Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil

I had never been able to stick with facial oils before, I found they left my face feeling greasy, and the small benefit to my skin just wasn't worth it. Fast forward to now, and I'm using this product every single night!

I add a couple of drops to my Linden Leaves Essential Facial Moisturiser and apply it just before bed. It takes about 15 minutes to properly sink into your skin, but after that it looks glowy and smooth!

I really do notice a difference if I skip a night, as when I wake up my skin is less soft, and healthy looking. It also helps to keep my dryness under control as I use some quite abrasive skin products for my acne.

After using it for a few months I've noticed that a lot of my scarring has faded, and my skin seems to heal faster than ever! I am dreading the day that I run out of my Miraculous Facial Oil as it truly has been miraculous for my skin! Luckily that won't be any time soon as with this product, a little goes a long way.

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.

The Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil is a New Zealand brand, made with natural ingredients and suitable for all skin types. It's also cruelty free! I generally have oily skin, but during the winter season my skin gets very dry, especially when it’s windy. So, I was pretty excited to be chosen to trial this product.

I only used this oil during the night time. I washed and toned my face before I applied the Linden Leave Miraculous Facial Oil. I followed the instructions on the box. I squeezed three drops onto my palm and rubbed my palms together. I then applied the oil onto my face and neck. I also dabbed the oil around my eye areas.

I found that the oil was light and non-greasy as my skin didn’t appear oily, which I feared it might. The morning after I’ve applied the oil, my skin remained non-greasy and it was also smooth and all appearances of dryness had disappeared. Over the few weeks of using the oil, the scars on my skin appeared lighter.

The only thing I didn’t like about this product is the awful smell, it often made me gag, but over time I got used to it. I might just have a sensitive nose. Otherwise, I believe the Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil is a fabulous product and I recommend it to those who have oily skin to give this a go.

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!

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.

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 was pleasantly surprised by this super little oil. Having naturally dry skin I find oils tend to give a better hydration than standard moisturiser but I’m always skeptical as to the success/absorption etc. This product smells fantastic and rejuvenates tired skin. I enjoyed a long lasting supple feel to my face. Would buy more of this stuff if it wasn’t so pricey!

I recently bought this as part of my Beauty Review Haul and I’m so glad I did. I have tried this oil in a sample size before but feel my skin has changed since then. I’m almost 40 and recently my skin has gone from oily/combo to normal/combo and my skin is literally drinking up any oil I apply to it. I normally use a rosehip oil which I really enjoy but just feel it needed more. This has left my skin plump, moisturised and smooth and I’m loving it. I try to use NZ brands where I can and am so pleased I retried this one. I will definitely repurchase this oil and have already recommended it to friends.

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.
