Packaging
The Skin 360° Starter Kit packaging feels fresh, calm, and quietly confident right out of the box.
The soft mint and white palette immediately reads clean and soothing. It’s the kind of packaging that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your skincare routine. Everything is clearly laid out, with each product illustrated and explained in a way that’s easy to understand.
As someone who appreciates thoughtful design, the presentation feels intentional and user-friendly. Aesthetically, it’s also the kind of product you’d happily leave out on your bathroom counter — always a bonus.
I appreciate how the GLW website breaks the routine down step-by-step for each product. It clearly outlines not only how to use them, but also the correct order of application.
The box itself explains how to use each product clearly; however, the application order isn’t immediately obvious from the packaging alone. Having that sequencing clearly outlined (as it is online) is something I personally find very helpful.
Ease of Use
One of the things I immediately appreciated about the Memétique 360 Starter Kit is how intuitive it feels. The products are clearly labeled, and it’s obvious how they’re meant to be incorporated into a routine. There’s very little guesswork, which makes the system approachable and easy to maintain — even on busy days.
I also love the clean, well-designed visuals on the packaging. They’re not only beautiful but genuinely helpful, reinforcing the steps and making the experience feel streamlined and user-friendly. It’s the kind of thoughtful design that encourages consistency — and to me, that’s just as important as the formulas themselves.
What Motivated Me to Try the Mimétique 360 Starter Kit
Living through a Montreal winter is no joke for your skin. Between the deep freeze, dry indoor heat, and constant temperature changes, I’m always looking for products that can truly keep my skin hydrated, comfortable, and plump — not just for an hour, but throughout the day.
Lately, I’ve also been noticing subtle shifts in my skin as I enter a new phase of life. Hormones, age, and lifestyle begin to play a bigger role, and I’ve become much more intentional about what I use. I’m less interested in complicated routines and more drawn to thoughtful, science-backed products that support skin health in a simple, realistic way.
That’s what motivated me to try the Memétique 360 Starter Kit. I love the idea of skincare that works with the skin — focusing on hydration, balance, and resilience — rather than chasing quick fixes.
My goal is healthy, happy skin that looks fresh and feels good, even in harsh winter conditions. And yes, I’m absolutely chasing that glow.
Early Use (Weeks 1–2): Incorporating It Into My Routine
In the first week or two, I found the Memétique 360 products very easy to incorporate into my existing routine. They naturally became my base — the core steps I reach for morning and night — without feeling like I had to overhaul everything I was already using.
What I especially appreciate is how well they layer with other products. I’ve been able to seamlessly incorporate actives like vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night without pilling, irritation, or added complexity. The Memétique products feel supportive rather than competitive, which makes them incredibly versatile.
Overall, the transition felt intuitive and low-effort — exactly what I look for in skincare I actually want to use consistently.
Mid-Point Check-In (Weeks 2–3)
By weeks two and three, I was beginning to see and feel a difference.
My skin felt more moisturized and softer, with a healthier, more supple texture. It seemed to retain hydration better throughout the day, and my overall complexion felt calmer and more comfortable.
I’ve been very consistent with the routine, using the products both morning and evening. The only product I ran out of before the 30-day mark was the Skin Cloud Cleansing Balm. It’s possible I was using slightly more than intended to ensure a thorough cleanse, so guidance on the ideal amount per use would be helpful.
I haven’t noticed dramatic differences tied to individual products; rather, the routine as a whole feels cohesive and gentle. My skin has responded in a balanced and comfortable way throughout.
At this stage, I would already recommend the products to a friend seeking improved hydration and overall skin comfort. While it was still early in the process, I was encouraged by the increased softness and moisture I was experiencing — and I looked forward to continued progress.
Final Check-In (Week 4)
After 30 days of consistent use, my skin feels consistently softer and more hydrated, with improved moisture retention throughout the day. I’m also noticing a healthy glow — something that feels particularly meaningful during the long, dry winter season.
The products met my expectations. I experienced sustained improvements in hydration, softness, and overall skin balance. The results felt progressive and supportive rather than overly aggressive, which aligns perfectly with what I look for in skincare.
