    Aaaaaaamazing 💜

    I absolutely LOVE this product all year, but even more during the winter months. I usually apply it at night, and the next morning my skin always feels so healthy and nourished! The texture is gorgeous and makes me feel like I’m at a spa 💜

    love it

    I can't compare it to retinol, as I haven't ever really used that. But I can say that this is the only product I've ever tried that has made a noticeable difference in the texture of my skin AND the fine lines around my eyes. I've bought $80 eye creams that didn't do half of what this has done. Absolutely keeping this in my regular routine!

    Great natural alternative

    I’m so glad I discovered this product! I’ve been looking for natural serums that are similar to retinol since retinol makes my skin sensitive. These do not and I’ve noticed my skin feels hydrated without irritation or redness throughout the day. Item was gifted by Herbivore Botanicals for honest review.

    Save for pregnancy & breastfeeding!

    I bought prism to help get rid of the melasma I got while pregnant, but then found out you can’t use retinol productsif you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Lo and behold they rolled this product out as soon as I needed it, and it WORKS. Thank you herbivore!

    Skin is bouncy and I swear my fine lines are reduced!

    Love this serum! It is light and lovely and causes no irritation or sensitivity! Please don't ever change the formula--like don't add anything! I've searched everywhere for a serum like this with bakuchiol that doesn't irritate my skin (sodium hylauronate is THE WORST offender, please don't ever put it in this serum :)), and this is perfect. Thanks Herbivore!!
