Ordered the 'free' sample kit. Don't be fooled, the cost is in the postage at those prices.
Never seen so much plastic used for packaging and glued together, wrapped several times and I can't see the word 'sustainability' on their website anywhere. Should have checked in advance as wouldn't have ordered.

Good product but £7.50 delivery in this…
Good product but £7.50 delivery in this day and age is madness pure scammy robbery, expensive product with double cost price shipping says a lot about the company!

Average at best, unfortunately...
Upon reading all the reviews I was very excited to try this skincare range. After using the products for a number of weeks I have to say I was quite disappointed with the results. I appreciate their stuff is all natural but I found the products to be simply sub-par for the frankly extortionate price you pay. The anti-aging moisturiser felt thick and dried my skin out come the following morning. In my eyes Brickell either need to lower the price a little or increase the efficacy of their products to be a real player in the UK skincare market. That being said, there are a few of their products that I did enjoy using such as the charcoal face wash. They offer a free trial so it may be beneficial to see if it works with your skin.

A bit pricey for an average product
A bit pricey for an average product. Might as well use your wife's stuff, the only difference is the smell which is a bit more masculine. I ordered the face essentials and they're ok, you can get similar stuff at Walmart or wherever, like i said, the only difference is they smell more for men.

Funzionano, ma ci sono tanti “ma”.
I prodotti per me sono della qualità alta che decantano e questo va ammesso in onestà, tuttavia son molto costosi rispetto ai competitor di uguale fascia e la texture dei loro prodotti non mi piace, come il loro idratante che mi lascia la pelle molto lucida e il detergente che invece la secca troppo.
In linea generale comprerei più che i prodotti per il grooming giornaliero, il loro shampoo.
Quello è davvero ottimo.
Nonostante questo (e nonostante la mia pelle sensibile arrossata) comunque gli effetti positivi ci sono stati applicando i loro prodotti.

Not quite the product I was expecting
Like many my intro to Brickell was the free sample kit that they advertise on Social Media. I thought the products were amazing and ordered some of the full products.
I was disappointed to find that the retail moisturiser in particular had a different consistency to the sample. The sample had felt like a very premium product and worked really well but the full retail version felt like a watered down version in every way. I contacted Brickell on their website to ask about this and didn't get the courtesy of a reply. Maybe I am alone in this and just got a bad example but hard to know.
Still a good product and to be fair it lasts longer than they advertise on their site but it feels like a bit of a bait and switch to offer the really good stuff to get people interested and then offering a slightly less good product when they buy, especially at this price point.

Sample Box Review
I ordered the sample box - was told I'd receive a confirmation email which didn't come, I thought nothing of this assuming that all was fine, the money had left my bank after all. After a while i started to receive emails with titles such as "Your Cart is Expiring" and "Quick, Order Now Before We Stock Out" I quickly emailed Brickell to check everything was ok - no reply. I eventually had to leave a very public comment on their FB to get any kind of response.
Days later I received the sample pack "lovingly prepared by Andy", I can only assume Andy has no fingers as NONE of the lids were on properly and one of the products had leaked a bit, also at the back of the box was a little tab and the words "pull tab for more samples" I pulled the tab, no further samples behind said tab and every single product fell out the box. Oh well!
I found the guide really helpful, it told me what to use and when which was a genuine help, the only negative for this is that you don't get all of the products that the guide mentions (beard oil, SPF moisturiser for example) which caused confusion on first use.
Ok, the products themselves - I went for the "Scented" option and regret it immensely - I thought the products would have masculine tones but I think its just the smell of raw ingredients which was really unpleasant. I have followed the routine set out in the guides religiously - I received the box last Thursday and today I have run out of around half of the products (things like the eye moisturiser and face scrub are going to last way longer than things like the balancing toner because they are all put in the same size packaging), I want to say (like many of the reviews on the official website) that I saw a skin transformation, but I didn't, if anything for the first couple of days my skin looked worse - quite red and blotchy but eventually calmed down. I think just as the products were starting to work, I ran out. This may be a clever marketing trick to get you to buy, but for me it hasn't worked. The retail price of many of these items is way too high compared to others (especially for the UK market), if I had seen better results or if the sample sizes were slightly bigger to give 2 weeks worth of use so you had a clear idea of what's worked then maybe I would have invested.
I find it a little strange that you cannot leave a review on the Brickell website, yet they boast over 2000 5 star reviews, they either cherry pick their feedback or its fake. You also cannot leave a review on Facebook, my assumption here is that there are many people like me who think these are very average, poorly priced products but Brickell doesn't want you to know about it.
All in all, I've given 3 stars because it hasn't burnt my skin off, I only paid shipping and I haven't really lost anything. If I'd paid considerable money it would be a 1 star review. Hope others find this helpful.
