so good!

This serum is insanely expensive, but also insanely good. It’s like a bottle of love for your skin. Hyperpigmentation? It fades dark spots. Acne? I haven’t had a zit since I started using it 6 months ago. Sensitive skin? I can now start using chemical exfoliates, which I’ve never been able to do. This stuff is amazing! It’s expensive, but I no longer need serums and oils and moisturizers - just this stuff.

It doesn't absorb well.

I bought this without even thinking because of all the hype around it. Here's a review to help. First of all it doesn't absorb well, I try during the day, it just sits on top of my skin. I try at night with a roller to help absorb, not much luck. I tried one of my other serums today to check and that wasn't the case. That alone is a deal breaker. It all ends up on my pillow. It's not a miracle worker either, it seems high quality and potent but there are others out there that does more. You won't get glowing skin overnight.

Beware sensitive skin

Be very very careful if you have sensitive skin. I believe all the glowing reviews, but I have very dry and sensitive skin, which doesn’t renew as fast as it should. My skin reddened and was sensitive to touch. I also got scaly skin and my hyperpigmentation got worse. I used it once each night with copious amounts of sunscreen the next day. If you have similar concerns, I would highly recommend buying a sample first.

Amazing!!

I just started using this product about a week ago and it completely lives up to its other online reviews. The product is phenomenal. I wash my face with Ursa major which is a good natural line. Tone with affordable witch hazel. And use the run and pat method to apply this oil. I am 46 years old and my skin is glowing. I feel like it is more even-toned and amazing. I've been very lucky to have good, healthy skin and often get mistaken for being in my early or mid 30s. I think this new oil only makes it look better. I'm thrilled! I know it's expensive., So I only use it at night. But there is no doubt that I am getting rid of all my other products and sticking with this one.

obsessed

Didn't love at first...now I'm obsessed! You really have to follow the push/press method they suggest and use your palms, not your finger tips. I thought it was making me break out but turns out it was another product I was using. This is worth every penny and my skin has never looked better. I never want to run out so I now have a backup!!

okay, but not worth it

I've been using this (in rotation with other products) for a year and a half. Summary: It's fine - good, even, but not outstanding enough for a repurchase of such an expensive item. The serum has a nice, herbal scent and a medium consistency. I apply it straight to cleansed skin after using a little toner, and I use the press technique that the company recommends in the instructions. No breakouts, no irritation. My skin looks fine. And that's it. I haven't seen any radiance or other "improvement" after 18 months of use. In fact, I have a couple of different, no chemical face oils that are less expensive and work better in a much faster time.
