Everyone could use a little-pick me-up at times, right? How about our skin, it needs a little "boost" at times too, doesn't it? Say hello to our Skin Motivator Serum, perfect for morning use with a cup of coffee or tea. Caffeine energizes skin, stimulates it, and helps to smooth and even out skin tone. Perfect for all skin types, and helps to calm irritated skin and boost the skin into rejuvenation.
Method of Application Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean fingertips, and smooth it across clean skin. Use during the water soluble phase of your skin routine (after you cleanse, tone, and exfoliate before you apply any oils or creams).
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 into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it 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. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
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 (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
I've been using this for about a week and really like it.
I've been using this for about a week and really like it. I apply three drops in my routine right after cleansing. It leaves my skin less dehydrated, and seems to minimize inflammation from acne and speed its healing- my skin tone has become more even after I started using it. The consistency is pretty thin, just a tad thicker than water. It does have a distinct smell- I don’t find it unpleasant, but it’s more notable (imo) than that of my other GOW products. All in all, I’d be interested in purchasing this full-size.

I like it. It seems to calm my skin...make it less fluffy and takes down some redness. I've just been using it in the morning. I used it after hydrosol and with camellia oil. I used about two drops...like pea sized

I've been using for 4 days and I really like it. It feels almost as soothing as my beloved Rosacea Serum. This is something I think Markey will want to offer full size. HTH. :)

The Winter Balm and Skin Motivator Serum are my absolute favorites..
The Winter Balm and Skin Motivator Serum are my absolute favorites. I love the smell of both - the Winter Balm provides my face just the right amount of moisture without making it feel greasy (I use this at night) and the Skin Motivator Serum gives my skin a real wake up call in the morning. It feels lovely to apply and seems to have a really calming and plumping effect.
