PUNK ROCK PAMPERING

his issue, we’re shining the spotlight on Pacifica, an American beauty brand that formed
Tin 1996 and is 100% vegan and cruelty free. Their name was inspired by a lyric in a song
that was playing during Pacifica’s envisioning, and their core value has always been com-
passion. In more recent years, Pacifica has been on sale in some UK stores, which made us
very happy. Their products are high quality, clean, ethical and affordable. If you’re up for some
pampering, we’d definitely recommend you to pamper with Pacifica.

PACIFICA FUTURE YOUTH SUPER CREAM
We love the packaging of all of Pacifica’s products. Their
Future Youth Super Cream comes in a 50ml glass jar, which
is packaged in a well-designed box. One of the cutest things
is that when you open the box, you’ll find some positively flat-
tering text saying, ‘You are so pretty’, which will bring a smile
to your face. The cream itself is lightweight and absorbs easily
into the skin. It has a delectable, fruity fragrance and is silky
smooth and hydrating. It quenches your skin and sets it up
for the day. The packaging boasts that it gives 8 hours of hy-
dration, and we’re told that, after one use, 100% of subjects
saw a boost in hydration of up to 140% in the first 8 hours
and 93% after 48 hours. The cream includes multi-peptides,
which aim to plump the skin, plus lots of plant-powered ingre-
dients, such as passionflower extract, edelweiss and kom-
bucha. You can use the cream in the morning or at night – it
serves both very well.

PACIFICA VEGAN COLLAGEN PLUMPING
JELLY MASK
Pacifica have a lot of products that help with hydration –
so it can be hard to know which to choose. To be honest, we’d
pick them all if we could! Although Pacifica’s Vegan Collagen
Plumping Jelly Mask proudly claims that it gives instant hy-
dration and a plumper appearance. The product itself is a little
thicker than the Future Youth Super Cream. It is more a mois-
turising cream than a mask that you wash off, you can mas-
sage it into your skin and keep it on all day or night, although
it takes a little longer to absorb than the Future Youth Super
Cream. It has a jasmine scent and includes vegan squalane
and hyaluronic acid as well as Pacifica’s patented vegan col-
lagen peptide, which all help to boost your skin and leave it
looking a little more magical than it did before you’d put it on.

PACIFICA SEA & C LOVE VITAMIN SERUM
One of the best products to have in your skincare regime is vitamin C. Vita-
min C can help brighten your skin, reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation
and boost collagen production. Pacifica’s Sea & C Love Vitamin Serum does all
of that and more. With ingredients such as kelp, red seaweed, green algae and
green tea, the serum also helps fight the effects of blue light from our phone and
computer screens. It’s a real skin drink that soaks in easily and nourishes any
dry and parched skin. It’s not oily or overly sticky like some serums are, but is
very refreshing and reviving. This is one of the best vitamin C serums that we’ve
tried. We definitely have a lot of love for this vitamin C.

as body sprays and butters, oils and mists, perfume and makeup.
