Welcome to GLW Insiders! We put the Saint Jane Petal Cream to the test with our GLW Insiders — and their honest month-long feedback did not disappoint. Insiders shared their journey through photos and videos, giving you an authentic look at how the product really works in everyday life.
Here is an overview of what the insiders said:
-
Luxurious feel & packaging: Heavy glass pump bottle that feels like a treat on your vanity.
-
Gentle but effective: Lightweight texture, subtle floral scent, and zero irritation, even for sensitive skin.
-
Glow + texture improvement: By week 3–4, several Insiders saw smoother skin, reduced roughness, and a radiant “glass skin” effect.
-
Brightening power: The formula includes vitamin C; a few users reported fading of dark spots and more even tone.
-
A routine staple: Easy to incorporate (many used it morning + night), plus it made a beautiful base under makeup.
Bottom line: Many of our Insiders plan to repurchase. It’s not just pretty, it really delivers.
Try it yourself and let us know what you think!
Below are the individual reviews for each Insider – with videos & pictures!

First Impressions:
The packaging of Saint Jane is really a highlight of the product. It is weighty, substantial, and the pump made it super easy to reach for and apply. It looks lovely on the counter, which also helped me remember to consistently use it each morning under makeup. It is something you want to display and doesn’t take up too much room. It has fragrance, but not overpowering I found.
Motivation:
I struggle with some dark spots, texture, and roughness on my cheeks. I use a lot of products, including Korean Beauty and various masks, but I have an almost KP like roughness on lower jaw that only goes away with a microdermabrasion for a few days. In picture, I also started off with dullness on my cheeks. The ingredients of the Saint Jane petal cream include Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, and flower botanicals which gives it the name ‘petal cream’ which I have not tried or seen something on the market like it before.
Week 1:
-Super easy to use, again, it looks lovely on the counter and reminded me to use it. I noticed the 2nd day of using it that roughness had already improved. It made my makeup look more hydrated and worked perfectly as a primer for dry skin.
-End of week 1 and this is my results. So far impressed with repair to texture. I have dry sensitive skin and there were no reactions to my sensitive skin, which is impressive actually. I was initially worried about the fragrance, but it does smell nice.
Week 2:
-Similar results to week one, my skin drinks this and seems to really penetrate without sitting on the top layer of my skin. Vitamin C in this product is nice, it is making my skin more clear and even, and the potency of it working with the other ingredients is effective but not too harsh.
Week 3:
-I was maintaining improved texture and softness and was happy with these results, but after the third week, I began to notice a shiny glass skin effect on my forehead in picture below, and I actually felt confident to go shopping without makeup as my skin looked radiant. This made me inclined to repurchase!
Week 4:
– I have used the Saint Jane Petal cream every day for thirty days and it has ticked all the boxes for me. This is the first time I have used this brand. It has really pretty but functional packaging, effective ingredients that are safe for sensitive skin, and it works! I feel that texture, roughness, and dryness has really improved.
-From week 1 to week 4 the two dark spots on my cheek have lightened somewhat, and brightness has improved considerably from dull before. Spot on my nose has faded! The reason I would repurchase is the radiant hydrated sheen it begins to give after three weeks of using consistently, and how easy it was to remember to use it due to the way it sits elegantly on your counter. I am excited to try other products from the line to see how it compliments, but the petal cream seems like an ongoing staple for me that incorporates both vitamin c and hydration/makeup primer in one step. I would repurchase.

I used this cream once a day (in the morning). I noticed more hydration throughout the day as I have been prone to having dryer skin in certain areas of my face. I was specifically watching if it would lighten up my one dot i have under my left eye from a previous pimple that was pretty bad. I have noticed throughout the weeks it has lightened up quite a bit. I am sure that is also because of other products i have used with this petal cream. I absolutely love Saint Jane products and already use a ton of them so I will continue to use this product as well!
Packaging: 10/10
Hydration of product: 7/10 – I have other moisturizers that offer better hydration hence why i only used this in the morning.

The packaging itself is chic, beautiful. The product has been easy to add to my morning routine, after my Vitamin C serum I applied the hydrating cream and SPF on top.
The product is very light but hydrating doesn’t leave a greasy finish. The cream has a stronger smell than most of my products, it smells like rose water.
On my right side, I have hyperpigmentation due to pregnancy over the weeks. We can slowly see that it’s fading.
I will definitely finish the product and see if it helps more with my hyperpigmentation due to its ingredients and Vitamin C.

