Gorgeous Organic Small Batch Skincare You Need to Try!

(Post contains PR Samples & Affiliate links)

I’ve been using Evolve Organic Skincare products for around a year now (you can read about my absolute favourite cleanser here, it’s the best cleanser I’ve used!). I love their moisturisers and serums too but have never tried anything from their organic sister brand S5. Read on for my review of some of the best skincare products from Evolve and S5!

S5 Organic Skincare Review

I’ll begin with the brand that was unfamiliar to me, S5 Skincare. S5 Skincare is a cutting-edge, high performing organic skincare brand. Like Evolve Beauty, S5 products are made in small batches to preserve the efficacy of the amazing skin-loving ingredients used.

I’ve been using S5 Restore Cream* for several weeks now and I have to say it’s one of my absolute favourite moisturisers. This rich cream aimed at dry/sensitive skin is a delight to use. It contains lots of my favourite skincare ingredients such as lipids and ceramides, shea butter and high molecular hyaluronic acid (I love that they also tell you the weight).

What is low molecular weight hyaluronic acid?

So apparently the different weights of the hyaluronic acid molecule makes a big different on how it effects your skin. High weight hyaluronic acid molecules sit on the surface of the skin due to their large size. This means they give an immediate boost of hydration to the top layer which has instant effects on how the skin looks. Whereas low molecular hyaluronic acid can penetrate the skin’s barrier boosting hydration from within overtime. ideally you want a mix of high and low hyaluronic acid molecular weights to give the skin much needed hydration instantly and ongoing.

I use S5 Restore cream as my night moisturiser. Despite it being a rich cream it sinks in completely leaving no oily or tacky feeling residue, just glowing skin. Every time I use a moisturiser from either S5 or Evolve my skin immediately looks better. This is one of the nicest and best moisturisers I’ve used and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to you or even buy myself. You’ll see below that I’ve repurchased a moisturiser from Evolve several times now. I really don’t think you can go wrong with skincare products from either brand.

I was genuinely excited to try S5 Nourish Cleanser*. I LOVE Evolve’s Gentle Cleansing Melt, it is easily my favourite cleanser by far. I reviewed Evolve’s cleanser here, if you haven’t tried it I HIGHLY recommend you do. It’s good enough to eat (and does taste lovely, oops).

Having said that the wonderful S5 Nourish Cleanser gives it a run for its money. I think they both tie as my favourite cleansers, although the Nourish Cleanser is a bit more pricey so is more of a decadent treat. And decadent it is! This is a beautiful sensorial cleanser. Look at it! (No I haven’t tasted this one but if I did I am sure it would taste amazing).

Like the cleanser from its sister brand S5 Nourish cleanser deeply cleanses and removes all makeup/SPF/grime/whatever easily and with ease. This is brilliant for your skin as you don’t need to scrub or rub hard which can damage your skin (ps that’s why I am no longer using manual scrubs, only chemical for me from now on).

The main active ingredients in S5 Nourish cleanser are papaya enzymes, Arctic Sea buckthorn and high altitude rosehip oil. This is a sophisticated, luxurious and effective facial cleanser, and an absolute joy to use. Another product I think you would absolutely love.

If you don’t want to splurge your cash on the full size S5 have a good selection of travel sizes, kits or trial sets for you to try first.

Evolve Organic Beauty Review

As you might have guessed Evolve Organic Beauty is one of my favourite skincare brands. I’ve tried quite a few products from Evolve now and have loved every single one. Everything feels lovingly crafted with every product carefully thought through from the ingredients, to the packaging and their ethos.

Evolve Organic Beauty sent me their Daily Renew Facial Cream* because they knew my current bought one was just about to run out, so thank you so much for that! This is a gorgeous moisturiser and one of the best hydrating moisturisers I’ve tried!

Evolve Daily Renew Facial Cream contains some of the best skincare ingredients there is. Low molecular hyaluronic acid makes an appearance again and a mix of oils to soothe, hydrate and brighten. The cream is rich and sinks in easily leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated and looking bright. This is luxurious organic skincare that works! You guessed it, I HIGHLY recommend this moisturiser, it’s just beautiful to use.

I also love and recommend Evolve’s Multi Peptide 360 Moisture Cream. Peptides are currently one of my favourite skincare ingredients for firming the skin and reducing the look of wrinkles.

I hadn’t previously tried Evolve’s new Lip Shine in True Gold*. This is a lovely natural, vegan-friendly lip balm with little flecks of gold throughout making you feel very fancy. As well as it being a nourishing lip balm you can also use this as a subtle highlighter. I’ve been adding a little bit to my cheekbones and it looks lovely. For a little bit more fanciness you can add it to your collarbones. This would be especially nice for Christmas parties.

I also recommend their beautiful Evolve Liquid Crystal 2 in 1 Micellic Cleanser. This cleanser/toner contains pomegranate extract and hyaluronic acid to give the skin a little hydration boost. You can use it to remove light makeup or I like to use it after cleansing to prepare my skin for serums. I also like this as a morning cleanser, it wakes the skin up nicely without irritation.

One of Evolve’s most iconic and amazing products is their Hyaluronic Serum 200. This is an incredible hyaluronic serum that plumps and hydrates the skin. If you have dehydrated skin I can’t recommend this product highly enough!

Like S5, Evolve Organic Beauty have samples and travel sizes for you to try first, and they’re actually a decent size! You can find Evolve Beauty trial/travel sizes here.
