Lovely Staff, Lovely Products
The first thing I want to say is how absolutely lovely the team is at Garden of Wisdom! Everyone has been so helpful, friendly, and informative, responsive to any questions I’ve had. The products are amazing, thoughtful, high quality, and all at an honest price. I’m absolutely loving the oils and CO2’s that I ordered recently, and plan to continue shopping with Garden of Wisdom! Much love to the team! ♥

I wanted to reach out to tell you how absolutely AMAZING your products are! I have seen a SIGNIFICANT improvement in my skin since starting with the GOW products 2 weeks ago. I am shocked in the best way possible! I cannot thank you enough for your time, guidance and expertise. I plan to write a more thorough review on your website after a month or so as well. 😊

You both are the greatest! My entire family of reactive, eczema, neurogenic rosacea, acne, and psoriasis-suffering profiles have literally NEVER been so comfortable in their own skin. (Jen, oat beta glucans, and a host of fabulous GoW goodies to the rescue!)

Your Company is the best! Your Employees are the Best! Your advice is the Best! I most often speak with Jen, and I have never run into any problem with a bad reaction from one of your ingredients recommended to me. I am never rushed past a more complicated question.....I always get an answer....THAT WORKS!
Jennifer G.
thank you for having such good work ethic. It is really so cool what you all do.

Btw, just wanted to say it’s great to see a successful company based out of Arizona. I’m in San Diego now but from Tempe originally. Happy when I see good things coming from Arizona!

"Hi Beautiful GOW Team!
I just wanted to write to say I got in my duplicate order today and she is PERFECT!!
I wasn’t kidding when I said this is going to be my staple for life and I look forward to ordering more of it very very soon! I gave my mom one bottle and something tells me I won’t be able to keep my sisters hands off the other bottle. Just want to express my genuine gratitude for you all. I am one happy gal today!!"

"Good news is that my skin is doing really well! Feels a lot healthier - barrier feels restored - and my redness and PD has minimized substantially. I'm gonna keep sticking with our current regimen. If there's anything that comes to mind that would be a gentle glow-up to add into my routine, I'm all ears. I see these women who get chemical peels and how glowy their skin is. I'd really like to have something subtle like that in a way that is suited for my skin type.
I'm loving the prickly seed oil!! Thank you for that rec. It's working great in my routine. I'm also able to wear the Pratima sunscreen with no issues these days. Yay!!
Ps, I recommend GOW to all my friends :)"
Lanie M.
"Hope you’re doing fabulous! I’ve still been using my GOW products and loving every minute."

"Happy New Year, Markey, Jen and everyone! You guys are so special and I am grateful a friend introduced me to you all many years ago. Being able to reach out this past year - while I was pregnant for the first time and then dealing with postpartum funkiness - was so helpful. I felt supported and cared for in a way that no other skincare company would ever be able to do.
And! All of the recommendations that Jen made have been very helpful. Ill be 39 this year and my skin is feeling better than ever. So please know that your hard days and hard work are having a positive impact on us ... I know I can't be the only one.
Love you guys! Thank you for everything you do! Xx"

"Happy New Year! Thank you for Garden of Wisdom, I have found it to be a
wonderful source of quality ingredients for my personal skin- and hair-care over the years. I hope 2026 will be a better one for all of us."

“I wanted to tell you that my skin is looking a lot better. I’ve stayed consistent with the routine and I’m not having the itch rash breakouts on my forehead and temples anymore. I’m using the soap free cleanser in the morning and the Micellar dew at night to remove makeup... I’m using the oat enriched serum first then the banana healing serum with three drops of prickly pear oil, and then I follow with the emulsion as the last step. So far so good!”

"I absolutely LOVE the Garden of Wisdom skincare line. As with most women, I have spent decades trying so many products, I have lost count. Many of which were toxic and it seems further compounded the issues. I have long hoped to find a minimalist skincare line grounded in nature and science. Jen's knowledge and care is bar to none - she has not only spent significant time reviewing my current products to help me understand problematic ingredients but she also has helped educate me on the broader contributing factors to my skin conditions. I am happy to say that the GOW products have made a big difference in a short amount of time. My skin feels calmer, smoother, and generally less reactive. I'm so happy I found GOW!"

“Gratitude to Garden of Wisdom!
The dedicated team at GOW have collaborated with me to develop a skin care routine that works to include a custom blended facial cleanser and moisture products for mature skin. I use the Rosacea Serum along with the Renew and Defend Elixir and Rose Stem Cell Peptide daily. I no longer use prescription creams to manage my rosacea! Their responsiveness to my many questions and attentive care to orders proves the integrity of this small family run business. These people put their heart into sourcing natural ingredients and creating formulas that are gentle and effective. I feel great about supporting this business!”
Liz L.
"A month in and my skin is LOVING these products. I did not think it would be happy only being cleansed with micellar water but it really is. I have also been loving the prickly pear seed oil for a moisturizer, and I've been experimenting with the other serums to see what combos I like. I also love the tonic spray."
Heidi H.
"It’s a wonderful thing to find people in this world that really put their heart into what they do for others. That is what you all do every single day! Every interaction I’ve had with your company has been exceptional!!! Even how you pack and seal all the little bottles into bags—then some have the extra outer bubble-wrapped bags. Absolute perfection! I always feel cared for when I receive your packages. Indeed, those details do make all the difference! Oh, and the sweet little hearts on the receipts!"
Love this new formula with the frankincense so much that I had to get the larger size! I've been using hyaluronic acid plus squalane oil as a moisturizer because I couldn't find a moisturizer that didn't irritate my face or make it drier. I like that this balm has a few simple amazing ingredients with no added fragrance or preservatives. It doesn't irritate my skin or flare up my rosacea. This is the only moisturizer that has actually provided hydration for my skin. I use a small dab at night so the product lasts for many months and leaves my skin with a healthy glow.
Hi Teresa, your review truly makes us smile. I always read reviews out loud and I know the staff here is very proud of their work. Knowing this facial balm works so well for your skin is awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being a loyal customer.
Wishing you continued glowing skin!

