This Works Sleep Review
About This Works
This Works is a natural skincare and wellness brand offering soothing solutions to common issues like sleep quality, stress, and troubled skin. Categorized into AM and PM-specific collections, the brand develops clean products to be used at specific times of the day.
With a name like This Works, the company was already a sure bet to attract attention, but it was its effective products that really sealed the deal for publications like Bazaar and Tatler. Both outlets praised the brand’s pillow sprays with Beauty Awards.
Today, the company boasts more than 150k followers across Instagram and Facebook. But, are its products worth the hype? Keep reading our This Works sleep review to find out.
In it, we’ll divulge key information about the brand and its bestsellers, cover its innovative approach to wellness and skincare, fill you in on what customers have to say about them, along with a ton of other crucial information to help you decide if the line is right for you.
Overview of This Works
With a clever name, This Works stops shoppers in their tracks. It’s certainly a confident choice, one that reflects the science, care, and research that goes into each and every one of the brand’s products.
This Works was founded back in 2003 by a woman who is no stranger to results-driven skincare, Beauty Editor and Vogue journalist, Kathy Phillips. Approaching skin health in a holistic and conclusive way, she set out to create a collection that dealt with underlying causes of skin issues—like lack of sleep and high stress levels.
Phillips chose to include a heap of potent, natural ingredients, with a few lab-based wonders sprinkled in for efficacy. And after This Works landed on its winning formulas, it tested each one independently and in clinical trials, of which you can see their results on individual product pages.
This Works was originally founded in London, UK, but has since been acquired by cannabis culture brand Canopy Growth, based in Canada. You might have heard of some of this parent company’s other lines—one of them is Martha Stewart!
We’re about to get into the brand’s rejuvenating product line, but before we do, our This Works sleep review will shine some light on its pros and cons.

This Works Body Review
Like our faces, the skin on our bodies gets dehydrated, uneven, and wrinkly. But normally, we tend to just cover those bits up. This Works has developed body products that work in the long and short term that nourish skin, restore confidence, and may just have you exposing a little bit more of your lovely gams.
This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle Review
We put a lot of pressure on our legs, relying on them to carry us through our day. Just like how stress can affect the skin on our faces, that stress on our legs comes with its own set of troubles. Veins, uneven skin tone, and cellulite are all common leg concerns, and while most of the time they’re just cosmetic imperfections, they mess with our confidence.
This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle is a tinted serum that evens skin tone with a slightly tanned look that helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. And while the serum helps your legs look good immediately, it uses vitamins C and E to benefit your skin in the long run too.
Ideal for year-round use, build confidence with 120mL of this award-winning serum for $68.
This Works Sleep Balm Review
Sometimes, it’s nice to slow down and carve a little you-time out of your hectic schedule. And relaxing products like This Works Sleep Balm are just perfect for these very moments.
From the buttery texture of the coconut and monoi oil to the aromatherapy from the lavender, chamomile, and vetiver essential oils, Sleep Balm helps you sink a little deeper into relaxation. It’s designed for use on your pulse points, smoothing and renewing skin while promoting a natural sense of calm.
Get an 8.6g jar for $17.
This Works In the Zone Body Lotion Review
We tend to load up on skincare products for our faces, but forget that we have way more skin on the rest of our bodies that needs attention too. This Works In the Zone Body Lotion gives our bodies the TLC they deserve and the moisture they so desperately crave.
It’s made from a mix of coconut and eucalyptus oil, perfect for moisturizing and calming, as well as the earthy balancing scents of patchouli and frankincense.
98% natural and 100% vegan, a 300mL bottle of this skin-soothing lotion is $32.
This Works Skincare Review
You’ve got your sleep and body taken care of, now let’s take a look at what kind of skincare products This Works offers. Below, you’ll find only the brand’s top three sellers: a plumping serum, a multifunctional primer, and perhaps the most sought-after product of the moment, hand sanitizer.
This Works Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum Review
Developed specifically to bring life into dull, dehydrated skin in the AM, the Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum uses a healthy dose of vitamin C to help give you a natural glow.
In addition to radiant, protected skin, this powerhouse serum uses hydration pro hyaluronic acid to help lock in moisture all day long, as well as Persian silk tree extract to soften and smooth. Vitamin C also serves to fight off free radicals throughout your day, so you can go ahead and put your best face forward no matter where you go.
With a refreshing scent of peppermint and rosemary, you can get a 30mL bottle of This Works Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum for $39 (normally $52).
This Works In Transit Camera Close-Up Review
Ever look at yourself in a makeup mirror and jump back in surprise? What’s shown in that mirror isn’t always obvious to the naked eye, but yet those large pores, dehydrated skin, and dark circles are still there.
In Transit Camera Close-Up is like a little miracle 3-in-1 cream, serving to moisturize, mask, and prime your skin in one easy step. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, argan oil, and a natural rose fragrance—all of which work together to bring you supple, smooth, and radiant skin.
A 40mL bottle of This Works In Transit Camera Close-Up is normally $45 but is on sale right now for $34.
This Works Stress Check Clean Hands Review
Hand sanitizer has become the new chapstick—everyone and their mother has one stashed away in their purses, pockets, or hanging from a keychain. But if 2020 taught us one thing, it’s that no two hand sanitizers are built the same.
Operating with the quiet power that This Works is known for, the Stress Check Clean Hands blends 70% alcohol with hyaluronic acid to help hands retain moisture, and not become overly dry as other sanitizers can do. Along with moisture, you’ll get the soothing scent of lavender, chamomile, and neroli—a stress-busting combo that reduces anxiety on a dime.
