Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil

Ok, I am going to be honest here, when I first received the oil I was excited, yes, but a little dubious about whether this would be another beauty product that I would use for a week then forget about. I then read about this product online and I still wasn't sold until I tried it. It really is amazing!

Firstly this isn't your typical oil as it absorbs into the skin almost as soon as you apply it. I have used oils in the past but this one really is much nicer, so much so that even my husband who hates oils (and most creams) loves this product. It feels so soft and leaves your skin feeling nourished and glowing.

About four drops rubbed into your hands and applied to your face is all you need so although this product is a bit pricey it will last for ages. It is also filled with quality ingredients like rosehip and evening primrose oil so it is worth the price.

The thing that I love most about this oil is that it perfectly complements the day and night creams so you can create a custom facial depending on your skin's needs. Super dry skin, then add more oil, simple!

The packaging is attractive and the dropper bottle easy to use. I found 3-4 drops worked well when using this product alone or 1-2 drops in the night cream and 1 drop in the day cream.

I have normal to combination skin and found this oil to work wonderfully well. I feel like my skin is brighter and in better condition since starting to use the oil. I actually look forward to my nighttime routine of mixing my oil into my Linden Leave night cream so I would say this is one oil you need to try!

This facial oil contains all the necessities for a skin that has seen a lot of sun, especially the organic white tea which I know aids cell regeneration. Coupled with both organic evening primrose oil and organic rosehip oil my skins elasticity has improved already, although I did need to use a bit more than the few drops recommended on the packaging. I will buy it again and will use it when an extra boost is needed and will also add a drop or two into my night cream occasionally.

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. :)

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.

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 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.

I have been searching all winter to find something with that little bit extra to help with seriously dry skin. I have found what I needed in this product! Smells amazing and can feel the oil soaking into my skin immediately.

Packaging makes it easy to use, doesn't get everywhere but does come out fast if you don't pay attention.

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!

Love this oil! This would now be my new go to oil , it has all that I hold dear to my values , sustainable packaging , elegant white bottles , against animal testing , and organic Rosehip oil , organic evening primrose oil which is full of antioxidants and organic white tea. The fragrance would have to be the best smelling in a rose hip oil mix I've tried ,light ,softly fragrant. My skin defiantly showed an improvement after 10 days in hydration and looked more dewy , my mature skin soaks up the oil straight away which is great as there is nothing worse than looking like an oil slick! A little goes a long way , I put a few drops on my skin at night and massage it in

I recieved a small sample sized bottle of this oil in a christmas beauty advent calander, and I got about 10 applications out of it.

Wow, I loved this stuff, it felt like such a luxurious product to use.

This oil is reasonably dense and has a beautifully fragrant floral aroma. It feels super hydrating, soothing, and nutritious for the skin, and visibly provides a radiant dewy glow. I was so sad to come to the end of my little bottle of this oil!

I would definitely consider purchasing a full size bottle of this serum, although it's more of an expensive option than i'd usually go for. Definitely recommend as a nice little treat for yourself.
