Word on the street (and by “street” I mean across all social media), is that Solawave has a new skincare line. 👀 They’re most known for their viral skincare Wand, so I wasn’t sure how they would stand apart from the other 20+ brands that ALSO just released skincare lines.
That said, I’ve been absolutely LOVING my Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand over the last few months and have experienced less puffiness and reduced appearance of blemishes and fine lines as a result of using it, so I was definitely curious about Solawave’s Solabiome line. Was it just as good? Here’s what I discovered:
It nourishes your skin’s microbiome 🫧
The Solabiome collection boasts four products that claim to nourish and protect the skin's microbiome. Why is protecting your skin’s microbiome important, you ask? A healthy microbiome means your skin can defend itself against stressors like pollution, dirt, sunscreen, bacteria, and sun damage. A thriving microbiome = skin that is hydrated, healthy, and ready to soak up skincare! 🧽
The Solabiome collection includes a cleanser, a mist, a serum, and a moisturizer, all formulated with prebiotic and probiotic ingredients like Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Beta-Glucan, and Sparassis Crispa Extract.
I also found that these products are clean, cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free—a triple win for conscious consumers. Okay, so we’re off to a good start. But how well do they perform? 🐰
Say goodbye to that dry, stripped feeling and hello to clear, bouncy skin 👋
I started with the Hydrating Gel Cleanser ($24). It aims to be a soothing, hydrating foaming cleanser that preps the skin for product absorption without stripping the microbiome. This coconut-based cleanser includes ultra-hydrating goodness like 1.2% Solabiome™ and Pro-Vitamin B5, and I couldn’t wait to try it! 🥥
Honestly, my initial skepticism wavered after experiencing how smoothly the gel lathered up. The gentle formula cleansed without stripping, and it left my skin feeling refreshed. Promising start, I have to say!
Up your skin’s glow factor with the Refreshing Jelly Mist ✨
Next up, the Refreshing Jelly Mist ($32). This mist promises instant hydration with a blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and microbiome-balancing synbiotics. At first glance, I wondered how this thick, gel-like consistency could go through a spray bottle!
But as I spritzed it onto my face, I was pleasantly surprised at how fine the mist was. It landed with a weightless, delicate touch, sinking into my skin effortlessly. The immediate burst of hydration was visible right away, and I found myself reaching for it throughout the day to refresh and revive my skin, even with makeup on. 🌊
Want plump, ultra-hydrated skin? Right this way 🥑
Now, let's talk about the Plumping Peptide Serum ($38). This serum combines hydrating hyaluronic acid with plumping avocado peptides, which I know and love as an esthetician. It has a mild, clean scent and glides on effortlessly. It soaked into my thirsty skin so fast, leaving no tacky residue. My skin instantly felt more plump and looked radiant. Nice!
Kiss the appearance of fine lines goodbye with the Nourishing Moisturizer 💋
The last step in the regime is the Nourishing Moisturizer ($36). This moisturizer is packed with collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid to promote dewy radiance while reducing the appearance of fine lines. It’s a very rich, creamy formula that sunk into my skin like butter.
My skin looked positively radiant, and it's the perfect balance of hydration without being too heavy. It didn’t feel greasy or break me out. Huge win!
Solawave, you’ve officially won me over 🤩
I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised at the performance of the Solabiome collection, and it has earned a coveted space in my skincare routine. Solawave's dedication to ingredients that pack a punch, combined with their commitment to being cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free, spoke volumes to me, especially as a consumer with celiac.
So, if you, like me, have had your reservations about jumping on the Solabiome hype train, I urge you to give it a chance. Plus, they have a 30 day money-back guarantee, and great customer service. Give them a try, and if it doesn’t work for you, they have easy, free returns. Who knows? You might just find yourself blown away, just like I did!
