BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

 Life cycle: Perennial

'Huancabamba' is a tall, stately, columnar cactus from Peru, said to be a Peruvian torch cactus (Trichocereus peruvianus). Closely related to — and possibly a hybrid with — the more well-known San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), both species have a long history of use as medicine and in spiritual/shamanistic practices. Like San Pedro, this species contains mescaline, the hallucinogenic substance that gives peyote its potency, though torch cactus contains far less mescaline than peyote and is legal to grow and possess. Huancabamba is a town in northern Peru, in the foothills of the Andes, and is widely considered a major spiritual center thanks to the presence of lagoons above the town that are regarded as sacred as well as the large number of traditional healers (curanderas & curanderos) who practice there.

Peruvian torch cacti are fast-growing (up to 18 inches per year) and can get very tall in the wild (up to nearly 20 feet!). They take well to container culture and can stand being overwatered more than most cacti. They are relatively frost hardy, able to withstand temperatures down to 26 degrees, but they are unlikely to be able to survive year-round below USDA Zone 9. Their white flowers are spectacularly beautiful.

We got our seed from our friends at Sheffield's Seed Company in Locke, NY, who report that it was grown in Florida. There are some questions online about whether or not the 'Huancabamba' strain of Peruvian torch cactus is actually a hybrid with San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), so it wouldn't be unexpected to find some diversity among the seedlings these seeds produce.

GROWING TIPS: Seeds are surprisingly easy to grow, needing no pre-treatment of any kind. They do require light to germinate, so they should be surface-sown. Keep moist until seedlings appear.

Very impressed
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really impressed by this serum! Got this to soothe my skin after overdoing it with too many different “actives”, and it gently and quickly got rid of redness and flaking, restored my skin barrier, and left my skin so moisturized and supple that I didn’t even feel like I needed lotion or cream afterwards. And it’s a GENEROUSLY sized glass bottle, too! I will definitely be trying other products from this brand!

Best skincare product ever
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This ampoule is THE BEST THING EVER. I’ve been in the skincare industry since 1996 and I’ve never used a product that works as well as this. I have sensitive oily skin and it has a lot of redness. After the first use the redness was completely gone and the hydration was noticeable. Do not pass on this stuff! Highly recommend it for anyone wanting immediate hydration. It’s thin and isn’t sticky or tacky. It feels like I don’t have anything on my face but the benefits are definitely noticeable.

Good product, but requires consistent use
Size: 1.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this centella ampoule for a while now, and overall I like it. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and soothed. It’s especially nice for sensitive or irritated skin. However, one important thing to note is that the results are not immediate. In my experience, you start seeing improvements with consistent, long-term use rather than overnight. If you’re patient and use it daily, it can definitely help improve your skin’s appearance. Overall, it’s a good product, but it requires consistency to see full results.

Keeping this in my skincare regimen for the long-haul
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
No matter what skin type you are, you should have this in your lineup. I have larger pores - so sebaceous filaments & clogging. On top of the oiliness of my skin, I have more oily hair as well. But, I get dry patches like crazy. So it’s not easy to find products that meet all of my needs or are universal - it’s usually an “either or” situation. & I end up buying things for my drier days as well as products for my oily days instead of just one set of products. This is one that work well no matter what. There’s more than you’d expect based on the photos - the bottle is bigger. A little goes a long way. It’s very gentle. Great for barrier repair. Great for redness/irritation. A little goes a long way, but it can also be used more than once without being overwhelming. It’s great as a base for other serums/moisturizers, morning or night. It feels really good - clean & light (but not “light” as in ineffective, it still pulls its weight). Must have for anyone looking for trendy Korean glass-skin skincare - she’s one that will get you there without needing to invest in random “viral” products.

LOVEE (combo & oily skin) 🥹
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Pretty good! I loveee the applicator since it makes it really easy to apply. My skin has been super glowy ever since I’ve used this. Consistency is super thin and lightweight. My skin doesn’t exactly feel soft but looks really smooth. Despite it being this way, it hydrates super well!
