I was sent this as part of a giveaway. I think it was a magazine that was giving out about 2000 of these. When I signed up, I was just thinking it would be a little sample but I was lucky enough to get the full 20ml bottle size.
This comes in a standard oil bottle with the dropper in it so you can easily get the small amount that you need out without waste. The bottle is made of dark glass and with the silver lid and purple packaging, I think it looks really appealing and more expensive than what it actually is.
I love facial oils but my experience so far has only been with jojoba and rosehip oils. Chia seed oil to me is a much lighter version of oil. I find this sinks into my skin very quickly and although it does feel hydrating, it isn't as hydrating as the other oils I have used. I do have very dry skin so I prefer the more hydrating options but it is nice to be able to apply this and then not have to wait a long time before applying moisteriser and makeup. I would imagine this would be the perfect oil for more normal and oily skin types as I think those skin types would benefit much more from the lighter hydration.
I personally like to use 5 drops of this. I find this covers my face and neck pretty adequately without being overly greasy. I've been using this for a couple of months and have used just over half the bottle up with just applying this once a day in the morning. Even though this is only a small bottle, it will last a long time so I feel like it's good value for money.
I probably won't specifically go out and buy this once I'm done but I would use it again if it was in a beauty box or giveaway. But that really is because of my dry skin, not because I think it's a bad oil so I would recommend it to a friend who didn't share my skin type.
I love the way this makes my skin look and feel immediately after applying. I'm not sure if there's been any long term results but it is lovely to use and a price that means I can keep using it to find out! While I had problems reacting or something with the every morning moisturiser I have had none using this so I can use this as a replacement but be careful not to get it on your sensitive eye area as I noticed after a few times accidentally swiping it there I have a wee milia moisture bead.
