The bundles are usually cheaper than buying the products separately, too. You can also choose to buy the Full House Gift Box, with all 11, full-sized products included. How much is delivery? Inside the box, each of the three skincare products from the Award-winners Bundle were wrapped securely in brown paper to save on plastic bubble wrap.

Like most UpCircle products, this item is created with repurposed Arabica coffee grounds from real London cafes. It also contains chamomile and shea butter to nourish and moisturize skin, and rosehip and geranium to give the product its signature floral blend. This product formulation is suitable for sensitive skin – in fact, chamomile is known for its skin soothing abilities. If you love the idea of promoting a circular economy and using products that reduce food waste, Upcircle Beauty has a growing range of skin and body care products that salvage coffee, chia, ginger, date seeds and more that would otherwise be discarded. They even make candles. If you love the idea of your skincare smelling like coffee, then look for the Upcircle products with upcycled coffee like their Face Serum. The Upcircle Night Cream smells like sweet buttercream. As previously mentioned, I tested UpCircle's 'Award-winners Bundle', which includes three things: a Cleansing Face Balm, Body Cream and Face Serum. The “Best Moisturizer” 2021 winner by the Beauty Shortlist Awards is made with finely-ground powder of discarded argan shells, a natural by-product of the argan oil industry and rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, cocoa butter and blood orange. UpCircle reuses and repurposes leftover ingredients like coffee granules, apricot stones and date seeds to be used in its skincare, rather than see it go to waste. Since it launched, its managed to repurpose more than 350 tonnes of ground coffee in its products, which is pretty impressive.

Rewards For Life

How much to use: Just a few drops of Serum are needed for best results- between two and four should be plenty!

I've been using it twice a day for just over two weeks now, and have seen a noticeable difference to my skin's plumpness: it feels softer, looks brighter and ultimately more healthy.

The great thing is that UpCircle's refills are 20% less in price than the usual products, so it's cost-effective, too. The company recommends that the first time you light it, you should allow the wax to melt evenly across the top so it reaches both edges of the jar. This will ensure your candle does not burn into a tunnel on your next use. After just a few days of using UpCircle's skincare, my skin felt more nourished thank to the brand's Face Serum, and plumper and clearer thanks to my twice-daily use of its apricot-stone Cleansing Balm. The Upcircle Face Moisturizer is a light to medium weight moisturizer that’s creamy yet still breathable. It has somewhat of a moussy texture and smells quite herbal. Plus, you can mix and match UpCircle's bundles, too, building your own to make sure you get the best of most worlds if needs be.

The brand repurposes excess and leftover ingredients from manufacturing such as coffee granules and apricot seeds, and makes them a key ingredient in its products, saving on waste. Absolutely! As I mentioned above, UpCircle (a play on words from the term 'upcycle' - geddit?) is one of the most sustainable skincare brands I've come across. The pioneering brand offers a fuss-free, budget-friendly skincare range that comes in glass pots and bottles that can be returned and refilled at a discounted price. This article will serve as your go-to resource to determine whether the brand’s products will be worth your time and money.I hasten to say it in case I jinx it, but I've also noticed a slight reduction in the appearance of my pores, and my cheeks look fuller and softer, with wrinkles looking less deep after a stressful week.