GETTING STARTED
First impressions: luxurious packaging: heavy feel, sleek design. Instructions make it easy to use. I just pump the product into my hand and apply it to my face. I enjoy the use of the pump. The smell isn’t overpowering but definitely noticeable – the smells adds to the luxurious feeling to the application. it gives “expensive hotel / product” vibes. Lightweight texture – almost feels like a light gel/water based . Smooth application
Goals/skin concerns: overall, I aim to brighten my skin, keep it clear, and benefit from the anti-aging properties. Also want something hydrating as my skin gets much drier in the colder months.
EARLY USE
It has been very easy to incorporate into my routine – it has been my final step in my skincare both morning and night. I use about two pumps after my serum and apply it to my face and neck. What is did notice is I like it more as a daytime moisturizer – I enjoy something more lightweight in the morning. I also use a vitamin c serum in the morning and like that it adds extra vitamin c.
I have not noticed any changes in week 1. Overall, I enjoy the luxurious feel it gives and I get excited to use to. No challenges experienced yet.
MIDPOINT CHECK IN
I still have not noticed any changes in my overall skin. My skin does feel brighter and glowy-er when applying the product right away. Because of this, it acts as a good, glowy base for makeup. There is no pilling and it does not accentuate any pores/imperfections.
I have used this product every day, following my morning skincare and evening skincare. As mentioned last week, I enjoy it much more in the morning as it gives a more lightweight finish. The product does state to have hyaluronic acid for moisture, but I do wish it was more hydrating for the evening (I typically use a thicker cream for my nighttime moisturizer or add an oil)
I would recommend it to my friends who don’t have any major skin concerns – just looking for a new lightweight moisturizer that user clean ingredients but has an elevated and luxurious feel. My favorite part of using it is the feeling it gives me and knowing that it is a “better for you”/ non toxic skincare product. I also like it before applying my makeup.
FINAL CHECK IN
To be honest, I don’t notice a difference between my initial pictures or how my skin looks overall. When applying, my skin looks bright, clear, and glowy which I do like. But I don’t notice any changes (ie. hyperpigmentation and dark spots, breakouts, pores). It states to have deep hydration benefit which I did not really feel. As the weather is getting colder, I prefer a more rich and thick moisture. I feel as though I need to add some drops of oil into the moisturizer when applying it at nighttime. I do not see a change in any fine lines/wrinkles either. (Maybe if I had more noticeable wrinkles I would, but wrinkles aren’t a big concern for me at the moment – I just like the preventative anti-aging benefits)
Yes, I still plan to use this product but I will use it as my morning moisturizer or pre-makeup base. I like the lightweight feel and glowy, smooth base it gives me.
The advice I would give is to use it if you have normal or combo skin, not dry. Even though it states that it is hydrating, I find that it absorbs fast and I don’t feel deep hydration.

Would you recommend the product to a friend at this point? Why or why not?
I 100% would recommend this to a friend. I’ve been raving about it so much every time I put it on that my husband even started using it. And even when he tried it on for the first time, he was shocked at how amazing his skin felt after putting it on.
Final Check-in
What results have you noticed after using the product for 30 days?
I definitely noticed that the red pigmentation that I had on my face earlier in the month are starting to heal and I really think it’s because of this product.

It really helped with my overall complexion.
Did the product meet your expectations?
It 100% surpassed my expectations! I didn’t think I’d see a difference in my skin but I see a huge improvement.
What surprised you most about your experience?
The results only a month in. It’s rare for me to see any results when I implement a new item to my skincare regiment especially only a month in. I’m happily surprised.
Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Yes absolutely!
What advice would you give someone thinking of trying this product?
Document your experience! You’ll be surprised at how just a week of application will do improve your skin!
Has documenting your journey helped you notice things you otherwise might not have?
Without a doubt! I definitely wouldn’t have noticed the pigmentation/texture improvement even after only a week in.

Yes and no. I was disappointed about the breakouts, because I loved the texture, ingredients, and smell of the cream. I am glad it worked for my chest area and it did not go to waste!
What surprised you most about your experience?
My skin really does not like shea butter (I assume).
Do you plan to continue using the product after this month?
Unfortunately no.

Make sure to check the ingredients, especially if acne prone.

What were your first impressions of the product? My first impression was very positive. The packaging feels luxurious and elegant, and the cream itself has a soft, floral scent. The instructions were simple and easy to follow, and the product was straightforward to use. The texture feels lightweight and smooth when applying it to the skin.
What motivated you to try this product? I wanted to try this product because I needed a new face cream that could help with my dryness and reduce the appearance of my small wrinkles.
