The Āe Experience

Āe Botanicals Kerekere Maanaki Clay Mask is honestly the best face mask I’ve used in years! It tightens, brightens, and detoxifies all at once, leaving my skin feeling completely renewed. I love that it’s made from 100% natural ingredients that actually deliver on their promise. Plus, being able to mix it with other Āe products to target specific skin concerns truly sets it apart from anything else I’ve tried.

Gemma

I have combination skin and tend to be quite careful with body oils, but this one from Āe Botanicals feels absolutely perfect. It absorbs beautifully without leaving any greasiness and my skin feels soft, hydrated and calm after every use. The scent is so natural and relaxing ,earthy and uplifting

Valentina

I’ve been using the Golden Gllimmer Night Serum and my skin feels so hydrated! I suffer with dry skin and an oily t-zone, but this serum has been perfect at keeping me moisturised without being oily. I love the smell too. It feels like the perfect addition to my night ritual to help me unwind.

Beth

Love this cleanser, it smells incredible and leaves your face feeling soft without the stripped feeling. My partner tried it out as well and said he noticed an amazing difference on his nose with his pores as it really cleaned all the dirt off. I loved how clean my face felt after every use. I will definitely be recommending this cleanser to my friends!

Hanna

I’ve been using the Āe Botanical Golden Glimmer Night Serum for the past week. I have been on the search for a product to add to my skincare routine that would greatly benefit my skin. My thoughts so far are, this product smells beautiful and feels amazing on my skin. I have already noticed that my skin feels supple and I cannot wait to continue using this serum.
