When we think about what kinds of products we should use, one of the factors we often think of is skin type. There are four generally accepted skin types — dry, oily, normal, and combination — and, while we think it’s useful to know your skin type, we also think it’s important to note that skin type is not the sole or most important criterion on which to hang your approach to skincare. Your skin type is just one thing in a myriad of many things (like environment, skin concerns, etcetera) to consider when it comes to skincare.
It’s also important to remember that your skin type can change! As we get older, our skin naturally becomes drier, and, if we move from one climate to another, our skin may also shift and adapt in response to those environmental factors. Stress, also, can impact skin, as can the quality of sleep, what we’re eating, etcetera — which is why we say the same thing over and over again: listen to your skin! Your skin will tell you what it needs.
We do think that it can be helpful to know your skin type, though, and understand what each type needs. Skin type is a good place to start in figuring out what kinds of products you should look for. That’s why we thought we’d take some time to revisit the basics and go into each skin type, providing product recommendations and explaining the reason for each. As you read on, you might notice we mention the same few things, though, no matter the skin type — cleanse gently, protect your natural skin barrier, and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. As you’ll see, that’s not an accident.
DRY SKIN
Dry skin is dry all year round. It’s normal for skin, in general, to dry out during cold winter months (or hot summer months in dry climates like Los Angeles’), but, if you have dry skin, your skin will feel dry (and, often, itchy or irritated) no matter the season or climate. This is typically because your skin does not produce enough oil on its own, so skin isn’t sufficiently hydrated or moisturized. This can happen for a variety of reasons, from genetics to skin conditions like eczema to improper cleansing techniques.
Sensitive skin and dry skin are often closely linked, though not all dry skin is sensitive (and not all sensitive skin is dry), and dry skin can be more prone to redness and irritation. It might feel itchy and tight. The main thing, unsurprisingly, is to make sure to hydrate dry skin deeply, avoiding harsh products and, even, extreme temperatures — a hot, steamy shower might be feel good when you’re standing in it, but heat will pull moisture from your skin, further drying out your already dry skin. You want to do all you can to hydrate skin deeply — and keep that hydration in.
Products We Recommend:
Peach & Lily, Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser
With dry skin, opt for a routine where you layer on hydration; start with cleansing. You don’t want a cleanser that will strip away all your natural oils and leave your skin feeling tight and dry because that can dehydrate your skin and harm your natural skin barrier. Look for a cleanser that works gently, removing oil, sweat, and other grime without removing hydration or moisture from skin. The Peach & Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser is a sulfate-free cleanser that sweeps away impurities (including light makeup!) while hydrating and soothing your skin.
Peach & Lily, Wild Dew Treatment Essence
An essence’s key function is to drench skin with hydration, prepping it to absorb all the beneficial ingredients in the products to follow, and we would particularly recommend dry skin types to make sure not to skip essence. Essences are specifically formulated to deliver hydration deep into skin and absorb quickly, and an essence might be the missing step in your routine, the product that helps really quench your dry skin’s thirst. Beyond hydration, essences also often come with beneficial secondary benefits — the Peach & Lily Wild Dew Treatment Essence, for example, also has brightening, nourishing, and protecting benefits thanks to niacinamide, radish leaf extract, and bamboo extract.
Miwaji, Hyalu Serum Veil
The Miwaji Hyalu Serum Veil was developed by a dermatologist in Korea who believes that hydration is one of the key pillars to skin health. The Hyalu Serum Veil contains short-, medium-, and long-chain hyaluronic acid molecules, which means that hyaluronic acid, a humectant able to hold a thousand times its weight in moisture, is able to sink down into all layers of skin, hydrating deeply from within. The thing that makes the Hyalu Serum Veil truly unique, though, is the “veil” element — apply a second layer of Hyalu Serum Veil, and the product will form a protective veil over skin, locking in all that rich hydration.
OILY SKIN
If you have oily skin, you deal with shine all year round. It’s normal for skin to feel more oily during summer months, but you’re likely always blotting away shine during the day no matter the weather because your skin just overproduces oil. Oily skin is more prone to breakouts and blemishes because oil can collect in pores, trapping bacteria and causing breakouts, but it’s important to note that having oily skin doesn’t mean you’re dealing with acne all the time.
