I ordered this product on a whim with my first ever order. The products that I bought in that first order led me to buy 7 more items to try within the last month. I ordered the trial size where I could, but for some of the items (limited L4B ones) I went back to buy the full size!
This is one of those items that I am going to buy a full size once my bottle runs out.
I just can’t figure out whether this is a serum or a light moisturizer…? It could possibly be both, or an emulsion, but the difference between serums and moisturizers, for me, has always been that a moisturizer (or emulsion) locks in all of the good stuff (toner, essence, serum) that you have used on your skin.
It is, however, light enough that I can still layer my moisturizer on top of it, as well as a face oil without feeling like my face is greasy or caked on.

A small size was included as a gift with purchase during the holiday sales . I really enjoyed using Mende . It smells like berry yogurt & I love that it is essential oil free . Planning on purchasing the full size .

I use this fantastic moisturizer in the morning when I want lightweight moisture. It smells amazing and helps my makeup to go on smoothly.

Skin savior!! Mende has seriously healed and nourished my winter-ravaged skin. Along with the porcelain water balm, Mende has made my previously dry, irritated skin soft and nourished. I am looking forward to using this on the summer as well, as I expect it will be a perfect light hydrate for our humid summers.

Mende is a beautiful balance of lightweight, but when you put it on it feels like a nicely hydrating creme. It truly feels delectible to put on before makeup, or at a point during the day where you want a nice vamp up in glow and softness.
I will get more of this marshmellowcremey goodness for exactly that reason! Smells delicious as they all do!

I’m always looking for good, nutritive, light moisturizers. Mende *is* “lush and light,” it is a delightful pink, and it smells really nice, softly fruity, but also creamy. I bought it as part of my first order of Moss, a few weeks ago. I am very interested in the in integrity and performance of ingredients, but, in this case, I also love the name: with ‘marshmallow’ in it, how could I not! Fluffy. (I take marshmallow herb as a supplement from time to time, so I know that marshmallow in this case is an actual ingredient, but it’s also suggestive of the fluffy, soothing quality I want in a face cream. Had to try it.)
In the last few years, my fair skin has been redder and warm from time to time, especially in winter. We’re at altitude, dry, cold, and even colder interspersed with wet and really cold. Yuck. So, with the weather, stress, and sensitive skin, I get flushed and warm sometimes. This happened last week after I got my package of Moss. I dabbed Mende on my cheeks, nose, chin, and went back to what I was working on. 10 minutes Iater noticed a big reduction in heat and redness. I tried it again a couple of days ago after some windy cold weather, same result. I’m going to start using it as an overall, light moisture layer, I think it will be really beneficial, plus, it’s so light and nice to use, absorbs right into my skin, leaving a moisturized feeling. Glad I got the full-size, can see this being a daily-use item.

Mende has a gorgeous consistency and smell! I even love the beautiful pink color. It feels absorbs quickly and feels so good on the skin. And like the other Moss skincare products it doesn’t cause clogged pores and flare ups on my acne prone skin.

Beautiful serum with light moisture. As with all Moss products, it feels decadent and good for my skin. I use it to layer under other products as it is not enough to use it as a moisturizer alone.

Mende is SO NICE added to Potenci! I haven’t tried it alone, but based on texture, I bet that’s great too. Mende mixes and layers nicely with other moss products – great addition to skin care routine. I have acne prone skin and this causes no irritation.

I love this serum and started using it when it was still a part of L4B. It’s wonderfully light but moisturizes like a champ. It blends and layers nicely with my other daily Moss potions. After the birth of my child 3 years ago, my skin was a mess and it never recovered. Moss has been a lifesaver for me.

I received a Mende serum a while back and was hoping she would bring it back. It’s such a beautiful product that sinks in well and makes my skin feel and look glorious. It calms it better than anything else I’ve tried. I will be purchasing another one of these soon! All of Moss’ products do amazing things for my skin! ❤️

I was a huge fan of Healing Dew and skeptical this could replace that with the same decadence and great results. Pleased to say this absolutely delivers. Incredibly feather light moisture sinks into the skin without being greasy and helps facial oils to absorb better. My skin looks and feels plump and perfectly moisturized.

Oh my Mende..My love…. I will never be without this product. (and Porcelain Water Balm & Soiree 😉 )
My EVERYDAY moisturizer. It is everything I’ve ever looked for it a light moisturizer, seriously. If I decide to wear makeup that day it is a perfect base and doesn’t mess with my foundation. If I don’t, it gives me this light but deeply moisturizing feel. It will take down some of the redness on my cheeks as well. I love playing around and mixing it with other oils/serums. I have gone through at least three of these and just opened my newest one. So happy this made it to the permanent collection as I won’t stop using it anytime soon 😉

Stop your search, this is the perfect hydrating serum! The color is beautiful; the scent is pleasant and mild. What gets me is the skin-feel…it’s a dream. Somehow, it manages to be luscious and nourishing while also feeling light as air on the skin. It layered seamlessly into a few different iterations of my skincare routine, never causing issues with how my other products applied or worked. I received a small bottle of Mende as a gift with purchase and I will definitely be ordering the full-size once I’m finish my current hydrating serum.

I love this feather light serum. It absorbs quickly leaving behind no residue, only light moisturization. This product pairs very well with all my other products that I layer daily. I feel good about the ingredients and love the way my skin looks. I highly recommend and plan to repurchase.
