Super friendly staff and their products are great! They work wonders! Def try them out and maybe get some samples! They’ll help you out with whatever skin concerns you may have but they have skincare, hair products, soaps, and more.

I've been coming to Lather in Pasadena for well over a decade back when it was originally on the other side of Colorado Boulevard. While I miss the old location, the products and the service continue to be top notch. I will admit I've gone through various skincare phases and bought everything from drugstore to high-end. Recently I have kept the basics of cleansing and moisturizing simple: gentle products without much fragrance, like Cetaphil. However, there are a number of products at Lather that I continue to rely on. Lather has products for virtually every skin type and concern you might have. I'm a fan of their Ultra Light Face Lotion, a very lightly scented moisturizer. I had been using CeraVe for months, but found that when I used a pharmaceutical skin cream along with it, I got a great deal of redness and irritation. Probably from one of the active ingredients in CeraVe. As soon as I went back to the Ultra Light Face Lotion, my skin calmed down. Another product I'm a fan of is their 10-minute Brightening Mask With Glycolic Acid. It's quite a powerful exfoliater that I would recommend easing yourself into. I find it works great in conjunction with products for evening skin tone like Tretinoin (Retin-A) and Hydroquinone. It's admittedly quite enjoyable just visiting the store and smelling the various products: they have a general trend of light floral or herbal notes: pleasant, but you're not left smelling like a garden. I enjoy the soaps for both their fragrance and their non-drying character. I especially enjoy the one containing patchouli. I have always received excellent service while shopping there. I'm almost always remember from past visits and greeted warmly. The staff have always been willing to answer questions and provide samples if you don't want to plop down a 40 dollars on a product you're unsure about (big props for that). They are also very liberal with samples. So, yeah. Good products. Good staff. Good store. Stop by.

The entire Lather team is highly knowledgeable and honest about their products, which is incredibly helpful for those who aren't quite familiar with beauty supplies overall (like myself). The team's hospitality only elevated the blending bar experience, as well as the overall shopping experience. The store itself is well organized, with many (but not too many) options to choose from. I recommend their gift sets in particular!

Do you want to pamper yourself and in need for some "me" time? Lather is the place for you!! All of the products are natural! They smell good and it actually works!! The lotion is so perfect for the cold weather that's making my hands very dry.

Apparently, this store has been in this particular location for about a year, having moved from a spot closer to Fair Oaks. It's a cute little storefront and pedestrians will be drawn by its smells and cute vibe. There's even a water dish for dogs outside. I appreciated the patient and knowledgeable staff and the opportunity to smell essential oils in isolation--namely, ylang ylang (even spelling it or saying it is tricky). It's an international potpourri on the shelves, from oils that hail from Morocco to India.

Walked into Lather Pasadena and it happened to be small business Saturday ! I went in looking for a specific hand cream and Allie was quick to help. She was professional and friendly. Since it was small business Saturday I was pleasantly gifted the cutest tote bag and stickers! They were also passing out little charcuterie snacks. Lather is a perfect stop for holiday gifts . Their products are reasonably priced and amazing ! They also have products for all types of skins ! Next time you are in Pasadena check them out .

Did I just find my new go-to natural skincare spot?! Because lemme tell you... LATHER is THAT girl. I made an appointment mid week (same day) and arrived a bit early. I was helped immediately and greeted/walked through the entire experience by Jacqueline who was extremely knowledgeable, hilarious and overall amazing. With J's guidance, we formulated a perfect essential oil roller moment - an all natural perfume alternative. Mine was a mix of neroli, black pepper, bergamot and rosewood; a perfectly balanced scent (I was basically born to do this). Who doesn't love smelling like they've just walked out of a spa?! Because I am an absolute skincare goblin, I HAD to grab a few goodies.. - Honey Moisture Mask: Obsessed. I have skin that's on the drier side, so I apply a thin layer to my face before bed and let it soak in all night. Girl, my skin is supple and hydrated. - Toning Eye Gel with Peptides: As someone with puffy eyes & rampant dark circles despite getting 8+ hours of sleep most nights (genetics is a helluva drug), I am always in search of an eye product that brightens & de-puffs. Voila. She's found. This product is light, and makes me look and feel more awake in the mornings. As a woman born and raised in Pasadena, my heart aches because I did not discover LATHER sooner. I can't wait to try more of their products and continue to support them while they in turn support my skincare journey. Love y'all!

