And speaking of showers, I always felt a twinge of anxiety with the glass in the shower. I always felt clean and crisp after using it but wished there was a second bottle so I wouldn’t forget it by the sink when I showered. Here’s a hint guys, when you’re almost 40 and your wife says your cologne smells like an Abercrombie, it’s not a compliment. I wanted the smell to stick around during the day as a mild fragrance to replace the Every Man Jack cologne my wife wasn’t feeling. The potent smell lingered until I washed it away in the morning, which was a downside for me. The Good was still providing excellent results and leaving my face and neck feeling satiny. In fact, I questioned immensely during the first week whether the heavily oiled product would clog my pores and cause more breakouts. That being said, Caldera is not an acne fighting regimen. I had some breakouts from my Geologie Skincare review, which Caldera Lab didn’t seem to clear up well. I didn’t miss a single application of Caldera Lab and a result was rewarded with noticeably softer skin.
CLEAN SLATE COLOGNE SKIN
That’s a small price to pay for skin this “face rubbing” smooth.Ī week into the Caldera Lab review and my wife wasn’t rubbing her face on mine every night, but she was commenting regularly on how much she liked the smell. One downside it that it did end up “staining” my pillow at night. What exactly is “several drops” of serum? Given that The Good has jojoba oil, I wish that it was part of the morning routine so I could use it as a beard oil during the day. Without knowing exactly how much to use though, I initially struggled between whether I was using too much or too little. It offers instant results, leaving skin feeling noticeably smoother and softer after even the first use. My only complaint is that there’s no SPF in The Base Layer and Caldera Lab doesn’t offer an SPF protection to add to the routine. What exactly is “a small amount” anyway? As a moisturizer, it’s a bit heavy compared to others I’ve tested and does leave s light oily residue. The Base Layer goes on smooth and dries well, but I wish there was a more specific amount in the directions. Every time I am surprised at the coverage though, as it is just enough to wash my entire face and neck. The pump dispenses such a small amount that to this day, I still always consider using a second pump. I was surprised that so little went such a long way. The Clean Slate was simple to use and lathers well. GQ was right, this is the Holy Grail of Face Serums. It’s true, my skin was softer to the touch immediately after using The Good serum. She told me she liked the smell and that my skin was super soft. I asked what she was doing, as that’s not a normal occurrence. I am not kidding she literally was running her face all over my face. Then, she began rubbing her face on mine. After a few moments in bed, she rolled over and started sniffing my face. It was my wife.Īfter washing and applying serum I hopped into to bed. However, it wasn’t me that noticed the results.
I’ve never noticed immediate results from any skincare, but this was different. One evening I started my review of Caldera Lab by using The Clean Slate and The Good as directed. The care that went into the packaging and bottling of Caldera Lab had already impressed me, but what sold me the most came after my first use. A small secondary cap over the moisturizer help keep other contaminants from failing in our sticking to the metal lid. There’s a very distinct sound of quality when screwing and unscrewing the cap from the tub. The tub containing the moisturizer was made from the same sturdy, dark glass with a solid metal screw on top. The Base Layer was also packaged in a thinner cardboard box. I had some concerns about how slippery the glass would be when using in the shower with wet hands. The bottle itself is made from the same heavy thick dark glass. The pump feels extremely solid and only requires a slight turn to the left to engage the pumping mechanism. The Clean Slate came in a thinner cardboard box, but the bottle was equally as impressive. The whole bottle and dispensing mechanism has a very couture feel. The integrated glass dropper was concealed in a wood screw on top, with a unique design I’ve never seen before. The bottle protected inside was very heavy, thick, dark glass to protect from drops but also to minimize UV exposure to the oils within which can cause degradation. At $97, this better be the holy grail GQ promised. The Good serum came in a solid cardboard tube and contained 1oz of serum. Each product was individually packaged in a sturdy box or cardboard tube. As anticipated by the weight of the packaging, the quality of the bottle and tubs were excellent.
All 3 Caldera Lab products came conveniently packaged in one box.
