Cocokind,当有影响力的人Jeannette Ogden(又名A.K.A.@shutthekaleupon Instagram, created a face mask with the brand. Following the launch, the brand caught my attention almost every day with colorful product ads, from highlight sticks to moisturizers. I’m a sucker for treating myself to new skincare items, but also skeptical of the beauty industry (some marketing claims are seriously eyebrow-raising). That said, I had started slowly swapping out my skincare products for more "sustainable" options and I had a great feeling that Cocokind could fill their shoes—so began my research on the buzz-worthy brand.

色彩鲜艳的Cocokind品牌声称自己是一个有良心的美容品牌。

Cocokind is both women- and minority-owned, and its advertisements are inclusive—from skin type to race to gender. Those are all selling points for me, in addition to liking that the company is transparent about what ingredients are used in each product, and that the company claims to be sustainable, vegan, and affordable. Many sustainable skincare brands lean on the pricier side, but Cocokind is relatively affordable, with most products ranging from $15 to $25.

What I ordered from Cocokind

My Cocokind collection has taken over my medicine cabinet.

Once I decided Cocokind’s line aligned with my values, I ordered a wide variety of products to give everything a try. I waited until I was low on my skincare go-tos, like moisturizer and face wash, so the timing was right. My first order contained theCelery Duo和the Superfood Starter Kit, the latter of which has since been discontinued. Then, over the course of several purchases, I got three face masks, two moisturizers, two toners, a highlighter, a moisture stick, a cleanser, a sunscreen, and a pore refining concentrate. (I told you ... I like splurging on skincare.)

I was thrilled when the first delivery arrived without unnecessary plastic packaging. Some of the items even come in glass bottles or jars that are easy to clean and repurpose. I jumped right into my new routine and soon had new skincare must-haves. You'll find my review of each product I tried below, starting with my absolute favorites.

1. Texture Smoothing Cream

The Cocokind Texture Smoothing Cream is the best moisturizer I've ever used.

What it claims:The质地平滑霜声称用鳞状果实保湿,并用“芹菜取代复合物”改善皮肤的质地。Cocokind的网站说,定期使用将减少毛孔,细纹和粗糙斑块的外观。它也应该感觉到超轻质和丝滑的光滑,它声称可以降低皮肤的“易感性损失”,使皮肤保持露水和明亮。

What it’s like to use:This is my favorite product of all the items in my medicine cabinet, hands down. The moisturizing cream is lightweight and cool-to-touch, which made it my go-to all summer and fall. My skin felt hydrated and taut without feeling sticky or oily. I think this is the perfect weight for an all-around moisturizer—not so thin that your skin still feels dry, but not so thick that it feels gloppy or heavy. It also helped the dry patches on my cheeks and chin to clear up. I highly recommend layering this product under sunscreen or makeup as part of yourskincare routine

2. MyMatcha All-Over Moisture Stick

Cocokind mymatcha全面的水分棒是随身携带的水分所必需的。

What it claims:Cocokind’s site says the three-ingredient, multi-useMyMatcha All-Over Moisture Stick水合裂开的嘴唇,减轻眼圈和浮肿的外观。使用椰子油,蜂蜡和抹茶粉,这种棍子声称可以滋养皮肤,并在皮肤和外部天气和压力之间产生保护障碍。

What it’s like to use:MyMatcha棒对于保持我的皮肤在旅途中保持水分和柔软至关重要。我用棍棒用作汽车中的润唇膏,在我的下面进行修饰face mask。我还喜欢在指尖上擦一些水分棒,并将其涂在我的脸颊或眼睛下面,以保护我的脸部免受痛苦的寒冷(或当我的皮肤看起来钝的早晨)。我有一根棍子将近一年,但是购买了第二杆,以始终保存在我的钱包里。只需9美元,我很乐意购买一对夫妇,始终可以使用这种多功能产品。我唯一的技巧是将其存放在凉爽的地方,因为如果在阳光直射的阳光下,椰子油会在炎热的日子里融化。

3. Sea Kale Clay Mask

认为我受到影响;Cocokind Sea Kale Clay面膜很棒!

What it claims:TheSea Kale Clay Maskclaims to improve the texture of your skin, remove excess oil, and reduce the appearance of pores. The site also says your skin will look more youthful after wearing this mask for 20 minutes three to four times a week. Dozens of reviewers say it’s the best mask they’ve ever used.

What it’s like to use:Initially, this mask sold out. Once Cocokind added it back to the site, I bought two, knowing (or hoping) it’d be as great as other products I had tried up to that point. I was right! The mask is lightweight on its own, but can be mixed with the brand’schlorophyll powderfor a thicker mask and added purifying and skin-calming benefits. Unlike many masks, this one doesn’t crack and tighten on the skin as it dries. Instead, it remains lightweight-feeling and still allows you to raise your eyebrows or smile without discomfort. I like to use a light layer two to three times a week and remove it by steaming my face with hot water from a wet towel. The mask washes off easily once it’s absorbed some of the steam and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. I don't know if I can attribute the reduction in acne to this mask or if it was the Cocokind routine as a whole, but I believe this mask is a major factor in why my skin has stayed clear and smooth.

