I've used their Neem Nail oil and it's really wonderful and hydrating for my cuticles. The price is a bit steep though :/

First, Dr. Haushka is an amazing plant-based / natural skin care line. The fact that it is plant-based and chock full of essential oils could prove their products tricky for sensitive skin. I say this because essential oils are strong allergens for some.

But I digress! I've only tried the Balancing Day Oil, and the Rose Day Cream in both regular and light form.

Balancing Day Oil: fresh and effective for oily skin or when you're stuck in humid climates. Like many oils, Dr. Haushka's offering is cost-effective and long-lasting as you only need a few drops for the full face. Great buy!

Rose Day Cream light: rose is a great anti-aging ingredient and rose oil (rosa mosqueta oil) is ideal for rather dry skin. That being said, this is a great product for naturally dry skins with mild combination or oily tendencies or easily blocked skin. Perfect for summer months.

Rose Day cream: Now, I find this cream a tad controversial in the skin-care world because it is tricky in terms of usage. Yes, it looks and feels greasy and thick (it's like the Estée Lauder full coverage foundation of creams), but a small pea size amounts goes quite a long way and must be gently massaged into the skin. But herein lies the problem, before applying any other product (or walking out in public), you should wait at least 5 minutes for the product to properly absorb. If you just wait 30-60 seconds, and then slather on another product of whatever form, you will wear an ultra-hot grease look =P
So, all in all, this is a fantastic cream for obscene winter weather (ie New England circa now) or if you've eczema. I would be cautious to use this cream if you've atopic dermatitis because again, plant-based face products can cause a minor allergic reaction.

Let me know if you've any questions! I'm going to be expanding my Dr. Haushka experience once I get home from college and can use cleansers, and like, in glass bottles. 

Cheers!
