Garden of Wisdom

Hey pretty babes out there ^~^

Anyone heard of Garden of Wisdom? aka GoW.

Would love to hear your comments about their products if you've tried them!
I myself have only tried the Rose Geranium Hydrosol & I loveeeeee it ^^
Got it from a friend, hence haven't personally bought it DIRECTLY from the site.

Do share your thoughts here


P.S. Anyone located in Australia: If you're interested in ordering from GoW, please PM me! ^^ Maybe we could share the shipping ^^ If I'm NOT wrong, it's a standard $13 unless you're getting a TONNNNNNNN [HEAPS] of products, then I think its more expensive. Not too sure... But do PM me please!

I've been using their products and it is the first to actually balance my skin. I found out soooo much about my skin since I started GoW and the forum is sooo informative!

The thing with GoW is you don't have to force your skin to love their products. You just have to find something that suits you . I've been experimenting around with my loot and I'm gotten my oil under control and my skin looks healthier for sure!

PS: I'm going back to melbourne soon. I might want to order another loot maybe in a month or so

hi tanyic, I've been using GoWs' for 2 weeks now. What products are you using?

[ArchangleMerc]

tanyic: if you want to place another order, do let me know, maybe we can share shipping fee, I'm in Melbourne too and have been using their products as well.

hi tanyic, I've been using GoWs' for 2 weeks now. What products are you using?

Heys! I'm using GoW for the third week and I'm very happy with their products! My skin is dry and slight dehydrated. I actually got a huge lot in my fridge to try! But so far I've gotten down to this routine which seems to work well:

AM
GoW Heather Blossom Cleanser (GoW Simply TTO Cleanser twice a week)
GoW Cocofen Clarifying Tonic
GoW Lite n Brite Serum
GoW Blue Mallow HA 3 drops emulsified with
GoW Minty Meow Facial Lotion 5-cent coin amount (or GoW Renew Cream 5-cent coin amount if feeling very dry)

PM
GoW Heather Blossom Cleanser (GoW Simply TTO Cleanser twice a week)
GoW Cocofen Clarifying Tonic
GoW Mandelic Acid 10% w/alcohol Serum (every other day or third day)
GoW Lite n Brite Serum
GoW Blue Mallow HA 3 drops emulsified with
GoW Renew Cream 5-cent coin amount (+ GoW kukui nut oil 1-2 drops if I feel like it)

Exfoiliation (thrice a week, each time with either of the below w/exceptions)
GoW Lemongrass Cleanser
GoW Glacial Clay+Aloe+Yoghurt Mask (once a week only, will use mandelic acid on the same day as well)

I have LOADS in the fridge (and another package coming to me!) which I will try when I get my basic routine sorted out. Hydrosols go before and in between serums and creams. Going to start using distilled water though because my hydrosols run out really fast from the way I use!

okie dokie! If there are more people maybe I'll do a spree I won't be ordering that soon, maybe at least 3 weeks from now. Still need to decide which ones I want full sizes of, not to mention I already have more stuff coming to me to try!

[ArchangleMerc]

Yes no problem, I have more stuffs coming too some of them area full size ones. Did you try the Mandelic Acid?

[tanyic]

me too! I have a full size melissa hydrosol and heather blossom cleanser coming my way

Yup! It's currently in my routine I'm using the 10% with alcohol and it did not sting my skin at all. Maybe I have pretty tough skin! It's only been less than a week since I started it so I'll need to give it a wait to see the effects of it though.

how is the hyaluronic acid?

[tanyic]

how is the hyaluronic acid?

They have a range of them. Some are more hydarting than others. So far I have been liking my cranberry one. Since I have dry skin, I need quite a hydrating one

What exactly would you like to know about the HA if you don't mind me asking

[Sweet Secrets]

oh okie thanks, whre are they located on the webbie?

[ArchangleMerc]

sweet secrets: I love their HA serums! It heals my skin when my skin is so dry and flaky.
This is their website: http://www.gardenofwisdom.com/home.html, they are located in US (Arizona).

[Sweet Secrets]

yeah haha i know the webbie but i can't find the HA serums. Don't know which category

[tanyic]

Most of the products that you buy straight ready made can be found in either of these tabs:

- What's New
- GoW Finished Products
- Skin Care Kits

The HA serums are under finished products > GoW Hyaluronic Acid Serums I highly recommend a HA pack for 2 reasons, they each last quite long and its good to try a variety to match a good match for your skin.

HTH!

Sweet Secrets: there is a list of the hyaluronic serums with their properties for you to select them.

I mainly use them as a base for applying my carrier oils (emu, jojoba, camellia, rosehip, etc).
