How it works
Keep your skincare simple. The Essentials Kit features the three fundamental steps of a daily skincare routine: cleanse, treat, and moisturize. Each product was carefully formulated and obsessively tested to be truly effective. No fillers or marketing gimmicks, just skincare that works.
Start your routine with the creamy, cushiony Velvet Cleansing Milk to gently remove dirt, grime, sweat, and other buildup, without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Pat dry and apply Soft Touch AHA, a leave-on exfoliant featuring 10% mandelic acid to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Wrap things up with our cult favorite moisturizer, Liquid Gold, which mimics and reinforces your natural moisture barrier for stronger, more resilient skin. Lights, camera, action: three steps and you’re ready to go.

United StatesLove, love the products and am so pleased that you have created this travel size set. My skin feels moisturized without that heavy, greasy feeling you get from other skin care lines. As I've aged my skin has become drier so keeping it moisturized is a key step in my skin care regimen and I love how these products make me feel and look. I can definitely tell the difference since using the Stratia products, thank you!
United StatesAs someone new to skincare, I've been intimidated by the array of options available. This kit provides an excellent starting point. Love the sizing and branding, too. Once I discover how I respond to this kit, I'll expand as needed. Thanks for giving us a guided first step!
United StatesThe cost of this product is 2 times what it's worth.
United StatesFor someone like myself just venturing into skincare routines, having the Essentials Kit is awesome. It serves as a great starting point and takes the guesswork out of the routine. The cleanser is effective and doesn't dry out my skin. Feels great. It's hard to tell if the toner is doing much, since I have decent skin in the first place, but my complexion feels nice and even. My skin feels generally softer and I think it's been less sensitive to razor burn. The moisturizer hardly seems necessary after the cleanser treats my dry skin so well, but it finishes everything off nicely. Applying it feels a little greasy at first, but it smooths out and leaves my face feeling supple. A nice way to go to bed! Overall, I trust Alli and her products. The Essentials Kit has been a great way to get started. It really hits that 80/20 payoff at a reasonable price point.
Hong KongReceived the Essential kit in a promotion and it introduced me to my new HG. I’m already a fan of Liquid Gold (will never stop using it) but Soft touch AHA was something I never thought to try and I’m so glad I did. I’ve used other AHAs before but after incorporating tretinoin into my routine, I’ve had to stop using all of them as they became too irritating. This is the only AHA that works on my skin now and it’s so gentle yet effective. I’ve already placed an order for the regular size bottle. I wasn’t as impressed with the cleansing milk as it is a bit too gentle for my liking. (I would have preferred a sample version of the C+C as I really want to try it out.) Overall this is a great introductory kit for those looking to try out the products and as a gift to family/friends to try out. Value-wise, I prefer the full size products as both AHA and a Liquid Gold bottles are not refillable so has limited travel use.