What surprised me most was how consistently comfortable my skin felt — balanced, calm, and hydrated — even in harsh winter conditions.
Final Thoughts
If I were to continue with one product, it would be the Skin Revive Face Serum.
It was the standout for me and seemed to be the main contributor to the sustained softness and glow I experienced. The combination of hydrating and skin-revitalizing ingredients felt effective yet gentle, supporting moisture retention and overall skin vitality — particularly valuable during the dry winter season.
For anyone considering the Memétique 360 line, I would encourage consistent, twice-daily use and approaching the products as a complete system. The improvements I noticed were cumulative, and the formulas appeared to work synergistically — each step complementing the next to support hydration, softness, and overall skin balance.
Documenting my experience also helped me notice gradual shifts in hydration and texture that I may not have fully appreciated without intentional reflection.
Healthy, resilient, glowing winter skin? I’ll take it.

Getting Started
I was extremely drawn to Mimétique for the high quality ingredients and diverse products, so the starter kit was a perfect way to try some of their staples and incorporate them in my skincare routine. The sizes are perfect for travel, easy to use and the minimal packaging is very aesthetic.
I’m most curious to see how it performs for my sensitive and acne prone skin, I’m looking for hydration, products that will not clog my pores, and of course, GLOW!
Week 1–2
I can tell I am already obsessed with the eye cream, it’s rich but absorbs quickly and I can use it all over my eyes. It’s fragrance-free and doesn’t sting my eyes at all, already a clear winner!
I really enjoy the subtle almond scent of the Skin Restore cream and the texture is so pleasant on my skin. I love how hydrating this line is!
The cleansing balm is probably THE most hydrating balm I’ve tried in a while. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped at all, it’s nourishing but doesn’t have that gross film feeling. It’s perfect as a first step in removing my makeup.
I love the lightweight texture of the Skin Revive serum, it truly feels like water. I am sensitive to a lot of Vitamin C serums so incorporating it gently in my routine so far hasn’t caused any issues.
Week 2–3
Time for a tropical vacation! I’m excited to see how the products will perform in a warmer climate.
I have to say that after two weeks, I’ve started to see little bumps appear and more acne, which I suspect is the reaction to the Vitamin C, so I’ve been only using it sparingly.
My most used products during the trip were the cleansing balm and the face cream. The balm was essential to remove all the sunscreen and sweat at the end of the day, it did not disappoint! I followed it with a double cleanse (hello Facile!) and the Skin Restore cream, which soothed my skin after spending time in the sun. This combo was really great for maintaining my skin clean, clear of breakouts and hydrated. The packaging was perfect for travel and there is a lot of product as a little goes a long way! Loved having these products on hand.
Week 4
Back in the polar vortex!
The highlight for me was the eye cream (I will be restocking), especially in frigid cold weather as it keeps any dryness, patches or flareups at bay.
I love how the entire Mimétique line is very simple but powerful, hydrating and easy to incorporate in any skincare routine.
The face cream worked really well even when alternating with other creams in my routine.
The cleansing balm is fantastic as a first step in removing makeup and sunscreen, and it doesn’t sting my eyes!
I’ve had to pause on using the skin revive serum just because of my reactivity to Vitamin C, but that doesn’t mean the product doesn’t give major glow or benefits. It’s just less suited for my skin type.
I truly enjoyed using Mimétique! You can tell research, intention and quality ingredients are at the forefront of the line. It’s easy to use and delivers great results, especially for hydration and keeping a strong skin barrier even in the coldest climates. The 360 Starter Kit is a perfects way to discover new products and for travel!
ELINOR
Early Experience
1. How easy has it been to incorporate the product into your routine?
It’s been extremely easy to incorporate because it actually replaced a more complex routine. Having fewer steps made the transition seamless, and this routine feels more streamlined and manageable without sacrificing results. Even on nights when I am very tired, there is no reason to miss my skincare.
2. Have you noticed any immediate changes or effects since starting?
Yes, I noticed an immediate sense of calm and comfort in my skin, I think it appreciated the pared down routine. My skin feels less stressed overall, especially after cleansing, and there’s no tight or stripped feeling.
