Beautycounter Products I’ve Repurchased [YouTube]

Straight up… I KNOW this post and video isn’t going to be for everyone. Some people will never have an open enough mind to ever try a product sold through a direct retail business – even if it’s one that also has brick and mortar stores throughout the country and is healthier for you – and that’s ok. I have DOZENS of other posts and videos that aren’t about Beautycounter, and dozens more in the future that won’t be, either. But if you’re here (hopefully) because you LOVE Beautycounter like me – and cleaner beauty – then I hope this video helps you decide on some new things you may love! Let’s get into my Beautycounter products I’ve repurchased…

I’ve been using Beautycounter products for about a year now… but I officially joined the movement in August and have since tried SO MANY products! I’d say I’ve tried a good 85% of them at this point (there’s still some bath/body products I haven’t tried, and the men’s line, of course).

As a devout beauty junkie, I’ve been so impressed with nearly everything I’ve tried. Naturally though, there’s a few things that aren’t my favorite for my preferences/skin type, but that happens with any brand.

However, these 12 items are ones I’ve repurchased AT LEAST twice!

a little about beautycounter

Beautycounter is a cleaner, safer beauty company founded in 2013. Their mission is to get safer products into the hands of everyone.

Founder, Gregg Renfrew, learned that the last time the U.S. passed major legislation in the beauty industry was 1938. Since then, over 80,000 new chemicals have been added to personal care products while only 20% of them have been tested for human safety.

Beautycounter is leading the way to help change laws, and takes 100 consultants to the Hill every two years to lobby for change, meeting with state legislators and congress.

Currently in the US, we only ban approximately 30 ingredients in personal care products. The E.U. bans over 1,300. Beautycounter bans 1,800.

In Dec. 2019, Renfrew was the first beauty brand CEO to testify in front of congress about the lack of regulation in the industry.

Beautycounter is sold online, in select brick and mortar stores nationwide (NYC, California, Denver, Nantucket, more to come), online, and through our 50,000 brand consultants (like me).

Renfrew believed this story was best told person-to-person, and feels that our team of consultants is who fuels this mission by sharing our stories and the importance of voting with your dollars and choosing safer products when you can.

• Tint Skin Hydrating Foundation – I fell in love with this foundation very early on – before I was a consultant. I love the lightweight feel, the beautiful build-ability and the natural finish on my skin. I also feel that wearing this formula has actually improved my skin over time. I wear shade Honey in the spring/summer (or self tanned) and Sand in the winter (un-self tanned).
• Countertime Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence –  This product is used after cleansing morning and night by dispensing 3-4 drops into your balm and pressing into the skin. It helps minimize pores, as well as, pulls serums and other treatments that follow into the skin deeper.
• Countertime Tetrapeptide Radiance Serum – All of the Countertime products contain the proprietary ‘Retinatural’ complex, which mainly features Bakuchiol – a proven plant based alternative to retinol that is non irritating, non-sun-sensitive, pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. I use this serum in the morning to help with fine lines.
• Countermatch Intense Moisture Serum – I’ve always been a huge fan of hyaluronic acid because it’s a great skin hydrator and plumper! As someone with more oily skin (but still aging… aren’t we all?), hyaluronic acid is wonderful because it’s non-greasy/heavy yet helps bind water to the skin. This serum – which I use in the evening – uses two forms of hyaluronic acid to perform double duty keeping my skin youthful, bouncy and balanced.
• Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion – I use this lotion at night and although this isn’t a product you’ll notice quite an immediate difference using (I mean, it’s a lotion…), I will say I started to notice my skin was just more even-toned and less irritable once switching to this formula. It contains a technology that actually helps your skin’s barrier function healthier over time… rather than just laying on top of the skin.
• Countertime Eye Renewal Eye Cream – WOW. This product is definitely in my top 5! If you  struggle with hereditary dark circles that also have more of a sunken effect (NOT puffy), then you need this eye cream. I use it at night and have taken before/after photos for myself and was blown away.
• Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm – I say this OVER AND OVER. I HATE makeup removing wipes or even cotton rounds/makeup remover. I feel they’re SO abrasive on the skin and can contribute to breaking down elasticity in the skin… contributing to fine lines/wrinkles. I much prefer oil/balm cleansers to remove makeup and this one is so luxurious. It’s also a huge multitasker. Use it to remove/break down makeup, use it as a deeply hydrating overnight mask, use it on dry spots, on eczema and to smooth the ends of hair. Plus, travel-friendly because it’s a solid!
• Counter+ Charcoal Mask – This mask does an amazing job at keeping my breakouts at bay, while also keeping my skin texture smooth and soft. It uses the purest form of Binchotan charcoal sourced from Japan with a small amount of exfoliating acids to detoxify and refine pores. I use it 2x/week.
• Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel – The product that started it all for me! This was the product that convinced me to join Beautycounter. No joke. I signed up the day after I tried this and fell in love, haha. I love a good chemical exfoliator, and this one does it SO gently.. you wake up glowing, skin feeling like a baby butt, acne healing, dark spots/fine lines softening… and texture smoothed.
• Sugar Body Scrub, Lemongrass – A little bit of a splurge/pamper product, but one I missed SO much once I ran out of it! First of all, who doesn’t love the smell of lemongrass!? I like to use this weekly to help keep my self tan looking even and natural, but it also has helped with those little bumps a lot of us get on the backs of our arms.
• Melting Body Balm, Monoi – The next two (balm and lotion) are in combination with the body scrub. After I scrub, I have been mixing a dollop of the balm with the body lotion to moisturize my skin and OMG, this trio is really helping heal the skin on my body I definitely neglect… I also can’t believe how this trio is helping those little bumps on the back of my arm. The body balm is SUCH A TREAT. It smells like vacation – gardenias dipped in coconut!
• Countermatch Adaptive Body Lotion – As you read above, I use this lotion in combo with the balm.. and I love it because it’s totally unscented and family friendly. It has similar technology as the face lotion in terms of healing and improving the performance of skin over time and I love how fast absorbing it is.
