I ordered the Essential Kit and having been using the cleanser, AHA and Liquid Gold for the past week. I like them all! The cleanser is very gentle but thoroughly cleans my skin. The AHA makes my face feel smooth and the Liquid Gold is very moisturizing. I need to find more products that will help with sun damage - that's my biggest issue, along with super dry skin.

I purchased this when I was about to turn 27 after realizing that I needed to evolve past my drugstore soap, water, and lotion routine to ensure that my skin stays youthful and vibrant. Late 20s is that awkward time when my skin is starting to show faint lines, but I still get zits and these products have helped me combat both. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and did not react to these products like I normally do. I got the trial size to test them on my skin and have gotten the full size of all of them.

The kit it a perfect way to sample the products and have an idea how your skincare routine would be like. I get an allergic reaction from some lines and I was delighted I did not have a negative reaction to Stratia products. I immediately ordered the entire line of full-sized items. I can already tell the difference. My skin went from parched to glowing.

Very into these products so far. The cleanser is gentle and cleanses well (I do double cleanse and use another simple cleanser before that one). I really like the AHA serum; it goes on easily and dries quickly, and I think it has helped balance my skin tone since I’ve started using it. The moisturizer is nice and light but feels like it moisturizes well. I’ve had less breakouts than normal since I started using this kit. My only complaint is that the cleanser is too small compared to the other products. I’ve already run out and have plenty of the other two. Nature of the product I suppose. But definitely going to order the full size of the cleanser now! A good comprehensive set of products.

Love the ability to try things out before committing to full sized products! I gave this kit four stars because I wasn't crazy about the cleansing milk, it just didn't feel like it was accomplishing anything and I wasn't crazy about the feel of it. However, I loved Soft Touch and Liquid Gold and will definitely be purchasing full sized bottles of those! I really love everything that this brand stands for, and it helps that they make amazing products as well!
