Melanie says:

How long have you been using moss?

1-3 months.

What products do you use?

moss: Illumina, Potentci (the Dream Team!)

What’s your typical morning routine?

My typical skincare routine is that I wash with an oil cleanser, spray with a toner and then in the AM put Potentci on my face.

What’s your typical evening routine?

In the evening I wash with an oil cleanser, spray with a toner and then put Illumina followed by Potentci on my face.

What skin issues were you hoping to resolve by using moss?

The biggest skin issue that I was hoping to resolve by using moss is my acne.
I continuously had blemishes for weeks that would never go away or one would go away and another would pop up, and it was very frustrating and embarrassing to be a grown woman and go to work looking like this and having to cover up with makeup, which also didn’t let my skin breathe and contributed to blemishes.

 

Moss allowed me the freedom to feel like I can go to work and out in public without makeup on. I am no longer afraid to be in front of my friends at a gym class without makeup on. Moss helped my angry postpartum skin transition after pregnancy to calm, soft and hydrated skin that is free of blemishes.

 

Furthermore, Moss was a true treat to me during those times as a brand new mom, when you are feeling haggard and exhausted and the last thing you want to do is wash your face. I actually looked forward to washing my face and having a ritual where I took care of myself because of my moss products. I knew that they were good for me and nourishing my skin and it felt good to at least take care of myself in that way when my baby was draining all other energy from my body.

 

I can’t decide what I loved more—Illumina or Potentci. I love Illumina because I know it was the workhorse and for ages estheticians have been telling me that I need an exfoliator so that served the purpose but Potentci was a silky smooth dream. They really do work so perfectly together but also make your skin care ritual so simple and streamlined, which is critical for a first time mom.

 

What improvements have you seen after using moss?

The improvements that I’ve seen after using moss are improved skin elasticity, radiance, softness, luminosity, decongestion. My skin is glowing, adequately moisturized and clearer skin especially in my problem areas around the jawline where I always have flare-ups. I am no longer embarrassed to be seen without makeup.

Which product(s) MOST wowed you and why?

The products that most wowed me are Illumina and Potentci. Illumina has wowed me because it has been effective in being a gentle yet powerful exfoliator and successful not only decongesting clogged pores, but healing current acne and preventing further breakouts.

 

It has definitely decreased the amount of time for breakouts. It is gentle but effective and works quickly. It works synergistically so well with my favorite product, Potentci.

 

Potentci is like a luxurious treat to the skin; it feels as if it is formulated perfectly with each ingredient in Potentci perfectly picked out and you can feel that there are no fillers but that Potentci is full of “Po”tent (get it, haha!) ingredients.

 

As a lifelong acne sufferer who would generally run away from anything that looked to be a rich cream as I would always be frightened that it would clog pores, Potentci did quite the opposite; Potentci immediately nourished your skin for the day or night and helped to calm the skin.

 

While Illumina was the workhorse when it came to acne, I believe Potentci is the workhorse when it comes to BOTH acne AND anti-aging because it heals any blemishes you may have, takes away redness, provides moisture and plumps the skin. You look so awesome and skin generally feels fantastic after using Po and with the delicate scent it truly feels like a decadent treat.

 

What did you try BEFORE using moss?

I’ve tried tazorac, salicylic acid, alba acnedote facewash and toner, other natural skincare lines.

In your unique opinion, what makes moss DIFFERENT/UNIQUE?

Moss is different because it is a artisanal green beauty brand that is created by a formulator who is a scientist herself who has created a brand that combines advanced dermatological technologies AND natural exotic botanicals. It is clear that Celestya understands the science of skin and how to treat acne aggressively but naturally while also promoting anti-aging.

I love how she also combines her knowledge of Chinese medicine in her formulations (i.e., pearl) Moss is also the only luxury skin care brand that is focused on acneic but also aging skin. Acne is something that no one wants to talk about but moss makes acne sufferers feel like their skin care concerns matter, should be heard and problems can be solved. I love how Moss has not only given a voice to adult acne suffers but also helped so many people control their acne and obtain clear skin.

As a sufferer of acne myself since I was a teen, I have always yearned for there to be something out here for me that was a luxury green beauty skin care brand that addressed my skin concerns of acneic, aging skin with hyperpigmentation due to acne scarring and Moss has been everything that I had hoped it to be since it came out and more.

I was SO sad when moss 1.0 disappeared but I honestly love the current moss product selection even more. Most of all, my skin loves it and it is the healthiest and most nourished that my skin has ever been.

How has moss impacted your life and well being?

Moss has impacted my life because it has given me the ability to feel comfortable to go outside without makeup – to go to work and go to workout without makeup and covering up my skin. To be unafraid and not embarrassed to face-time with my friends and mom.

I was so sick and tired of continuously having blemishes every day of every week of my life—there literally wouldn’t be a day where I did not have a spot on my face and moss allowed me to go out into the world with clear skin.

I finally was able to regain some self confidence and feel good about myself again. This was especially important during the time in my life because I had just given birth with my first child and was feeling out of sorts and not like myself. I at least wanted to be able to present well and not have blemishes and I’m so grateful to have discovered moss for this purpose.
