Lore Reviews Mad Hippie

As the seasons change, our skin also needs change. Given this is the body’s biggest organ we figure it deserves a little extra TLC. So we took the guesswork out and tried the entire Mad Hippie range to give you our honest opinions on the products and what we really loved from the range (whilst keeping the routine super simple)!

Cleansing Oil

I absolutely can’t live without my Mad Hippie Cleansing Oil (all year round really) but most especially at this time of the year when the temperature fluctuations between indoors and out can be so confusing and dehydrating on the skin. With the magical number of 8 natural actives including: Ginger Extract for calming and soothing, Rosehip Oil for it’s dual antioxidant goodness of both vitamins A and C, and the replenishing omega fatty acids and Vitamin E of Pumpkin Seed Oil, this awesome oil does more than its fair share of keeping my more mature/combination skin clean, hydrated and happy! Oh, and did I mention it does a stellar job of removing my make up as well? What’s not to love?

I wear a full face of makeup every day, so an oil cleanser is an absolute MUST in my skincare routine. That said, I never want to be left “squeaky” clean after taking it off, because that spells disaster for my dry, sensitive skin. A couple of pumps of this cleanser will completely melt even the most full-glam, waterproof makeup look off with ease. Usually, I will put a few pumps on my hands, emulsify it a bit, and then gently rub it on my face with circular motions to loosen up the makeup. Afterwards I’ll wipe it off with a warm cloth and follow up with a second cleanser to get rid of any leftover residue.

Cleansing Oil + Cream Cleanser

cleansing oil and cream cleanser by mad hippie

Aka the dream, double cleanse duo. This is my ultimate double cleanse! As a makeup artist and avid fan of a red lip, I usually have a decent amount of makeup to remove at the end of each day! So, starting with the Cleansing Oil to remove my makeup is a must! This product is like magic, 🪄 it goes on like a dream, dissolves all of my makeup, and smells delightful at the same time. A few swipes with a soft face cloth and my skin is makeup free and prepped for cleansing! The Cream Cleanser is probably my favourite cleanser of all time, big call I know, but it’s true! It is gentle, hydrating, it doesn’t sting my eyes at all (actually both cleansers don’t, which is great for really getting my mascara off!), smells amazing (Scent is a big thing for me with skincare) and leaves my skin feeling clean but without that squeaky-clean and drying feeling! 👌

The Jelly Cleanser is fantastic for removing a light “clean girl” makeup look – SPF, sunscreen, CC or BB cream and a lick of mascara. This is the cleanser I use when I’m not wearing makeup and don’t need something as heavy duty as the Oil Cleanser. It’s kind of like a less thick version of the Oil Cleanser, so perfect for those who don’t like a super-rich oil consistency. Because it’s a gel/jelly, it doesn’t leave any oily residue, so it’s the perfect second cleanser if you do a double cleanse. Your skin is left feeling moisturised and supple after using it, but super clean too!

scrub with illustrations of facial scrubs

The absolute best exfoliation I have done in a long time – my skin feels soft and smooth and it looks so fresh without any redness. Love this as a once a week treat for my skin.

Ohhh how I love a good exfoliator! After all, how can my foundation, face oils or creams work their magic when dead cells are blocking their path? My favourite exfoliant is Mad Hippie’s Microdermabrasion facial. It is a scrub and mask in one and is very gentle on my combination skin, yet effective! It is a perfect blend of physical and chemical exfoliant buffs away dull and dry skin and always leaves my skin feeling SUPER soft, smooth and glowy!

I love my weekly routine with Mad Hippie’s Microdermabrasion Facial. Being a scrub and a mask in one, it is perfect for a quick little self-care sesh. It’s very gentle and nourishing whilst still being able to unclog any pores and remove any dry/dead skin. My skin always feels so soft and smooth after using it, I have to stop myself from wanting to touch it constantly.

I have super oily skin which requires a lot of exfoliation to avoid congestion, but I’ve found that super strong and astringent exfoliators can also make my skin red and irritated. The 2 Minute Polishing mask is the best of both worlds, as it helps me to scrub away dead skin and the gunk which accumulates from being in the city every day, but also restores moisture and plumpness with oat flower and matcha green tea. Clean pores without feeling frizzled, it’s a win win. Plus, as the formula comes in a powder form to which you add water, one bottle keeps you going for forever, and you can adjust how thick and grainy you want the texture to be. Polished n’ perfect!

treat with illustrations of serums

I love a good face oil and what is not to love about this one?! The ingredient list is very impressive and I just love the way it feels on my skin. It isn’t too heavy and sits well under makeup, leaves my skin soft, hydrated and glowing! I like to apply a few drops, warm in my hands, and pat into my skin, leave it to sink in for a moment and then follow with my cream of choice to lock in all of that goodness!

I alternate this serum with Vitamin A at night to keep my skin on its toes! After using this I would wake up with the softest skin ever – glycolic acid is my skin’s equal best friend with Vitamin A.

The Vitamin C Serum gives me hydration that sinks in quickly and it sits beautifully under makeup. I love knowing that not only is this serum making my skin look better instantly, but it’s also having a cumulative effect, brightening, strengthening and protecting my skin in the long term. My skin saw a lot of sun in my teens so it can use all of the help it can get these days.

As a tired mum on the go all the time, the Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum is a must for me. I can rely on this serum to brighten and tighten my skin with little effort and maximum results. I find that the HPR and Sodium Hyaluronate help to reduce the appearance of age spots and plump the skin. I adore the price point and the benefits of this serum.

OK, Vitamin A is one of my all time favourites! I love that I can put it on overnight and wake up looking so refreshed in the morning (regardless of what the night entails haha)!

As a late-20s-something, I cannot recommend Mad Hippie’s Vitamin A Serum enough as a really accessible first foray into the world of anti-aging skincare. This serum contains a revolutionary form of Vitamin A which bypasses unnecessary metabolic processes and gets straight to the good stuff, by accelerating the renewal of skin cells and preventing the development of fine lines. I’ve easily worked it into my night-time skin routine, and it feels good to be balancing out all the sunny days spent not wearing sunscreen when I was younger! An A+ for the Vitamin A Serum from me.

moisturise with illustrations of moisturisers

As someone who has never used an eye cream before (sorry, skincare gods!) this product has completely revolutionised my skincare routine. I have been struggling with dry under eyes recently, and as someone with super sensitive skin, I was nervous about using a new product in such a sensitive area. The Mad Hippie Eye Cream is super gentle – the calming chamomile, Vitamin E and ceramides mean that not only is my eye area soothed but hydrated as well. Not only that, but any sunken-ness or bags I had in the area have completely disappeared. I like to take the cream up onto my eyelids as well as they are often a little raw after I take my eye makeup off, and I wake up with smooth, hydrated, and soothed skin in the entire area after application. I can’t recommend it enough!

I love a rich luxurious moisturiser…even when I don’t need one (my skin is dehydrated, not too dry)! I use the Triple C Night Cream morning and night because I love it so much. It sits perfectly under makeup and keeps my skin hydrated when I’m indoors with heating as the seasons change. And at night it feels so lush and super nourishing (but also sinks in quickly) as it locks in all of my fabulous Mad Hippie serums!

I still remember the first time I tried this cream. I used it before I went to bed and when I woke up, I could not believe how soft, smooth and hydrated my skin felt! My skin tends to run dry and I used to always find that I’d wake up with tight and dry skin no matter how much moisturiser I put on the night before. Not anymore with this magical cream! Not even in Winter when it feels like my skin just sucks any moisturiser up. This cream has been such a game changer!