It’s crucial to remember that oily skin can also get dehydrated — or that dehydrating skin can actually lead to oily skin. When skin is dehydrated, our sebaceous glands (which produce oil) go into overdrive as a way to compensate, producing even more oil. That’s one reason proper cleansing is important, no matter your skin type; not only does it help protect your natural skin barrier, protecting your overall skin health, it also helps maintain the oil/hydration balance in your skin.
Products We Recommend:
Eco Your Skin, Oil-to-Foam Cleanser
Oily skin types should also cleanse gently. It can be tempting to wash away all the oil because your skin naturally produces so much, but there are good oils that help balance your skin and sebum production. Also, stripping your skin dry can also damage your natural skin barrier, which can open your skin up to different negative effects, including dehydration. Cleansing gently but thoroughly can help keep your skin balanced and hydrated while sweeping away excess oil — we like Eco Your Skin’s Oil-to-Foam Cleanser, which acts as a oil-based and water-based cleanser in one. The oils help dissolve impurities, going deep into pores and clearing them out, while aloe and chamomile soothe skin. The Oil-to-Foam Cleanser is also sulfate-free!
Femmue, Gentle Green Relief Mask
Wash-off clay masks are great for really clearing out the oil, bacteria, and debris that can clog up pores, but kaolin clay can often be incredibly drying, leaving skin feeling clean but tight and uncomfortable. The Femmue Gentle Green Relief Mask, however, balances the pore-clearing abilities of kaolin clay with the hydrating power of glycerin and olive oil — and it goes a step further and even adds the gentlest exfoliation with green tea leaves. Unlike other clay masks, the Gentle Green Relief Mask doesn’t harden or, even, dry into a rigid shell, remaining soft and pliant (don’t worry; there’s absolutely no dripping or mess), so skin feels comfortable and hydrated. After you wash it off, skin feels bouncy and soft, pores beautifully cleared.
Peach Slices, Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow
It might be tempting to skip moisturizer because it feels like an additional layer to burden oily skin. Don’t skip your moisturizer, though! A moisturizer seals in hydration and helps reduce or slow down transepidermal water loss, and, as we said above, oily skin, too, has to be sufficiently hydrated to manage oil production. Opt instead for a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly into skin, instead of simply sitting on the surface and adding shine, like the Peach Slices Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow, a gel texture that sinks into skin without weighing it down.

That’s Part One! Tune in tomorrow for Part Two, where we talk about normal and combination skin!
We all have our own stories about our mothers. To celebrate Mother’s Day, we’d love to hear your stories about your mother, so leave us a note below with your favorite story about your mom!
Here’s mine.
My mother is my hero — and she’s also my skincare hero.
I have severe eczema, and, when I was a small child, my mother did everything she could to help manage my eczema. She took me to all the doctors, concocted bleach baths (as recommended by the National Eczema Association!), and tried as many different products and methods she could find to help my bleeding, irritated, rashy skin. She never gave up. And she set me down a path of curiosity about my skin that eventually led to esthetician school, where I was empowered to dig deep into the science of skin to truly take control of my flare-ups. I’ll forever be grateful to my mom for establishing that skincare is a special kind of self-care.
My mother has beautiful skin — and even at age 65 (she’s given me permission to share her age!), without a single shot of Botox or fillers, her skin is radiant and vibrant. She’s the epitome of practicing what she preaches. And I’m lucky to see how years of consistent skin(self)care pays off.
I sat down with my mom to get all her latest and greatest skincare secrets, and I’m so excited to be able to share it with you! Please enjoy our chat, and I want to take a moment to say a big thank you to all the mothers out there! Thank you for your love and wisdom and sacrifices! We love you!
It’s understandable to mistake dehydrated skin for dry skin; they sound like that they would be the same — or, at least, similar. However, dehydrated skin is different from dry skin, and the key difference is simple: dry skin is a skin type while dehydrated skin is a skin concern. That means that all skin types can get dehydrated, including oily skin.