Thanakha Blemish Clearing Tonic
Sarah Dawson
Such a lovely oil!
Such a lovely oil!
It glides on so smoothly, feels like a substantial oil without leaving me greasy, and I love that it has a mild color so I can put it on directly. I live in the Southwest so it’s so fun to use the oil from a plant that I see around me all the time! Thank you Garden of Wisdom for being the oasis in the desert and delivering such wonderful products!
Prickly Pear Seed Oil - The Secret to Timeless Radiance
Karissa Michitsch
the product that gave me my skin back!
if i could give this serum more than five stars, i would.
i developed rosacea out of nowhere after never really having skin issues before. suddenly my skin was red, bumpy, dry, dehydrated and unbelievably reactive. i tried so many products that were marketed as natural, sensitive-skin friendly or rosacea-safe, and NOTHING worked. every new product seemed to give me a brand-new version of a reaction.
then i had a consultation with jennifer. garden of wisdom offers consultations for new customers, and i cannot recommend doing one enough. jennifer was incredible. she helped me put together a very simple routine using this serum, their soap free cleanser, aloe as a toner and evening primrose oil. she also talked to me about supporting my skin internally, which i really appreciated. it felt like she was looking at the bigger picture instead of just trying to sell me another topical product.
more than that, she was kind, supportive and genuinely gave me hope during a time when i was feeling incredibly discouraged about my skin.
and boy did she deliver.
i used the cleanser and oat enriched facial serum and woke up the NEXT MORNING with skin that felt smooth, calm and unreactive. i genuinely could not believe it.
and it wasn't a fluke. over time, everything improved - the redness, the little bumps and texture, the dryness, the hydration, the flushing, the way my skin responded to heat, and even how quickly it recovered when something did make it reactive. my skin didn't just look better. it started to feel healthier, stronger and more resilient.
the serum itself feels like a pretty normal serum on the skin. i will warn you that it has an interesting smell, but you get over that very quickly once you realize how magical the stuff inside the bottle is. most importantly, it has never - literally NEVER - irritated my skin. no burning, stinging, redness, bumps or mystery reaction of the week.
i've now been using it for almost three months, and the difference in my skin is enormous. instead of constantly reacting to something new, my skin just kept getting healthier.
the craziest part is that at this point, i pretty much forget that i even have rosacea. when i think back to how reactive, uncomfortable and unpredictable my skin felt just a few months ago, i can't believe i'm saying that.
after months of feeling like my own face had suddenly become something i couldn't understand or control, garden of wisdom gave me my skin back.
i never want to be without this serum. ever.
Oat Enriched Facial Serum
Karissa Michitsch
simple, gentle, and somehow life-changing!
i developed rosacea seemingly out of nowhere after having basically no skin issues my entire life. suddenly i had redness, bumps and texture, dryness, a completely compromised skin barrier, and it felt like EVERYTHING i put on my face caused some new version of a reaction. i had already used natural/holistic skincare for years, and even products marketed as "sensitive" or "rosacea-safe" were not working for me.
then i found garden of wisdom.
this cleanser is definitely a different experience from a traditional face wash (read the directions!) but i got used to that almost immediately. and honestly, i would wash my face standing on my head at this point if that's what it took to keep my skin this happy.
my skin has never once reacted to it. it feels completely calm, clean and refreshed afterward, but NEVER stripped or tight, which was especially impressive considering what a disaster my skin barrier was when i started using it.
i began using this cleanser at the same time as the oat enriched facial serum, so i can't honestly tell you which product deserves more credit. what i can say is that my skin changed almost literally overnight. i woke up with smoother, calmer, more hydrated skin, and over the weeks that followed my redness, texture, hydration and overall skin health continued to improve. i kept waiting for the other shoe to drop because it genuinely felt too good to be true. it never did.
i've now been using this for almost three months, and the change is kind of unbelievable. at this point, i pretty much forget that i even have rosacea. considering how much my skin was affecting my day-to-day life when this first started, that feels enormous.
i truly believe that replacing everything that may have been irritating or inciting my skin with something this gentle played a huge role in allowing my skin to calm down and become so much more resilient.
if you wear makeup, i would pair it with garden of wisdom's micellar water, which i also love.
finding a cleanser that thoroughly cleans reactive, rosacea-prone skin without making it even remotely angry should not feel this miraculous, but after everything i tried before this, it absolutely does.
Soothing Cleansing Gel 100% Soap Free

The best!
I got this product last week but finally used it last night. I woke up this morning so delighted that I had to rush to leave a review. This is from someone who barely leaves reviews. I’ve always been texture and hyperpigmentation prone as a person of color. I recently started using tretinoin but even the 0.025% makes my skin flaky and irritates my skin barrier all the time. So I started looking for a gentler retinol option but every product I found had ingredients that will either clog my pores or not work at all till I finally found GOW. I was immediately attracted to the simple ingredients list. I was a bit worried about my skin barrier so last night, I used a moisturizer as a buffer before applying the serum. I woke up to see a radiant skin with my pores looking visibly clearer. This product will forever be a staple in my routine! This and the clear,brighten and prevent serum! Please never discontinue this product.

Little bottle
Little bottle. Big results.
This stuff is the bomb! It showed results the very next day. My blemish was much smaller on day 2 and gone on day 3. Used it am and pm. Just a very tiny dab.
