My Honest Three Ships Products Review

Three Ships (formerly NIU Body) has been a fave skincare brand of mine since I discovered them and got hooked on their products at the beginning of this year. All of their products are natural, cruelty-free, vegan, pregnancy-safe, and free from parabens, mineral oil, silicones, etc. 

After their rebrand to “Three Ships” in July 2020, they launched a couple of new products and I’ve had the pleasure to try them out as well!

Today I’m going to give an updated review on my thoughts for each product I’ve tried so far, plus share my thoughts on the newbies as well.




Radiance Moisturizer


This is a recent launch since they rebranded and I've used it a few times so far. I really like the "pump" packaging (you can see what I mean here) and I love how it makes my skin feel. (It's one of the last steps in my skincare routine). It contains ingredients such as Grape Stem Cell Extract, Squalene, and Prickly Pear Oil. These are all great anti-aging ingredients. I'm all for anti-aging and sun protection, however, this does not replace my regular SPF in my skincare routine. I lather that on after this moisturizer!

Dew Drops


When Dew Drops was released in October 2020,  I was super excited about this one. It's a water-based serum and Three Ships' take on a hyaluronic acid serum with Tremella mushroom and Kakadu Plum. I am obsessed with the literal "dew drop" effect that this serum has and a little bit goes a long way. It starts off as a plump little drop in your hand and as soon as you spread it in your fingertips, it bursts into a watery smooth texture that glides on the skin. It claims to brighten, even redness, and firm up skin. 



I've been using this product for just over a month now, and I'm loving it. I think I used too much at first (like I said, a little bit goes a long way), so at first I noticed little bumps (almost like whiteheads) on my skin, but once I gave it another try with WAY less product, I noticed a significant difference in the texture of my skin. This product is also great for my oily skin because it is water-based and doesn't make my skin feel oily or greasy in any way.

Purify Cleanser


This will forever be one of my favourite cleansers. My acne-prone skin has been in love ever since I first started using this back in February


It claims to have an advanced zero-alcohol formula that is loaded with natural amino acids and nourishing aloe vera - proven to hydrate and repair your skin without stripping it of its natural oils. 



As I said, I am in love with this cleanser! It makes my normally oily skin feel extra fresh and leaves my skin feeling smooth and matte (just how I like it). I love how it contains Aloe as well, which has amazing moisturizing benefits, so I know it won't dry out my skin. The key to oily skin is keeping it balanced - and this product really does help with that! This cleanser also contains salicylic acid, which combats and prevents blemishes (which I am used to getting all the time!).


Overall, it's a very gentle product and does its cleansing job very well for my skin type.

Glow Serum


I know I was just raving about the Dew Drops serum, but the Glow Serum is up there as well. In fact, I might even like the Glow Serum more but let's not make Dew Drops jealous.


It's a lightweight formula, highly concentrated with jojoba oil, camellia seed oil is high in vitamins A, B, D, and E. It claims to help minimize the appearance of pores and balances oily T-zones due to its nearly identical chemical structure to sebum (which is exactly what I need!). 



I have enjoyed using this serum immensely. Whenever I use this serum (even for a few days), I notice that my skin is brighter (less dull), and clearer (less breakouts) and definitely brings out a glow in my complexion. Like, a literal glow! I totally understand where this serum gets its name from. 


The reason why I would say I prefer Glow over Dew Drops is because I've noticed that oil-based products actually work really well for my oily skin. It may sound super weird, but there are many articles I've read that the best way to fight oil build-up on the skin, is with oil! You can read more about my oil-based product discoveries for oily skin here.


Another bonus of this product: the blend of essential oils also makes this serum give a true sensory experience that relaxes me right away. I always include it in my bedtime skincare ritual!

Cherry Lip Scrub


My lips can always use a good scrub and I love the smell/taste of this amazing cherry exfoliator. This will come in handy especially now that cooler months are approaching!