A few key symptoms of dehydrated skin are tightness, flakiness, increased sensitivity, and redness. Your skin might be feeling parched or itchy. Your skin might even feel oilier than usual, which sounds counterintuitive, until you think of it this way — when your skin thinks it’s dehydrated, it’s going to try to compensate for it in some way possible, so your skin starts producing more oil.
So, if you suspect your skin is dehydrated, what should you do? How do you get hydration back into your skin? Is it just about drinking a lot of water and using a thicker moisturizer?
Here are five easy ways to treat dehydrated skin.
Use a gentle cleanser.
You might be tempted to think of cleansing as a pre-step to a skincare routine because the role of a cleanser is to, well, cleanse skin. You use a cleanser, after all, to dissolve away impurities, oil, sweat, dirt, and whatever else that may have accumulated on your skin, and it’s not like beneficial ingredients in a cleanser are going to have much time to absorb into your skin — you’re going to rinse the cleanser off right away.
However! That doesn’t mean the ingredients in a cleanser are ineffective and pointless, and cleansers are still able to help soothe and hydrate skin as they remove impurities. That’s why cleansing correctly is a crucial step to helping dehydrated skin. We highly recommend calming, hydrating cleansers because they’re effective and gentle on skin, cleansing deeply without also sweeping away the good oils and moisture that keep your skin healthy and hydrated. That, in turn, helps keep your natural skin barrier (also known as the lipid barrier) intact, which helps maintain skin health and reduce transepidermal water loss, so hydration stays in skin.
Recommended product: we highly recommend the double cleanse because it’s gentle, hydrating, and effective! Start with the Be the Skin Daily Complete Cleansing Oil to dissolve away oil-based impurities (because oil attracts oil!), including waterproof makeup. Follow that with a gentle, hydrating water-based cleanser like the Peach & Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser, which is packed with soothing ingredients like chamomile, camellia, and centella asiatica extracts. Even better? The Power Calm Cleanser is sulfate-free!
Don’t forget your essence.
The primary thing an essence does is drench skin with hydration. We’ve made this analogy before, but think about a sponge. When it’s dry and hardened, it can’t absorb much at all, unable to sop up much moisture. However, when you soak the sponge in hydration, the sponge plumps up and is able to absorb moisture; you can then use it, for example, to wipe up spills on counters.
The analogy translates over to skin. When your skin is dry, it is more difficult for it to absorb and hold onto as much hydration as it potentially can. An essence helps with that by drenching your skin with hydration, so your skin is then prepped and able to absorb more moisture. Your skin, then, is also better able to absorb all the beneficial ingredients in the serums, ampoules, and moisturizers that may follow in your routine.
Recommended product: the Peach & Lily Wild Dew Treatment Essence contains both deeply hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin as well as nourishing ingredients like lotus root extract, niacinamide, and yeast ferment to help nourish skin and fight off free radical damage.
Incorporate a hydrating sheet mask.
Sheet masks are a fantastic way to give your skin an extra boost of hydration. The sheet forms an occlusive barrier, so the hydrating, nourishing ingredients in the essence (in which the sheet mask has been soaked) are able to sink deep into skin.
Be sure to remove the sheet mask before it fully dries, though; when the sheet mask is dry, reverse osmosis can occur, the dry sheet mask pulling moisture from your skin instead.
Recommended product: the Shangpree Marine Jewel Hydrating Mask harnesses the power of the ocean, with sodium DN, pearl extract, and seaweed to help hydrate skin deeply.
Seal everything in with a moisturizer.
A moisturizer gives skin that extra boost of hydration and moisture, but the key thing about a moisturizer is that it contains occlusives to seal everything in, helping prevent moisture from evaporating out into the air (aka transepidermal water loss). Apply a moisturizer as the final step of your routine*, so all the hydration you just layered on in your essence and serums and ampoules can better stay in your skin, quenching that skin thirst that is dehydrated skin.
* Except in the morning! Make sure to follow up your moisturizer with your favorite sunscreen!
Recommended product: for dry skin types, the Atopalm Real Barrier Intense Moisture Cream not only delivers deep hydration, it also contains Atopalm’s MLE® Skin Barrier Formula that helps fortify the natural skin barrier and lock in moisture for up to 48 hours. For normal, combination, or oily skin, the Peach Slices Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow is a lightweight, buildable moisturizer that hydrates and absorbs quickly. Combination and oily skin will probably need just one layer, while normal skin might want to add an extra layer — just listen to what your skin needs and feel free to layer on even 2-3 layers; the Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow won’t pill.
