SKIN CONCERN: ACNE SCARS + PIGMENTATION

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 6 Weeks

Results:  Even skin tone with less acne scars + pigmentation, reduced break-outs, bright under eyes, softened fine lines


"As an adult, I began to experience acne for the first time in my life. My first impression of East 29th’s Vital Serum was one of delight, the serum's foamy aspect feels incredibly satisfying to use and the gentle scent was perfect for my sensitive skin/nose. I focused on my pigmentation caused by acne scars (and picking, oops guilty!) and noticed within just a few days that my spots looked clearer and smoother. 

I now use the serum on a greater surface of my skin and have noticed that even my under eyes are brighter than they were a few months ago. I can attribute my overall health/wellness improvements to the vital serum as my damaged skin had a huge impact on my day-to-day life! 

The Vital Serum will remain a vital part of my skincare routine."

SKIN CONCERN: HYPERPIGMENTATION + ACNE SCARS

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 6 Weeks

Results: Reduced pigmentation + acne scars, softened fine lines, pore reduction, glowing skin, & no cystic acne break-outs

"I am incredibly impressed with the Vital Serum! After using it for six weeks, I am over the moon with the results! I tried it to see if it would help my post-acne hyperpigmentation, and not only did it dramatically improve it in only six weeks, it also softened fine lines on my forehead and shrunk the pores on my cheeks! My favourite result, however, is the *GLOW* it has given to my skin, and that I haven't had a cystic acne breakout since using it - unheard of for my skin! I have so much more confidence in going out without makeup now (I have barely touched my concealer in six weeks)! I can't wait for the next bottle - I ordered it right away!"

SKIN CONCERN: ECZEMA

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Hands

Length of time: 5 Weeks

Skin Type: Dry Skin, Eczema

Results: Clearing eczema, moisturized skin, baby safe

“I’m struggling to find the words in a short statement to express how life changing it has been for me. The underlying message is the same: “it’s changed my life, I have my hands back”. 

Before using East 29th I had the worst eczema outbreaks on my hand and fingers. My pinky finger was so inflamed, dry and cracking with open wounds it hurt. I thought I was going to lose my nail it was so deep and painful. It hurt to do daily tasks as simple as washing my hands to even washing my baby and daughter in the bath. I wore gloves day and night, I spend hundreds on products to help. I tried to stay away from steroids as I didn’t want that on my body or children but regardless it would only help temporarily. I worked with many specialists to narrow down this skin condition I never had before.

Then I tried East 29th serum. Immediately I could feel less wounds cracking. It helped so much with the inflammation. My skin could finally hold some moisture. And then as the days passed I could see the under layers of my skin starting to heal! Healing my gut and using serum was the key combo for my skin. Over the weeks the deep wounds and extreme dryness faded away. I am no longer self conscious in public, I can bend my fingers and even wash my hands without them burning. I honestly have my life back. This is a product I will continue to always use on my dry skin to immediately bring relief and hold onto that moisture.

My daughter had terrible eczema as a baby, we seriously have tried every cream. I wish this was around when she was younger. I’m so thankful for you and how you pushed to follow your dream company. 

You should be so proud only three years in and you’ve changed lives and are a brand people are talking about. Happy to support you indefinitely, and excited to see the future for East 29th to continue to flourish.”

"I think it’s having quite an impact! Thank you for creating this product and offering trials. My daughter is happy it’s less itchy and seems to be drawing less attention as it’s getting smaller. She is less self conscious about it too, which is so wonderful."

SKIN CONCERN: POST-ACNE HYPERPIGMENTATION THAT LINGERED FOR 6 MONTHS PRIOR

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 6 Weeks + 4 month update

Results: Reduced pigmentation, Brighter complexion, glowing skin, healthier skin barrier

"For the past year I have struggled with hormonal cystic acne. After getting a handle on my acne I was left with hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, which meant I was on the hunt for a product that would support fading the dark spots. As soon as I found East 29th serum, I had a good feeling about it. The ingredients were recognizable, it’s local and the results looked promising. After about 3 weeks of using it I started to notice fading with my dark spots and after 6 weeks I couldn’t believe the difference. 

My hyperpigmentation has noticeably faded, my skin is brighter/glowing and overall healthier. I am so happy I found East 29th and can finally stop wasting money on products that don’t deliver. 

Do yourself a favour and get your hands on a bottle of East 29th vital serum.”

Length of time: 6 Weeks

 "I'm honestly loving the Vital serum so much. My skin looks great, and it has been transforming my skin. I'm already looking to buy another bottle!"

SKIN CONCERN: ACNE SCARS, HYPERPIGMENTATION + UNEVEN SKIN TONE FROM SCARRING

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 4 Weeks

Results: Reduced pigmentation, faded acne scars, brighter complexion, glowing skin

"I am above & beyond impressed with the East 29th Vital Serum. While I never had adolescent acne, I had a particularly bad case of adult acne that left me with scarring & a fear of trying new face care products. In addition to acne, spending a significant amount of time in the ocean with the wrong sun screen resulted in hyperpigmentation in my t-zone, cheekbones, upper lip, & chin. Up until now I had committed to my adage of staying with the tried and true that admittedly had average results and I am so glad I diverted away from it. 

