The Herb Farm – Hydrate & Restore Facial Serum

This creamy serum was a personal favourite, with its herbal scent evoking the memory of walking through a lush garden. The oil-free yet nourishing texture makes it easy to also use in the mornings. This serum leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated, hydrated, and healthy, making it a wonderful addition to any skincare routine. Keen to explore more of their range! I love that they grow their own herbs and produce their products on-site, giving everything a very intimate and organic feel, and ensuring the freshest and most potent ingredients. Their commitment to cruelty-free practices and 100% natural, vegetarian formulations is commendable. I like their upcycling program, where customers can return empty bottles and jars which are then reused as testers and samples. Additionally, The Herb Farm is part of the ‘Trees That Count’ movement, contributing to the planting of native trees throughout New Zealand with every purchase, which is such a beautiful incentive. Their thoughtful packaging choices and community support efforts further highlight their dedication to ethical and sustainable practices.

This serum is a beautiful botanical smoothie for the skin! It has a subtle yet fresh scent and it instantly leaves my complexion looking plump, radiant and hydrated after every application. I love that it absorbs nicely into the skin without leaving any greasy residue and is a lovely addition to my routine. I am really impressed that they grow and harvest their own herbs so they have complete control and can ensure they are picked at the right time to provide potency to their formulas. That is an extra level of dedication and one I truly admire.

I adore the intricate details on the outer packaging of this product, from the artwork and quote to the useful information it provides. The serum itself has a subtle floral scent and is instantly absorbed after application. The blend of herbal extracts and organic Rosehip has an incredibly healing and hydrating effect on the skin. I love that The Herb Farm utilises herbs from their gardens and that each herb is harvested when it is most active and vibrant. It is also wonderful that every purchase made helps plant native trees throughout New Zealand, through the ‘Trees That Count’ movement.