3. What has been your favorite part about using the product so far?
The simplicity of the routine has been a huge highlight, along with the textures. The cleansing balm in particular stands out — it melts into the skin beautifully and makes cleansing feel both effective and gentle.
4. Have you experienced any challenges or side effects?
No, I haven’t experienced any challenges or side effects. My skin has tolerated the products very well.
Mid-Point Check-In
1. Are you beginning to see or feel any results? Please describe.
Yes — I feel like the products have helped sustain the results I was already seeing with my previous (more complex, non-clean) routine. My skin feels balanced, comfortable, and well-maintained rather than experiencing any drop-off in performance, which is something I often notice when switching to clean products.
2. How consistent have you been in using the product?
I’ve been very consistent in using the products as part of my daily routine.
3. Have you noticed any changes in how you feel (energy, mood, skin, etc.)?
From a skin perspective, everything feels steady and supported. My skin feels calm and resilient, and I haven’t experienced any irritation or adjustment period, which I really appreciate.
4. Would you recommend the product to a friend at this point? Why or why not?
Yes, I would. One of the biggest surprises for me is that the products perform just as well as my previous routine — which isn’t always my experience with clean skincare. Unfortunately, the serum leaked in transit, so I didn’t get to use the serum long enough to fully evaluate it. That said, I plan to repurchase the full size so I can give it a proper trial, which says a lot about my confidence in the line overall.
30-Day Results
1. What results have you noticed after using the product for 30 days?
At the end of the products (they lasted under 30 days), my skin feels smooth, hydrated and glowy. The products sustained the results I previously achieved with a much more complex routine, without irritation or setbacks.
2. Did the product meet your expectations? Why or why not?
It actually exceeded my expectations. I’m often skeptical of clean skincare because I find performance can fall short, but these products delivered results while feeling both effective and gentle.
3. What surprised you most about your experience?
I was most surprised by how luxe a simple routine could feel — both in texture and overall experience. It completely changed my perception of what clean skincare can be. The packaging also stood out: simple, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed.
4. Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Yes, absolutely. I plan to incorporate the cleansing balm, and I am going to get a full size of the serum to see how it performs.
5. What advice would you give someone thinking of trying this product?
Don’t underestimate a streamlined routine. Be consistent and you will be glad you did!
6. Has documenting your journey helped you notice things you otherwise might not have?
Yes, documenting the process helped me notice how steady and consistent the results were over time. It highlighted how well my skin responded without ups and downs, which might have been easy to overlook otherwise.
FRANCESCA
Getting Started
• First impression of the products were easy to use. I loved that it was a whole starter kit, so you get to see how well the products work with each other. The packaging was clean and appealing.
• What motivated me to use this product was seeing KG post about it on her stories. Just hearing so many good things about the brand I was interested in getting it myself. The products would be sold out every time I checked so when I saw it being used for the glow insider, I said I have to get it!
• What I expect to get out of these products are a noticeable improvement in my skin, especially in areas of brightness, elasticity, skin dryness.
Week 1–2
• Very easy to incorporate products into my routine, especially helpful that I have the whole kit and can use the products together
• When I started I think my skin was in a really bad place, the temperatures had just started dropping and my skin was getting extremely dry all the time and in the pictures you can see some spots and scars that I was dealing with. I would say by 2 going into 3 I started noticing changes in my skin. Just more brightness, the spots were slowly fading.
• My favorite part of the routine I would say is just the end, after putting everything on it would really give my skin a shine that felt so satisfying to see!
• No concerns or challenges while using products.
Week 2–3
• At this point in the process, I am starting to see results. I feel my skin has felt more clean, hydrated and plump
• I have been consistent with the products. Since starting, these have been the only products I’m using.
• Yes I would recommend these products to others. Specifically to people who are looking to improve skin texture.
Week 4
• After testing for 30 days I have notice a great change in my skin. I feel like these products really helped bring life back into my skin and I think the greatest accomplishment for me was seeing improvement in my skin texture and skin barrier. Someone like me has struggled a lot with those areas so I would definitely say that these products have helped in those areas and have provided me with a more youthful, healthy looking skin!