The improvement in my complexion was noticeable within the first couple weeks, & now that I have nearly finished the bottle I am astounded with how even my skin tone has become (with a realization of how uneven it was before). The hyperpigmentation is barely noticeable, and I cannot wait until the summer to see just how much my skin has improved when I'm tanned. 

Others seem to notice the difference as well but can't put their finger on it and tell me that I 'look very rested.' I am now a committed user of Vital serum and strongly recommend investing in your face!"

SKIN CONCERN: ACNE

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Back

Length of time: 5 Weeks

Results: Clearing acne and acne scars, even skin tone

"I was honestly amazed, especially in the last few weeks how much of a difference I saw. The scars have lightened so much and the skin is much more moisturized! I have felt the need to hide my back for most of my life, so it's really exciting that I might not have to anymore."

"The Vital Serum is so beautiful and lightweight. It has no scent, which is lovely and has been great during my pregnancy. I absolutely love that even after one bottle I have seen so many results after using it only two times a day. Do not hesitate, this is a product that will go a long way!"

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 2 Weeks

Results: Reduced break-outs, softened pigmentation, evened skin tone, + glowing skin

"I've struggled with acne and lingering acne scars since I was a teenager which caused a lot of insecurities. Using the Vital serum, Valia cleanser, and Verse lotion mist has allowed my acne to not flare up (the first time I haven't flared up since my teens) and helped even out my skin texture and tone. I haven't felt so comfortable in my skin!"

SKIN CONCERN: ACNE SCARS, HYPERPIGMENTATION + UNEVEN SKIN TONE FROM SCARRING

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 6 Weeks

Results: Reduced break-outs, evened skin texture + tone, glowing skin

"The Vital serum, is one of those products that is unlike anything else! It’s truly changed my skin for the better - I truly believe the Vital serum saved my skin! My skin was so dehydrated and my skin tone was uneven, redness - inflammation and now it’s toned and although I get the occasional breakout, it’s not nearly as bad as it would get before."

SKIN CONCERN: FINE LINES + AGE SPOTS

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Face

Length of time: 6 Weeks

Results: Reduced fine lines and age spots, increased glow

“I have loved using the vital serum. I'm using it twice a day after cleansing, followed by a moisturizer. I love the slight foaming as I apply it and a little goes a long way. My skin texture is much smoother and I notice a glow. 

I really appreciate that it's one product that can shorten my skincare routine.”

SKIN CONCERN: POST ECZEMA HYPERPIGMENTATION

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Back

Length of time: 6 Weeks

Results: Reduced post-eczema pigmentation

"I am very pleased with my results after using the Vital Serum on the hyperpigmentation on my back, which was the result of a bad eczema flare-up. I've seen a noticeable decrease in the discolouration of my skin tone and feel more confident about wearing a bikini this summer. 

The serum was fast-absorbing and had a nice, non-sticky texture, and it left my skin feeling hydrated and soft. I highly recommend this serum to those who have sensitive, eczema-prone skin."

SKIN CONCERN: SUN DAMAGE + UNEVEN SKIN TONE

Products: Vital Serum

Target Area: Chest

Length of time: 3 Weeks

Results: Softened fine lines + wrinkles, hydrated skin, reduced redness

 "I love a lot of things about this serum. I love that it has all the key ingredients that I look for. I loooove the way it feels going on my skin. It's so smooth and covers well, unlike a lot of other Vitamin C serums I've tried. It doesn't feel sticky on my skin. 

I have moderate sun damage on my skin, particularly my chest, and I found this serum evened out my skin tone a little. My skin feels well-hydrated, particularly through the extra cold winter we just had in Vancouver."

Products: Vital Serum, Valia Cleanser, Verse Lotion Mist

Hydrated and even skin tone

"They feel so thoughtfully curated and made, and I feel like they have all made such a difference with my skin, especially the Vital Serum. I have mild acne scarring and I feel like they have lighted since using it.

 I love a face mist, and I think the Verse Lotion Mist is now my all time favourite. It’s not tacky, or heavy. It is a wonderfully lightweight and is the perfect step to lock in all that beautiful moisture that the Vital Serum provides. 


I liked the Valia Cleanser a lot! I usually do a double cleanse, so I found that to be difficult for me since I usually use two products. But I found using this twice back to back really effective! The first cleanse felt like it broke up any makeup or grime that stuck to my skin throughout the day and the second cleanse with it felt really clearing and CLEAN. I didn’t find any dryness after using it."

"I was skeptical to try East 29th initially even though I have heard great things about them. Clean and sustainable, something we value. I didn’t want it to be one of those products that doesn’t deliver results. We’ve tried so many different products that doesn’t live up to their promises.  My little girl has eczema on her hands which occasionally flares up (especially during winter).  She is a bit conscious when it gets really ugly.  When I saw that they were offering a 6 week trial, I decided to give them a try. We used the Vital Serum and moisture mist together.  After the first week, her eczema has improved significantly. Her scratching, redness and swelling reduced. We’ve come a long way after 6 weeks and her eczema is under control and her skin has improved significantly.  I would recommend this to anyone that suffers from eczema, skin irritation or just seeking efficacious clean beauty products. Truly great products to invest in."
