Infused with sour cherry distillate and orchid root extract, it helps calm and replenish the skin while promoting a radiant, even-toned complexion.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear that our product has been gentle on your sensitive skin and helped reduce irritation. It’s great that you found the texture smooth and easy to apply! Everyone’s scent perception is different, so we appreciate your thoughts on the fragrance as well. If you ever have any questions or need recommendations for complementary products, we’re here to help. Enjoy your glowing skin! Your GOW Team

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! :)
I love this serum so much. I have sensitive skin, and use this once a week so it lasts a while, and it makes such a big difference. Smooths lines, cleans pores, and evens skin tone.

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
This product has unclogged my pores and smoothed the bumps on my cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my face. It does not work overnight, you need to stick with it for a while but it worked for me!

Work horse in my skin care routine
Work horse in my skin care routine. Have used for years. I spray a few sprays after cleansing on my face, neck, and chest, then use the extra moisture it provides to spread my serum. Resets the ph of my skin, makes everything feel more comfortable, and cost effective. Love it.

Feels great on the skin
Feels great on the skin. I use it after cleansing but before serums, and it feels much more useful than a mineral water spray. I also like that it can be used throughout the day for a little boost. I had it in my purse last time I took a flight and I think it helped my skin stay happy during the journey.
Calm and Hydrate Mist

I recommend it to everyone!
I love this schampoo!! I was a little skeptical if an all natural shampoo would work, especially since I have fine, straight hair that tends to get greasy after only a couple of days with regular high quality shampoos, but this really works. I can go for 3 full days without washing it and I immediately noticed how powder soft my hair felt after the first wash. I think it even washes out the hard water. I will definitely be buying this again!

We especially appreciate that you mentioned both the results and the patience it took to get there. Skincare can sometimes be a journey rather than an overnight transformation, and feedback like yours helps set realistic expectations for others considering this or any product.
We're delighted to hear that it helped unclog pores and smooth the bumps on your cheeks while still being gentle enough for your sensitive skin. Finding that balance between effectiveness and comfort is always something we strive for when formulating.

Love this. So simple but effective. I use it daily on my face as it soothes my sensitive skin. Whenever anyone in our family has had too much sun or a sunburn, we use this - it's incredibly soothing and hydrating. Even my picky kiddos happily put it on sun-parched skin.

Thankyou ❤️ so much for your wonderful review!
We love hearing that our Aloe Vera Inner Fillet Gel has become a family favorite. There's something special about a simple ingredient that does its job so well, and we're delighted that it's helping soothe both sensitive skin and sun-parched skin alike.
