The Proof is in the Reviews...
Beautifully crafted, hydrates skin need a bigger Jar!
I ordered a trial/sample size so I could make sure my dry, somewhat acne prone skin would accept this serum. I can say that my dryness did improve, however the sample of Solstice balm I also ordered, recommended to pair with it was a bit too much for me (if I were in an Alberta or Ontario winter I think I could have handled it better! I’m back in BC so I may have over done it with the amount of Solstice balm I used) That being said, I do like the serum very much! (and I just need to dial back the amount of Solstice, and maybe spot treat, no harsh words for Solstice here!)
The scent is natural and not overpowering and does not linger. It sinks in quite nicely when my face was slightly damp (as recommended) and I have to say a blue serum is just fun. I would recommend Equinox to anyone with sensitive dry skin. I find it difficult to find products for dry acne prone skin, it’s mostly for oily acne prone so I’m glad I tried Equinox. This serum’s light almost watery texture doesn’t dry me out like a hyaluronic acid type one does. Thank you Jess for making yet another scrumptious treat for my skin!
Favourite product ever! So calming and moistuzing. My husband also won’t stop using it so I made him buy his own :) a must all year round!
Great cleanser, needs only the smallest amount for a double cleanse or perfect for a morning refresh. No drying irritation.
Easy to spread over the skin and gives a good barrier from the elements. My skin feels soft the next day, no irritation.
First impression oh my....I think I am addicted to this scent. I am starting to apply this daily to protect my skin from the change of season and heated office and the cold that is starting to come. No breakouts from this and a little goes a long way. I look forward to using it, it if I could I'd use it all over I would. Another amazing product, Jess perfects all of her products! Thank you!! :)
I've repurchased Equinox a few times now. It helps so much with moisturizing my skin in a very dry climate, and compliments my skincare and makeup regime effortlessly.
I love this serum! It smells so good and soothes my skin so well!
Absolutely soothing. The results, in terms of skin texture and tone, are immediate.
From the colour to the scent to the lasting moisture and protection, I love this product. Recently, I applied it before a 10k trail run and I was thrilled with how my skin felt even after the workout in cold & windy temperatures. It is perfect.
I have been using Stark Skincare products for
almost a year. My 82 year-old, dry, rosacea-prone skin loves all of the products, especially Equinox, which is the first step in my routine, morning and nighttime. After applying Equinox, my skin feels hydrated, calmed, refreshed and ready for the next step.
My new holy grail. Equinox feels like a soothing cup of tea for my skin. My skin drinks it up morning and evening. Layers perfectly with other products, and doesn’t irritate my highly-sensitive eye area.
This definitely hydrates my skin. It feels absolutely so soft and amazing. It sinks right in and leaves this soft luxurious feel. I will be a customer for life as this does not react with my skin! I'm so happy I finally found a product that works!!
I have been using Equinox for the past two weeks. I've been using it at night only (with City) as my skin is on the oily side and I don't need the extra hydration during the summer months. I can see myself using it during the Alberta winters though, both for the day and the night. Equinox + City seem to be the perfect amount of moisture for my face. I don't know if it's these two products specifically, or just the whole combination of Stark goodies I just started using, but my skin hasn't looked this good in many years. My skin tone looks more even, I've had zero blemishes, and I have a lovely glow.
I love everything about this product! The colour, the smell, the texture... and of course the feeling on my skin. It's super hydrating and refreshing.
Equinox is a repeat purchase item for me. I love the hydration it provides and its elegant and soothing texture. I even use it on my lips! It slots easily into every routine no matter what other products I'm using. One of my musts!
First time buying it since it became a serum (used to be a spray). I do love a spray but I'm enjoying this hydrating texture.
Equinox not only smells soothing, it feels soothing. It keeps my mature, sensitive skin calm and hydrated.
Within a few days we both saw a difference, the dryness had diminished significantly.
Amazing product. Cools and hydrates on contact. Perfect all alone with sunscreen in summer or under the aurora balm for extra hydration in winter.
Fun blue stuff in a bottle that feels cooling and absorbs well, no stickiness at all. I really like the fact that I can use it around my eyes and on my lips. It's wonderful!!
I got this for my partner, who hates skincare but needs some kind of comforting, semi-occlusive balm for his grumpy, rosacea-y face. Scents bug him and plain Vaseline and Aquaphor type stuff was *too* occlusive. (Made his face "hot," also bad for laundry.) The unscented version of this has been a real boon. It's quite expensive compared to the drugstore alternatives, but 1) it has further skincare benefits, 2) it's more ecologically sound, and 3) most important, he actually ENJOYS using it. And I'd rather buy from a small business, anyway. Now I have to keep him in pricey blue face balm forever, but I do not mind at all. <3 Thanks, Stark.
This stuff is really interesting, and I'm genuinely glad I bought it. Its stand-out property, for me, is that I can use it on days when my face needs something but is also saying "No, go away, don't touch me, I want to be naked!" It is wonderfully inoffensive and nongreasy. The one star off is simply because I don't find it as hydrating as the description seems to imply, or as others have experienced. From the "gel" description, I expected something with very slightly more body. This could be just a how-my-individual-face-acts thing, and the aforementioned inoffensive nongreasiness makes a fine trade-off. Note for my fellow COVID-aware folks: This is the thing you can put on when you need some skincare but still need an adhesive mask/Readimask to stick to your face.
I have super reactive and sensitive skin and this was 100% safe for me. Very soothing and comforting for daily use! When I experiment with different products and end with a reaction this always saves me. Obsessed!
I was hesitant to order products from Stark because my barrier was already compromised and I didn't know if the botanicals would irritate my skin more. I've used other brands with botanical heavy ingredients and that led to more irritation, burning, stinging, dermatitis, etc. I am so happy that I had no reaction to this product and that it feels so deeply nourishing and healing. Living in dry Alberta with harsh winters has my skin drinking this balm up. Thank you Jess, excited to try more from you!
I love how a little of this serum calms my redness. It also absorbs quickly and is a perfect fist step for morning and night. I have contact dermatitis, rosacea, and ingrown chin hairs on a regular basis and this serum helps my skin calm down.
My sensitive dehydrated skin and skin barrier hate hylauronic acid, finding something soothing and truly hydrating in the modern market always seemed nearly impossible. But this serum has become my saviour. It’s light, refreshing and instantly (and long term) soothing. Exactly what I’ve dreamed of
Equinox has quickly become one of my favourite products from Stark. It is soothing and hydrating and I never want to be without it now! Combined with Midnight, it is saving my skin this winter. Highly recommend!
I loved it! The smell is insanely good and my skin feels amazing
Just what my skin needs to protect my skin for a good walk on a cold Canadian day!
