American woman entrepreneur pursuing her passions. My only wish is that the jar was less wasteful though it is meant to help with a luxurious presentation. This is my first Korean beauty product and I will let my grown daughters know about it too. I tend to be more “all natural“ in my choices but this product seems to be that and luxe at the same time.

Age Range: 45-54
Skin Type: Normal

Light, airy, and makes my skin look and feel better!

Hair Type: Wavy
Hair Texture: Medium

Truly, what magic is this? I’m so picky about what I use in my hair, but holy moly, this is unreal! Whatever you have made is amazing. My hair is so luscious and soft, while also feeling thick and strong. The smell is also so heavenly. Please keep making more products, because you just haven’t made enough! I couldn’t recommend this shampoo more… well, maybe if there was a conditioner (pretty please 🙏🏻) to go with it??

Hair Type: Wavy
Hair Texture: Fine

My hair has never felt this smooth or healthy. I cant stop touching it! Forever buying this product.

Age Range: 45-54
Skin Type: Combination

I think it’s the adhesive used to connect the two pieces of the lid. That aside, I love the cream!

Age Range: 35-44
Skin Type: Combination

I really like the face cream. It's lightweight while still very hydrating.

My only gripe is withe the jar the cream came in. At one point the top part of the lid seperated from the inner part of the lid. Luckily I can still open the jar, but this is definitely a manufacturering flaw with the lid. I'm hoping it won't happen again.

Age Range: 45-54
Skin Type: Acne

Perimenopause has been kicking my butt. This has done a great job soothing my skin and helping with the hormonal acne.

Hair Type: Curly
Hair Texture: Fine

I have curly and fine hair; I am post menopausal; and live in a humid city. I wondered if the shampoo would make a difference without using the conditioner. I did not expect my hair to be so soft and shiny. My hairstylist noticed how my hair felt so smooth and said she would use it on her hair if it had a conditioner. Please create the conditioner! I love this shampoo how it makes my hair feel, just like when it was virgin hair.