4. Oil to Milk Cleanser

You can use the Cocokind Oil to Milk Cleanser two ways.

What it claims:TheOil to Milk Cleanserhas a smooth texture that gently removes makeup and hydrates skin. The cleanser works two ways: You can apply it directly to dry skin and use it as an oil cleanser, which is ultra-moisturizing and great for clearing your skin of makeup and sweat. Or, you can rub the cleanser between wet hands to activate the “milky” consistency. Watch this“how to use” videofrom Cocokind to see the cleanser in action.

What it’s like to use:起初我并不喜欢这个清洁剂,因为它佤邦s a bit too oily. But after I realized the cleanser can be used two ways, I was able to alter it to better suit my skin. In the mornings, I like to wet my hands before massaging the cleanser into my skin because it’s a gentle way to wake my skin up for the day but still remove any product I wore overnight, like my moisturizer. Then, in the evenings, I use the cleanser as an oil to clear away makeup and sweat from the day. I tend to prefer the milky version, so I like to keep it in the shower for my morning ritual rather than my medicine cabinet.

5. Matcha Face Moisturizer

The Matcha Face Moisturizer is a lifesaver for dry skin.

What it claims:TheMatcha Face Moisturizeris great for colder months. The cream claims to add hydration, reduce redness with matcha tea powder, and improve skin elasticity with fatty acids from green tea extract. Cocokind reformulated the moisturizer in 2020, and reviewers like the new product better, as it has a creamier consistency now. It’s marketed as a moisturizer for dry or mature skin, as well as a great defense for wintery weather conditions.

What it’s like to use:这种保湿霜是我最近的购买,我非常感谢我得到的。Though I’m not going outside much these days, my skin still tends to feel dry due to the air in my house and the lack of vitamin D. I apply a thick layer of moisturizer every morning and it absorbs quickly without feeling heavy, which I love. If your skin gets dry, this moisturizer is a lifesaver. Both the Matcha Face and the Texture Smoothing Cream make for great moisturizers, but I wouldn’t use them at the same time. This one is better for really dry skin, but I don’t use it year-round as I do with the latter.

6. Daily SPF

The Cocokind Daily SPF makes wearing sunscreen every day easier.

What it claims: Cocokind'sDaily SPF是一种矿物(也称为物理)防晒霜,而不是化学药品,这意味着它位于皮肤顶部并偏转紫外线,并且具有SPF32。它声称使用使用reef-safezinc oxide, blue phytoplankton, and microalgae to protect skin against UVA and UVB rays,蓝光, 和pollutiondamage. That means that this sunscreen won’t harm ocean life and protects against several causes of skin discoloration. One reviewer even calls it the “holy grail sunscreen.”

What it’s like to use:虽然我不太了解防晒霜或防晒系数formulas, I like that this one blends easily and leaves my skin feeling soft rather than greasy. The sunscreen can be used on all of your body, too, so if it works for your skin, I say grab a few bottles before summer rolls around. It can be difficult to find a sunscreen that protects both your skin and the environment while also being a delight to wear, so I'm happy to have my hands on this now.

7.重新铺面睡眠面膜

Resurfacing Sleep Mask

I was an overnight-mask newbie before the Cocokind Resurfacing Sleep Mask, but now I'm hooked.

What it claims:TheResurfacing Sleep Maskserves as an alternative toretinol, which is a popular ingredient in抗衰老creams and serums. This mask claims to reduce the look of dark spots, redness, and wrinkles or fine lines withbakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient that's known to produce similar skin results as retinol.

What it’s like to use:尽管这个产品是低在我的列表,它唯一的because there are so many products I love! This mask is more of a moisturizer, with its super-thin consistency. I don’t mind its soupy texture because it allows a little bit of product to go a long way and it keeps my skin feeling fresh when I head to bed. Using the mask in place of moisturizer five to six times a week overnight for four months has helped my skin retain moisture through the night, and I even woke up less sweaty in the summer! Reviewers say this mask makes a “noticeable difference right away,” and I agree. My skin felt softer and smoother after the first night I wore it and continued to improve with each use.

8. Mai-Light Rosé Highlighter Stick

The Cocokind Mai-Light Rosé Highlighter Stick is moisturizing and shimmery.

