Goodness Certified Organic Chia Seed Oil Review

I'm happy I got this in a beauty box because this is a really nice facial oil. I wouldn't say it's the fastest absorbing facial oil but it doesn't take too long and it's not heavy on my skin. It's light enough that I can use it at night during summer and hydrating enough for day time in the winter and the cooler drier months. The scent is your typical facial oil smell just smells like oils but I really don't notice it unless I've got my nose to the bottle. The dropper works well and I like that the bottle is a dark one as that helps to preserve the integrity of the antioxidants better. One bottle has lasted me about five months so the price is quite reasonable. The main benefits I've noticed with this facial oil is hydration and it's great for sensitive skin. It helps keep my skin from feeling really dry and tight and if I've done a peel or have irritated skin from hayfever this just helps hydrate and sooth my skin a bit. I haven't noticed any brightening effects which I look for in my skincare but since it doesn't claim to on the box I'm not complaining. All around great facial oil for normal to combo to dry skin.

This product is one I repeatedly purchase. It's great value, and is fabulously hydrating on my skin which tends to be quite dry. I love that it leaves me with a dewy but not oily finish before popping on moisturiser

It's a lovely light oil, and it lasts because you only need 2 drops morning and night, which I pat on after applying Goodness Be Bright serum - the two work magically together.

It absorbs nicely - quite quick to some of the more expensive ones on the market. No oily shiny finish and skin stays hydrated all day and feels lovely first thing in the morning.

I am a HUGE fan of Goodness. I've bought the day/night cream repeatedly, as I have the cleanser and toner. However, the chia seed oil? It's a pass.

I bought the travel kit as I was going to be away a bit over the last few months and didn't want to bring all my full size products.

I had been keen to try the oil, but I'm glad I got to try the travel size version as I can honestly say that while it was hydrating and didn't break me out, the scent is not my favourite. 12 hours after using it I can still smell it, and it's very earthy and strong, and no matter how much I use it I can't get used to it.

I'll stick to the rest of the range, but this isn't for me, and I can't see myself recommending this particular product to a friend (despite telling friends the rest of the range is amazing) as the scent's too overwhelming.
