Indie Lee Stem Cell Serum, 30 mL - Retail Value $135.00
I have enjoyed many of the Indie Lee products I have tried, but the price tags make them very difficult for me to justify purchasing. One of the reasons I love this brand is actually the founder Indie Lee herself. She survived a brain tumor, got super interested in a healthier lifestyle, and specifically, better, safer, and healthier skincare formulations so as to avoid chemicals that could make people sick. It is a really cool founder's story that I highly recommend anyone doing a deep dive into.
Anyway, this serum is one that kind of sneaks up on you. The clear gel texture actually feels like next to nothing on your face. In fact, it is so non-descript that it would be easy to fall into the belief that this potion wasn't actually doing anything. The actives inside are antioxidant-rich and anti-aging-focused and I personally prefer to use this product at night, after a good cleanse, and before a heavy night cream. Sure, the actives inside can be found in other products – plant stem cells aren't that unusual in skincare these days, and ingredients like hyaluronic acid are (thankfully) becoming super mainstream. But almost as important as what is in this goo is what isn't. The whole ingredient list is only 16 items long and ridiculously thoughtful and clean. So, while I may not have the coil to justify a repurchase, I feel giddy at this being inside the box this month.

Indie Lee CoQ-10 Toner, 30 mL - Listed Value $10.00
As a toner enthusiast hoarder, I was a little bummed this wasn't a full-size product. It is all good though, because this toner is creamier than most and a little goes a long way. I recommend spraying into your palms and patting onto your face, as the nozzle isn't exactly the "misting" type. I found that out the hard way. Inside this bottle is some skin-loving stuff! Though this boasts another super short, 12-ingredient list, my favorites were Q10 which is an excellent antioxidant, hyaluronic acid (hello hydration), and roman chamomile, a soothing plant extract. You can use a toner like this throughout the day, but if you want to build it into a routine, try it after cleansing and before a serum.
Verdict: This month's The Clean Beauty Box was worth $145 and delivered a brand I would absolutely love to add more of to my routine. Until then though, I am thrilled to see it in a box. Ingredients that perform, a great founder story and beautiful packaging make this line a total delight. I can't wait to use this serum more over time and really see what happens.
