Method of Application Use during your conditioning phase in your routine. Apply small amount(s) until your skin feels silky smooth
Epithelialization occurs within 24 hours after an injury and is characterized by the detachment, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of cells at the base of the epidermis along the wound. Another way to put it is that after an injury mitosis increases, therefore cell production increases and those newly formed cells migrate to any exposed dermis and provide a temporary protection. Epithelialization is the second step in wound healing, the first step is inflammation, such as redness and heat, followed by epithelialization, then collagen synthesis, contraction, and remodeling.
Keratinization is a process by which epithelial cells lose their moisture and are replaced by horny tissue
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 usually skip creams because they tend to sit on top of my skin. But this one soaks right in and leaves a silly matte finish behind. I absolutely love it!
Gianna, we see you ~ and so does Progeline™, apparently, because those wrinkles don’t stand a chance (is you even have any)!
This cream is like a tiny peptide-powered time machine in a jar. Blink and suddenly your skin’s out here saying, “Fine lines? Never met her.”
Keep slathering on the magic, your face clearly got the memo.

Lovely moisturizer
This is a light, lovely moisturizer that absorbs well. I can’t say if it reduces fine lines or helps build collagen yet because I haven’t used it long enough. It seems to be smoothing out the appearance of some sun damage however and that’s a nice surprise.
Carolyn,
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We're glad to hear the moisturizer is absorbing well and feeling light on your skin, that’s exactly what we aim for. While collagen-boosting benefits can take a little time, it’s great to hear you’re already noticing smoother skin and improvement in sun damage.
Keep us posted as you continue using it, we love to hear our customers progress!

I love this!
I think this may be my new face cream - I love it!
Barbara, I always get this goofy grin on my face when I see your name.
You are just so pretty and such an inspiration to us all.
Also, thank you for the lovely review. We are very happy you tried this
cream. Try mixing with a bit of the serum and a touch of HA Serum for
some superb hydration.

Creamy but gritty
I have used and liked the GOW progeline peptide repair serum so I decided to thr the progeline peptide wrinkle repair cream. While I like it, I wasn't expecting it to have a grit to it.
Kristine, were you able to contact us about this?
Sometimes working with products and keeping them as close to nature as possible
can cause some issues. We do our very best but once in awhile we do miss something.
Hopefully, you can use on your feet, elbows, etc.?
Thank you for your review,

Plump
I love the texture and plumpness of my face since using this cream. I'm over 60, I think it takes a few years off...excellent product!!!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we appreciate it!
I have never been able to use vitamin C of any kind on my face. Not sure what the difference is here but this one works great and doesn't bother me at all! I think it's helping even out my skin tone but I've only been using it maybe a month so far and in my experience you have to give things at least three months to really see results. But so far so good!

Seeing Results!
I got the 10 ml. size to sample the product and see if it does what it claims. My skin seems to like products with niacinamide in them so I thought it couldn't hurt to try TXA+Z. I'm happy to say that I'm beginning to see results regarding fading of stubborn after-blemish hyperpigmentation on my face and, while I use other products for this purpose as well, I think the TXA+Z is doing most of the heavy lifting at this point. I like the feel of this serum and have been using it in the morning. I'm back to get the 1 oz. size before I run out.
This product is amazing. My skin looks and feels better after only a couple of weeks. I am pleased. Thank you Mother Earth for the gifts Garden of Wisdom uses from you. Thank you Garden of Wisdom for using these gifts for our benefit. Blessings to all of you

I need this!
As I’ve hit my 60s, the bags under my eyes are really getting bad. So so happy to have this incredible serum to help. I’m definitely noticing a difference.
Cellular Eye Complex - Age Defying Hydration for Delicate Skin
This serum has really reduced my redness! It's especially helpful any time my skin is freaking out - it seems to reduce the time it takes for breakouts to heal. The hydration and consistency are exactly what I needed as an extra step between my hydrating toner and moisturizer. Also, a friend I was catching up with actually commented on my "glow" - I thought that was only something that happened to people with naturally good skin.
Hi Katie,
What a wonderful review, thank you! We love hearing how you’re using the Calming Moisture Serum between toner and moisturizer, and even more that it’s helping calm redness and speed up healing when your skin acts up.
That “glow” compliment from your friend is the best feedback of all. Proof your skin is really happy.
Warmly,
The Garden of Wisdom Team ❤️
This cream is really helping to balance my combination dehydrated skin. I'm using the lighter version. It doesn't seem to be clogging my pores or causing any breakouts, which I can't say for many other moisturizers. It's a strong contender for a permanent spot in my routine.
Thank You, Katie 😊❣️
So glad the Chamomile Cream is keeping your skin balanced and breakout-free, that’s the best outcome we could hope for!

I have very red and easily irritated skin. This product annihilates the redness overnight. I had been really struggling to find something that helped and this was the only thing that did. It didn't irritate my skin in any way when applied. If there's a moisturizer to match in the future, I volunteer as the guinea pig lol. Thank you for a wonderful product.
Hi Jen!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. The Tepezcohuite Calming & Brightening Complex has become popular, and for the same reasons, it has helped your skin. We are so happy for you!

I have very sensitive acne prone skin so I dont often try new things, especially masks that can be harsh. This left my skin soft and hydrated, it tingled slightly but left no redness.
Hi Jenn
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Sulfur Clearing Mask. We are pleased to hear that it worked well for your sensitive skin and left it feeling soft and hydrated. We understand the importance of using gentle products for acne-prone skin and we're glad to know this mask did not cause any redness. Thank you for giving our product a chance and we hope it continues to meet your expectations.
Have a beautiful day,
Markey
Smells divine and glides across the skin! Delicious!
Ann,
What a perfect way to describe this product.
Keep us updated with your results? It's always nice to know when products do and even when they don't give the expected results.