Use a spot treatment where necessary!
You may have patches of skin that are just extra dry and dehydrated and, thus, require extra care, nourishment, and hydration. Skin, after all, even the skin on your face, isn’t going to be one-hundred-percent uniform. Use a hydrating treatment to give those dry patches the boost that they need.
Recommended product: the Peach & Lily K-beauty Rescue Balm was created to be a solve-all balm. Made with sunflower seed oil, the K-beauty Rescue Balm contains no mineral oil or petrolatum and sinks quickly into skin, hydrating from deep within. Use it on extra dry patches, and use it also on cuticles, ashy elbows, flyaway hairs, chapped lips, and anywhere else from head to toe.

Since launching our Peach & Lily Collection last year, we’ve had a hard time keeping it in stock, especially our Glass Skin Refining Serum. It’s one of your favorite products, and so many of you have told us how you’ve been repurchasing the serum, even buying more than one so you’ll never be without your Glass Skin. So many of you have always asked, “My skin literally looks like glass. How does this work?!”
Let us break it down for you!
First of all, what is glass skin?
Glass skin is skin that’s so incredibly healthy, it begins to look like a clear pane of glass: poreless, luminous, and translucent. Think super healthy baby skin before it’s been through life — it has that glassy appearance. That’s what we’re talking about.
How do you get glass skin?
You can use makeup to mimic the look, but nothing beats your skin actually looking like glass without any makeup. Is that possible, you ask? We certainly believe so, but don’t just take it from us — according to the many reviews you’ve shared about the Glass Skin Refining Serum, you’ve found it to be possible, too!
How exactly does the Glass Skin Refining Serum work?
To put it simply, our Glass Skin Refining Serum provides skin with everything it needs — hydration, nutrients, fatty acids, soothing agents, and antioxidants, among others.
Let’s start with hydration. When skin is dehydrated, it lacks moisture from within, which can make skin vulnerable to irritation, dark spots, and dullness. To help fight and prevent dehydration, the Glass Skin Refining Serum contains a complex of hyaluronic acid, a powerful water-binding agent, that drenches skin with hydration, so you never need to worry about dehydrated skin.
Fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals help nourish skin, giving skin its vibrancy and bounce. They also help prevent visible signs of premature aging. In the Glass Skin Refining Serum, you’ll find peach extract, a super luxe ingredient, that is so rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that help nourish your skin, so your skin gets all the support it needs to thrive.
Then, there are peptides, which work hard to help firm skin. When skin loses its firmness, it starts to look loose and tired, which, in turn, can make pores also appear larger. Skin, overall, starts to look tired. Peptides, however, can help revive skin and minimize the visible appearance of pores.
Those are all ways the Glass Skin Refining Serum helps nourish and hydrate skin. We didn’t just stop there, though, because we believe it’s also important to provide skin with protective and healing elements because skin takes a lot just from being out in the world every day.
When skin is irritated, sensitized, or stressed out, it’s probably not going to look clear or luminous or anything like glass skin. Instead, skin will probably be red and inflamed, in need of something soothing and healing — which is why we included madecassoside. One of the four main components of centella asiatica, a superstar ingredient also known as “cica,” madecassoside has potent wound-healing properties; according to legend, tigers would roll around in this herb to help heal their wounds.
Skin can be irritated or stressed through various factors, and a big one is free radical damage. Free radicals are unhealthy cells that are missing an electron, and these free radicals go around, trying to scavenge an electron from healthy cells, leaving a trail of damage in their wake. That’s where antioxidants come in — antioxidants help stop free radical damage by neutralizing these unhealthy cells and giving them an electron. Mountain yam extract provides a heaping serving of antioxidants to skin.
Finally, we added niacinamide to help brighten up pesky dark spots and even out skin tone to help give you the clear luminosity of glass skin!
TL;DR?
The GlassSkin Refining Serum covers all the bases of what skin needs to be at its very best — and that’s the secret to why you’ve all been finding it so effective!

