There’s a sale and I’m getting some eye stuff and cleaner but what else is good?

Their retinol is decent but there's better formulas out there now. They do have a new one I haven't tried though.

Their Multi Peptide with Copper Peptides serum is really nice. It makes a noticeable difference in my skin.

The Multi AntiOxidant Radiance Serum is their newish Vitamin C serum and I'm not a fan. It does nothing and I would not rebuy. Their Vitamin C Suspension was really harsh on my skin.

Their moisturizer is nice and cheap but I prefer CeraVe PM.

Their Azelac Acid is also nice.

Their Rosehip Seed oil is a favorite. They had some great oils that they discontinued.

The Soothing Barrier Support serum is really nice during the harsh winter when the wind and cold dehydrate my face. If you need barrier repair, this is a decent choice.

They seem to be moving from the single ingredients to more multiple ingredient serums.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed they had a sale! I need to re-purchase their Squalane Cleanser. That's my recommendation!

I have oily skin so their salicylic acid mask with charcoal in it helps my spotty chin.

I love their rosehip oil. I have the vit c in suspension & it works for my oily skin. I don't rate the moisturiser or cleansers.

The niamicide is ok, and so is the salyclic acid serum & masks.

Their niacinamide and hylauronic acid serums are good

Mightneedencouraged · 02/04/2026 15:46

The volufiline is amazing (going to stock up, thanks).

I much prefer Eve Lom cleanser, but use TO's squalene as an affordable alternative. I also love their glycolic acid, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

I haven’t tried many of their products, only the niacinamide and peptide ones. But honestly those are some of the best I’ve tried!

Where do you use the copper peptides in your routine? I was going to purchase it but was then put off by some reviews. I’m frightened of a lot of skincare!

NotSmallButFunSize · 02/04/2026 20:18

Glycolic acid!

thekingfisher · 02/04/2026 20:26

I love multi-peptides and copper, I think this is really an effective treatment. I ‘ve also just started using in the evening the 15% GF which I’ve no idea what is in it but good reviews for anti ageing so giving it a shot. I also swear by the squalane cleanser and my dh the ha moisturiser.

I use it in the morning. I put on Vitamin C serum, give my skin about a half hour for pH to adjust ( skin gets acidic from the Vitamin C) then put on the Copper Peptides.

The little bottles also make nice bud vases.

I vote for moisturizer. For me it mimics natural skin hydration, and no unnecessary extras.