Killing 99.9% of bacteria, a 250mL bottle of This Works hand sanitizer is $15.

Is This Works A Clean Brand?
This Works products are made from a blend of natural, organic ingredients. You won’t find a single synthetic fragrance or color within its collection, which is proudly non-GMO, and free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and mineral oil.
Below each product sits a proud percentage displaying its natural stats. But even the ones that may be formulated with a higher concentration of lab-derived ingredients never use harsh chemicals.
Who Is This Works For?
The company deals with clean, natural ingredients, so it may be a good choice for those who care what they put on their bodies. Designed for adults (both men and women) who deal with high amounts of stress or who can’t settle down at night, This Works approaches healthy skin from its core.
Comparison: This Works vs. NEOM
Stress affects all of us, whether it’s first-world problems or legitimate concerns, it’s important that we find ways to help ourselves decompress.
There are a number of brands on the market that target stress and sleep from different angles—supplements, blankets, sound machines—but for the sake of similarity, our This Works sleep review will be checking out NEOM, a skincare and wellness brand based in London.
Our featured brand is located in London as well, but that’s not where the two brands’ similarity stops. Offering bath, body, home, and skincare products infused with Tranquility Fragrance, NEOM’s collection closely resembles its competitors, and you’ll find This Works candles among our featured brand’s collection just as you will in NEOM’s.
NEOM lets you shop by wellbeing line for products that assist with stress, sleep, energy, and mood. This Works is similar, except it uses one blend of essential oils in most of its products that tackle both stress and sleep, which result in a better mood and more energy.
In terms of the price, NEOM’s 30mL Perfect Night’s Sleep Pillow Mist costs $28, while This Works Pillow Spray is sold in 75mL bottles for $30.
Is there much difference in the formulas? Not really. We’ll give it to NEOM for their upscale packaging, but we’d take an extra 45mL of spray over a fancy bottle any day.
This Works Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
This Works is an award-winning brand, but it’s one thing to be impressed by a badge, and another thing entirely to find out exactly why it’s so adored. In this section, we’ll show you our findings after a lengthy web search for only the most helpful reviews out there.
Starting with a roundup of ratings from the brand’s website, we’ll then move on to more detailed reviews about the quality and efficacy of some of its bestsellers from a few other trusted sources.
Here are those ratings we talked about:
- This Works Stress Check Clean Hands: an average of 4.7/5 stars from 699 reviews
- In Transit Camera Close-Up: an average of 4.6/5 stars from 418 reviews
- Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum: an average of 4.5/5 stars from 99 reviews
- This Works Diffuser: an average of 2/5 stars from 14 reviews
- Perfect Legs Skin Miracle: an average of 4.6/5 stars from 442 reviews
We chose to take a closer look at the Perfect Legs Skin Miracle because it has some pretty bold claims. We wanted to find out if it actually does improve the appearance of leg imperfections, as well as how it helps skin over time.
Most shoppers agree that this tinted serum is streak-free and provides a subtle sun-kissed glow. One review read, “This product is a great instant fix for adding a warm glow to limbs…arms and legs.” As for the long-term effects, we found that many say it has made their legs very smooth and hydrated.
Since this is a This Works sleep review after all, next, we headed over to Influenster to see what their gang had to say about the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. 640 Influensters gave the spray a 4.2/5 star score. You’ll find the rating snapshot below to give you an idea of how that score was calculated:
- 5 stars: 57%
- 4 stars: 25%
- 3 stars: 9%
- 2 stars: 5%
- 1 star: 4%
Preferences vary in terms of scent, but overall, shoppers like the light and soothing smell of this mist and say that it does indeed calm them down before bed. Take this glowing This Works sleep review:
“Amazing product if you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Noticed the effect of the product as soon as I started using it.” The brand says the spray is very effective the first time you use it, so it’s nice to see that that claim is actually true.
Intrigued to find out more about the brand’s bedtime line, we hit up a This Works sleep review on the Natalie Loves Beauty blog, to see what the writer had to say about the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray.
Natalie brought up a really important point about the This Works lavender sleep spray, saying “it does not stain my pillowcase with oil drops like the other one does.” That’s a crucial feature and one that would certainly be a pull towards choosing the delicately scented spray over heavy essential oil drops.
There truly weren’t many negative reviews for any of the brand’s products we came across. The ones we did see were trivial and based on preference, and wouldn’t serve a purpose in our This Works sleep review.
Is This Works Worth It?
Efficacy is the most important aspect of what makes a product worth the money, but clean ingredients, a cool aesthetic, and affordable prices certainly help too. After coming up short on red flags and common, concerning issues, we found no reason not to recommend the brand and believe it’s most definitely worth the buy.
It is worth noting that within the brand’s FAQ, we saw it gives a Prop 65 Warning for some of its products.
A Prop 65 Warning means that a product contains chemicals that may lead to cancer, birth defects, and reproductive issues, as specified by the state of California.
We weren’t able to uncover what those products are, but it’s important to keep in mind that some ingredients found in This Works’ collection, even natural ones, are on the list of ingredients California warns shoppers to steer clear of.
This Works Promotions & Discounts
This Works has something called a Price Match Guarantee. The brand prides itself on having low and competitive costs but promises that if you find one of its items at another stockist for less, it’ll match that low price.
That alone makes the brand incredibly noble, but throughout our This Works sleep review, a few other offers caught our eye. Take a look at what we found:
- Labor Day Sale: Get 25% off its skin and body care products
- Free US Ground Shipping
