Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

I am a (roughly) 40 year old who still gets hormonal acne, and the over the counter acne stuff I used to rely on is now WAY too harsh for my aging skin. This stuff works wonders. It often takes care of blemishes with just one application over night. For really stubborn stuff, I might need a few applications, but it rarely ever develops into a giant, long lasting blemish. I love this stuff.

Great for my Cysts
I adore this truly Majik gel. When I feel one of those nasty cysts rearing it's ugly head, the tiniest dab obliterates it overnight. For me, it is drying if I try to just glob it on--less is more, maybe counterintuitively like a lot of things with acne (more scrubbing just makes it worse, harsher products too!). For that reason, one tiny bottle lasts for ages. I'm still on the same one from last fall!
This is underrated yet very effective product! Thank you for the review :)

Less acne and less drama!
If the cats got acne, they would use it too. It would probably work on them! It's really magic, I wish I had it when I was a teenager, I wouldn't have damaged my skin with benzoyl peroxide. The tween in our house uses it every day. Thank goodness for this product!! Much less drama in our house thanks to GOW.
Thank you Tracy! This was one of our original (and still) most popular acne serums!

Give this a try!
I have been using the Anti-blemish gel ... for two days. It really does work (I have used everything from store and derm). I was in a foul mood and took it out on my skin....PICKED!!!! I have very strange skin and almost never pick. If I pick at a blackhead or small clogged pore, there is a %90 chance it will turn into a huge lump that takes about two weeks to go away. I stupidly picked about 5 spots!!! Plus, a real cyst appeared on my chin. I get the type of cysts that never form a head and take a few weeks to go away.
I used just a small amount of product, twice a day on clean skin. The picked spots were %85 clear by morning and the real cyst actually formed a head and is almost gone. I carried on w/ my normal routine after applying the Gel.
B/c you use such a small amount, the bottle should last forever. The gel is like a thick Ha w/o a smell (I couldn't smell anything). It seemed gentle, it didn't burn or cause my skin to peel. I highly recommend trying this out.

I have suffered from all forms of rosacea and have improved dramatically since using this and other clean and simple GOW products. I feel that the manuka honey serum is an essential base to the layering of serums I do.

Good for emerging blemishes
I like this stuff! My blemishes are usually just tiny irritated white heads or bumps with nothing in them. If I put this on at night, things are much calmer in the morning. It even seems to have a minimizing effect on the few deep painful cystic guys I get, so they end up fading away rather than coming to the surface full of rage. And so far I haven't had any irritation (and I have very sensitive skin). I put this on after my last oil stage, after things have dried down a bit. I feel like that works best since I use it as a spot treatment, and putting it on under other stuff seems like it would just spread it around.

This is the best one!
This is the best one! My skin is sensitive to unusual things and the leucidal hyaluronic acid serums don't give me any issue. I prefer the honey to the regular because it helps my acne. I had to order the regular/pure HA serum last time and I definitely noticed breakouts lasting longer. Honey comb is the way to go!

Gentle non irritating niacinimide serum
Gentle, non irritating niacinimide serum. Another wonderful light and layerable product from GoW. I like how this serum plays well with my other products and it’s not sticky. This has been very helpful for my stepson’s oily teenage skin as well. Thank you!

It's really hard to find a fungal acne-safe body lotion! This lotion is light, and it's not instantly transformative, but over the past month or so I think it has helped the dry patches on my elbows and knees. I wish it was a tad richer, but I don't know if that's possible while also keeping it FA-safe. So I'll probably keep it in my routine!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review, Caroline! -`♡´- We’re glad you’re beginning to see improvement in those stubborn dry areas. We also truly appreciate your feedback about wanting a little more richness while keeping the formula fungal acne-friendly. That balance can be tricky, but your input is incredibly helpful to us!

Hi Laura ♡♡♡
This is so interesting and clever! We love hearing how our customers put their ingredients to work! Knowing the Cetyl Alcohol has been the answer for smoothing and softening your dry, flyaway hair is inspiring. Keep up with the great ideas. Since your mixture contains water, we recommend making only a tiny amount at a time and using it fresh.

Thank you so much! Our Bakuchiol Body Bliss Body Oil ... “Luxurious” is exactly how we want your skin to feel. We’re thrilled it has become such a favorite!

this seems like a very good product, but may be wrong for my skin type. i have rosacea and eczema, and mostly oily skin. i was hoping to find a product that would improve my heavily congested nose and chin without making all the red patches on my cheeks and eye area worse. i tried the product as both a toner and a facial spray, but found it slowly dried out my cheeks and made them redder. so now am am just applying only to my nose and cheeks, and it seems to be helping now, in conjunction with the oat serum. the product has the consistency of a typical toner, and it is scentless. it does not sting or burn when sprayed on, even in the eye area. it feels neither drying nor hydrating, and does not leave you looking greasy.
Hi Donna ♡
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Wild Black Cherry Bark Hydrosol. I'm glad to hear it's helping when used selectively.
We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope it continues to support your skin needs.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance!
Thought: you could add about 2-3% glycerin to amp up the hydration.
