Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil

I used it every day for two weeks and thought it would make the dry skin around my forehead better but this wasn't the case. Also didn't really like the smell of the product.

This product was part of a skincare range and I found it to be the less liked of the three. The packaging was easy to use and the product would last as you don't need too much for each application. However, I found when I used it my skin didn't feel the positive benefits as promised. I felt my skin was left too oily and felt clogged. I could use this product sparingly however wouldn't make it a regular in my routine.

I love the thought of buying natural products especially if they are products of NZ. I had heard good things about this oil and have had luck using rosehip oils in the past but this wasn’t quite right for my skin.

It’s quite a rich oil and a little does go a long way. A few drops was enough for me.

The solution is quite a dark colour - bright orange. I think they suggest mixing it in with a moisturiser if your going to use it. I used this prior to knowing that and ended up with quite a stained pillowcase.

I felt like it sat on my skin and wasn’t that readily absorbed.. making my skin feel greasy hence I think it was just too heavy for my skin.

There is a slight scent to the product but not overpowering.

The packaging again is not really for me - even though they are quite simple with their packaging I kind of feel like they aim it towards a different target audience. So I’m not really too excited by it. The actual dropper bottle is nice but hard to see how much product is left.

It’s ok for occasional use for me but probably not every day. Just a wee bit too heavy.

i tried this and i think it was just my skin type but it started to feel itchy so immediately stooped using it after about three applications because the irritation wouldn't go away. i tried the product because a friend recommended it, but my skin was highly sensitive to it :(

There are pluses and minuses to this product for me. I have combination skin that is also prone to acne. I loved the crisp look of the packaging in white with a hint of pink detailing and that the box is recyclable due to use of vegetable inks. I love that this product is cruelty free which is a huge tick on my list when looking at New products to try. The bottle is gorgeous in a sort of white marble look with a white glass dropper top that looks stunning in any makeup and skincare set. The bottle is easy to use and dispense an accurate amount of product. I used this product as a once a week overnight boost due to my acne prone skin. The oils fragrance wasn't the nicest facial oil I've tried but wasn't bad just not my taste. The oil applied easily and smoothly to my face and neck. In the morning my face felt a bit oily and I found my skin would have a couple of small pimples pop up in the day after using this oil but nothing like my usual acne spots. I found my skin after the morning cleanse really supple and soft!! I also found that it reduced the darkness under my eyes a little but may have been more significant with more regular use of the product than once a week. Overall I don't find my face needing much in the way of facial oils as my moisturizing regime is enough but this was a nice wee treat for my skin and would likely be a great product for those with dryer skin or those less prone to acne. I definitely recommend this oil but for the higher price tag it's not something I personally eod invest in.

I received a free sample bottle of this oil with my purchase of a body wash in this range so I was so happy as I had read great reviews about this product but sadly my skin did not like it one bit.I have pretty sensitive skin and using oil serums on my face tend to break me out I have noticed,this one was not any different.I used the serum for about 4 days on well cleansed skin at night time and while it did give me a nice radiant glow,it also made me break out.This serum had such a lovely smell and felt lovely to use,even absorbed well into my skin but just was not suitable for my skin unfortunately which is a shame because I am starting to love Linden Leaves products.

I was super excited about trialling this product - my skin had been really dry and scaly, especially around my mouth etc (I think air con at work wasn't helping). So have been using it for a week - replacing my moisturiser and using this instead. I think that it might been too much for my skin. My skin has gone very patchy, rough and worse than it was.

I dont know if it was me using too much, and too often, or that my skin just doesnt agree with it, but not really working for me.

I will definitley try again though, once my skin has totally cleared and see if it is better. But yep, think I went a bit overboard and my skin was just not that into it!

Firstly the packaging is lovely, so fresh bright and clean of clutter. Linden Leaves is on ooint with its branding and the packaging is very appealing. This product, with it's eye dropper applicator delivers just the right amount, if not a little too generous for what you actually need. I found the tiniest amount of oil went a long way. The smell was delicious in the bottle, with the slightest hint of floral. But on my skin it takes on an ugly 'fish and chip' used oil smell, which might be due to my skin chemistry rather than the product itself. I also found the oil did not absorb well into my skin when used on its own and rather sat on the surface. Leaving a smudgey film behind as it dried. I also tried to combine it with the moisturiser and night cream of the same range and had the same issues. Lastly I mixed it in with a different moisturiser and had success with the dry down, the oily smell dissipated, and it seems to have absorbed into my skin leaving it soft and smooth. I am not 100% sold on this product, I have found it fussy to use and seen no results after using it every day for almost 2 weeks. I might try some in my hair as the next step and see if it improves some of the dry brittleness in the ends. Although, such a smal bottle it is probably not an economical solution for a hair treatment. I probably wont buy this again as it has not delivered on any of the claims of the product and it didn't seem to agree with my skin.

Such a lovely product. Makes my skin super soft and when I wake my face feels hydrated. But I can’t get past the smell. It’s not a great scent and can’t get past it unfortunately.

I have been using facial oils for several years so was really excited to try the Miraculous Facial Oil. Reading the list of ingredients I was surprised at there being benzyl alcohol but gave it a go anyway. I found the oil sat on my skin rather than absorbing into it as I expected. So I mixed a couple of drops into the Essential Moisturiser and found it absorbed better then. The fragrance is lovely & the dropper applicator is very convenient. I've never broken out from using a facial oil but I did with this one. To make sure I wasn't imagining things I used the Miraculous Oil on one side of my face and another 100% facial oil on the other. Although it's not a very scientific experiment due to the oils being different the result was the 100% oil side being smoother and softer than the blended oil. For the price, in my opinion there are better facial oils on the market and I'd only use this one again if I had nothing else.
