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.

This does something to my skin that I cannot find anywhere else, including in tretinoin. It makes my skin look younger and truly alive, makes my pores look smaller.
I’m 32 and at this point, I generally have pretty dull skin. I miss having the glow and texture I did in my early 20s. This brings it back somehow.
The product texture is also so nice and absorbs fully and quickly.
Kourtney, thank you for such a heartfelt and thoughtful review!
We're truly honored that the Apple Stem Cell Elixir has become a favorite in your skincare routine.

Your appreciation of the texture and absorption also means a lot! We put care into every detail to ensure it feels luxurious, absorbs and IS effective.

Hyaluronic Acid FREE
This is a great serum. Apple stem cells are one of the best age defying ingredients and protectors to the skin. Also this formula is hyaluronic acid free and I have found no other Swiss apple serums on the market without this ingredient. Some people cannot tolerate HA and this serum will give you the benefits of Swiss apple stem cells without the potential of irritation. So if you have a sensitivity to Hyaluronic acid or reactive skin I would only recommend GOW apple stem cell serum.
Thank you for this review! :)
NOTE from us: Hyaluronic Acid is not an exfoliating acid like other acids. It is hydrating. However for those with a Hyaluronic Acid sensitivity, this is a good choice :)

Hydrating and gentle
I was looking for a serum with peptides and no hyaluronic acid for the change of weather. I bought the sample size and will be buying the full size as soon as it runs out! It’s moisturizing and light, I also don’t notice any smell. After cleansing (skin friendly cleanser) and spritzing rose water on my face, I add this serum then follow with a moisturizer and my skin feels soft and my dry patches are soothed throughout the day.
We're so glad you are loving this!

Use it on my undereyes
I use this serum on the delicate and sensitive under eye skin per Jen's recommendation. It feels so nice, and I find that it actually brightens and fortifies the skin under my eyes. Other under eye creams I've used in the past were either too thick or left small irritated/dry/red patches. A little goes a long way too, which is a bonus! Will keep repurchasing.
Really glad you are liking this product!

Love this serum
I was looking for a serum with peptides and the ever so helpful Jen recommended this serum. I love using this for anti aging.
Literally the only one I've ever used and I've searched for 30 yrs. Just the best!

Works on Melasma!
Nothing has worked so far on my Melasma as well as this. My skin has a glow that it doesn't have when I'm not using. And it's keeping acne at bay. There's a noticeable difference when I don't use this. Don't want to go without.

great for removing thick sunscreen
This micellar water is the best! I am in the ocean a lot and so wear thick mineral waterproof sunscreen. In the past, trying to get it all off so that my skin didn't break out was always a challenge because the foaming cleansers would dry out my skin. That is why this is a life saver. As another review mentioned, I shake the bottle, pour about a teaspoon or so in my palm and smooth over my face and neck. You can literally see the sunscreen (or make up) melt off. I rinse and then cleanse one more time with the gentle cleansing gel (another winner IMO). My skin is clean but not dry! I love the sensitive formula. Thank you GOW for making such amazing products!

If I could only use one skincare brand for the rest of my life.
It would truly be garden of wisdom. I started using GOW about 8 or 9 years ago and have never looked back. I haven’t been disappointed by a single product, and I have tried soo many and would bathe in them all daily if I could. several have become staples in my routine, which is about 75% gow products now. The education they provide is genuinely game changing. You not only understand what you’re using and why, but the results are noticeably better than any other store brand skincare I’ve tried.
The company itself is lovely. It’s built on education, research, and experience, not marketing, trends, fake reviews, or the deceptive tactics most skincare brands rely on. Their success comes from a real commitment to honestly informing and educating their community while making truly amazing skincare. Thank you🤍

Shrinks those bags!
I use this when I’m going out for something special I want to look my best. It really does shrink those puffy tissues around the eyes. It’s a great quick fix item.

Lovely, soft skin!
Do you know the expression, “If I could bathe in this stuff, I would.”? Well, I do! I know this is an expensive option, but I use this as my body wash for my dry and sensitive body skin. Luckily, a little goes a long way. It’s so gentle and leaves my skin nice and clean, but also super soft at the same time. I use the Honey Butter cleanser on my face and this duo works really well for me.

I tried this on a whim & I am so happy that I did! My skin is a bit sensitive, as well as very moody. This elixir works with my skin. My skin actually looks better.
Thank you!

