Keys Soulcare sent me a jar of this and I almost rolled my eyes. Another celebrity cream promising “inner peace”? Please.
But then I slapped it on after a retinol burn and my face stopped screaming. That got my attention.
It’s $28 for 1.7 oz — mid-range drugstore money. The claim is “skin transformation” via Ayurvedic ingredients and skin barrier repair. I tried it because my winter face was drier than a Saltine cracker.
The Texture
Thick balm that melts into oil. Weirdly satisfying.
The Scent
Lavender + sage. Very spa. Not for fragrance haters.
The Packaging
Heavy glass jar. Pretty on your shelf. Annoying to travel with.

Surprisingly legit for a celeb brand. The formula leans hard on Ayurvedic staples — think soothing oils and barrier-builders. No trendy retinol or vitamin C here.
- Saffron: Brightens without irritation — shockingly gentle
- Tulsi (Holy Basil): Calms redness. Works better than my prescription azelaic acid did
- Shea Butter: Actually sinks in. Not greasy
- Squalane: The MVP. Locks everything down

Thick as frosting. I expected a greasy mess. Instead it melted into my skin in about 15 seconds — no joke. Left a dewy finish, not a slick one.
Week three: My forehead flakes disappeared. But it broke out my oily chin. This is not a universal experience.

My skin looked calmer. Less red. More… even. But my fine lines? Still there. It’s a hydration bomb, not a time machine.
It won’t transform your skin. But it will make your angry face shut up — and that’s honestly worth the $28.
