I got a rash on my underarm two days back in the office.I thought I will apply the barrier repair serum and see. It worked wonderfully well and healed it overnight.

As someone who applies moisturiser 3 times a day, I didn’t feel any need to do this when I was using Terra. I was using laneige Cica mask at night and this has comfortably and completely replaced the use of that mask for me, that mask now feels heavier to me

As someone with dry skin, I had to apply a moisturiser and then Vaseline on top to make sure my skin doesn’t feel dry through the day. With terra I just needed one application and the hydration lasted the whole day!

YOUR ROUTINE GUIDE HERE
-
Most moisturisers hydrate the surface. Terra works at the barrier level — Ceramide NP replenishes the skin's lipid matrix, Sodium Polyglutamate Crosspolymer reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and skin-identical NMFs (Proline, Arginine, Serine) reinforce the skin's natural moisture-binding system. The result is structural repair, not just temporary surface softness.

Apply Terra right after cleansing, on clean and dry skin. This lightweight serum for dry skin absorbs easily and layers well under or over Fika—our pigmentation targeting serum—as well as sunscreens or facial oils.
Suitable for both morning and night use, Terra supports daily skin barrier repair by keeping the skin hydrated, balanced, and resilient throughout the day.

Yes. Terra is designed to support barrier function before, during, and after active use. Apply Terra after cleansing, let it absorb, then layer your active. Its Ceramide NP and soothing botanical complex help minimise the sensitivity and dryness that often accompanies retinoid or exfoliant use. Suitable for both morning and evening.

This is exactly what Terra was formulated for. Persistent dryness despite moisturising is typically a sign of compromised barrier function — surface hydration evaporates quickly when TEWL is high. Terra's ceramide + NMF + Sodium Polyglutamate complex addresses both hydration delivery and moisture retention simultaneously.

Our founder's thoughts
Customers praised this barrier repair serum for dry and sensitive skin as "lightweight" and quickly absorbed. Many noticed softer, hydrated skin with a healthy glow. Shoppers loved it works under makeup and reduces need for multiple products. One noted hydration isn't very long-lasting, and another mentioned a slight yellowish tint.
- Skin started to feel calmer and much softer by morning
- Lightweight, absorbs quickly, sits beautifully under makeup
- I don't feel the need to layer multiple products anymore
Using TERRA for last few days and honestly wasn’t expecting to notice anything so soon but my skin started to feel calmer and much softer by morning. I am applying twice a day before my usual moisturiser application. Also noticed that a little amount goes a long way which is great. I was lately dealing with dry & dullness but somehow this product is working great. Definitely keeping this in my skincare routine. Highly recommend it.
I've really been enjoying the Terra Barrier Repair Serum. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling calm and hydrated without any greasy feeling. It sits beautifully under makeup and has become such a nice addition to my skincare routine.
Sorry for late review this cream is great my skin looks so clean and healthy. Just loved it.
I tried their FIKA moisturiser and it’s really amazing. My pigmentation has been the lightest since I started using it . Skin has cleared up and feels very soft and the packaging is sleek and easy to use❤️
So lightweight and my skin is healing from inside out . Love this ❤️
I have followed Achla’s journey with skincare for a while now. When she launched this I was excited to try them.
The attention to detail speaks so much about her understanding of skin care and ingredients-first formulations. Love how the packaging informs the users and establishes trust.
I have been trying this set from last few weeks and particularly love to use them to unwind after a long day. My favourite is Terra as it not only soothes my skin but makes them feel more supple.
If you are like me who is a skincare enthusiast and are looking for clean, minimal yet effective formulations , do give it a go :))
WOW. Just WOW.
Usually I struggle to find a cleanser/oil/balm that will take off even the base level foundation or tinted sunscreen I wear.
But your balm! Whatta wow! It took everything off. In one go. The fragrance - incredible
The after effect on skin - so soft and supple. Like it hasn't been stripped off its basics. And I have dry skin in mind and most likely a normal skin in reality but the after effect delivered on both skin types.
So so so so very good.
I also tried Fika and Tera and it leaves your skin so feeling nice. The experience, packaging, texture, application is just brilliant.
The founder is a skin care nerd and it shows in her formulations.
My dry skin has got so much better after using this product. I use it every day at night and I over the weeks I have noticed fines lines on my forehead reducing. Definitely recommend it.
The Fika Pigmentation serum is so good. It is light-weight and a light fragrance. I have been using this Serum alot lately. It has helped in reducing my dark spots. The texture is also good. It blends well into the skin.

Really good product, i can see visible difference on my face , skin feels much lively and gives this nice glow too
The Terra serum is lightweight and easily gets absorbed in the skin. I’m able to use it Peak summer at 45C and it doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. I think my skin feels softer after using it for a month. However the hydration isnt very long lasting. So that is something that could be made better. Overall love the product!
The customer care and product were great
The product is really good. Generally my skin feels dry even if I don't apply cream for day but in case Terra, it's not the same. I have noticed that my skin feels more soft and supple and in case I miss one day, it doesn't dry up next day.
I have used Terra over a period of ten days and am happy overall with the moisturizing effect.
I have dry skin and this really helped me. my skin looks rested and I donthave to reapply moisturiser
I’ve been using TERRA for the past couple of weeks, and I wanted to share my experience so far. Honestly, my skin has been feeling nourished and deeply hydrated. What I love most is that this one product feels sufficient on its own — I don’t feel the need to layer multiple products anymore. It feels very lightweight and comfortable on the skin. The fragrance is also lovely. I use it a base before make up and the foundation doesn't crease or feel cakey... I can genuinely see and feel the difference — it’s truly working for me.

good but leaves a yellowish tint
I loved Fika. Waiting to see what it does for my pigmentation and marks.
Loved the texture of Terra and how it feels on my skin. One small feedback. It has a slight fragrance which though is not unpleasant but did not work for me. Will be trying the cleansing balm next.
All the best Achla. Cheering for you.

Thank you, Vidushi.
Yes, both Terra and FIKA contain essential oils; we do not use any artificial fragrances in any of our products. As you rightly mentioned, scent is a very personal preference.
We are happy to be taking care of your skin, and we always appreciate honest feedback.
About 2 weeks in with products from the skin beneath
So far, I’m really liking how gentle and calming the products feel on my skin. The cleansing balm removes makeup and sunscreen without that tight, dry feeling, and my skin feels comfortably hydrated after every use.
I’ve noticed less irritation and a healthier, balanced feel overall. Excited to see how things progress with continued use!
Skin felt super moisturised and soft
My skin barrier was compromised. I connected with them via Instagram; immediately, they responded and shipped Terra for me to try. I must say, Fika and Terra are just two products you need. They're a perfect solution for all skin problems. Thank you for Terra and Fika.
The serum's texture is very lightweight, and my skin feels hydrated. Fika is really helping me with pigmentation.
The Review is for Cedar of the forest ! what an incredible product it is !! It cleances the skin so well, without making it dry & the smell is so divine !! I think it secretly moisturises your skin as well. The skin feels so fresh, moist, Clean & amazing after cleansing, It is the best cleanser that i have used !! Kudos to the founder for creating such an amazing product !!
It gives your face a. very smooth texture.. good for Indian skin...
Using it n loving it ...
Loved the Fika. I have always had blemish prone skin which lead to dark spots , since I have been using Fika. I already feel they are a lot lighter and feel hydrated. Love the smell too♥️