What a find!! I'm VERY impressed with my experience at LATHER! I tend to be extremely skeptical of all skin care products- so much so that I haven't changed my skin care regimen since I was a teenager and I never wear makeup after numerous bad experiences with rashes and allergic reactions etc. So I was pretty nervous when my lovely Yelp buddy @SamB invited me to be a guest at her Pamper Party - but I'm SO glad I went!! Their "Pamper Party" service is for you and 5-6 friends and they do a skin care assessment and your group gets to do facials and face masks and you'll get personalized skin care recommendations from the LATHER pros - all while champagne flows and you snack on fruit and vegan cookies. We had A BLAST! Our hosts were Lauren (manager) and Jacqueline (total skin care PRO!!) and they were just awesome!! Fantastic energy - so bubbly, friendly, and fun!! They really made our evening so special....I can't say enough wonderful things about them. During the pamper party, they do a drawing for a prize. The prize for our party was their "summer soother" soap package that includes 4 bars of soap in various lavender scent combinations that smell amazing - and I won!! I never win anything so that just made my night haha! I walked away with several bottles of various skin care products - like toner, vitamin c serum, several cleaners and face masks - my first whole new skin care routine since I was a teenager! I've only been using my new routine for a few days and already see a HUGE difference in my face - it looks more radiant and all my blemishes are just gone - I'm blown away! We also got to hear all about the owner and her motivations for starting the business back in 1999 and her philosophies - all fantastic. I love that they don't use artificial perfumes and things like that. They're located in a lovely spot right in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Parking is street parking or in one of the many public garages nearby. I parked in the De Lacey street garage which is super close and a good price. I'll definitely be back - highly recommend letting them personalize a routine for you - if I love it, I'm sure you will too - give it a try!!

Lather is definitely an excellent company. I can see they care very much about their customers! When they reached out via email to promote the extension of their VIP Sale event, I noticed the email was not one of those automatic emails. I took the opportunity to respond to them I was there and was disappointed. They responded within 24 hours. The store manager, Lauren, was extremely nice in her email and asked if we can have a short chat. Through my conversation with her, I can tell she was listening to what I had to say and was appreciative of the feedbacks I provided. I can tell Lather really focus on building and retaining relationships with their loyal customers. Overall: They rectify the situation and I am a happy customer once again! I can't wait to visit Lather soon! Thank you for being awesome. I love your products very much! Big kudos to Lauren.

Love Lather products and so glad to have a local store in Pasadena. Whenever I need a gift that is unique, it's from here. The bamboo lemongrass scrub is amazing. All their products use essential oils and doesn't give me a headache like other company's products. Store associates are very friendly and helpful as well.

Thanks to Lather, Pasadena for hosting our belated Mother's Day/Bday Promo via your Pamper Party events today on Sunday, May/21/23. Lather did not disappoint!!!! So, I was able to bring most of the parties I invited to try this Vegan skincare line as a part of our Mother's Day/Belated Bday Celebrations (Part 1). They were extremely generous that they sent me the promised $50 to use towards any purchase which was Not obligatory. But as Yelpers, we should always set out to support our local biz. I liked some of the items I had previously purchased, so I stocked up on their super soft face towels. Also, they provided us the 10% discount toward our purchase. I ended up buying a couple of extra items (both inexpensive) on top of using the $50 gift card. Aside from that Mother's Day promo, they also ran a raffle which turned out to be a box of Lather's Vegan soap bars. That was such a fun event they are currently still hosting. Next time we run out of Lather brand stuff, we will return. During the Pamper Party, they provided us Chardonnay on the house on top of some other healthy refreshments: skinny popcorn, granola bars and fresh fruits. They were not pushy at selling but like I aforementioned: I had bought and used some of the products from a prior purchase that I didn't mind supporting them again. By the way: I didn't have any problems finding meter parking!!!! I lucked out again and again.

I started using Lather products a couple of months ago after attending a Yelp Elite Experience. I park at the parking structure down the block. They charge $1 for an hour. You take your ticket and pay once you return to the structure before going to your car. The inside of the store is beautiful. It has an open layout design with an island of products in the middle and a soap wall in the back. The sides have different product walls. I love that their products are free of: synthetic fragrance, sulfates, and parabens. Their products are also cruelty free. Chris helped me during my visit. He was very friendly and helpful. He educated me on some of their products that I hadn't tried before. I restocked some products, and I purchased new ones to try. I currently use their ultra mild face wash, citrus balancing toner, and ultra light face lotion. The face wash feels light and foams nicely. It doesn't leave you feeling dry. I like to use their toner at night; It makes my face feel extra clean. Their ultra light face lotion moisturizes my skin well, and a little bit goes a long way. I love their natural sea wool sponge. It helps lather my bars very nicely. Their avocado mint scalp scrub foams very nicely and help my scalp feel very clean. This is helpful, especially for the cold months, as my scalp can get a little dry. Their lavender & olive foaming body scrub leaves my skin feeling smooth. I'm going to be trying the new products I purchased this month. I like to implement the products slowly into my routine so I can be able to pinpoint how it's working for me. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
