Ever since the whole facial oil treatment hype emerged within the beauty world, i was quite interested in them and was determined to start trying them out soon. I originally was planning to purchase one of the Clarins facial oils because they seem to be from a reputable brand and probably would be quite effective but i find that the price tag is a bit too much for my liking therefore i've been putting it off.
A few weeks back, I read a review on 'Peony and peach' blog (Check her out here) about this particular facial oil and she raved about how fantastic it was giving her a nice result that she couldn't wait to share her thoughts on it. She definitely sold it to me and when i was in boots to buy some essentials, this was on offer so i grabbed a couple of these. The packaging is lovely and simple. I like how the glass bottle is matte and frosted which makes it sturdy to hold even if it gets oily on the sides. The pipette works wonderfully and makes using it so easy and fuss free where I can get exactly the right amount i wanted to apply.
I usually use 3-4 drops of this on my skin post toner. I like to really massage this into my skin and this product not only melts into the skin nicely, but it smells so nice too. I leave it to absorb on my skin for around 5 minutes before applying my usual moisturiser. As of mornings, i tend to skip this oil step and replace by a moisturising serum instead because i find that this product is too rich for my combination oily skin during the day. The product is 100% organic and on the packaging, it also states that it locks in moisture for up to 8 hours which is amazing.
Verdict: I have used this religiously every night for around 2 weeks now and i can say that my skin is smoother and softer than before. I have also had less pimples or breakouts compared with before therefore i think that it is down to this product which has helped with my skin. Originally, this 25ml bottle is worth £9.99 but with half price you really cannot go wrong with this and i am amazed by this product overall. I urge all you girlies out there to give this a go :)
Have you tried any facial oils before?

Never tried this before the idea of putting oil on my face is a bit scary

I was quite scared initially too, but applying a few drops of it is ok and i find that it is manageable and doesn't leave my face looking too oily and horrible.

Yep, i am falling in love with the facial oils hype and i cannot skip this step during my night time skincare routine now.
DeleteThanks for commenting, i hope you have a lovely day! xxx
Please oh please tell me what is the scent? Rose? Lavender? Sweet or herbal? I am desperate for some facial oils, I have two and I never use them because I hate the smell! Pretty please *pleading eyes*! :)

Thanks Eleanor, if it's herbal I'll give it a miss. :(
DeleteHeyy girlies, thanks for commenting~
DeleteI think it smells a little bit like almonds in my opinion, but i understand that the scent can be a bit too strong for some people though :)
Have a great day! xxx
I'm glad you have a positive experience with this. I'm a total newbie when it comes to face oils. I've just only started using one I got from Caudalie. xx
ReplyDeleteThis actually reminds me that Caudalie does do a version of this~ i have read some reviews on it but i totally forgot about it haha. I think this Botanics one is a bit less pricey compared with the Caudalie one though, so not sure how they will compare!
DeleteHave a great day! xxx
great review :) looks like a nice product!

I've picked up the balm cleanser from this range and aside from the scent quite enjoyed it! This sounds like it would be a great step to add into my routine ^_^

Hahaha, i also think the scent smells a little bit strong sometimes, but its manageable and you get used to it :) My skin has been looking much more brighter and even since using this. Great drugstore find in my opinion!
DeleteI hope you are having a great day! xxx
Good to know. Botanics is a fantastic product - and affordable too. I use their night cream. It works well.

I'm running out of my clinique night cream so i am on the hunt for another night cream. I adore the botanics range recently so i will definitely have to go try out their creams too!
DeleteI hope you have a lovely day! <3
Facial oil? I've used tea tree oil and olive oil on my face, but I never knew oils made specifically for you face even existed! I need to catch up on all these trends. @A@
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review! I'll have to look more into this!

Hehe, it is kind of like the well known bio oil but this one is a bit more for moisturising and rebalancing the skins natural oils. I find it really soothing to apply this at night time and i love it so far.
DeleteHave a great day <3
I have the clarins lotus oil which I love but if I run out I'll have to see if I can get my hands on this!
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog :)

Ohh, thats cool~ i'm the opposite really, i wanna try out the Clarins version after to see if it works better or not :) but so far i am really happy with this one!
DeleteHave a lovely day! ^^
I absolutely adore facial oils but at the moment it is the hottest summer ever so I can't seem to use them daily like I used to :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review and I can't wait to get my hands on these! :)

I find that it is hydrating and easy to use~ not sure about using it during the summer :) but definitley get your hands on this if you can~
DeleteHave a lovely day <3
This does sound like a great oil, but because I have oily skin I tend to avoid from applying more oil to it!
ReplyDeletehttp://abigailalicex.blogspot.com
Aww, i have oily skin too but i find that applying it at night time is alright :) X
DeleteWow this sounds so nice, I love using oils on my face, atm I'm using olive oil, a bit weird but it's cheap and my skin looks amazing the next day! Would love to try something which smells nice and luxurious though.
