Beauty is more than skin deep: The average person slathers, rubs and sprays at least 5 -6 different skin care products on their body on a daily basis--and since our skin acts more like a sponge than a barrier, we absorb the nearly all the chemicals we regularly expose ourselves to. Cosmetics companies and the FDA uphold the fact that these chemicals are safe, and sure many of them are, in small doses at least. However as a matter of deliberation, the average woman wears makeup almost every day, and it is then that you begin to realize how a little pat here a quick spray there begins to add up. The fact is no one really knows how certain chemicals affect us over time, or how they react in our bodies in combination. Imagine coping with acne filled skin throughout your life!
Mother Nature has an antidote for almost everything, and many beauty brands are keeping their ingredients list as close to the earth as possible. Using only certified organic ingredients can be limiting, so not all brands go that far, but you can take comfort in knowing POSE uses only a mix of natural and organic ingredients. Honestly, though, it's what they don't use that really counts: no unnecessary chemicals, like parabens, petrochemicals, TEA DEA Glycols, formaldehydes, fragrances and essential oils.
We put the 6 products in the range to the test for 2 weeks and the results were too good to be true!
1) Wrinkle Diffuser Face Cream
(Ideal for women 40+)
This revolutionary, organic cream based on aloe vera juice product combines DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane) and hyaluronic acid with organic extracts and oils. DMAE reduces wrinkles by preventing cell deterioration and shoring up cell membranes. MSM supplies sulphur to your skin which allows it to heal itself and feeds the formation of collagen.
The smart ingredients of this cream:
Adjust the moisturizing effects depending on your skin's needs
Reduces inflammation and helps in sunburns
Revitalizes skin
Assists in the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin
Brings excellent toning and binding effects on loose, saggy skin
OUR REVIEW
We convinced our mothers to assist us with this review by testing the product. The cream was silky smooth, highly emollient, absorbed easily, and actually took away the puffiness and visibly reduced lines after 3 days . After 2 weeks of continuous application overnight we can say little goes a long way, but don't worry if you use a bit too much as its equally effective on those fine lines across the bridge of the nose and around the lips.
2) Under eye Cream
(For women of all ages)
A luxurious and very delicate cream designed especially to treat the vulnerable skin around the eyes. It is rich in fatty acids (GLA) which are very important for the skin cell’s membranes and contains various antioxidants helpful for diminishing the damaging effects of the sun and free radicals.
The smart ingredients of this cream:
Reduces fine lines around the eyes
Increases cell renewal
Calms irritated skin
Reduces water transdermal loss

OUR REVIEW
The cream was soothing and cooling on first application. I got the hydration feeling from using it with a dab of water, and the most amazing thing was that I woke up in the 2nd week with NO dark circles! MAGIC! Here’s to those late weekend nights and pulling off all nighters !
3) Rejuvenating Face Cream
(Ideal for women 35 and above)
A unique lightweight cream that brings your skin back to life and suitable for sensitive skin. It is a combination of organic extracts, oils and butters together with hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acids and multi-fruits acids that leave your skin look noticeably younger, soft, smooth and fresh.

OUR REVIEW
I was looking for a face cream with simple and NO unrealistic magical claims!! I tried many expensive department store brands like Shiseido, Estee Lauder, Lancome but they all had no visible effect even after months of application and some caused acne outbreaks. I was then introduced to POSE and decided to take the organic plunge. The emulsion was smooth, creamy and with my dry skin, it soaked in immediately. I noticed an improvement in my skin after a few days of using the cream - No clogged pores, skin felt fresh, firm and radiant. The cream felt like absolute luxury at the beginning and end of the day!
4) SPA Herbal Face Cream
(For women of all ages)
This cream is rich in organic herbal active substances such as flavonoids, green tea extract, blue green algae and hemp oil that soothes, balances and relaxes your skin taking it for an ultimate SPA session. It also has tremendous antioxidant, photoprotective and cell-protective properties that work to refresh and regenerate the skin.
The smart ingredients of this cream:
Adjust the moisturizing effects depending on your skin's needs
Reduces irritation, rashes and other skin complaints
Fights hypersensitivity, inflammation and allergic conditions
Improves granulation and tissue regeneration
Reduces puffiness and cleanses pores of impurities
Tightens and tones, nourishes and protects your skin
OUR REVIEW
It’s a super lightweight formula - just pump about a pea size amount into your hands and work it really well into your face and neck. It sounds intimidating using a face cream with oil and algae for someone with very reactive & acne prone sensitive skin. This one, however, is a wonderful product. It is light enough for my skin, but still moisturizes well, and has a light, fresh scent. Even at times when at my face is irritated after cleansing with water, this moisturizer actually calms my skin, making it feel much better!
I recommend this to anyone, especially those who know the effects of commercial brands and the stuff that is in them.
5) Texturizing Face Cream
(Ideal for women 30+)
This fabulous texturizing cream has been designed to bring high concentration of Vitamin C to the skin. Vit C, Vit E and organic extracts create a synergetic blend that helps barrier against free radicals.
The smart ingredients of this cream like:
Hyaluronic acid adjusts the moisturizing effects depending on your skin’s needs.
Green clay, rich in “youth” minerals, draws oils and toxins from your skin. It stimulates and is effective in increasing the lymph circulation enabling an intake of oxygene and speeding the eliminationof wastes.
Lemon extract brightens dull skin and calms redness as well as the irritation of an inflamed skin.
Rosehip oil boosts regeneration of the skin and increases its elasticity
GLA content reduces the signs of aging - especially lines around the mouth
OUR REVIEW
I was very pleasantly surprised to feel a very slight difference in the texture of my skin after using this for 2 weeks! It hasn’t broken my skin out, which is impressive. I can’t say I’ve seen a difference in my pores but to be honest, I think you’ll need to go the high end route to ever see a difference in pore size and a use the product consistently for a month to be able to see and feel any substantial difference. As for fine lines, thankfully I don’t have any yet but I do think that this could be a great preventative measure to take throughout your 20’s! My skin definitely feels softer after using this, and mine typically is very temperamental so I’m super impressed that it really made a difference.
6) Protective Face Cream
(For women of all ages)
This cream combines organic extract and oils with hyaluronic acid, PABA and mineral sunscreens and is designed for everyday use.
The smart ingredients of this cream like:
Grapeseed and Witch Hazel extracts prevents skin aging, stabilizes the barrier function of the skin and reduces skin redness
Shea butter is an extremely therapeutic emollient penetrating the skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth
Black Willow Bark stimulates skin and cell growth
Rosemary reduce puffiness and swelling resulting in firmer skin and better skin tone
PABA, the part of Vit B complex, is required for the formation of folic acid and acts as a perfect UV sunscreen
OUR REVIEW
I applied this cream before leaving for work and I found that it helped combat the drying effect of the sweltering Dubai heat and environment by keeping my skin quite hydrated with a lovely, shiny glowing glow. The organic shea butter felt as a great emollient and a little does go a long way which makes this a good value too. It melts into the skin and can make it a little shiny at first so ensure you do not overload.
All in all, we were blown away with these products. We are huge fans of organic skincare but sometimes it can be such a letdown and be almost too gentle to actually do you any good! POSE gets the delicate mix of being extremely gentle yet incredibly effective spot on.
Moreover when you choose POSE organic products, you can be rest assured that you are using natural products on your skin that have been grown and harvested in their most natural form. Plus buying POSE skin care products can give you the added satisfaction of knowing that your purchase has not harmed the environment. Win!
