It's the solid version of products like Shea butter or jojoba oil. So it has a very dewy glow. Your face will never feel dry. When you apply it on your face, it melts with your body heat and spreads smoothly. You can use this product alone after cleansing. However, if you don't like the dewy, shiny look, be sure to test it out before purchasing. When you apply makeup over this, it gives a very glossy, oily glow. It's more of an oil-based glow rather than a pearly glow. In this cold weather, the oily glow looks quite nice.
ConsIs it really true that I have to buy a tin case separately? ใ

Even after slathering on a thick moisturizer, the dry weather and constant mask-wearing make it feel like all my exfoliating efforts were for naught - my face is left blotchy, red, and flaky. Instead of getting frustrated, I gently massage in a few pumps of the Grace-Filled Glow, enveloping my freshly cleansed skin. When I wake up, my face is coated in a dewy, glowing finish - perfect for effortless morning makeup. It's an added bonus that my day just seems to flow a little bit better!
ConsIt really wears down quickly and the quantity is so small :( It just doesn't feel worth the money.

The moisturization is also good. Since it's fair trade, I feel like I made an ethical purchase.
ConsI wish they had provided a tin case as well.
TipI apply the low-molecular essence from Tori, and then layer it with another product on top. My skin feels amazing the next day.

ConsAfter applying it, my makeup cakes up a lot. I have to melt it with my hands every time I use it, which is unsanitary.

I think I've been using it for about two to three months. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations when I bought it. I've used up several bottles of the Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum before, and while transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle, I decided to try this solid product, and it's been amazing! I didn't think a solid serum could replace the liquid one I used to use, but it's actually better than the liquid one I used before. When I wake up in the morning after using this, my skin feels so smooth and soft. It leaves a bit of a coated feeling on my face, but it seems to lock in the moisture from the toner really well. After this, I use the Lush Celestial moisturizer, and the combination works great.
ConsIf it gets too hot at home, it starts to melt. I was really surprised when it started melting because my heater was blasting in the winter. It doesn't actually flow or anything, but it melts like chocolate. If it does melt, don't touch it and just put it straight in the fridge, and it will retain its original shape.
TipI'm using the upturned lid of a small tin can (that used to hold a candle) as a stand. You could also use any small dish or plate you have at home. Just place it on a dish and keep it in your vanity or bathroom, and you won't have to worry about dust.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using this product for about 2 weeks now!โฅ๏ธ I was at the Lush store, trying to decide which wash-off mask to buy, when the sales associate recommended this serum bar to me since I mentioned having dry skin.๐ You could really tell the difference between my hand with and without the product when I was testing it at the store, so I ended up buying the serum bar and one mask instead of two masks.๐๐ปโโ๏ธ When I got home and used it, my face didn't feel tight at all, even 10 minutes after washing it off. There was no dryness whatsoever.๐ง๐ง I usually have very dry skin, so I have to apply face oil right after cleansing and toner right away.๐ฟ But on the days I use this serum bar with a mask, I don't have to rush through my skincare routine.๐๐ป I even use this as a face oil replacement on days I don't use a mask. The scent is lovely, so it makes me feel like I'm pampering my skin even when I'm not doing a full routine.๐ The bar format makes it easy to control the amount I use. It's a great value for the price.โบ๏ธ It can be used before or after a mask, but I personally prefer to apply it before as a booster.๐ท There's a noticeable difference in how my skin feels with and without it. The biggest difference is in the lack of tightness after cleansing.ใ ใ If you have dry skin or struggle with tightness during masking, I highly recommend this product!๐
ConsThe downside is that it doesn't come with packaging, so you have to buy a tin case separately... And since it can't get wet, the lack of a handle means you have to be really careful not to get water on it.๐ And of course, being a Lush product, the price is quite steep. But I think I'll keep buying it to use with my wash-off masks.๐
Tip๐A tin case for sewing kits fits this serum bar perfectly! ๐Since it's meant to be stored at room temperature, not the fridge, I recommend keeping it by an open window these days when the heater is on.๐ฅณ ๐If your face is looking a bit oily, don't rub the bar directly on your face. Rub it on your palms first, then lightly apply it - this helps the moisture last longer without excess oil. ๐The expiration date on this Lush product is surprisingly long, so you can use it for a while. That helps make up for the steep price a bit.ใ ใ

It feels like a thin layer is applied? On the day I use the pack, I can even go to bed with just this and not feel any tightness.
ConsIt is difficult to store and even melts in the warmth of the hands. You have to handle it gently. So it can be tricky to apply.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a great find after a long time. The solid serum concept was quite innovative, and I purchased it based on my coworker's strong recommendation to deal with seasonal dryness and skin troubles. It provides moisture and soothing effects across the entire face, which I'm definitely experiencing. I no longer use ampoules. I also don't mix oils into my cream anymore. I don't even need to do that, as I don't experience dryness. Before, I would finish with a more oily product or mix in oils to feel moisturized, but that would just feed my acne. Now, I feel at peace. It hasn't completely eliminated my milia or inflammatory acne yet, but it's not getting worse, and most importantly, my skin texture has become incredibly smooth. It's not drying, and while it has plenty of oil components, it sinks into my skin without causing any troubles, leaving me feeling wonderfully comfortable. I only use it at night, and I'm amazed by my skin texture every morning after cleansing. I do need to be careful about dust accumulation since it's stored exposed, and the temperature sensitivity requires it to not be too hot or cold, so it's a bit finicky. But the benefits far outweigh those minor inconveniences.
ConsEven if stored properly, there's always some dust in the air, so my fingers do pick up a bit of it when I touch the product. I think we'll need to research some storage case tips. Unless you're a hardcore skincare enthusiast, you might not repurchase this twice, but I'll definitely keep buying it. Lush products are always a bit pricey relative to the quantity, which makes me hesitate when checking out, but once you start, it's an ant colony you can't escape. This product is really just this much~ It lasts about a month with regular use. Why do they keep making such great products that make me want to keep buying more and more? That's the only downside.
TipI store it in a covered soap case from Daiso, lining the bottom with the oiled paper it came wrapped in. That way, there's no residue pressing into the bottom. Right after cleansing, while my face is still a bit damp, I massage in plenty of aloe gel, let it absorb, and then apply a light toner. Then I melt the solid product in my palms and spread it all over my face. I can even dab a bit directly on my eye area instead of using an eye cream. To finish, I lightly layer on a cream. That's a simple yet hydrating skincare routine for the seasonal changes!

When the store staff explained the product, they told me to use it by massaging it into the skin, so that's how I've been using it.
ConsI was recommended this product because my skin was dry, but after using it, I felt even drier in the morning. Since it's a solid type, it's also a bit inconvenient to use.
