This oil contains Schisandra Chinensis Berry and Rosehip Oil and claims to give the skin more elastic appearance in only 8 weeks. The oil is a bit runny, light yellow color and pretty much has the same scent as the serum. I use just few drops mixed with my creams. It is a nice, well absorbing and non greasy oil but honestly I haven't noticed any wow effects. It is good for my dry skin, feels nourishing and hydrating but not sure about making skin elastic. The effect will be more noticeable with mature skin I suppose since my skin is naturally firm yet.

Reviews
I love facial oils, and have used essano's Rosehip oil prior, so I had high expectations for this one. I only had a sample size of this, so couldn't stretch it to the 8 weeks results window, that I imagine the full size can probably deliver.
The oil is nice, reasonable light. Two drops is all thats needed. Anything more than that and it takes a while to soak in. It definitely helped with hydration, but I didn't see any change in the firmness of my skin. Maybe with longer use I might. I have other products I prefer. Maybe on special at the supermarket I might repurchase.
I received this in a sample size in the Mother's Day BBBE. I used this at night and my skin nicely soaked this up and woke up to soft moisturized skin. I didn't find it too greasy like some other oils that I've tried. The scent is mild and not off-putting. If my skin felt like it needed a little more I would either apply the night cream or night mask in the same range. My skin still feels relatively firm so I can't vouch for the elasticity claim. I will likely buy this in the future.
Tips: Apply on your face, neck and decolletage at night.
I picked this up in a set of minis with other products from the essano Collagen Boost range. The oil comes in a brown glass bottle with gold writing, and a black dropper. The oil itself is yellow in colour with quite a strong rosehip scent (so if you don't like strong scents, this isn't for you!). A drop or so of the oil goes a long way, and is more than enough to cover the entire face and neck so this is good value for money. The instructions say to use this on its own or added when applying the Collagon Boost Day or Night Creme. As I had the Collagen Boost set I was able to try it out in all 3 ways as instructed. This works well enough on its own, and provides pretty good hydration, as someone who has dry and peeling skin! It is nice added to the day and night creme as well just to add that extra boost of hydration (but to me seems a bit unnecessary as those products already work fine on their own...). I felt this hydrating my skin really well and I mostly used this instead of a night cream as it's a bit too oily for applying in the morning even as someone with dry skin. My skin also looked a bit brighter since using this. However, I don't think this is anything special and it seems to offer what almost all facial oils offer - good hydration and minor skin improvements.
Overall, there's nothing special about this and it doesn't smell that pleasant, so it's not my favourite facial oil so I wouldn't jump out to use this again, but this does the job and doesn't do anything bad for the skin either.
Tips: If you want to try this, get the Collagon Boost minis set so you can try a small version before committing to the full size product.
I love this product so so much, that I have brought so many since my last promo box. Makes me feels so fresh and alive x
This is Essano doing what Essano does best - facial oil!
This one comes in the standard pink packaging, in a glass dropper bottle. The oil is thicker than other facial oils I've tried, and absorbs softly and beautifully into my skin, leaving it feeling plump, soft and hydrated. It is lovely. I am a huge fan of facial oils for my mature skin and I particularly like this one. My skin feels healthy and glowy.
I highly recommend it. It seems to be around $26 for 20ml, and you only need a small amount so that seems ok price-wise.
I have used a lot of face oils and this one wasn't anything special. I would not recommend to anyone who wants extra moisture in their skin as it doesn't hydrate your skin to the level I would like. However if you want a face oil to guasha or for face massages this face oil is great.
I’m not sure about the collagen boost, but this is a really soft, hydrating oil, it absorbs well and sits nicely under a night cream. My skin felt very soft in the mornings. I have oily skin, and this doesn’t affect that at all.
Tips: Ensure it goes on under your night cream.
