This Discovery Set Is the Perfect Intro to My New Favorite Skincare Brand…

If you, like me, have been struggling with finicky, dull-looking, combination skin for as long as you can remember, then you know locking in a good skincare routine is an uphill battle!  

Every time I’ve tried to integrate a new “revolutionary” product into my regimen, it would go one of two ways: I’d either 1) break out horribly or 2) be deeply underwhelmed by the results—so I found myself sticking to the few over-the-counter products I knew and trusted. Sound familiar? 

After hearing several friends rave about Ogee and their luxury organic skincare products, I was skeptical of the hype. Still, I figured I’d order Ogee’s Discovery Set—a complete six-step skincare routine featuring some of Ogee’s most popular products—so I could see what all the fuss was about.

Here are my thoughts…

Organic Cleansers That Actually Work

Cleansers are the foundation of any skincare routine—but they can be hit or miss! Too harsh and they’ll make your skin angry, too gentle and they won’t clean or exfoliate well enough. Once my Ogee Discovery Set arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how perfectly travel-sized everything was. I’d have no problem tossing this stuff in my bag for even a short weekend trip.

To start my testing, I began with the two included cleansers: Ogee’s Liquid Gold Cleansing Oil and their Botanical Brilliance Exfoliating Cleanser. 

The Liquid Gold Cleansing Oil—which is packed with hydrating and soothing ingredients like Jojoba Oil and Frankincense Extract—gently removed my makeup and left my skin feeling fresh and moisturized. I followed up with Ogee’s Botanical Brilliance Exfoliating Cleanser, which uses Jojoba Beads, Seeds, and Waxes to remove dead skin and dissolve impurities. 

I was worried just one cleanser (not to mention two) would leave my skin dryer than a sheet of paper. But me oh my was I wrong! This duo left my skin looking bright without the dreaded dryness.

Serums That Nourish and Hydrate

After cleansing, I followed up with Ogee’s Seeds of Youth Serum and Jojoba Glow Face Oil.  

The Seeds of Youth Serum absorbed into my skin so evenly and instantly left it firmer and more radiant—probably thanks to its inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid and Ogee’s Edelweiss Flower Stem Cell technology. 

Next, I applied the Jojoba Glow Face Oil, which drenched my skin with antioxidants delivered by Ogee’s signature blend of hydrating and nourishing essential oils formulated to balance oil production and combat visible signs of aging.

Creams That Restore and Renew

I finished up with Ogee’s Indigo Dream Renewal Cream (which makes for a luxurious overnight masque) and Brightening Botanical Eye Balm.

Even though the Indigo Dream Renewal Cream has a super-rich texture, it melted right into my skin. Because it’s rich in Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid for long-lasting hydration—plus Acmella Flower for anti-aging benefits and Blue Tansy to calm irritation—I felt good knowing I’d soak up skin-friendly ingredients while I slept. 

Next, I applied Ogee’s Brightening Botanical Eye Balm which uses botanicals—including natural retinol Bakuchiol—to plump and brighten the skin around my eyes. 

When I woke up the next morning, my skin looked better than it had in years—but I had been fooled before by routines that worked on the first night, only to break me out a week later. Could this routine stand the test of time?      

Results That Left Me Glowing

I am (beyond) happy to say that after more than a week of using Ogee’s Discovery Set, my skin is more nourished, exfoliated, and breakout-resistant than it’s been in a long, long time (read: maybe ever). 

Ogee has turned this skeptic into a believer with well-made, organic products that purify, nourish, and restore my skin. My fine lines are less noticeable, my skin texture is more even, and my oil production has mellowed out big time

I just placed an order for the full-sized products last night—but I’ll definitely be keeping the Discovery Set handy for any time I need to catch a plane!

Ogee’s Discovery Set is $125, and with free shipping on orders over $75 (just a note that it’s final sale). 

If you’re looking for a convenient (and portable!) way to level up your skincare routine, I urge you to check out Ogee’s Discovery Set as soon as you can!
