TOP PICK!!
The Matinee Gel Cleanser

TOP PICK!! The Matinee Gel Cleanser

This is my all-time Favorite morning cleanser and my MOST repurchased item from Jordan. I have bought countless tubes and I don't seem myself ever stopping. It is my husband's favorite too! Great pH (5.26), silky gel texture that has Cushiony slip to it. Has just a tiny bit of salicylic acid to help keep skin congestion at bay but is gentle enough for me to use it every single day. TIP: Jordan sells travel sizes of all of his cleansers. It is a great way to try things AND it is a great way to have travel sizes for trips.

Another TOP pick!
Moisture Recovery Cream

Another TOP pick! Moisture Recovery Cream

This is a great cream to really give skin TLC and also lots of moisture. I apply this on top of my retinoid and I can still feel the moisture on my skin the next morning. AND an added bonus is that I have found that it helps to reduce some redness in my cheeks (which I think is because they used a really high quality and high concentration of Ceramide NP). I used this on only half of my face, and the next morning the side that I had this on was more hydrated and less splotchy and red. I got the jumbo size and will also use it on my hands. Its just an amazing cream. Dare I say I get better results than when I use Skinceuticals 242 cream which I use in a similar way in routines.

JORDAN SAMUEL SKIN | Mandelic Exfoliating Mask

JORDAN SAMUEL SKIN | Mandelic Exfoliating Mask

This is a mandelic exfoliating clay mask but it doesn't dry down or get flakey (which I love about it) and it never feel stripping afterward…probably because the ingredient list is front-loaded with humectants before the clay, has lactic acid (which is hydrating) and a soothing blend. And the coco-glucoside is a nice addition. I like to use it when I have some breakouts but I don't want to use a mask that is too aggressive or stripping. I've been using it about once a week and I wear it for 20-30 min

Antioxidant Treatment Emulsion

Antioxidant Treatment Emulsion

I’ve been using it as a lightweight moisturizer bc I’m in humid Florida and layer other hydrating things underneath. But you could use it before you use your regular moisturizer. I use it daily to help provide aox protection and to strengthen skin overall. And the peptide he included helps to reduce redness which I like

The Performance Cream

The Performance Cream

This is a great everyday moisturizer— helps control shine and I love how it’s like a peptide serum in cream form. This is a great option if you are trying to get that special someone in your life to step up their skincare routine without adding additional steps. No scent. Lasts a long time too!

The Matinee Cream Cleanser

If you don't have acne prone (or prone to congestion skin) and it is dry, then this might be your preferred cleanser pick over the gel matinee. (I recommend picking up travel sizes of the cleansers to try them so you can find your favorite). Jordan sent this to me before the launch and I loved it. I finished the first tube and am on my second. Quick tip; it is also great as a mask for some hydration! It smells faintly of clay and I love how I can keep massaging it on my skin and it doesn’t disappear like some other cream cleansers. Great pH (5.5) and convenient packaging. Two thumbs up!

The Performance Eye Gel

Buy this if you have super dry under eyes, or you like to use reusable or even disposable eye masks. This is fabulous to apply before you use an eye mask to really soak in the hydrating ingredients. I find this to stay a bit too tacky for me to use in the AM but it’s very plumping and it’s HUGE so it will last a LONG time.

JORDAN SAMUEL SKIN | Hydrate The Mist

Such a beautiful, hydrating mist. I spray this in between serum layers or before an oil. If I want a real treat I’ll even mist my body. TIP: order the travel size and bring it with you on flights. If you want a hydrating layer, I would pick between this or the hydrate serum, based on whether you prefer a serum or a mist. I find the mist super versatile.

Hydrate Facial Serum

My first purchase from JSS And I still love it. Helps to plump up dehydration lines and layers beautifully

After Show Treatment Cleanser

This is the OG cleanser that Jordan developed to help remove stage makeup (he was a professional ballerina)— apply to dry skin and massage before adding water & washing off. It has oils to break down makeup, light emulsifiers to lift up the grime and fruit acids to exfoliate the dead skin cells (which can also hold on to makeup). It also leaves moisture behind on the skin and smells like what I imagine an Italian vacation would smell like. I love it as a mask (I’ll mix in some of his hydrate serum and a drop or two of a face oil and leave on while I take a bath)

The Skincare Cloth

These make great gifts! They are super soft and are a great size (so many wash clothes are too small for my liking).