What it claims:Cocokind doesn’t have a makeup line per se, but it does have sticks that serve as highlighters, eyeshadows, blushes, and lip colors. Like the MyMatcha stick, these tinted versions provide moisture and shine. All four options: theMacabeet Tinted Moisture Stick(浆果颜色),Sunrei Reishi Gold Highlighter(闪烁的金色阴影),Chagaglo Bronzer Highlighter(闪闪发光,温暖的青铜色)和Mai-Light Rosé Highlighter(a shimmery pink color) are bright and easy to blend into skin. Depending on what shade of shine you’re looking for, each stick will serve a different purpose. Cocokind posted a tutorial on itsInstagram页面尽管所需的亮度或量可能会因您的肤色而异,但它逐步介绍了每个棍棒的推荐用途。

What it’s like to use:I have fair skin, so I’ve only tried the Mai-Light Rosé Highlighter Stick (so far). I rub my pointer finger on the roll-up stick and then apply dabs of color to my cheekbone for a jolly glow. I also like to use it as an eyeshadow to brighten my eyes behind blue light glasses (and to generally look more alert). I don’t think this color would work well as lipstick, but I like its multipurpose nature for eyes and cheeks. I hope to try the Macabeet one as a lip color next!

9. Chlorophyll Mask

Mix the powdered Cocokind Chlorophyll Mask in with your other go-to face masks.

What it claims:TheChlorophyll Maskis a powder that you can mix with other masks or just water. It contains spirulina and chlorella powder, both of which help to cleanse the skin.

What it’s like to use:I love that this mask comes in powder form. It can be mixed with carrier oils (like coconut oil) or kitchen staples like yogurt or honey to make a mask fit for your skin, so I think anyone could find a great use for this. I liked the ability to mix the powder at my desired ratio and frequently added it to the Sea Kale Mask, which gave me softer, cleaner skin.

10.覆盆子醋碳粉和玫瑰水面碳粉

Toners

You can easily reuse the glass toner bottles.

What it claims:Cocokind has two toners:覆盆子醋碳粉Rosewater Facial Toner。Both work like most toners do: You spritz a light layer onto your face after cleansing, pat it in, and experience less-clogged pores and calmer skin where redness once was. The raspberry one has only two ingredients (water and raspberry fruit vinegar), and its rosewater counterpart has one (rosa damascena flower water).

What it’s like to use:两种碳粉对我来说都很好,尽管这是我在护肤程序中最不喜欢的一步。玫瑰水的面部碳粉使我的皮肤感觉更柔软,更光滑。我不小心购买了覆盆子醋碳粉,当我喷洒时,它有点刺,我不在乎的醋香气毫无疑问。但是,一旦我添加保湿剂和防晒霜,这种气味就会淡出,因此我正在努力避免浪费它。如果您的皮肤和碳粉是常规日常工作的一部分,我建议您在覆盆子上使用玫瑰水碳粉(除非醋味不会打扰您),但是我对其中的任何一个都不疯狂。

11.孔料浓缩浓缩物

Pore Refining Concentrate

The Cocokind Pore Refining Concentrate spot treatment is effective, though a bit drying on the skin.

What it claims:ThePore Refining Concentrateis part of the Celery Duo, so it’s made to pair with the Texture Smoothing Cream. The serum comes in a rollerball applicator and uses ingredients like celery and flaxseed to minimize the look of pores. Reviewers love how quick and easy it is to use, as well as the instantaneous results. The formula also contains aloe juice for hydration, and Cocokind recommends applying the concentrate after cleansing, toning, and applying essence or serums for the best results.

What it’s like to use:虽然我喜欢保湿芹菜的一部分Duo, I disliked how my skin felt after using this concentrate. I applied it a few times to the skin between my cheeks and nose and lower on my chin, but it seemed to really dry me out. I worried about applying it to other areas of my T-zone or my forehead after the not-so-great results in other spots on my face, so I didn't find a proper fit for this in my routine. Thankfully, using other Cocokind products minimized my pores to my satisfaction, so I’m not too upset about this one’s lackluster performance. It may be worth a try for anyone with more oily skin who isn’t worried about dryness as a side effect.

With so many products to chose from, anyone can find a new skincare favorite from Cocokind.

Compared to other skincare brands I've tried, Cocokind’s products are lightweight and easy to apply. I like to have a quick routine in the bathroom, so I appreciate how well the moisturizer and oils absorb so you can move on to the next step. Cocokind’s site has a wealth of information about products, but, at the very least, I recommend reading the “how to use” section on each product page. The site details how much product to apply and where to fit it into your routine. The suggested routines were a huge help to me as I started using optional products, like toners and serums. I also love that the products don’t have a noticeable scent to them (raspberry toner aside), which has been an issue with other skincare items I’ve tried in the past.

If your experience is anything like mine, you'll get hooked on Cocokind products. Since my first order, I’ve expanded my collection to over half its line. The brand's marketing rings true: The products are lightweight, affordable, and long-lasting. Plus, my skin is less blotchy, clearer, and dewier since using multiple Cocokind products together.

关于Cocokind的最令人兴奋的事情之一是,它们会定期发布新产品,因此请确保您在其网站上查看新产品以获取新产品。
