Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil

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 have recently started using Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil and I am far beyond impressed. I religiously use Trilogy Rosehip Oil and I think this may even be better! It has been a few days now using it every night and my skin feels amazing. The last few days have seen a not so lovely breakout and this oil seems to have given it the nutrients to clear up my skin! I am definitely going to keep using this one. Also not to mention the delicious smell and the way your skin feels in the morning is devine!

I was given the Linden Leaves Gift With Purchase that included this product.

It comes in a small glass dropper bottle. It is cute, but I had major difficulty getting the lid off the first time I used it! The glass is clear so you can see the bright amber oil inside.

There are many oils of this type available now and I think this is one of the better ones, even though there isn’t much between them. This one is slightly thicker and less greasy. It has no discernible scent.

It says it is enhanced with natural ingredients such as rosehip to soften and treat the skin whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. High in antioxidants, this hydrating facial oil provides an instant boost to skin and delivers a radiant glow. It does give my skin a boost and a soft glow, and feels lovely on my skin. I’ve been using it after the facial moisturiser and brightening serum and my skin looks complete – clear and glossy - at the end.

If you’re a fan of facial oils then certainly I recommend trying this. If you can get the pack of minis to try them all, that’s a great way to go. You don’t need to use much of each product so they’re not too bad economically. This oil is $64.00 but it really only needs a few drops per day so it will last for ages.

I was given this as a xmas gift and had never really thought to use it until now and I love it! It's not too oily on your skin and it really does make you feel refreshed and revitalized. I have only used it about 4 times so far but am already noticing that my skin is softer.

I have oily-combination skin, and I find this serum wonderful. I use it every second night, instead of a night cream, and I love it!

The smell is delicious - I find other oils/serums can be quite herby for me. You only use a couple of drops, but I recommend getting a sample of it first, as this could be a big investment for something you dont like.

The sample (3ml) has the cutest little dropper and bottle, but is enough to last a couple of weeks, if you use it like I do, so a full bottle should last 4 - 5 months. Of course, if you are like me, you will be wanting to try other serums along the way so a full bottle could easily last over a year!

I received a little 3ml sample bottle of Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil as my Day 5 gift in a 2016 beauty advent calendar.

I was a little hesitant to use this facial oil, as I'd only used Rosehip Oil before and all Rosehip Oil seems to smell rather fishy to me and I really don't like the smell. But, the smell of this facial oil was pleasantly surprising. It smelled quite nice.

The box said to use 1-2 drops, but I found that I had to use 3-4 drops from the tiny dropper, to be able to spread the golden coloured oil sparingly across my face and down my neck. 1-2 drops only did half my face (forehead, nose and tops of cheeks). My hands were completely dry by the time I reached my cheeks and chin and no amount of massaging moved the tiny bit of oil any lower down my face.

As I have oily skin, I chose to use this nightly, instead of night cream and found that it left my skin feeling soft and smooth, with absolutely no oily residue. By the time I had put the drops in my palm and rubbed my hands together, the oil had practically disappeared. There was the smallest amount to be spread over my face.

I'm not sure how miraculous this oil is, as I haven't seen a huge change in my skin, other than a few more breakouts than I usually have. I'm not using any new products, other than this oil, so I'm not sure what's causing the breakouts. Maybe my skin just doesn't like this product.

I highly doubt that I would buy a full sized bottle, as it is expensive and I haven't been overly wowed by it.

I loved the packaging. Linden leaves has such clean sophisticated packaging it makes you want to buy everything off the store shelf.

The oil smells somewhat like a cross between an herb and floral smell, not a big fan of it but it did not bother me either. The oil was not heavy and absorbs quite easily into the skin. Now, here the tricky part, it wasnt hydrating enough to use on its own, but then that could be because my skin has been quite dry lately. When used on its own, my skin still felt tight and itchy. Im quite glad that there was a set with this becuase it worked quite well under a moisturiser and left my skin well hydrated.

I was looking for an alternative to my trusty Trilogy Rosehip Oil. I had been using it exclusively for a year and just felt the need to mix it up a bit. I had heard really positive things about the Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil and decided to give it a go. I was a bit hesitant to try it as it does have more ingredients and fragrance compared to my standard oil but I am so pleased that I did.

The oil has a lovely texture that sinks into my skin immediately. It smells delicious and it did not irritate my skin. I always have a mix of fresh acne and acne in various stages of healing. After the first night of using this I woke up to skin that was significantly calmer and less inflamed - that is a miraculous feeling for me!

As I am a student it is on the expensive side for me but I will continue to repurchase it and use it in combination with my Trilogy oil. As this has been successful in calming my hormonal acne I would love to add in more products from the line to see if I can find more gems.

I love that this is a New Zealand company and certified organic! I have a feeling this oil has started a love affair with Linden Leaves.

After being gifted a few Linden Leaves products I had the opportunity to try this facial oil. I generally used it at night - sometimes over moisturiser but not always, as 3-4 drops was moisturising enough to use on it's own after cleansing.

Was it miraculous? Well, it managed to keep my face intensely moisturised without making break me out or look oily (I could even get away with applying it in the morning in the place of a moisturiser as long as I gave it time to sink in before applying makeup). Plus I loved the smell - I love vanilla type fragrances so that was my favourite aspect of the product. However, it didn't provide me with any results that differed markedly from what I've found with cheaper oils (i.e. pure rosehip oil), so while it's a lovely indulgent gift and lasts a reasonable amount of time, at the current price I wouldn't purchase it myself at this point - perhaps when aging concerns are becoming more of a problem I'd be more likely to revisit it.

First of all, I was impressed by the beautiful packaging - very minimalist but conveys warm natural hues and RECYCLABLE! Luxurious glass dropper - perfect for dispensing small drops of oil. I spread a few drops of this over my face and neck at night and I've noticed a definite improvement in the dry spots on face as well a feeling of plumpness and smoothness. I had a few spots of acne scarring but they have been markedly reduced after using this for a couple of weeks. The oil is not too sticky but also very rejuvenating.
