At NordHive, we’re always inspired by our creator community — the ones who actually use the products, test them in real routines, and bring them to life through honest reviews and glowing content.

This month, we asked: What’s staying on your top shelf right now?

And the answers? Hydration heroes, barrier-boosters, and skin-soothing saviors.

From gold-infused masks to everyday essentials, here are the top three products creators can’t stop talking about, and why they’ve earned a permanent spot in their lineup.

Top Picks of the Month

Tiara Gold Gel Mask

This ultra-hydrating gel mask has become a standout in creator routines for its unique combination of luxury and performance. Its cooling texture soothes the skin on contact, while its gold-infused formula helps boost radiance and lock in moisture.

Creators love it for its instant glow-up effect, perfect before events, photo shoots, or winding down after a long day.
It’s easy to use, doesn’t slide around, and leaves the skin noticeably plump and refreshed without any sticky residue.

Whether it’s part of a weekly self-care ritual or a quick fix for dull skin, the Tiara Gold Mask delivers that lit-from-within look that keeps creators coming back to it time and again.

O’LABS Mineral Cleansing Serum

A true multitasker, this cleansing serum has earned its place on vanities for how gently—yet effectively—it removes impurities without stripping the skin. With a texture that feels like a serum but works like a cleanser, creators are drawn to its minimal-effort, maximum-impact payoff.

What sets it apart is the skin-loving formula rich in minerals that help support skin barrier health while cleansing. It’s especially loved by those with sensitive or easily reactive skin, as it leaves the face clean, calm, and comfortable—no tightness, no residue.

Perfect for double cleansing routines or a standalone cleanse, this product is a go-to for creators who want their skincare to work smarter, not harder.

IVEL Premium Bisabolol Boosting 2X Ampoule

The IVEL Bisabolol Boosting Ampoule is a soothing powerhouse that creators reach for when their skin needs to calm down—fast. With bisabolol at its core (a naturally derived ingredient known for its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties), it’s become a favorite for barrier repair and gentle glow restoration.Its lightweight texture absorbs effortlessly, making it easy to layer with other actives or moisturizers.

What creators especially appreciate is how it visibly reduces redness and evens out the complexion with continued use—making it ideal for post-exfoliation or after long sun exposure.

In short: it’s that quiet, reliable hero in a routine that brings balance back to the skin, with results that speak for themselves.

Real Reviews, Real Routines

There’s something about the ritual of using this toner that grounds me. I apply it right after my evening shower. Just a few drops pressed gently into my skin, and instantly I feel calm. I’ve tried so many balancing toners, but this one is different. It doesn't sting, it doesn't dry me out, it just quietly does its job. My skin feels smoother, less reactive, and honestly, my sleep feels better when I use it.

If you’re like me, and adore Niacinamide (cuz she is the queen) then you would love this serum.With a whopping 10% of Niacinamide this milky textured serum will bring you some joy. No tacky feeling, and a gorgeous glow too!This also has Bisabolol, which is a multitasking antioxidant, that is extracted from chamomile. It has some nice well aging benefits like reducing the look of those fine lines and wrinkles, it works as an anti-inflammatory as well.The end result with this is skin feeling firmer, pores appearing smaller, skin tone balancing and my skin just feels very soft and smooth.A very beautiful serum, I’m loving her!

@yepmanythings on TIARA GOLD

This gold mask boasts a unique texture and luxurious material that feels amazing on my skin. The benefits and ingredients, as seen in my first photo, are impressive. After 15 minutes, the essence absorbs quickly, leaving my skin with a natural glow, smoother and more radiant. The quantity of essence is perfect for my face, neck, and chest.It stays in place nicely and has a pleasant scent, likely due to the fruit extracts. Although it contains fragrance, it didn't irritate my skin. I prefer fragrance-free skincare, but I love the results from this mask, so I'll use the remaining two for special occasions.
