Wildly successful in the UK, Rodial is gaining more presence on the luxury skincare circuit in the US. Taking center stage in my bathroom recently, the STEMCELL super-food cleanser and facial oil are saving the skin in the midst of a never-ending polar vortex. Nourishing and comforting, these two steps help my dehydrated skin confused by the severe outdoor temperatures, indoor heat, and copious amounts of wine that help pass the time while attempting to escape the elements…
Packaged in a ginormous purple tub, the STEMCELL super-food cleanser is a rich and creamy balm that you apply to dry skin. Paired with an included muslin cloth, removing it can also be amplified with gentle exfoliation. This full bodied formula is powered by Rodial’s advanced stem cell technology and is infused with antioxidants, Coconut Oil, Rose Hip Oil, and Coco Butter. It melts away makeup, grime, and pollution and transforms dull and parched skin with an instant and lasting punch of moisture. Day and night.
Combining high-performance cleansing with a one of a kind sensory experience, the Rodial super-food cleanser has a subtle and pleasant floral aroma. Perhaps it comes from the Rose Stem Cells or the Rose Hip Oil, but the barely there scent reminds of one of my all time favorite retired face cream — Impactive from Lancome. Clearly, I am one of the very few in the world who admit to enjoying fragrance in skin care. As a recovering Icona Pop fan, the words that come to mind are: I don’t care, I love it!
Rodial’s STEMCELL super-food facial oil consists of Marula, Rose Hip, Babassu and Peach Kernel Oils and is combined with skin rejuvenating Plant Extracts. Rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A, B5, C, and E as well as Omega 3, 6, and 9, this nourishing and restoring potion is not a dry skin exclusive. Imparting immediate glow, this facial oil also protects the skin against environmental aggressors and fights wrinkles and dehydration.
As with most oils, the Rodial gem offers great flexibility. Light enough to be used during the day, it can be used under your SPF moisturizer or cocktailed into a serum or your foundation for a boost of dewiness. At night, it can be worn alone or under a treatment cream. It absorbs quickly and so I’ve been enjoying it on slightly damp skin both day and night in this horrid weather. In this way, the silky facial oil locks in moisture and feeds all the fancy nutrients deep inside the skin. The scent is equally fabulous.
Having had great experiences with the Dragon’s Blood range from Rodial, the STEMCELL items seem to be equally impressive at times when my skin is craving soothing moisture. My wishlist grows significantly with each editorial I spot that features Royal and celeb favorites from the 24K Gold, Diamond or Bee Venom lines. One day!
