Absolutely! As I mentioned above, UpCircle (a play on words from the term 'upcycle' - geddit?) is one of the most sustainable skincare brands I've come across. Plus, you can mix and match UpCircle's bundles, too, building your own to make sure you get the best of most worlds if needs be. The “Best Moisturizer” 2021 winner by the Beauty Shortlist Awards is made with finely-ground powder of discarded argan shells, a natural by-product of the argan oil industry and rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, cocoa butter and blood orange. I love the scent of the skincare, and UpCircle's ethos, and will definitely be refilling my products when they run out.

The Upcircle eye cream is 99% natural and made with coffee oil extracted from repurposed grounds and anti-inflammatory maple bark extract, a by-product of the wood industry. They say it helps “brighten, refresh and renew, reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.” While I feel the eye cream provides a good dose of hydration I would not expect any dark circle brightening miracles. Hereditary dark circles are impossible to get rid of and if you’re just experiencing an episode I prefer to recommend sleep, good food and exercise than any supposed miracle eye cream. Hand poured in Yorkshire, this candle uses a soy base and repurposed coffee grounds. The scent will transport you right to a Yorkshire Cafe. This candle is 180 ml and can burn for up to 35 hours. . When it came to the Body Cream, I found it pretty gloopy and ideal for super dry skin, but it wasn't something I'd want to use everyday as it took a while to sink into the skin. The bundles are usually cheaper than buying the products separately, too. You can also choose to buy the Full House Gift Box, with all 11, full-sized products included. How much is delivery? NATURAL ORGANIC FACE SERUM FOR ALL SKIN TYPES: This deeply hydrating face oil nourishes and moisturises the skin. Formulated to suit both women and men skin types. Good to use day and night.

After only three days of using UpCircle's Cleansing Face Balm everyday, morning and night, followed by three to four drops of serum most days and every night, I can honestly say that my skin felt absolutely incredible. Once you finish your products, you simply give the jar, tub or bottle a rinse with warm, soapy water and leave it to dry while you shop for a refill. I am notoriously pretty bad with my skincare, and feel quite overwhelmed when it comes to routines with multiple steps including toners, acids and night creams - which is why I opted for the multi-award winning bundle, to keep it super simple. After just a few days of using UpCircle's skincare, my skin felt more nourished thank to the brand's Face Serum, and plumper and clearer thanks to my twice-daily use of its apricot-stone Cleansing Balm.

One of the company’s most popular and best selling products is easily the Coffee Face Scrub. Formulated with 100% natural ingredients, this scrub gently buffs away dead skin and leaves your face soft and rejuvenated. Inside the box, each of the three skincare products from the Award-winners Bundle were wrapped securely in brown paper to save on plastic bubble wrap. I've been using it twice a day for just over two weeks now, and have seen a noticeable difference to my skin's plumpness: it feels softer, looks brighter and ultimately more healthy. The Cleansing Face Balm smells and feels amazing to use, acting as a fantastic, light exfoliator thanks to its use of discarded apricot stones. It's not too gritty, and provided a moment of mindfulness each morning and night.I'm always on the hunt for skincare that's cost-effective, eco-conscious and a pleasure to use, which is why I jumped at the chance to review UpCircle skincare.

UpCircle offer refills on most products, including face cleanser, moisturiser, toner, body scrub, face masks, body lotions, serums, eye creams and hand soaps. With UpCircle, I've found pleasure in my skincare routine, and actively look forward to doing it each morning and night - all without the complicated multi-step guide and expense. UpCircle's Return and Refill scheme is pretty revolutionary, in my humble opinion - it makes upcycling and being eco-conscious easy and cost-effective.

The great thing is that UpCircle's refills are 20% less in price than the usual products, so it's cost-effective, too. I already have a trusty moisturiser, but I've been looking for an everyday cleanser that is soft enough to use on my sensitive skin, yet effectively removes stubborn grime, pollution and make-up.

To use, the company recommends shaking the tube before applying the product to a clean, damp face. After leaving on for several moments, you should rinse the scrub off. This product can be used multiple times a week — though it is not recommended for daily use.Like most UpCircle products, this item is created with repurposed Arabica coffee grounds from real London cafes. It also contains chamomile and shea butter to nourish and moisturize skin, and rosehip and geranium to give the product its signature floral blend. This product formulation is suitable for sensitive skin – in fact, chamomile is known for its skin soothing abilities.
