Solstice is a salve in every sense of the word. I purchased with hopes of increased hydration in the transition to winter weather, and this balm delivers in spades. A little goes a long way: I use it on along my hairline, down my neck/chest, and on my face's driest points — including around my nose, which is my favourite place to apply because I get to enjoy the incredible scent. The vibrant colour makes an already-divine product feel even more luxe. No notes!
I love City! This is my first Vitamin C, and I absolutely love how it's impacted my skin over my first few weeks of use. I use City as my final skincare step (followed by sunscreen); it locks in moisture while immediately brightening and smoothing. I've noticed my pores appear blurred and clearer with ZERO irritation, which feels like a feat for my historically sensitive skin. I also love the herbaceous scent. Will repurchase many times over :)
I recently placed my first Stark order, including the lovely Equinox. After a couple weeks of use it's safe to say I'll be reordering again and again. Equinox does what it says it will: calms and smooths my cold-air irritated skin, and it offers a beautiful scent/visual experience to boot; it's been the perfect companion as Toronto moves into winter weather. I use it morning and night directly after my moisturizing oil, and it instantly locks that moisture in and makes my skin feel bouncy and smooth! From my teen acne days, I have muscle memory to "not touch my face," but this serum makes me want to sneak feels all day!
Aurora has changed my life!! my skin feels so fresh, hydrated and youthful.. I could not live without it.. I always make sure I don't run out. :)
Absolutely love this lip mask. Feels luxuriant and effective.
I'll never stop buying Petrichor! Better than any other facial mist I've ever tried. My skin stays more hydrated when I start my skincare routine with a spritz of Petrichor! My one and only complaint is that Jess has yet to create other products with the Petrichor scent. I want to smell like this all the time.
I have been purchasing Aurora on repeat since a lot of years. The smell is great and it removes any makeup very easily and it is great even on sensitive eyes.
I really like this mist and was sad when I ran out and lost it from my routine. I'm excited to have it again and the new packaging is really nice!
The metal roller back is quite soothing and oil is not heavy. I don’t experienced any milia. There is a blurring effect and sun around my eyes feels comforted. I’ve also used on my entire face when traveling and minimizing the products I needed to pack.
Lovely serum! Feels beyond luxurious and very hydrating. Love that it has natural retinol but also feels like it locks in moisture. Most retinols are very drying and this is the opposite.
This balm smells great and works! Good to bring for a weekend away as it is multipurpose. It has not irritated my skin in any way.
I love this formula so much. It's ultra calming, healing and smells so great. The perfect hydrating and soothing serum. I've been using it to do facials for clients and they also love the hydration effect as well as the scent.
I've been using Stark for years now and I get compliments on my skin all the time. I'll be 48 soon and people are always shocked when I tell them my age and it's because I take care of myself and invest in amazing products like this.
A little bit goes a long way. It's perfect to use before bed and stays on all night so I can still feel its effects in the morning. Love!
Woodsy wonderfulness! I’ve been enjoying this multi purpose balm since late summer and have really been loving it. I mostly use it as a moisturizer but have used it as a gentle morning cleanse as well, which it excels at. I’ve noticed that this can be used day and night as my main moisturizer by just adjusting the amount I use. I live in Colorado and my skin starts to get pretty dry this time of year but with this balm and a few more of Jess’s products, my skin feels comfortable, well moisturized and hydrated. Also, Jess’s scents in all her products really resonate with my nose and this balm is no different! It smells like a calming woodsy forest walk and the scent pairs so well with midnight oil at night before bed to calm me down. This is lighter than Aurora and perfect for daytime use. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Tried and true. My misty, moisty morning wakeup! So glad it's back in stock.
I am a long time Stark user and very loyal to Aurora balm and City oil, but Solstice is a new top contender. I use it mixed with a serum overnight when i want deeper hydration or just rub some into my skin before going outside when the winter weather is harsh. It does not irritate or breakout my dry sensitive skin and prevents tightness or flaking from sub zero weather.
I originally planned to repurchase the MIDNIGHT Resiliency Boost Oil Serum, which I absolutely loved, but the new EQUINOX Calm + Smooth Hydration Serum popped up on my Facebook feed and immediately caught my eye. The only thing I wished from the Midnight serum was for it to be slightly less oily, although it never bothered me and it worked wonderfully on my dry skin. EQUINOX sounded like the perfect balance of hydration and lightweight texture, and I also could not resist the beautiful blue color in the photos. I was especially excited to see Helichrysum in the formula.
Since there was an early Black Friday sale, I ordered two. I trust Jess’s products and felt confident I would not regret it. I have been using EQUINOX for several days now and I truly love it. It is still beautifully moisturizing with just the right amount of oil, and my skin feels amazing right after I apply it.
I also ordered the Aurora balm and the Astral eye serum, and within just a few days my skin improved so much. This morning, my foundation went on so smoothly with no creasing and no dry patches. I was honestly so happy to see how well my skin held the makeup.
I had been wandering from product to product ever since my first Stark Skincare order a few years ago, but I found myself returning again. Now I think I am finally ready to end my skincare wandering for good.
This soap is a delight to use. I'm pretty sensitive to products with fragrance but I can't get enough of this soap. The fragrance is gentle and delicious and my skin loves it.
Love this oil for the light moisture and also vitamin C that doesn’t sting or cause my face to turn red. Hoping that some Melasma may fade in the coming months since I’m adding vitamin C back into my routine.
My skin tends to be oily and dry in different areas. Equinox balances both areas and calms my skin. I ran out and tried other serums, but my skin was unhappy. So happy that I received Equinox in my mailbox this morning! I used it right away!
I love the scent - it’s so nice to have a pleasant cleansing experience at the end of the day. I use Boreal to take off spf and makeup and then Eclipse follows. I also like to mix a Boereal or Aurora with some Eclipse in my hand, apply like a mask and then wash off at the end of my shower.
I bought this for the first time as a splurge (decadent skincare is my self-love language) and now I can’t live without it. I have *very* sensitive skin around my eyes, and this is the ONLY thing I can use consistently without issue. Lightweight, absorbs easily, layers under SPF or makeup — truly a beautiful product ✨
Smells divine and sinks into my skin quickly when applied as a balm after retinoids. Also a great first cleanse, removing mascara without stinging or pulling out my eyelashes, and removes waterproof spf, too!
This is the only product that I see and feel instant results with. I have a skin condition that sometimes flares up causing dry patches and red spots. As a musical performer it’s embarrassing to have this problem. I must have tried at least 20-30 creams and oils from $30 dollars to $150 dollars and nothing worked. This oil makes everything calm down and look and feel better. Since I’ve been using this I’ve had almost no issues for years. I absolutely love this oil!!!!