My new HG cleanser. I have never been one to spend a ton of money on a cleanser. That said, I have rosacea and acne-prone skin so I figured I would give this a try. It is actually the most gentle and calming cleanser I have ever used. Brings down my redness and is super gentle. LOVE! —Wynter D., Verified Buyer
I suffer from hormonal acne and this cleanser calms by bumps and reduces the redness associated with it. I also love the fact it does not have a strong scent, very subtle. —Christine, Verified Buyer
I really like this cleanser. It’s really gentle but cleans my skin without stripping it. My two teenagers also like using this product. A big plus is that it does not smelly overly perfume like. My son appreciates that . Another plus is the packaging. Since it’s a tube we can get every last drop of product out. We will be purchasing in the future. —Brein G., Verified Buyer
I really love this toner. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be harsh or drying because of the acids but it totally isn’t! It has really helped to keep my skin balanced and clear even during hormonal times of the month. Such a great toner for everyday use — day and night. —Jean K., Verified Buyer
After a few weeks of using this, my skin is noticeably clearer and pores are smaller. I have combination skin that tends to dry out in many places while also having blackheads and whiteheads in others. I use this toner once every day or two days, depending on how my skin feels. Paired with the glass skin serum, it has really made a difference. —Kristiene G., Verified Buyer
I love this product! I am currently using a retinoid so this is a really great way to incorporate an AHA in my routine. It’s super gentle and really just gives you very mellow exfoliation. I just put it straight on my face — no cottons required! —Kate L., Verified Buyer
It’s hard to fight skepticism when we hear lots of promises about yet another product on a market. And yet we try… And I’m glad I did. This product did not disappoint and became a new addition to my skin routine. The skin does feel and look fresh and moist all day long either in conditioned indoors or during adventures outdoors. Highly recommend to all who would like to add a little boost to their appearance. —Ellada Z, Verified Buyer
I got a sample of the Wild Dew Treatment Essence. Since I got so much in that small sample and I didn’t want to waste it, I decided to just layer it on my skin. Wow!! It is sooo dewy!! It’s lightweight, NOT sticky, and very hydrating. I woke up the next morning and my face has a nice glow. I decided to purchase the bottle. I honestly love this product! I first I thought it was very pricey, but now that I’ve been using it, I honestly believe it’s worth every penny. —Peta, Verified Reviewer
The texture is really like the perfect consistency and it soaks into the skin really well, immediate hydration for sure. It leaves a slight tacky feel but you do know that it’s all the good stuff you are getting and none of those silicone and alcohol infused serums that make your skin smooth like silk, temporary. I have dehydrated, sensitive skin and this one works for me very well. —Lim C., Verified Buyer
My skin is very sensitive and acne prone and this mask is perfect! My face got brighter and smoother. My skin tone is becoming more even and my existing acne is fading away. I use it every 3 days. Usually exfoliation causes more irritation and breakouts for me, but not with this mask. I may have had a few tiny pimples after my first use but then everything calmed down before the second use. I love this product! Will definitely continue to purchase. —Suzanne E., Verified Buyer
Ever since using this mask 2x a week my skin has become noticeably more clear and refreshed. I moved to a humid climate roughly six months ago and have been struggling (to say the least) to rid myself of regular breakouts. This mask has helped do the trick. Yes, yes, yes. —Christine D., Verified Buyer
Originally tried this as part of a test group and loved my sample so much that I bought the full size. I love Korean beauty products and the resurfacing mask is no exception. It makes my skin feel smoother and tighter after every use. It tingles slightly and i don’t love the smell but the results are well worth it. —Jill D., Verified Buyer
I have been using this serum for about 3 months and my skin has never looked better! For me, it’s done a fantastic job of balancing my combination skin and keeping me hydrated. My skin looks bright and my complexion is clear – and it quickly healed breakouts from another product I had been using. I have very sensitive skin and this serum has worked wonders for me! —Maria V., Verified Buyer
