First Impression 178 Natural Beauty Natural Bea... May 2026

We have all been there. You see the words “Natural Beauty” splashed across a sleek, minimalist bottle. Your brain whispers: “This is going to be good for my skin. No harsh chemicals. Just pure, earthy magic.”

Is it worth it? Compared to The Ordinary ($10), no. Compared to Drunk Elephant ($70), yes. FIRST IMPRESSION 178 Natural Beauty NATURAL BEA...

Here is my raw, unfiltered first impression—before the full 30-day trial, before the hype wears off. First things first: 178 knows packaging. The frosted glass bottle feels heavy (premium), and the dropper is that perfect soft-touch rubber. We have all been there

The box says “unscented natural ingredients,” but my nose picked up a strong, earthy, almost dirt-and-oatmeal aroma. If you love the smell of a health food store floor right after it’s been mopped, you will love this. If you prefer roses or vanilla, brace yourself. No harsh chemicals

If you have —patch test this first. That natural fragrance (even if it’s just plant extracts) can bite sensitive skin.
