Restore balance to irritated, inflamed, or overworked skin with our Repair and Recovery Facial Mist Botanical Relief for Stressed, Sensitive Skin is a calming facial mist made from potent herbal infusions and soothing botanicals. Designed specifically for sensitive skin and those prone to redness, itchiness, or inflammation, this gentle formula promotes deep hydration, helps repair the skin barrier, and provides relief from discomfort.
At the heart of this soothing mist is Lemon Balm Hydrosol, an antioxidant-rich hydrosol known for its cooling, calming, and relaxing effects on the skin. A restorative blend of herbal teas, including Calendula, Marshmallow Root, Arnica Blossom, Meadowsweet Blossom, Plantain Leaf, and Chickweed, delivers anti-inflammatory, healing, and anti-itch benefits while forming a lightweight, breathable film to protect the skin barrier. Infused with Marrubium Extract, a powerful botanical active that helps reduce redness and irritation, and enriched with Larch Tree Extract for antioxidant and water-binding support, this elixir replenishes and soothes without clogging pores. Gum Arabic provides a light, natural thickening effect, while Leucidal SF, a probiotic-based preservative, keeps this formula safe and friendly to the microbiome. Whether you're treating sun-exposed skin, post-treatment irritation, or general sensitivity flare-ups, this botanical recovery serum is your daily go-to for comfort, hydration, and healing.
Method of Application Use this facial mist as needed to soothe and heal the affected area. Use as needed for maintenance.
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 love this serum. It has helped my skin whenever it got irritated. I tried “Oh No! What did I do to my skin?” serum and I want to say I liked the consistency of that one more, but for those looking for a lighter serum, “Repair and Recovery” would be perfect.
We are so happy this serum is being loved by you! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your review! :)

miracle product for irritated skin
This serum has become my favorite product in a long time! My skin is extremely sensitive and prone to breakouts which means Im always looking for products that will reduce redness and inflammation. Well this serum is incredible for just that! I will be ordering the largest size asap.
One of our favorite products to recommend for our sensitive skin customers!

Highly recommend!
Very soothing and great for my sensitive, and at times dehydrated, rosacea skin. I use it everyday mixed with Ramosu snail filtrate (after cleanser and P50W). Mix them in my palm and apply to face/neck/chest then spray with a hydrosol and let absorb for 5 minutes. Have fallen asleep a few times at this point in my skincare routine - and not applied serums and moisturizer like usual - and have been surprised at how well my skin was in the morning. My only complaints are the price and the container. It is very expensive and I count the drops carefully to make sure i don't use more than I need . The container is prone to leaking (which makes it more expensive if you lose product) and you have to concentrate when pressure is needed to release drops, because just a tad too much results in a stream.
We appreciate this review :)
Also wanted to mention we do have our own snail filtrate product (Es-Care-Go Serum if you haven't tried, its worth a sample!
Lastly wanted to say if you find yourself using larger amounts of this we do offer discounts on bigger sizes :) Just email us!
Thank you for taking the time to review :)

Soothing Serum
This stuff has made a huge difference in the redness and irritation on my face. I did have a small adjustment period with this but I believe that may be because I started it at the same time as other products while I was trying to move away from soap based cleansers. Once my face adjusted to everything, I realized how much this serum was helping my face. I had to stop everything temporarily while dealing with an unrelated eye issue and man did I miss it. My face feels so good after using this and it really does reduce redness due to sensitive skin from health issues. I usually apply this after spraying with the Calm and Hydrate mist.
So glad you are loving this! One of our favorites to recommend for sensitive skin.
I love this ReNew Cream!
It has been my favorite go to for years. It is one of the few products that doesn't irritate my skin. It hydrates and makes my skin feel so much better. I can't wait for it to be in stock again!
Thank you to all of the amazing people at GOW!

This is a great product
This is a great product. My hair is 3 feet long and was recently destroyed when negligent doctors soaked my hair in saline solution for 4 long hours during my surgery which caused all my hair to break off. I'm devastated. I've been using this product because the ingredients are so good particularly the pea sprout peptide. I believe it's helping with the damage my hair sustainedy

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 !

The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine
The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine. I only realized how effective it was when I couldn’t find it for a while—during that time, my skin really struggled. I even tried another serum with a similar formula, but it just didn’t deliver the same results. Now that I’ve found this serum again, I’m beyond happy! My skin is already showing great improvement. It keeps my acne under control and tackles my stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) better than anything else I’ve tried. This product is definitely a keeper!

Wonderful product
This is another favorite! Didn't think product was doing much until my husband mentioned that my face looked smoother and more even. He also has started using it now and has gotten many compliments. Doesn't burn or sting like ascorbic acid. I use 3-4 times a week at night only and love that it contains squalane because it gives me a little extra moisture.
