Queen of Hungary Astringent

This Apple Cider Vinegar astringent is based on a legend from the 1300's when Queen Elizabeth was said to have used an herbal infusion to restore her youthful beauty. After using it, the 70 year old Queen received a marriage proposal from the Grand Duke of Lithuania who was in his mid to late 20's. Their union made her the de facto Queen of Hungary.

Let me start by saying I travel for work, and I purchase boutique local skincare products all over the USA. I’ve tried too many products and am rarely impressed. This product is impressive! I bought a smaller bottle at Junkstock while working in Nebraska and about halfway through that bottle I was pretty blown away at how much I loved this product, and ordered a full size bottle. I’ve also had family try it, and they’re all now obsessed. This is now a staple in my skincare routine. I’m in my 40’s, combo skin where the oily parts are VERY oily, and the dry parts are brutally dry and scaly. Redness issues. This has evened out the oil levels of my skin, prevented breakouts (I am prone to those awful deep cystic ones), and helped soothe the redness. It has a slight vinegar smell but becomes very pleasant after just a moment. Absolutely recommend!
First time using the astringent, absolutely love it! Works well on my pores and skin congestion! I love Apothe-Curyous products. Sometimes I will try other products and always come back to Apothe-Curyous facial products. True clean products!!

A light whipped night time breeze of a face cream that is gentle and soft. Love it!
These shampoo bars are not only beautiful, but they also make my hair look great and has my scalp healthy. The shampoo bar leaves my hair and scalp feeling clean for days and I don't use anything else now. I keep a couple on hand for gifts and my friends have felt the same.
Love the way the product feels.
Delivers as Promised
Daily face cream really is heavenly on my seasoned skin!
I really love the Rhassoul Hair Clean solution even though it's a little messy as it is not your usual "shampoo." Right after I put it on, I put on a shower cap to contain the dripping. Because I like the results, this routine is no big deal.
Great product! The wildflower fragrance is amazing.
My favorite face moisturizer. I thought I had oily skin until I used this product! I realized I was just using the wrong stuff lol. I've been using the Lavender & Ho Wood Divine Cream for two years now. This keeps my skin moisturized without being oily, in summer as well as winter. It also smells delicious. I pair this product with Saving Face serum for an added boost!
Love this night cream. Not too heavy but heavy enough! I am really picky when it comes to my face products and have been using this for over a year!
I've got combination skin, prone to getting too oily or too dry with the wrong products. This cleanser keeps my face feeling moisturized even after washing, without feeling oily! It also smells fantastic. I use this in conjunction with Divine Cream face moisturizer and Saving Face serum. Highly recommend!
I purchase this handsome cream for my 88 year old father. He has tried many handcreams snd loooves this one best of all. He uses it every night before bed and it helps his hands like no other!
i love the feel and the scent! A favorite product.
I gave this as a hostess gift and the woman who received it remarked on its great smell. I know this hand cream works since I use it on my hands and feet everyday!
I love this stuff. My face always feels sooo nice after I cleanse it with this. A little goes a long way so you definitely get a lot of product for the price. I’d 100% recommend this to anyone who tends to have dry/combo skin.