I tried not to get my hopes up too high but there was so much buzz about this product. I naturally have good skin with occasional breakouts, but this product (along with the matcha moisturizer) has really taken my skin next level–nearly glass skin status in just a couple of weeks. Skin tone is very even (which I have struggled with my entire life) and texture has smoothed out as well, and that’s not something I knew I struggled with. But the serum has added natural radiance and a “thickness” to my skin–like how little kids have that bounce and collagen heavy look. Being closer to 40 than my 30s now, I’ll take it! —Roe M., Verified Buyer
I’m from Korea and have stuck to using K-beauty regimen my whole life. Up until high school, my skin was super clear. When I came to America for college, my skin went through a complete breakout and has been very slow to recover. I wanted my “glass skin” back and wanted to try this serum because the name stuck. I am always skeptical of how much a serum can impact a skin. In the end, it just feels like an additional product to help moisturize the skin. However, this serum was different. First of all, it’s perfect for the summer because it is so lightweight and gets applied to the skin giving a supple hydration without leaving a heavy residue. I also love the very subtle scent because I hate it when a product feels too heavily scented (doesn’t feel natural for me). The liquidy texture feels like the perfect touch before adding a moisturizer or a cream to finalize my skin regimen. Also, I have very sensitive, combination skin that is prone to acne with synthetic or chemical ingredients. This product did not break me out AT ALL and has been a wonderful aid to my slow recovery process. I would recommend the glass serum to someone who wants something to help balance out the moisture in their skin (a.k.a people with combination skin like me!). —Yeni C. Verified Buyer
Being combination skin I didn’t think I’d like this oil and would only use it around my eyes and neckline as I’m also in my 60’s. Wrong, I mix it into my moisturizer as well as directly on my eyes and neck. It isn’t oily at all, just leaves my skin soft, glowing and feeling great with no oily shine at all. Love it. —Carol L., Verified Buyer
I’ve been using this oil day and night and I usually only use oils at night because they tend to be heavy for me, especially since I have oily skin in the summer. However, this oil is so light weight and absorbs quickly and I haven’t had any breakouts from it. My skin is glowing and I’ve noticed my skin tone has started to even out and my hyper-pigmentation is slowly fading. I definitely would recommend this oil to anyone who may be afraid to add oil to their routine, especially those with oily skin. —Philicia, Verified Reviewer
This oil is the best oil I’ve used. It is lightweight and yet concentrated enough to soothe and hydrate my skin. I have oily skin but the oil does not add more oiliness onto it. The is the best oil I’ve purchased and will continue to use it in combination with the glass skin refining serum. —Christine H., Verified Buyer
No inflammation, perfect hydration, a little goes a long way! This is my new go-to. —Lauren B., Verified Buyer
I have a mild rosacea issue, so I’m always looking for products that won’t make the redness situation worse. To complicate things, I dislike the feeling of thick, heavy creams, which are probably the best texture for my aging skin. Matcha Pudding seems like it would fall into the thick and heavy camp, but it is deceiving. It goes on the skin like a silky dream and is quickly absorbed. Yet my skin feels plumped and hydrated all night (and day) long. Will remain faithful to this one! —Brian F., Verified Buyer
So far, I love this face cream! I have combination skin, where I have very dry spots and very oily spots (usually on my t zone) this cream is perfect for that, because it moisturizes my dry areas and doesn’t over moisturize my oily areas. Its light, yet not too light that it’s not moisturizing enough. It also makes my skin feel super soft and dewy. I highly recommend!! —Sarah G., Verified Buyer
Sometimes I just don’t want to do my whole routine. These pads cut out quite a bit of my nightly multi-step routine (which I’ll still do 3-4 days of the week) and are great to use post-workout. They’re an absolute must-have for me when I travel because I don’t want to spend a lot of time on my normal routine, let alone have to deal with checking a bag for my other products. —Rachel C., Verified Buyer
This product is amazing. I have sensitive skin that is blemish prone and large pores. I have had no problems with this product causing breakouts. My skin looks so much better being hydrated. And it’s great when your running late in the mornings. —Stacey T., Verified Buyer
True to its word! This product is great for my lazy days , but also really great for days when I’m breaking out a bit and my skin feels out of whack . When I don’t want to overpower my skin with too many products, I think this really helps to re-balance my overall tone and texture. I will definitely put this in my holy grail, top 5, must have in my skincare arsenal. —Sara Y., Verified Reviewer
