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.

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! :)

healthy plumping glow
I love all the GOW products that Jen has recommended to me, but this is definitely one of my favorites! It has very subtle cherry scent and nice gel like consistency. When I put it on, my skin loves it. The serum makes it "glowy" but also matte at the same time... I know this may sound like a contradiction, but it's remarkable. Feels like it creates a plump clean healthy canvas to then apply the ceramides on top for hydration.
We're so happy your skin loves this product! Thank you!
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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our C³ Lipid Elixir! We are delighted to hear that you and your husband have both noticed positive results from using our product. We pride ourselves on using gentle and effective ingredients, such as squalane, to provide skin conditioning and improve skin texture. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to exceed your expectations.
Have a wonderful day!
These pads are one of my favorites! I have used them for a few years. They don't flare up my rosacea (do a patch test first) or cause excessive dryness. I only use 1-2 times a week so the product lasts for many months. I like that it only has one ingredient and no preservatives. Great price and shipping is fast.
Hi Teresa

Upon doing the cottonball test this item did not clean my face properly for me . I only use jojoba oil and concealer in a few places. I do believe it has quality ingredients, I have mixed it w the Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser as to make that cleanser more gentle for MY high maintenance skin.
Hi Julie
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Soothing Cleansing Gel. We apologize that the product did not meet your expectations and we understand that finding the right cleanser for your skin can be a challenge.
We appreciate your feedback and would like to suggest trying our Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser, which you have already mixed with our Soothing Cleansing Gel. It may be a better fit for your high maintenance skin. We also recommend using a gentle exfoliator occasionally to
help ensure a deep clean.
We strive to provide quality products and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
Again, thank you for your honesty as well,

Even before I moved to natural products, I had difficulty with deodorants. I sweat a good bit. I would rotate between a couple of deodorants as that seemed to help ensure they kept working. I do like the natural deodorant sticks with baking soda. I also like the way it feels as a barrier on my skin. However, before or by the end of the work day, they stopped doing their job. So, I decided to use the unscented version of this GOW along with the stick deodorant. Put this on first, let it dry and then apply the stick. This has made such a difference!!!! It really keeps odors in check! I’m sensitive to scents, but citrus is usually not a problem, so I’ll try that next time.n
Hi Valerie
It's wonderful to hear that our Deodorant Spray has been working well for you! It's great to know that you've found a solution to help with your sweating and that our product has made a difference for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for your support.
We hope you continue to enjoy our product!

There's something about coconut vinegar that just hits right...
I LOVE to close my eyes and spray all of the Coco tonics on my face after washing it. It smells amazing and makes it so less is more as you move forward with serums and creams. It's like self-care in a spritzer.

The scent to rival all scent-sations!
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.
