Recycling
Instructions:
- Place outer carton into paper recycling.
- Rinse the glass bottle thoroughly, and recycle.
- Unfortunately pumps cannot be recycled at this time due to their many mixed parts. That's why Herbivore is moving to pumps that contain post-consumer recycled materials. Please dispose of them properly.
As an ultra-clean, plant-based brand, we make our products, source ingredients, and design packaging to be gentle on the planet and on our bodies. We package primarily in glass and paper, using recyclable plastic only where absolutely necessary. Always trying to reduce our footprint further, we are looking into ways to reduce and 100% eliminate all virgin plastic from our packaging by 2025.

I guess I irritated my skin, not sure how exactly but my best guess is I zoned out a bit while using a face scrub. I'm a regular gentle retinol user but I suspect that with the over exfoliation my skin couldn't handle it and when I woke up the next day my face was itchy and red and uncomfortable. I ran to the store praying they had this in stock (I've always wanted to try an Herbivore product and had seen this just a few days prior). Holy Taylor Swift! I'm not even kidding, it instantaneously soothed my skin. AND, my skin felt amazing. Buttery baby butt soft like nothing else had ever done to my skin before. Every time I put it on I can barely stop myself from repeatedly sliding my fingers down my cheeks. My skin just feels so amazing. While I've also done a couple other things to help repair the irritation I firmly believe this stuff is magic. I will never not have a bottle of this on hand. This is forever a staple in my routine. The experience has actually inspired me to start skincare vlogging. Thank you Herbivore!

Absolutely, no joke. Doesn’t pill and feels so nice! My cheeks and red nose are finally tamed! My only issue is I wish the container had more. Seems to not last as long as other serums. But it does work like a charm. So I guess I gotta stock up!

I use this Green Magic serum after being in the sun or wind too long, or when my skin just feels like it needs a break from the AHA type products I sometimes use.
It is soothing and leaves my skin feeling calm, moisturized, and comfortable. Visibly it reduces most of the redness from irritation and minor rosacea.
I will be sure to have this serum on hand.

Simply put, this serum works by instantly reducing and eliminating redness. My never ending search for a product that reduces redness on my extremely sensitive skin has finally come to an end with this product. Thank you, Herbivore, for your emphasis on using alll natural ingredients in your products. I can’t wait to order your new moisturizer, Tremella.

I get a lot of redness on my cheeks sometimes, and use to have discoloration, redness after a pimple (although I barely break out anymore since using Herbivore products. And if I do, it’s small) I sometimes use this as a spot treatment, or use it all over my face and the redness clears sometimes within 30 mins or literally overnight. All the red marks I had from pimples are GONE. My skin tone is even and glowing!!! I will never stop using Herbivore, their products have literally saved my skin.