Perfect level of moisture.
I use this at night with a few drops of an oil and it’s the perfect level of moisture for my skin, even during winter. Heavy creams cause issue for me and this is perfect.

Amazingly enough
Amazingly enough... this stuff really seems to be making a difference for the skin under and around my eyes. I'm pleasantly surprised by this eye treatment. I especially love that it is all natural and no silicones, which my skin seems to immensely dislike. I have only been using for a short time but so far am very impressed. I definitely plan to order again!

Great experience
Great experience. The company sent me extra oil and even more squalene that I needed as a replacement. They acted quick and very professional. Thanks!r
Hi MLV
Thank you! for this review.
Keep us updated! It has really helped a lot of customers with body application
to slough off dead skin cells. That sounds kind of gross but very effective. 😉
Immediate results!!!
I had a big weight loss that left my skin with stretch marks and loose skin, i tried so many products and NOTHING compares to this. Within a week, half my stretch marks are faded and my skin tightened and firmed i could actively feel it working after the first use! Only part that is difficult is the ammonia smell but after applying it goes away and doesnt linger so not a big problem for me at all. I love love LOVE this and would recommend! Thank you!
Hi June ⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOW… reviews like this genuinely make us stop in our tracks. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the FirmAge DMAE Serum.
We know how emotional and frustrating changes in the skin after major weight loss can feel, so hearing that you noticed such a visible difference so quickly is so exciting! We especially appreciate you mentioning the natural DMAE aroma with such honesty and grace. It’s definitely one of those ingredients that prioritizes function over elegance, but we’ve found many customers feel the results make it worthwhile.
We’re beyond grateful you gave it a chance and even more grateful that it’s helping you feel good in your skin again.
With Our Deepest Gratitude, Your Team @ GoW
My favorite serum of all time!! I don't know what took me so long to order this one, but Jen recommended it for hydration, and after finishing up some other (also lovely) GoW serums I finally got myself one of these. It is the most supremely hydrating serum I have ever used. It feels dewy but not greasy, and gives that sinking, unctuous hydration that feels like it really penetrates. I am prone to dehydration, and sometimes it feels like nothing actually soothes it, and products are just sitting on top. Not with Es-care-go!!! I don't even need a cream during the day anymore, which for me is unheard of. Before, without a copious layer or some sort of cream or oil my skin would feel tight. I credit this serum with allowing me to use some retinol again, which is another huge win. Can't live without this one!!!! Thank you GoW!
😙This review absolutely made our day. Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback and for trusting Jen’s recommendation.
Hearing that Es-Care-Go Serum helped bring that deep, comfortable feeling of hydration to your skin is exactly what we hoped this serum could offer, especially for skin that feels persistently dehydrated beneath the surface.
We loved reading your description of it feeling dewy yet able to truly sink in, because that balance was incredibly important to us when creating it. Hearing that it helped support your skin enough to comfortably use retinol again is such a huge compliment. It's a great example of the 'proof is in the pudding'. *smiles8
We’re so grateful you’re here with us and beyond happy that this serum found its way into your routine.

Well I can brag about the company all day because my experience is with them have been amazing. They work extra hard to make sure that us the customers are well taken care of in my experience. The prickly pear seed oil seems to be of high quality, silky, and is one the star of my anti-aging ace serum which since purchasing this oil from them has had it come out perfect every time. Great job!!
Derena -`♡´-
This means so much to all of us, thank you. We put a great deal of care into sourcing ingredients that feel beautiful to work with, so hearing that the Prickly Pear Seed Oil has become such a standout in your serum brought a smile to our faces. This is my favorite oil!
We’re also incredibly grateful for your kind words about our team. Taking care of our customers has always been at the heart of what we do, and support like yours genuinely keeps us going.
Wishing you continued beautiful and glowing skin ahead,

This is a great light hand lotion with a great scent that doesn’t irritate my skin
This is a great light hand lotion with a great scent that doesn’t irritate my skin. I wish it was a bit thicker. When I need something heavier, I’ll use the Sinfully Rich Hand Cream.
Thank You 😊❣️for your review.
We completely understand what you mean about it feeling a bit on the thinner side. Over the years, we’ve actually found that many skin products tend to perform best when they’re lighter in texture, as they absorb more comfortably and layer beautifully on prepared skin.
That said, if you prefer a richer feel, we do offer a couple of thicker creams that blend wonderfully with this lotion. A small amount mixed in can create a really lovely texture while still giving you the benefits of both products.
Wishing you well ❤️
