Excellent for overnight, lasts a good while, you get a solid amount for the price, and smells so nice! Cool formulation, would def recommend giving this a try.
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 have been using Eclipse in the mornings, and Aurora at night. I think Eclipse is a perfect cleanser. It smells fresh, feels nice, cleans well, and is not drying in the least. My skin is generally on the oily side, so I like to cleanse in the mornings. I've also used it as a morning mask twice: I applied it to a dry face, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, then hopped in the shower. I felt my skin looked a little extra perky on those days.
This is my first time ordering City, and I just love it. I've never used a serum instead of a traditional cream, and was pretty skeptical that it (1) wouldn't do a good job, and (2) would look oily on my naturally oily, Italian skin. I was dead wrong on both counts. This oil absorbs quickly and easily, and leaves me with a nice glow that seems to last all day. I use it at night, mixed with Equinox, and in the mornings on its own.
I recently placed a large Stark order as a Mother's Day gift to myself, and this is the only item that I don't love. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad or anything, but I wouldn't purchase it again. I don't find it has a lot of staying power (I reapply it more than my other balms), it's very grainy (they melt down, you just have to work a bit at it), and it smells kinda 'sheepy' (it's the lanolin, and the smell dies down on your lips). I ordered the Mint one, but received the Coconut one. Maybe the Mint is different.
This cleansing balm is excellent. I've been using it every night for the past two weeks, and I love it. It does an excellent job of removing makeup and cleaning my face. I don't do a double cleanse, I just remove with warm water and a wash cloth. My skin tone looks more even, and my face is very soft each morning. One day, my husband even commented that my face "looks very soft".
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.
My absolute fave, my to go to. Been using it for years!
Just started using City and I combine it with Equinox which works out great as the days are getting warmer in So California! I love Jess’s products, they are are clean, of great quality and smell absolutely wonderful!
I love this product. It sinks into my skin and smells wonderful. I love the way my skin feels.
I love my Stark daytime facial routine of Petrichlor toner, Equinox serum, and City day oil. I have used City regularly for years and it’s an adaptable oil that works well for me in all seasons, winter to summer. It feels protective and nourishing but also not too heavy. I also love the scent. It gives a woodsy, peaceful effect, and evokes forest bathing. My combination 40-something skin loves this. I layer sun protection on top.
Live in the mountains in a small town but find this a great day to remove a layer of product in my day to day routine, goes on smooth and leaves your face feeling hydrated! Been a great seasonal switch from equinox! Love the brand. Could make some routines difficult as it's a thicker feel to get used to.
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!
Aurora has a lovely, luxurious texture and smells delicious. I especially like using it as a one-and-done to wash and moisturize my face when I need to remove makeup or sunscreen but don't really feel like washing my face in the evening.
Smells divine & i love the rollerball application.
And knowing the level of care with regards to purity & sourcing of Jess’s great ingredients is so reassuring. And it works beautifully!!
My first time ordering City and I like it a lot. Just the right texture and a nice switch up for warmer weather. I will be ordering it again.
Such a rich lovely serum. Feels so good going on and has little/no downside or irritation like so many retinols do. This is my second time ordering it and I really enjoy having it as my last step in my nighttime routine.
I use this before makeup and heading out to work. Moist coverage and makeup goes on well after absorption. I sometimes use on my day off as well just as barrier to keep my skin feeling good at home.
Not as rich as Aurora, but should be good for summer. Nice scent and easily melts to cover my face to remove makeup. Sometimes I'll use Equinox after as a double cleanse.
I usually put on at night and it melts onto my lips. In morning my lips still feel moisturized. I like it compared to other lip balms.
Very nice roller ball application . Absorbs well with no irritation.
A very nice cooling mist upon spraying. Especially on this hot 37C day after getting out of the shower and a bit of sun cutting the lawn. No irritation and skin feel calm and dewy.
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.
Bought a different balm last time and my 12 yo wouldn't have it. He loves Aurora more than me and demanded I would not stray this time around.
Hydrates face while giving you a soft glow. A great daytime serum and you only need to use a very small amount.
