Our favourite Australian natural skin care brands produce samples and testers of their products to allow customers to test drive their products before trying the full size. There are two main reasons to do this.

The first reason is to see if the product performs for you. Depending on the product, your sample or factory packed travel mini may give you a few days trial to see if you notice the results you’re after.

The second reason is patch testing. Just because something is made from natural ingredients doesn’t mean it will suit everyone. Patch test a small amount of skin repeatedly over a few days and watch for reactions before using on your whole face. Testing once is not enough. Patch testing requires repeated application to be effective.
