British skincare brand Vanderohe first came to my attention in 2017, when Olivia Thorpe launched her first skincare baby, No.1 Nourishing Face Serum into the world (since then she grew both her family – she now has three children – and her brand). After using the first bottle of that beautiful blend of plants that was gifted to me, I bought a second one and still hold the serum in high esteem. In actual fact I think that it is better than the cult Vintner’s Daughter Face serum (from both the effect on the skin, as well as the price point, as far as my own personal experience with both is concerned). Last year Olivia had another skincare baby, No.1 Purifying Cleansing Oil, and earlier this year No. 1 Exfoliating Powder humbly stepped into the beauty spotlight. Question is, how do they compare in terms of efficacy to the face serum and do they compliment each other, as part of the daily skincare routine?

A delicate blend of high-grade organic & cold-pressed oils, Olivia also enriched the formula with 100% pure, organic essential oils that together gently deep-cleanse your skin, whilst keeping it smooth & soft. Steam-distilled essential oils will lovingly cleanse the skin, while nourishing & nurturing it with organic Safflower, Sweet Almond, Lavender, Rose Geranium, Eucalyptus, Neroli and Peppermint essential Oils (if you have sensitive skin, please remember to do a patch test first!).

Another element of the formulas is that each ingredient possesses not only skin-benefitting qualities, but mood-enhancing properties too – something that I am sure won’t go unnoticed when you start using the products.
