Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil

First of all, I am obsessed with the packaging of these Linden Leaves products - they are so sleek and minimal. I had never used facial oil prior to this trial, but now I am 100% converted. At first I was slightly put off by the very yellow colour of the product, but gave it a go none the less. I loved the dropper application, and at first was surprised by the smell but grew to enjoy the scent as I continued to use it. After the first few days, I noticed that my skin had became so soft and smooth and was very impressed. I am still continuing to use this product as part of my everyday skincare routine. Would highly recommend!

I was very excited to use this product, and it lived up to my expectations! I had never used a facial oil prior to this review so wasn't sure how my oily prone skin would react to me applying more oil to it, but it was fine! In fact I didn't even break out and my skin soaked it up completely by morning. One of it's great natural ingredients is primrose oil which claims to have healing properties, so I was excited for it to heal my old blemishes that were still lingering as red spots; and I do think that the oil made them less noticeable. The product claims to brighten skin but personally I did not notice this. I felt very lush using this product (partly because of it's price tag) and also because it contains all of these great natural ingredients and is made by such a well known, quality brand. I really love using natural skincare; especially one that is produced eco friendly and in New Zealand. I would most definitely use this product again!

I'm always slightly wary of facial oils as they tend to make my skin break out into a complete mess but I really love Linden Leaves products so I was interested to see how this one would test. I was pleasantly surprised. This oil is nothing short of incredible. It is quite light and doesn't seem to leave a greasy residue on your skin and the oil has the most amazing fragrance that makes you feel quite relaxed as though you've just had an amazing facial at a salon. After a few days of regular use I noticed that my skin looked a lot brighter and healthier which is great at the moment as I am not the healthiest so anything is a bonus! I've also noticed that scars on my face are far less noticeable. My skin also feels a lot softer. I would absolutely recommend this oil and it is definitely worth the slightly higher price. It's a natural product with the benefit that it's a natural product from a New Zealand company that trades to the highest of ethical business practices.

I have tried a lot of facial oils in my time. I have skin that is on the dry side, and I also love the promise of really concentrated skin benefits. I found this facial oil really different to others I have tried. It doesn't feel or look oily when you apply it. I have even found myself adding a night cream overtop, because it doesn't feel too heavy. When I wake up after using this oil, my skin feels hydrated and looks healthy. At the moment I use it every second night, and I can see the difference on the mornings I don't use it. My skin just looks more dull. The smell is beautiful, although quite strong (my three year old told me I smell funny!). It's pricey, a lot pricier than other facial oils, but it does work really well. I think I will treat myself to this every now and then and use another facial oil at other times.

Such a lovely product. It’s pure pleasure to apply, absorbs fast and non greasy. My skin feels so nice after using it. Great to use both in the morning and at night.

This is one of my favourite face oil of all time, I have a huge collection and this one wins due to the amazing scent it has.

Most oils help my skin the same way, especially ones that are a mixture of different oils rather than just one oil by itself (like plain rosehip oil), this one is no different. It evens out my skin, redness calms down, skin texture feels smoother by the next morning.

I have a weird skin type as I still have some pimples and huge pores, yet I get dry patches around my lips, oils tend to help in all of these areas, so I really like using them at night after my usual mousturizer, but sadly get lazy sometimes and skip them.

I need a lot less of this oil than a lot of my other ones, I’m not sure why, I mean oil is oil, it can’t really get that much more concentrated, I think it’s just formulated a really good way. My skin doesn’t soak this all up immediately and I definitely lose some onto my pillowcase, but it’s just how it is with oils, this isn’t a big problem for me.

I definitely wake up with glowing skin the next morning every time I use it, I can notice the difference as it’s that obvious, so it’s a winner for me. :)

Honestly, new white whale holy grail? Maybe. I got a sample of this from... I don't even know where. Maybe the Beauty Review box? I know it was a sub box. But man. For such a small bottle it packs a hell of a punch.

I love the little suction dropper, it's so cute, and I love that oils are coming in bottles like this. They make me feel very mad scientist, which helps because I'm usually grinning like mad at myself in the mirror. The smell, from what I recall, was pleasant, and not at all overpowering or too floral, or anything. It was just... There, and pleasant.

The oil is a gorgeous light golden color and it absorbs so well! Like... Unbelievably fast. My skin feels so soft just seconds after applying. I can't recall any of the oils inside but I know that I loved all of them. I also thought I didn't use as much as I would with say rosehip. So that's also really nice, it means it'll last longer.

I was so pleased to note that this seemed to calm my skin right down, and it slightly reduced redness which was nice. I really liked this oil, I hope I can get more soon!

I love this oil. I bought this in the beauty vault, and it's very likely I'll repurchase. I'm in my 40's so particularly in winter my skin is dry and loves extra hydration.

This oil has an interesting scent - almost like coffee? It's very pleasant. I only need 2 drops of this oil, after serum, and my skin feels lovely afterwards. I do need to take care with the dropper as it tends to 'drip' before you're ready so I just hold the dropper over my hand, dispense 2 drops and then massage into my face - that was there's no waste. I leave it to absorb for a good few minutes and then put on my moisturiser or night cream. Afterwards my skin feels hydrated and has a nice glow to it. It is a rich oil - I had one breakout the first time I used it, but I think I used too much of it, and used it straight after exfoliating - so my skin was probably too exposed for such a dramatic change. Ongoing my skin feels so soft, and especially hydrated which I love.

I feel this oil is particularly good for winter skin if you find your skin is quite dry or needs some extra TLC. It's especially great at night, but recommend letting it soak in well before bedtime.

I'm very impressed with this oil. It didn't disappoint.

I had never used Linden Leaves products before so when I saw this in the vault I decided to give it a go.

It comes in an attractive bottle with a dropper. The oil is a beautiful golden colour,  it smells earthy but also slightly floral, I quite like it. I have sensitive skin so I did a patch test first. I got no stinging or irritation at all.

I use about 4 drops of oil and rub my hands together then massage all over my face.  This oil comes out thick but is so light on my skin, it absorbs so fast and leaves no greasy feeling at all, it is quite unusual as I have never applied an oil which literally leaves no residue at all. I like to use this at night especially when my skin looks dull and dry but I also tried it under makeup and my foundation applied great and didn't slide around.  But I still just prefer using at night.

It makes my skin feel super soft and smooth. It does not make me breakout at all and my skin appears bright and clear. It is a beautiful oil and feels luxurious to use. As you only need a small amount the bottle has lasted for ages so although it is on the pricier side I feel it is worth it.

I would certainly purchase this again and would love to try other Linden Leaves products as I am really impressed with this oil.
