Botanical Name: Cotyledon orbiculata
Family: Crassulaceae
Origin: Southern Africa (South Africa & Namibia)
Plant Type: Evergreen succulent shrub
Overview
Cotyledon orbiculata (Pig’s Ear) is a water-wise, architectural succulent for South Australian gardens. It forms tidy clumps of powdery blue-green, paddle-shaped leaves with red edges in sun, and throws pendulous orange–coral bell flowers in winter that feed pollinators. Perfect for gravel gardens, coastal sites and bold containers.

-
Flowers: Winter stems topped with orange–coral, bell-shaped blooms; long-lasting and nectar-rich
- Seasonal Interest: Year-round structure; best flowering in winter when gardens are quieter

Where It Works Best

- Soil: Very well-drained sandy or gravelly loam; raised beds/mounds for heavier soils; avoid waterlogging
- Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 14–21 days in summer; rarely in winter (let soil dry between waterings)
- Maintenance: Mulch with gravel; remove spent flower stems; prune lightly to shape after flowering; fertilise sparingly in early spring
- Lifespan: 10–20+ years in suitable, free-draining sites
- Climate Zones: Suited to temperate and Mediterranean SA gardens, including coastal areas
- Soil pH: Neutral, but adaptable to mild Acidic/Alkaline

The Holy Grail Product with Horrible Packaging
Style: Cream, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great nighttime routine product. The product itself? Fantastic, no complaints. There’s no dryness, skin feels silky, and it’s moisturizing but with no oiliness or residue. It has never irritated my skin, and I’ve never had to use a moisturizer on top of it. It’s also incredibly lightweight and it absorbs quickly.
My one complaint? The container. In theory, I love the concept of a little button-pump bottle, but after a week or so, the product doesn’t reach the pump. If you buy this, just be aware to NOT THROW IT OUT just because it’s not coming out when you pump the container. You’re going to have to unscrew the lid (particularly with the bigger size) and then bam - you’ve got like two more months worth of product. I mean truly, like only a THIRD of the product can be dispensed the intended way, and the rest you’ve gotta unscrew and dip your fingers in. Which totally defeats the purpose.
Great product, DUMB packaging.

See the pics!
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is incredible! I wish I had taken pics of my whole face but didnt think to. I noticed recently my cheeks looking smoother and significant improvement on the size of my pores so i went back to the pic I saved and it confirmed it's the result of using this cream. I have been using this for 3 months now. I don't think I've used half of it yet either. I apply it 6x a week at night. I do apply moisturizer after it dries as it doesnt provide enough moisture on my Tzone (which i do with any product). I absolutely love the dispenser on it and it is fragrance free. It's cruelty free as well. I highly recommend!!!! Would make a great gift too.
For reference, I'm in my mid 30s, have sensitive oily skin with some dryness on my Tzone. I do not use any other anti-aging products. See the before and after pics!
I will update.

Works well, very pleased
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I had forgotten how well the three additives work together to make the complexion firmer, brighter and clearer. By making it a generic product., the quality is still all there, except the price is so much lower than the name brands with the same formula.

Poor/deceptive packaging
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I initially thought I was getting my money’s worth when I purchased this face cream, it seemed like a pretty generous amount for the price. That is, until product stopped coming out from the pump. I thought, okay whatever, I’ll just unscrew the top and get it with my fingers. That’s when I realized that not only is the pump setup stupidly ineffective, as it doesn’t actually reach the majority of the product (it only gets the product directly in the middle, all of the cream on the outside perimeter you’ll either have to get with your hands or move into the center). But the container only has like 1/3 of its volume’s worth of product. The other 2/3 of the container is just empty space.
I can’t speak on the effectiveness of the cream itself, I honestly didn’t see any changes in my skin after 3-4 months of use. It was moisturizing enough. If anything, there were times I felt more prone to breakouts. But I would not recommend this product just simply on how deceptive the container is, making you feel like you’re getting a lot more product than you really are.

Great for men and anti-aging
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product. I use it every night as part of my face cleaning routine. After a face scrub and pat dry i use this moisturizer to lock in moisture. It has seriously been effective and it is very compatible with my skin. It feels pure and clean and has no scent. Great for men.
