I'm a big serum user so I was looking forward to trying this. My skin is normal to oily in summer, and while breakouts are thankfully rare, I do have an issue with oiliness. I've not seen many other serums that are marketed for oily skin or for sebum balancing, so it's nice to see this part of the skincare market better catered for.
I tried a sample of this, and the first thing I noticed was how runny it was - it was almost the texture of water, rather than the more oily serums I am used to. It felt great smoothed all over my face after cleansing. It felt very moisturising, and it absorbed extremely quickly leaving my skin feeling quite taut and looking matte.
It smells nice and fresh and I would definitely use it again, though if I was to use it in winter I would follow with a rich and more nourishing moisturiser. I love that it's a New Zealand company and is organic - I will be trying more products from them.
I would think this product is best suited to those with oily to combination oily skin. Dry skins will probably need something richer.
My skin has been a bit weird lately, so I was digging around in my draw and found the 10 day sample pack of the balancing serum I had been sent. 4 days later? Skin has cleared up, feels smoother, and just quietly I think I look a couple of years younger. The product can be used sparingly, a little goes a long way. It has a pleasant herby smell. I'm going online to buy this now. Love it.
