March Box Details ($300 total value)

“BLÜH ALCHEMY is a conscious contributor to the skin care industry, evolving the standards and raising awareness of the vital importance of ethically sourcing natural ingredients. This isn’t only for the health of our own bodies, but for the health of our beautiful Mother Earth and all that inhabit it. BLÜH ALCHEMY hopes to inspire you to take a moment each day to elevate your self-care ritual with an indulgence of their luxurious treatments, packed with nutrient dense organic oils and wild harvested bioactives, lovingly handcrafted to uplift your spirit and leave your skin radiant and replenished.”

Here’s a look at what’s in the box:

BLÜH ALCHEMY Botanic-Retinol Cell Renewal ($140)

“This transformative concentrate is powered by Bakuchiol, the only plant-based alternative to retinol clinically proven to dramatically improve skin texture, collagen production, firmness and elasticity while decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne. Further boosting this formula is our advanced bioactive hydration complex and over 15 of the world’s most innovative ingredients, including cellular extracted flame tree, emu apple and Tasmanian kelp, cacay oil, watermelon bioferment and vegetable ceramides. All work synergistically to reverse the signs of premature aging while delivering lasting hydration, optimal nutrition and protection.”

Wow! What an awesome product they included. Not only is the value amazing, but it’s so unique being a natural retinol alternative. I’ve always wanted to try this ingredient in a natural retinol alternative and this one sounds like it will have such great performance and results. Oh, and it also smells really nice too, almost a little sweet. I’m just really so intrigued and want to go try it out immediately!

BLÜH ALCHEMY Exfoliating Cleanser ($65)

“This exfoliating cleanser is formulated with potent antioxidants, regenerative bioactives and essential fatty acids to activate cellular renewal, detoxification and optimal skin tone. The result is a noticeably brighter, smoother, supple complexion.”

This sounds so refreshing and lovely for skin! I like that it not only will exfoliate skin, but will also help promote detoxification with the addition of green clay and will help regenerate new healthy cells with the addition of Kakadu plum. It smells like a lovely mild citrus since it has grapefruit, orange peel, and lemon peel oils. I don’t think this is a product I’ll use every day since I don’t like to over exfoliate, but I’m certainly adding it to my rotation for a weekly deep cleanse.

BLÜH ALCHEMY Antioxidant Face Oil ($95)

“Indulge your skin in the ultimate youth reboot with an infusion of this potent cocktail of essential fatty acids and protective antioxidants.18 nutrient dense oils including wild harvested Australian Kakadu plum and Snowflower rapidly absorb to help repair, activate cell regeneration and restore optimal hydration to the lipid barrier- your skin is left plump, firm and luminous.”

This face oil sounds like an awesome every day face oil. I’ve been told I could use some help in the hydration department, specifically with repairing my skin barrier and that’s exactly what this oil says it will do, so that’s great. I usually try to use face oils without essential oils, but the addition of rose, rose geranium and lavender sure do make it smell good! I’m really intrigued to see if this can help get my skin feeling less parched.

Final Thoughts

I am just SO excited that when I opened this month’s Laurel & Reed box I found that it was this brand! I have long eyed their products and had read such great reviews, but just hadn’t tried any yet. And I have wanted to try a retinol alternative so badly, but just haven’t don’t that yet either, so it’s a doubly awesome box! I obviously have to say that the retinol alternative is my favorite product out of the three, but really they are all so amazing and I just get the feeling they are going to be so soothing and wonderful for my skin. I can’t wait to try them out. This box is always so good, but it just keeps getting better!
