Ghost Democracy’s philosophy is to keep skincare straightforward and simple, and the brand has launched products with these key gestures in mind. It is an exceptionally clean, uncomplicated skincare that works.
I wondered how Ghost Democracy’s promise of clean, effective, accessible skincare, would work for me so I wanted to put it to the test and try it out.
The Ghost Democracy Complete Collection includes a cleanser, two serums, a moisturizer, facial oil, and an eye concentrate. The brands say each product is specially formulated with a high level of active ingredients and no harmful or potentially irritating ingredients, like sulfates, drying alcohols, or added fragrances.
Ghost Democracy also offers a Starter Kit (which includes a cleanser, moisturizer, and either the hyaluronic acid serum or the vitamin C serum) and sells its products a la carte.
When adding new products to your skincare routine, you should add them one at a time to understand how each product affects your skin. To test each of the six items in the collection, I used each product for 10 days before removing that product from our routine and testing another.
Ghost Democracy’s Transparent Cleanser is supposed to exfoliate and remove dead skin, accelerate cell turnover, strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, reduce redness, and minimize the appearance of pores. I found that this liquid cleanser lathered easily without falling through our fingers. After using it every evening, I found that it left skin feeling smoother and looking slightly brighter.
The Floodgate Hyaluronic Acid Serum can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water according to Ghost Democracy, which should make it an excellent option for parched skin.
To apply, I patted a few drops into damp skin after cleansing. Floodgate has a thicker texture than Ghost Democracy’s vitamin C serum or facial oil, which we felt made it easy to use. After letting the serum dry for about two minutes, we added a moisturizer. It left dry skin feeling hydrated and smoother to the touch.
Ghost Democracy Lightbulb Vitamin C Serum. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and can help balance irregular pigmentation and smooth skin tone. Once I learned to apply the right amount of serum, it felt perfect on my skin and absorbed quickly.
This moisturizer contains 12 percent probiotics, which Ghost Democracy says helps users maintain a healthy skin ecosystem. It also contains one percent niacinamide, which reduces pores, one percent oat seed extract, a natural anti-inflammatory, and one-half percent pro-vitamin B5, which promotes softness and elasticity.
I found this moisturizer to be cool and relaxing with a refreshing scent. As a lightweight lotion, it was easy to apply and absorbed quickly. While I was intrigued by this probiotic moisturizer and plan to continue using it, it wasn’t noticeably different from typical daily moisturizers.
This skincare line is effective, clean, and reasonably priced, particularly when purchased as a bundle. I liked that the Complete Collection allowed me to experiment with new products and find out what works for my skin without breaking the bank or breaking out. I was especially impressed with the results we saw from the cleanser, the hyaluronic acid serum, and the vitamin C serum.
