I received a deluxe sample of this with a GWP. This has a very delicate scent, almost orange scented. Its texture is super light, a pea sized amount glides really easily across my face and neck. The deluxe sized sample is very generous with the small amount of product you need to use; mine has lasted me about 3 weeks of continuous use and has about one or two uses left (which breaks my heart!)
I have a lot of acne scaring on my chin, and would generally use rosehip oil to aid in healing. While this works fantastically, I can only really use it when my skin is not breaking out as otherwise it tends to break me out further. With Rosehip oil I can see a dramatic improvement overnight, but this is not quite as quick to show results (I noticed results within about a week). I did find that this has really helped improve the appearance of the scarring as well as the general texture of my skin. Furthermore it does so without breaking me out, and it is light enough that I can use it even with active breakouts.
If you are like me and are acne prone but have the same issues with rosehip oil breaking you out, I would highly recommend this product. The price though...wowsers, I don't ever see myself being able to purchase a full size bottle. I can appreciate that the full size bottle would last forever but $165 is simply not in my beauty budget for a single purchase. For this reason I don't think I would recommend this to many people. I have my fingers crossed that I can get another with a GWP one day!
I've used this on and off over the years but have never been able to afford to use it constantly which is such a shame as it makes such a difference to my skin.
I only need to use a few small drops of the night repair after cleansing and before moisturising and that's enough, so whlel its really expensive, it lasts an age.
After application I find the redness in my skin tones down a bit (it doesn't disappear but then again I know no product can do that for me) but my skin feels somehow more refined, smoother and takes on a quite ethereal quality. I just look younger. Unfortunately it's not permanent but I'll take what I can get.
I love the light texture of the night repair as it soaks into my skin quite quickly and is easy to apply, no need for rubbing away at your skin here. Not particularly a fan of the packaging but the liquid gold inside more than makes up for it.
