At 43, my skin seems to be getting drier by the moment. What worked in my 30s wasn't cutting it anymore. I’ve found that hydration and a little brightness make all the difference in how confident I feel. My main concerns are dry, aging, and perimenopausal skin.
Green Envee has also become a bit of a family affair. My niece likes it for keeping her skin balanced, while my mom loves it for maintaining softness and brightness.
Because I’m mindful about what I eat and what I put on my skin, I naturally gravitate toward plant-based skincare made with thoughtfully chosen ingredients. I like knowing that what I’m using aligns with how I live, but at this point in my life, I also need my skincare to work.
I was first introduced to Green Envee while visiting Heaven on Earth in Aspen, and it’s been my skincare staple ever since. The whole experience feels elevated, clean, simple, and a little bougie in the best way.
But it’s how my skin looks and feels that keeps me hooked.
What’s My Green Envee Routine?
Most mornings, I start with Green Envee Soothe Herbal Cleansing Cream. The creamy texture feels soothing on my dry skin and leaves it soft and comfortable rather than tight.
Sometimes I add a little Green Envee Illuminate Enzyme Cleansing Powder for extra brightening and smoothing. This cleansing powder is so fun. Mixed with water or my cleanser, it gives me gentle exfoliation, and the light citrus fragrance is uplifting to me.
At night, I use Green Envee Purify Botanic Cleansing Oil to “take the day off.” I love how it melts away my makeup and SPF and then rinses easily with water without leaving my skin feeling oily. Bergamot is an instant mood lifter. I love it as part of my end-of-the-day routine because it makes something as simple as washing my face feel a little luxurious.

Which Green Envee Serums Keep My Skin Hydrated and Glowy?
First, I apply Green Envee H.A. Collagen Boosting Serum for hydration. It’s been a game-changer for my dry skin and makes those little lines that become more noticeable when I'm dehydrated look softer. (Thank you, Pila!) It sinks in beautifully and gives my skin that soft, bouncy feel I love, especially with Austin’s unpredictable weather.
Next comes Green Envee Glow C+ Brightening Serum. With consistent use, I’ve noticed my complexion looks brighter and more even. Dullness was becoming more noticeable to me, and this has become one of the products I reach for specifically for that.
I also use Green Envee Mandelic Resurfacing Serum 8% for uneven texture and tone. I love the smoother, more refined look it gives my skin without making it feel like I’m overdoing the exfoliation.
I know some people only use mandelic acid at night, but I asked Pila if I could use it in the morning instead. I just love the glow it gives me. She gave me the go-ahead for my routine, and it’s been part of my daytime skincare ever since. Of course, I always wear sunscreen.
Finally, I finish with Green Envee Protect Antioxidant Moisturizer and Green Envee Sun Shield Serum.
It sounds like a lot when I list everything out, but it doesn't feel complicated when I'm actually doing it. Each product has a purpose in my routine.
What’s My Winter Green Envee Upgrade?
Believe it or not, Austin can get cold! It's even been known to snow.
When the weather turns cooler and my skin starts feeling drier, I add Green Envee Firm Collagen Gel Masque for some extra hydration.
I also reach for one of my favorites, Green Envee Flora Elixir Botanic Oil Serum. Just a few drops give my skin the extra nourishment and softness I want when the air turns crisp and dry.
It’s one of those products that makes my routine feel a little more luxurious without adding another complicated step.
Is Green Envee Worth the Price?
In my opinion, yes.
After trying so many skincare lines over the years, Green Envee is one I continue to use because I love how my skin looks and feels. My skin feels more hydrated and softer, and my complexion looks smoother, brighter, and more even.
The products look beautiful on my counter, but more importantly, I enjoy using them and I’ve seen a difference in my skin. A little also goes a long way, and the products have lasted longer than I expected.
I think of Green Envee as an investment in my skin, but also as something I genuinely enjoy using every day.
If you’ve been searching for an honest Green Envee skincare review, especially because your skin is becoming drier or changing with perimenopause, this has been my experience with the line.
It feels like quiet luxury, but in the most grounded, natural way.
And yes, still a little bougie.

A Note From Pila
What I like about Jenn’s routine is that every product has a reason for being there. She isn't using Green Envee simply because everything comes from the same line.
That’s how I recommend skincare too. Start with what your skin needs, then choose the products that address those concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Green Envee Skincare
Q: Is Green Envee good for dry skin?
A: Green Envee has several products that can work well for dry and dehydrated skin. Jenn uses H.A. Collagen Boosting Serum for hydration and adds Flora Elixir when her skin needs more nourishment. Which one makes sense depends on whether your skin is lacking water, oil, or both.
Q: Is Green Envee good for sensitive skin?
A: Some Green Envee products can work well for sensitive skin, but plant-based doesn't automatically mean every formula is right for every sensitive or reactive skin. I prefer choosing products individually and introducing more active formulas according to your skin's tolerance.
Q: Can I use Green Envee during perimenopause?
A: Yes. As skin changes during perimenopause, dryness and dehydration can become more noticeable. Rather than choosing skincare based on age alone, I recommend looking at what has changed in your skin and choosing products that address those specific concerns.
Q: Can I mix Green Envee with other skincare brands?
A: Absolutely. You don't need to use one skincare line exclusively. Green Envee can easily be incorporated alongside products from other brands based on what your skin needs.
Q: Which Green Envee product should I try first?
A: Start with your main concern. For dehydration, consider H.A. Collagen Boosting Serum. For dry skin that needs more nourishment, Flora Elixir is a beautiful option. For uneven texture or dark spots, Mandelic Resurfacing Serum 8% may make more sense. My Green Envee Skincare Guide goes into more detail about choosing by skin concern.
