I've been using this on and off the last few months. I do like it and it does pump up the moisture well but I'm not a fan of the scent and have found it hard to fit it into my daily routine. It's quite a thick oil so definitely not under makeup. I love to use it on my lazy home days to give my skin a boost. So overall its pretty good but I'm not blown away.

I love this oil! After trying a straight rosehip oil (I couldn't stand the smell) but then I discovered this one and fell in love! The smell is lovely! I apply it at night and wake up in the morning with beautiful, hydrated, glowing, soft skin!
Tips: I used just a couple of drops at night all over my face and neck!
I have recently started using Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil and I am far beyond impressed. I religiously use Trilogy Rosehip Oil and I think this may even be better! It has been a few days now using it every night and my skin feels amazing. The last few days have seen a not so lovely breakout and this oil seems to have given it the nutrients to clear up my skin! I am definitely going to keep using this one. Also not to mention the delicious smell and the way your skin feels in the morning is devine!
Tips: Best used after a shower before bed!
I was looking for an alternative to my trusty Trilogy Rosehip Oil. I had been using it exclusively for a year and just felt the need to mix it up a bit. I had heard really positive things about the Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil and decided to give it a go. I was a bit hesitant to try it as it does have more ingredients and fragrance compared to my standard oil but I am so pleased that I did.
The oil has a lovely texture that sinks into my skin immediately. It smells delicious and it did not irritate my skin. I always have a mix of fresh acne and acne in various stages of healing. After the first night of using this I woke up to skin that was significantly calmer and less inflamed - that is a miraculous feeling for me!
As I am a student it is on the expensive side for me but I will continue to repurchase it and use it in combination with my Trilogy oil. As this has been successful in calming my hormonal acne I would love to add in more products from the line to see if I can find more gems.
I love that this is a New Zealand company and certified organic! I have a feeling this oil has started a love affair with Linden Leaves.
Tips: I like adding a couple of drops to my favourite serum and then applying.
After being gifted a few Linden Leaves products I had the opportunity to try this facial oil. I generally used it at night - sometimes over moisturiser but not always, as 3-4 drops was moisturising enough to use on it's own after cleansing.
Was it miraculous? Well, it managed to keep my face intensely moisturised without making break me out or look oily (I could even get away with applying it in the morning in the place of a moisturiser as long as I gave it time to sink in before applying makeup). Plus I loved the smell - I love vanilla type fragrances so that was my favourite aspect of the product. However, it didn't provide me with any results that differed markedly from what I've found with cheaper oils (i.e. pure rosehip oil), so while it's a lovely indulgent gift and lasts a reasonable amount of time, at the current price I wouldn't purchase it myself at this point - perhaps when aging concerns are becoming more of a problem I'd be more likely to revisit it.
I read so many good things and raves about this facial oil on numerous blogs. So I was thrilled and lucky to score this in the first beauty vault. The ingredients sound promising and the beautiful, white porcelain bottle coupled with the luxurious vanilla scent suggest facial decadence. I decided to wait till winter to use this because I thought it would be too oily for my normal/combination skin. I used this nightly over winter and hoped I would soon see the miraculous on my skin. Unfortunately, for me the widely publicized smooth, brightened, clearer complexion that a lot bloggers with different skin types accredited to this oil, never happened for me (main reason why I don't subscribe to blogs). The things I like about this oil is the natural ingredients, beautiful white bottle and gorgeous scent. It did moisturize my skin but it's probably the thickest, facial oil I've ever used and even when my skin was drier during the winter it didn't really absorb instead it sat on top and soon proved too greasy for daytime use and so I used it at night and cut down to using it as a treatment oil after exfoliation or using a peel or mud masque. If an exfoliating treatment it would absorb better but I still had a slightly greasy face. I finally ended up buying some jojoba oil and adding a couple drops of this at night to enrich it and it worked best for me that way. Personally unless you have really, dry mature or extremely sensitive, red, dry skin this probably isn't worth the price. I was lucky to score in the vault but if I had actually paid for it I would have been really, disappointed. I might consider this in the future, like many, many years from now when I'm much, much older and need a good, thick oil for my face. However if you want a thick, luxury treatment oil to enrich a plain facial oil, like rosehip, jojoba or argan or you just want something to add to masques or facial moisturizers this will last you a long time.
Tips: This is a really thick oil so try to test is before you purchase it. If you are gifted a bottle or have purchased this find this is too thick you can just apply this as a treatment after doing a exfoliating masque or peel or add to your facial moisturizer or masque. Or if you want to use it daily get a plain facial oil, like rosehip, jojoba or argan and add mix a couple drops with the plain oil in your palm prior to application.
The Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil is one of the first product I have ever tried from the brand.. It don't know why I had never considered using an oil on my skin before especially with having such dry skin to begin with. So nevertheless I was very excited to try this product out.
After using it I instantly noticed that my skin drank it all up and it left only a very slight defines to the skin which disappeared over time. After a month I noticed that my skin looked much firmer and hydrated and less tired looking. I didn't notice any visible reduction in my pigmentation though but overall the result was quite good and I will certainly be purchasing again. My bottle is almost finished.
You also only need a few drops to cover your whole face. The scent is very organic like but not a horrible one.. Really nice. I use this before bed and after cleansing to get the most out of the product.
Tips: Great product to use as a night time moisturiser... Let it work whilst you sleep and you will notice a visible difference in no time.
I love the packaging- for the price you are paying I expect decent packaging and this delivers. This product is a yellow oil that is dispensed by a dropper. It is a great consistency- not to thick or thin and spreads easily over the skin and light and readily absorbed. The scent is not overpowing, very nice and relaxing smelling, after half an hour it's very subtle. It soaks into skin nicely and does not leave it oily looking. My skin is showing signs of aging- pigmentation, fine lines, not so fine lines, enlarged pores and dehydration. I use it at night - just a couple of drops before a serum and/or moisturizer. Is it the same as a facial- I don't know, maybe? If you are pressed for time this definitely gives your skin a beautiful glow and makes it feel soft. I think the key points to a facial are the relaxing and taking the time to apply the products correctly. So kick back at home and massage this in at night and reep the rewards. Would I buy this again? Yes I would- even more so that I know it's from New Zealand- a wonderful product made on our doorstep.
Tips: Use under a hydrating mask to give it extra oomph.
I reach for this every night and it is something I can not do without. I can really notice if I go away for the week and forget it now. It is fully natural so I don't feel like I'm sleeping with chemicals on my face and there is no overwhelming smell. Absolutely love and would highly recommend for anyone to try.
My sister lent me her bottle thinking it might help my acne scars, I was skeptical as I have tried many products that had done nothing but irritate my skin and make it dry. After using it for 2 weeks I noticed a huge difference in my skin. It is soft, very healthy looking and far more evenly toned. I will definitely be buying my own.