I love using this to treat my dry spots – from cuticles to my hairline, they need extra attention this time of year, either from the weather or the heater indoors. It absorbs quickly and easily and doesn’t leave a gross, sticky residue you find with other moisturizers. Smell is fine. Be sure to squeeze the package to mix it up – it’s pretty oily, so it can separate. —Cat D., Verified Buyer
This rescue balm is amazing. I have very sensitive skin and most lotions will make my eczema break out all along my hands; this product healed my hands. When I received this product my knuckles were dry and cracking, and from trying different lotions to help heal my hands, I had an eczema breakout. After only 1 day of use, my knuckles were almost healed and my eczema was starting to calm down. I keep this in my purse for emergencies, because this needs to be with me at all times. Specifics about the balm: it is thick and then melts into you skin. It doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily all day. It does not have a strong scent. A little goes a long way. —Jenny, Verified Reviewer
I love this balm. I use it around my chin area, on my hands and arms when im feeling especially dry and rough. It is very heavy, almost a vaseline like texture, but so incredibly breathable- which was shocking to me! I have no concerns whatsoever about breaking out when i load it on! My favorite is to put a few layers and allow it to soak in overnight 🙂 —Josephine, Verified Reviewer

Even before I started working on our namesake collection, I knew I wanted to create products that were considered spa-grade. Spa-grade products typically have three characteristics:
Gentle formulas that can be used extensively during facials on all types of skin without worrying about potential irritation.
High efficacy, showing dramatic pay-off immediately with results you can both see right away and also over time with continued, regular use.
Sensorially delightful experience with pleasant, relaxing, natural scents and luxurious textures that calm and relax you.
Our Peach & Lily Collection does all that. It took years to perfect our formulas to get them just right, but we were able to create spa-grade products for you to bring into your own homes.
What does this mean for you?
Super gentle, toxin-free formulas. Clinically-proven ingredients with the right percentages and the right pH levels. Decadent textures.
When we launched our collection, I had the privilege to give facials to content creators, editors, and celebrities who entrusted me with their skin, exclusively using our line. I wanted to share the results of a few of these facials, plus two testimonials from influencers themselves!
Here are also a few testimonials from some of the top beauty writers and beauty gurus in the industry.
“This is like a miracle. Zero redness. I love this, my face always looks red, but my skin looks so good, I can’t believe it. I’m so excited to go to the office and start my day with my skin looking so radiant and calm. I also love that it’s a serious dose of hydration without leaving any filminess on the surface.” —Kaitlyn McLintock, Beauty Writer, Byrdie Beauty
“Post facial with the Peach & Lily products, my skin looked lifted, rejuvenated and energized and no longer tired!” —Kirbie Johnson, Beauty Reporter, Popsugar
“Love the texture and sheen of skin — not matte or oily, but dewy and hydrated. I have rosacea, and my skin is noticeably less red. And skin looks and feels so firm!” —Kelly Atterton, Beauty Director, C Magazine
“Looks and feels so good, everything sinks in so easily!” —Lexy Lesback, Senior Editor, Refinery 29
“I had a facial at 13 and it broke me out, so I’ve been scared to get facials. But honestly, just wow. My skin looks reborn. So polished, clean but so so gentle. It looks like highlighter on my face, but just radiance. It’s like magic!” —Madina Shrienzada, Influencer and Beauty Guru
“How did you do this?! It’s less bumpier in the stubborn problem areas!” —Sara Tan, Beauty Editor, Bustle
“I’m blown away by the products. My skin is so calm. I’ve never had a facial where after this I love how I look right afterwards.” —Hayley Kassel, Celebrity Makeup Artist
“I am completely smitten with this nutrient-packed line. Believe me, I want glass skin — these are the comprehensive ingredients that will get me there. I feel like my skin just drank a superfood smoothie!” —Jessica Ourisman, Beauty Writer

It was such a privilege to give these facials, and, if I could, I would spend most of my waking hours giving facials — it’s one of my favorite things to do, caring for skin personally. I wish I could give every single one of you a facial, but, because I can’t, I’ll make sure to share the best facial tips and massages over social media! We also posted a guide to how I give myself a facial massage over on Pibuu, our skincare resource blog, to give you a place to start!
