Rave Review: Corpa Flora Discovery Set 21 Days - The 5 Essentials

Discovery sets are amazing and the perfect way to try out a brand without committing to (and investing in) full sizes. I came across Corpa Flora after reading an article, which I now can't remember the name of, and knew I had to try them. After reaching out to them, Celine was kind enough to send me the *Discovery Set 21 days “The 5 Essentials". 

Celine Champigny, founder of Corpa Flora water-free skin care products, was founded in early 2012 in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). She originally studied food sciences, but has worked over 20 years in academic research biochemistry labs at McGill and the University of Toronto. Celine has combined her interest in nutrition, free-radical warriors and cosmetics to build a simple and natural skin care line centered around treatment oils (as well as a powdered exfoliant) containing essential ingredients to nourish and restore the healthy glow of all skin types. Corpa Flora pays particular attention to the primary products that it uses, the majority of its ingredients have been certified as Biological either from Ecocert or the USDA/NOP. They use only 100% recyclable glass bottles and discourage over packaging. Less packaging = Happy planet. The company has made an ecological and economical choice aimed at promoting the product itself rather than the exterior packaging. There are no chemical nasties in any of the products and no animal testing is conducted.

Description: Now you can try CORPA FLORA botanical cocktails for 21 days. You will find in this Discovery Set "Beaute Divine" our camelia cleansing oil, "Grenadine" and Eclat Citrouille" our antioxidant and anti-aging botanical cocktails, our ultra-fine exfoliating powder "Rock'n Rose" and our ultra-soft bamboo facial cloth from Shoo-Foo. This discovery Set 21 days can be used as a beauty booster for all skin types , as a travel set or simply as the perfect gift for your best friend.


Beaute Divine Oil Cleanser (2 x 30 ml): I love me an oil cleanser for removing makeup and I love the light scent of this one. If I use the perfect amount, it rinses off with ease. I usually double cleanse (oil followed by a cream cleanser) but there are days where I'm just too lazy, so I appreciate how easy it is to wash off. It leaves my skin well cleansed and hydrated. Would totally purchase the full size! Full Size: $37 CAN for 120 ml/4fl oz


Grenadine Antioxidant Day Cocktail (8 ml): Nice day oil, but not my fave of the kit. I don't find it does much for my skin in terms of adding a glow or making it look any better. I still need to use a moisturizer over top, it's not sufficient on its own. Wouldn't purchase the full size. Full Size: $37 CAN for 30 ml/1 fl oz.



Éclat Citrouille Antioxidant Night Cocktail (8 ml): Obsessed! It absorbs beautifully and depending on how my skin is acting, I won't apply a cream over top. Sometimes I apply African Gold to any dry areas, but I usually find this oil enough. When I wake up, my skin is glowing, even toned, soft, and looks absolutely amazing! Already purchased the full size. Full Size: $37 CAN for 30 ml/1 fl oz.


Rock'n Rose Exfoliating Facial Powder (4 ml): This is a super fine powder that exfoliates really well. It's gentle enough for my sensitive skin, yet still effective. Leaves my skin super soft and bright. I wouldn't purchase the full size though because I prefer a chemical exfoliant to a physical one. Full Size: $23 for 30 ml/1 fl oz.


SHOO-FOO Facial Cloth: This facial cloth is SO soft and such a joy to use. It gently helps remove makeup (and the cleanser) without irritating my skin. I use it a few times before tossing it in the wash. I'm thinking about picking up a pack of three. Set of 3: $14 CAN

Overall, I'm very impressed with this line. When I received the set my skin was in a horrible state. It was dry and breaking out really badly. This set transformed my skin by restoring much needed hydration and helped clear up my crazy breakout. I find all the products smell lovely but are in no way over powering or obnoxious. I think it'd be ideal for all skin types, especially with Fall here and Winter coming. This set is supposed to last 21 days, however, I haven't used any of them up yet. In fact, a little goes a very long way. I'm still on my first bottle of cleansing oil. I highly recommend trying out this Discovery Set, you will not be disappointed. 

Discovery Set 21 Days retails for $51 CAN. Can be purchased through Corpa Flora, Serenity on the Humber Day Spa (got her hooked on these products), and any of their other retailers.
