Garden of Wisdom's Cherry Healing Serum . . . This refreshing skin elixir delivers powerful antioxidant support and deep hydration in a lightweight, soothing formula. Infused with sour cherry distillate and orchid root extract, it helps calm and replenish the skin while promoting a radiant, even-toned complexion. Glutathione and L-carnosine work synergistically to defend against oxidative stress and support skin resilience, while hyaluronic acid provides lasting moisture. Naturally preserved with Leucidal SF and AMTicide Coconut, this gentle formula is ideal for daily use, leaving your skin soft, dewy, and protected.
*This serum has a very strong smell due to the healing ingredient glutathione! Don't let this dissuade you from the healing nature of this ingredient.
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.
Spring Water hydrating Cherry Distillate hydrating, wonderful, natural scent Glutathione healing, encourages healthy cell development it is the major anti-oxidant produced by the body. Your body cannot make antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and could not work properly without glutathione. ^Our immune systems depend on a steady supply of glutathione. Without it, our immune defenses become weakened. It is important in detoxifying many substances, including heavy metals, breakdown products of cigarettes and automobile exhaust, many cancer-causing agents, and a multitude of pollutants and toxins we encounter daily. The major energy source produced in our cells is derived from tiny structures called mitochondria. These mitochondria would burn up without the presence of glutathione.

Healing cherry for my skin
I decided to try this product out because my skin gets extra irritated in the summer. My sensitive skin had no adverse reaction to it. The texture is lovely and glides onto the skin beautifully. I've noticed a reduction in irritation after using this product in combination with a couple others. I know the note says the serum has a very strong smell, but I didn't find it to be overpowering.

Fresh, soft feel
I've tried a few different serums for different purposes, but I found that this cherry serum felt the best on my rosacea (type 2) skin. It doesn't leave a drying feeling afterwards (though I always follow up with a few drops of the prickly pear oil anyway), and it really has a healing and soothing effect on my skin almost immediately! Feels fresh and soft :) Thanks to GOW's skin consultant Jen, I am happy to have found this product!
So glad to hear this is working for you :) Thank you!

Great for sensitive skin
I started using this serum recently after reading some reviews and looking at the ingredients. I am not disappointed. This product helps moisterize, calm, plump, and make my skin look dewy. Similar in ways to the Butterfly Peptide product that GOW sells, this helps calm and lessen redness in my reactive, mature skin. I use it after cleansing while my skin in still moist. Let sit a minute, then I add facial oil. It blends together beautifully and helps my skin look great.
Thank you so much! This is one of our favorite calming serums :)

So soothing!
The cherry healing serum is another staple in my daily GOW routine. It is so soothing and healing and feels great on my skin. Sometimes it smells like glutathione but I got used to it and even like it now, and most of the time it just smells faintly like the cherry distillate, which I love! I have used this serum on bad sunburns, too, and it took the burn down a couple notches and healed it fast!
Thank you for taking the time to share about this serum! It is worth it! :)
This cream is so healing to my skin. I have a sensitivity to citrus products and get a terrible rash and my face will itch. This is the only product that calms my skin.I apply this and within a few hours the rash has diminished and the itchiness is gone. The Calendula Blossom Cream has saved my skin.

Magic in a bottle!
This product has become a required staple in my skincare routine. I use it everyday on my very sensitive skin that is prone to redness and dryness. Not only is it extremely calming and soothing, but it also makes my skin look more plump and moisturized. I never want to be without this product; it has shot to the top of my "best skincare products of all time" list, next to the gentle cleansing gel. I highly recommend trying this if you have sensitive or aging skin that needs a boost of rejuvenation.

Great to have on hand if you use a lot of actives!
Sometimes, you just need a great soothing moisturizer, and this one is my new favorite! I recently graduated from using retinol to tretinoin and whoaaaaa boy. All my other creams had actives that were only making the tret burn worse. This was perfect for helping soothe my skin, and now I use it to buffer the tret!

Calming and refreshing
Calming and refreshing. I love spritzing this hydrosol after my cleansing routine or midday. My skin loves both this and the rose hydrosol. The scents are also very lovely.

I adore a good lavender scented product! A natural botanical even more! I use this spritzer as a bottom layer to smooth and evenly distribute some of my other outstanding GOW products. It’s a great starter and makes me smile in the mornings.

Love everything!
Every single product is top tier with clean ingredients! Definitely my favorite skincare company right now!
Love this! Works for my skin & allergic reactions! 😊
Yayyyyy, thank you for sharing this!
Not having any allergic reactions to a product is such a blessing.
Let us know how things go after a couple of months.
I find this product to be very beneficial for my aging skin as well.

I finally got around to using this. I decided that it did not meld well with the collective butters and oils I used. I ended up adding rose and mimosa wax to cover it up!
Rae Lynn,
We are sorry this happened. • ᴖ •
The name is deceiving. Although it is genuinely from the carnation flower, it doesn't
smell like a carnation. It has lovely properties, though.
We do hope the final formula has worked for you.
Your team from GoW.
I got this to harden a lotion bar recipe. It did the trick. I may have used a bit too much, though! I think I will back off to 1 oz next time.
Hi Rae Lynn
Good for you! I can't even share the length of time it took to create skin care products, or how hard those waxes were to work with. They still are at times.
Please keep in touch if you have any questions.
We are always here to help.

I finally got around to using this. It smells good.
