5 Stars for Aquasphere & Forest Retreat

Love Oio products and their environmental mission!! I started using these products several months ago and have purchased again. My evening routine is Aquasphere followed by Forest Retreat. The results are amazing! My skin is smooth, skin tone is flawless & fine lines have diminished. At almost 50 years old I feel I finally found products that not only make my skin look and feel better but align with my environmental ethos! Thank you!

So far so good

I should be waiting before adding this review - it is only week 2 since I have started using this cream/emulsion. But, I am already very impressed how this helps my skin to look healthy all day long. I do not have many skin issues but my skin usually looks grey and gloomy (I am very pale) soon after I put the cream in the morning and I need a foundation to give it a vivid look. With this product I do not need to put any make up: I just enjoy the natural look! I will definitely try other products!

A little goes a long way

I’m 32 with dry, acne prone, and a little sensitive skin.Living in LA i worry about pollution and the sun. This is like a thin light weight milk. I was worried at first being dry that i would use too much because I like to drench my skin in moisture and this looked too thin and runny. I mistakenly pumped 4 pumps and it covered my face neck and chest and more lol only two pumps and you cover your entire face! also is soo deeply hydrating! I’m usually flaky and this softened the flakes and now my skin looks soo glowy and smooth. DEEPLY impressed
