Day drops serum.

Goes on beautifully, and disappears on the skin. I bought this for under my makeup. My other sunscreens are too heavy for under makeup. It's a lovely product.

Amazing Mask, Esp for Winter

I use this mask pretty regularly and I think it's important to use regularly because the results are way better. I even use this at night sometimes because the air gets so dry and I wake up with the fine lines around my mouth very hydrated and not as intense looking. Always a great product, I am a customer for life.

Wonderful Product !

I was amazed how the facial removed dead skin immediately! I have only used slightly abrasive products before. There is no comparison. I will continue to use the Flash Facial and spread the word. My sister clued me and another sister in on your product and I am grateful.

Thank you.

Amazing for protecting my skin

I live in an area with higher urban pollution and very gusty winds. The blue butterfly balm has been a stable in my routine for about 3 years now and it’s only one of about 2-4 products I use, alongside the omega oil and a simply moisturiser and retinol. Couldn’t recommend more if you have sensitive and dryer skin like myself :)

my go to face wash for 8 years running!!

my absolute favorite!! i am never without!! i have mostly dry skin , sometimes oily when i exercise in summer months but usually very dry!! most acne control products dry my skin out even more and there isn't enough moisturizer on the planet that can save me!! i love the silver clarifying because it keeps my skin clear and feeling clean without drying me out. i can use it whenever i need to without concern i will have to figure out a way to add moisture back in.

first time trying, excellent results!!

i've been using SD products since 2018 and my go to face wash is the silver clarifying. however, these past few months where i live have had lots of fires and pollution and my skin was breaking out extra hard! i tried this face wash in a small version to see if it would help and it absolutely did! i am using it every other time and it has cleared up my seasonal skin problem beautifully! it is a little more drying than the silver i found which is why i am using every other but i have very naturally dry skin. i am very pleased with the results of clearing up breakouts not based on regular acne causes!

New holy grail mask!

Wow!! I couldn’t love this mask more. You need a just a small anymt/thin layer and the results are amazing! The complexion is bright and dewy plus the rose gold glow stays on even after you wash the mask off. Iliterally used this mask, applied my skincare, and gone out for the night without a stitch of makeup - and still got compliments.

Really great cleanser for acne

I tried this cleanser and with the addition of having the colloidal silver…the wash is very effective against acne. I also think if you or your family members, like children or anyone gets pink eye/conjunctivitis; it’s extremely helpful to clear that condition up.

Could also be used to clean open wounds.

For for acne, a definite must!

Please Don't Change

I've been a customer now for about 10 years and the products don't change which is amazing, and a lot of thought is put into anything new that is introduced. Everything works within your Pre-Existing routine so you don't have to change up a lot and there's so many versatile options for different types of skin. I don't plan to stick a bunch of injections and to my face and the serums that you guys make I think offer a nice gradual graceful aging process to occur but it keeps your skin feeling nice and glowing.

Nice Addition

I had always wanted to try this and while I don't use it throughout the day like it suggests as a refresher, I like using it before I go to bed or after a long day of work. It doesn't dry out my skin and I wouldn't say I have massive breakouts but this does feel nice and refreshing on my skin. I think the rose hydrating toner is still a better choice for me because I can use it with makeup but I would keep a small bottle of this around.

my go to fall - spring hydrator

the perfect moisturizer for my skin in all seasons but summer (then i switch to the clarifying hydrator bc ya girl is a sweater haha). it is lightweight going on and instantly hydrating and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. i also use eye need and they blend together perfectly. once both set, i use super lift on my eyes too. what i really love is that the nano keeps me young without lines but also does not cause me to break out. i won't use anything else!! does that face look like she is 37 years old?!? absolutely not!! actually a 16 year old asked for my number and said he thought i was 19!! when i told him i was too old for him and said i had 20 years on him- he said "OMG YOU ARE OLDER THAN MY MOM?!? either she looks really bad or you look really good"HA! that is the Sonya Dakar magic!!

life changing skin care routine!!! the best best BEST there is anywhere, worth every single penny!!

I have been a diehard Sonya Dakar stan since 2018. my love affair with SD products began with a google search looking for high quality, clean ingredients, natural products that target both anti aging as well as combination sometimes acne prone skin depending on the season. I was turning 27 and very unhappy with what was available. I have always felt that prevention of wrinkles and fine lines is key in anti aging and have been using anti aging products since I was in high school ( I am an actual skin care fanatic). the problems were that anti aging products weren't breathable enough for the active person i was so i was still having break outs and felt like i was sweating off way too thick product!!