• Products met my expectations because they did what they said they would do and I’ve been able to see the change over the last month.
• For me when products actually end up working and doing what they market themselves as is always surprising. I went through so many years of products and routines that did nothing for me. You can become really hopeless so I take such enjoyment in products that actually work! Which in this case all 4 products really were beneficial for my skin.
• I would definitely keep using these products and be interested in trying out others products mimitque has to offer.
• My advice to someone interested in trying these products is first know what your looking for. From what I noticed and read on the products they helped a lot with hydration and restoring skin firmness and providing more glow. This was all perfect for me especially during these winter times because that’s what the cold weather takes from you so all these products restored what my skin was losing. As with any product I think it’s more important to try things that you see your skin struggling with, instead of just trying a product for the hype of it.
• I’ve never really been consistent with documenting before, so this time has been really helpful. We all have insecurities, my skin has always been one for me and along the journey you still have those moments where you feel like your not doing enough or is this change real is it all in my head etc. so looking back at my pictures has been able to give me the proof that I really am making changes and the proof of my hard work is here.
KARLIE
Getting Started
-
I thought the packaging was really cute, and the products instructions were easy to follow.
-
I wanted to try this set because I have sensitive dry skin. I’m also a mom, so I’m looking for an easy routine that will actually work.
-
I wanted to ensure my skin stayed hydrated throughout the day.
Week 1–2
-
Products were really easy to use, didn’t have any issue incorporating into my routine.
-
The eye cream was the immediate stand out product. It was super hydrating and the texture was incredible. The cleansing balm was the second product that I became quickly obsessed with. It took off my makeup like a dream but didn’t leave a weird residue behind.
-
I love that the line is simple.
-
No challenges.
Week 2–3
-
My skin feels overall hydrated and less redness overall.
-
I have used morning and night, but I don’t typically wash my face in the morning.
-
My skin looked really healthy, which boosted my mood!
-
I would definitely recommend to friends. It is a simple line that does the job and I feel you can easily add in a retinol or other actives if needed.
-
I did want to note that I ran out of the moisturizer on week 3, that is my main gripe about the set. I feel the other products were enough for 4 weeks, but the moisturizer was not.
Week 4
-
My skin looks healthy and has less redness.
-
Yes, I really loved all of the items and I would purchase on my own.
-
I wasn’t sure that the toner was doing anything after the first week, but as the weeks went on the redness in my cheeks and around my nose subsided. Also, some of my old acne spots around my chin seemed lighter.
-
Yes, I plan to purchase full sizes of all the items.
-
I think if you buy the set you need to stick with it. Its super simple and anyone can benefit from these products.
-
Yes, I probably wouldn’t have noticed the redness as it is just something I’ve always lived with and it got better week by week.
-
One last note I did think that the lids were hard to screw on at the end of the products lifespan.
I loved the Mimetique 360 Starter Kit overall!

1- What were your first impressions of the product (packaging, instructions, ease of use)?
My first impressions of the packaging of the face cream and eye cream is that when I opened the seal and pushed out the product for first use, the product kept coming out uncontrollably, so I lost some product. Both gave me very hydrated skin and I am impressed with the textures of both face cream and eye cream. The face cream felt very plumping, not sticky or thick, the perfect texture. Kind of like putting a moisturizing serum/oil/cream on, it is perfection, and it really makes my face glow. The eye cream felt hydrating, plumping and really helped my dry creases around my eyes and gave my under eyes a glow on first application.
As for the face balm, I had no issues whatsoever. I wish it created more of a lather but other than that, my skin felt soft and plumped after the first use and hydrated. No tight feeling, did not burn the eyes when applied on eyes during face wash to remove eye makeup.
The serum was very easy to use and I was very happy that I did not need a cotton pad to apply the serum. The instructions were very straightforward and easy to understand. Serum was also great on first use, not sticky at all, thin texture.
ALL PRODUCTS SMELL INCREDIBLE!!!!
