Full Unicorn may be my favorite natural skincare line in a long time, and that has nothing to do with the fact that this brand’s name includes my favorite mythical creature (though that is pretty cool). It is a fairly new brand and kindly sent me their Radiant Facial Set to try. At first I was excited because of the name, but as soon as I tried it I was in love with how effective these formulas are. I’m seriously impressed!
This trio makes for a truly magical skincare experience. These are cruelty-free, Earth based (plus glitter), and vegan.
Clear as Mud, AHA + Activated Charcoal Cleanser
Gemstone, Resurfacing Treatment
Liquid Gold, Phyto Finishing Oil
The Clear As Mud AHA + Activated Charcoal Cleanser is AWESOME. It includes activated charcoal which helps to pull toxins and debris from pores, and balance oil and hydration. It works unbelievably well. It also includes organic sugar cane extract AHA’s to improve cellular turn over, reduce blemishes, and increase smoothness, along with bergamot, geranium, and aloe vera. It is one of my favorite cleansers of all time for combination skin.
Liquid Gold Phyto Finishing Oil smells wonderful (thanks to the lavender, tangerine, and grapefruit essential oils) and has a light-weight silky formula. Just 4-5 drops will moisturize the entire face. A blend of jojoba esther, argon, sea buckthorn, Vitamin C, and Rosehip provide a dose of soothing hydration.
The Gemstone Resurfacing Treatment was the one I was most apprehensive about to be honest. I mean, it has glitter in it! Which looks gorgeous, but thought, can this really work? I was pleasantly surprised. It contains papaya and pineapple enzymes to gently slough away dead skin cells for a bright, glowing complexion. It also includes Aluminum Oxide Crystals create antiseptic micro tears that build collagen for a firmer more resilient appearance. These are what predominantly give it its rough texture, so you do have to apply it gently to let it do it’s job without over pressing into your skin. There are multifruit AHA’s to even complexion and skin tone and reduce fine lines and wrinkles and Hyaluronic draws moisture in to the skin, and help build elasticity / smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. I find it to be a great once-per-week exfoliant despite not typically reaching for exfoliants with this much texture.
I would highly recommend Full Unicorn. I’ve tried so many natural skincare lines over the years and so the fact that I’m so impressed with these does say a lot. And, you can never go wrong with a touch of glitter 😉 Fuel your inner unicorn (and your skin) with this set!