I decided to test out first with eye need and the nano clarifying hydrator. in just one use i could feel the difference and immediately went and bought the silver wash. eventually i added the retinu and in the winter i switched to plain nano hydrator bc my skin gets drier. 10 years later, that is still my core skin routine but now I also use the rose toner, super lift for my eyes, flash facial, and often choose to order to get the samples of face masks and balms (like the blue butterfly balm). I also use the omega sculpting and overnight every so often but with my skin type i can only do this 1-2 times per week. I also use the face roller, the spf chapstick, and I just had my first sample of the omega oil with fig and i know i will be using that as well!!

my skin is GLORIOUS! i get asked regularly "what is your secret", how at the age of 37 i look younger than 25 and i say "it is no secret!!! it is Sonya Dakar!!" i swear my skin stopped aging ten years ago and actually these products shaved off 2 years from then. i would rather cut off my own arm than use any other skin care line on my face!! i say this with certainty bc one time in 2022 when i was visiting a friend, i ran out of my nano hydrator two days before i returned home after miscalculating how the change in weather would increase my moisturizing needs... she let me borrow her "super expensive LA face cream" for two days and I kid you not i saw a difference in my face. it was the first time in 4 years i put something other than Sonya on my skin and it was the very last time. my skin looked dull, and her stuff that "cost a fortune" and had "flecks of real gold in it" (eye roll) was so goopy and chemically it made lines show up on my face that weren't there AND my skin broke out!! i said NEVER AGAIN! i was already committed to Sonya only, but that was a scare that i never want to repeat. so now, wherever i go, i make sure i have more than enough bc once you go Sonya, you can't use anything else!!

i also love the Sonya Circle rewards program!! i am ALWAYS using up my products, so i like to have at least one back up at the ready bc as i said , i will not put ANYTHING else on my face but Sonya (read horror story above)!! i am on the text list so whenever there is a "spend a certain amount, get free gift" i always stock up on my essentials and feel like a kid at christmas with my free gift!! every single free gift has been wonderful and i still use if it wasn't a product bc those are long gone haha !!

i wear my silky robe when i am getting ready (it is so luxurious feeling and i feel so fancy getting all jushed up- like a woman in the 50s at her vanity putting on her make up... very that vibe!!)

i love my sonya sleep tee (it is the perfect 3/4 length v neck mid thigh in breathable cotton tee so there is no bunching when you toss and turn AND it's so cute in pink with "I love my beauty sleep" bc isn't that the truth). also, it's very flattering somehow? i feel so cute and my ex boyfriend used to call it my "sexy sleep dress" which always made me laugh.

I swear to the old gods and the new that my neck and jawline look tighter with the sonya two sided roller, i did not expect what that little tool would do as a massager. i actually also use it on my arm after i've had a tattoo removal session and it has healed bc it heals thru the lymphatic system and usually my arm is very swollen for 1-2 weeks. ive been in the process of tattoo removal for 5 years and this year i got the roller and after seeing the effect on my face and neck i thought "why not" and it really works!! it takes my arm swelling down in 3 days!!!! so now whenever anything is swollen or puffy , that little roller is used and poof!!

and of course i love my mini masks/face washes/etc i get when the free gift is a set of minis!! i love having the option of which to use based on what my skin is going thru!!! also i am a diehard silver wash but every so often it is nice to use the sensei and biriti but not often enough where id buy a full size. so it is convenient to have them available.

and all the free gift bags they come in are so well made!!! i keep them all and use them when i am traveling.

and then i get rewards points and can either get money off my order or my face wash free?!? yes please!!!!

furthermore, customer service is wonderful!! in the ten years i have been using sonya dakar, only twice has an order arrived and something was wrong. the first, a mini was sent instead of the standard size that i paid for. the second, the omega activator gel leaked in shipping and the container was half empty when it arrived. when i emailed the SD team, they took care of both of these right away and sent me what i ordered / a replacement for the damaged product at no extra charge and let me keep the first!! what service!!

i tell every single woman who asks me about my skin that it is Sonya Dakar and worth every single penny. Miss Sonya deserves an award for her skincare line. it is the absolute best.

I only wish that Sonya came out with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body oil/moisturizer as well!! cmon Sonya!! let's get SD products to the tips of our toes to the ends of our hair!!! (can you tell I am a diehard??)

since i began using Sonya, i became disabled in a car crash and my income was cut in half on a disability income and that has not changed a single thing in my choice to buy her products. actually, the car crash that disabled me was so stressful and the recovery was wrought with pain that i know the only reason i do not look like i've lived thru the trauma i have is because of Sonya. her line is worth every single penny and I would rather be thrifty in every other area of my life so i can keep my skin looking the way it does. you only have one face and Sonya makes sure it is beautiful your whole life!! that's why i want sonya hair care products. i also invest in my hair care and ive become unhappy with what is being offered elsewhere. please sonya!!! please give the SD diehards what we want and need!! sonya for the whole body and hair as well as face!!

i know this review is essentially a short novel but that is just how passionate and enthusiastic i am about sonya dakar.

thank you sonya!!! you keep me beautiful!!!

The only reason why I bought this bundle is because the other sunscreen was out of stock. For my dry skin, this particular product was not it. It’s too runny and not hydrating. But I do love that it doesn’t leave a white cast and it’s somewhat blurring. I also the idea of a bundle because the toners and chapsticks are amazing!