2- What motivated you to try this product?
Ever since Katherine has been raving about this brand, I have been so excited to try these products and I am so happy that I did!! I have seen it used from another social media influencer as well and they spoke highly of this brand.
3- Do you have any specific goals or concerns you hope this product will address?
I really hope that this product brightens my skin along with the few blemish spots that I have from blemish scars. I really hope that the eye cream, especially, will help with my dry outer corner creases, and fine lines.
Early Use (Week 1–2)
1- How easy has it been to incorporate the product into your routine?
It has been extremely easy as I already use a face cleanser, serum, and face cream so I just had to swap my products for this product line instead. I am extremely excited when I use the eye cream as I have never used this product before so I am excited to see results!!
2- Have you noticed any immediate changes or effects since starting?
Yes, I have seen a reduction of redness, especially around my nose area and between my eyebrows. Also my pores around my nose look more clean and less “dark”. My skin has also brightened in just one week!!!!
3- What has been your favorite part about using the product so far?
The face cream!! The texture is beyond anything I have used. It feels like a serum/oil/cream, I don’t know how to explain it. It is THAT good and extremely moisturizing and makes me glow!!
4- Have you experienced any challenges or side effects?
NO side effects whatsoever.
Midpoint Check-in (Week 2–3)
1- Are you beginning to see or feel any results? Please describe.
I noticed during week 2-3 that I started developing dryness around my chin area, and moving downwards towards mid-neck. I noticed it right after I put the face cream on so I am assuming it is from the cream. Other than that, my skin does not feel tight when I move my face up and down, just dryness in those specific areas. Other than that, my skin still continues to glow after application of all products. A great improvement in skin texture, not bumpy anymore, very smooth.
2- How consistent have you been in using the product?
I continue to use the products every single day, twice per day. (Other than the face balm cleanser that states to use once per day).
3- Have you noticed any changes in how you feel (energy, mood, skin, etc., depending on the product)?
No changes whatsoever, other than the dryness in those specific areas as stated previously.
4- Would you recommend the product to a friend at this point? Why or why not?
At this point, I would definitely recommend the product line to a friend because I LOVE the textures of every single product. I would not recommend face cream to a friend that has specifically dry skin in case it makes their skin dry in certain areas like it did to me but everything else is perfect. Especially for the eye cream, you get a large quantity for a very small tube. It will definitely last me much more than the specified amount of 28 days provided with the 360 kit, and it is SO hydrating for my eye area.
Final Check-in (Week 4)
1- What results have you noticed after using the product for 30 days?
I have noticed specifically around my nose, my pores look a lot cleaner and less darkened. I have noticed a reduction in redness throughout my face, with blemish spots lightened as well. I have also noticed a tremendous glow to my skin complexion which makes me so happy as I always wanted to have glowy skin. I also noticed a difference in the texture of my skin, as it isn’t bumpy anymore as I had a few bumps in a few areas that I really needed to have to exfoliate twice a week in order to see an improvement in my skin texture. Using this product line, I did not have to exfoliate twice a week but only once per week. My skin texture stayed surprisingly smooth after one week of use which definitely exceeded my expectations!!
2- Did the product meet your expectations? Why or why not?
The product line went beyond my expectations as I didn’t think my skin would have such a positive improvement. I didn’t expect to have such an improvement in my skin texture, pores, and reduction in redness.
3- What surprised you most about your experience?
That my skin texture was smooth after a couple of days of use, and that my redness decreased in the majority of areas that I wanted to treat by getting a professional facial. I am glad to say that I can wait a few more weeks as it is not a big deal anymore with the results I obtained from using this product line, to be honest.
4- Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Yes! I plan on specifically using the skin cloud, the eye cream, and the serum but not the face cream as it dried certain areas of my skin, as stated above.
5- What advice would you give someone thinking of trying this product?
TRY IT AND YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.
6- Has documenting your journey helped you notice things you otherwise might not have?
1000% yes!!!!! This is the first time I ever took weekly before and after pictures, and it honestly influenced me to keep doing this every time I try a new product line.
No products in the cart.
