After another mystery eczema outbreak on my face my usual moisturiser just didn’t help. This oil and the cleansing pads have made my skin feel so much better. Soft, moisturised, calm and smooth. Thank you x
My husband had a nasty eczema outbreak recently and I happened to see one of your ads on Instagram. The little parcel arrived very quickly and my husband actually used your oil. Which was great because I think it really helped him. Sorry no photos but the huge red patches have vanished from his face and neck.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful face oil, my skin feels quenched and looks bright x
Game changer. Wasn’t expecting it to work but the eczema and rosacea on my face is controlled by this oil. So glad I bought it, couldn’t be without it now.

I've been using illuminate face oil for over a year now and I love it! I haven't got sensitive skin but it's still works wonder for me. I'm 57 and I feel that this oil gives me the daily hydration that my skin needs, and also that there is no nasty chemicals, inside, all super natural which is super important for me. I definitely recommend it!
Thank you so much, Florence! We're over the moon to hear that you've been loving Illuminate Face Oil for over a year! It’s wonderful that it’s giving your skin the hydration it needs, and we’re thrilled that the all-natural ingredients resonate with you. Your recommendation means the world to us! 😊
I held off reviewing until I knew this product worked for me, I just ordered my second bottle so I know it's right. I struggle with consistency in skincare due to sensory issues of water on my face and mental burnout that can leave me barely able to function. My skin has been suffering and is naturally dry with rosacea. I love this product as I don't need to wet my face and I have managed to cleanse almost every day using a damp bamboo pad. It doesn't quite remove my waterproof mascara but gets all other makeup off. I have been using it as a moisturiser too as it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue. My skin is much more balanced and doesn't feel tight in the mornings, if I miss a day of cleanse/moisturise my skin is still balanced. Most excitingly, the rosacea pustules on my nose have gone from a daily occurrence to maybe once per fortnight, this is a huge improvement. I hope with further consistent use my redness may reduce but I am happy with the results and will keep using as my go to skincare product.
Thank you, Clare, for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that Illuminate Face Oil has made such a difference for your skin and fits into your routine with ease. It’s fantastic that your rosacea has improved, and we’re thrilled to be part of your skincare journey. Your results are inspiring, and we’re grateful for your trust in us! 😊
I have to say firstly, I cannot express my gratitude for this face oil! I had perioroal dermatitis in my 20s and this has recently resurfaced at 51 (peri-menopausal). I had been using prescription medication for the redness and spots, but the accompanying dryness was a real problem and I spent a lot of money on barrier repair creams, with no discernible benefit. I went on holiday aimed with a plethora of products and decided to wean off the medication as the spots were easing somewhat, but my skin (around my upper chin area) was literally peeling off in dry, flaky sheets - maybe as a consequence of the medication. I hadn't used the Illuminate face oil as a treatment up until this point, only as a cleanser (which again is fantastic), but I slathered it on in desperation and I have to say, after having peeled off the offending dead skin, this repaired the new skin underneath within 3 days! I couldn't believe a product with such few ingredients could be so powerful, but maybe that is in fact, the key! I have used it religiously since then, morning and night and my skin is pimple free and replenished. I will not be without this miracle oil now! It has literally saved my skin. I used it on holiday underneath my mineral SPF and in line with sensible sun exposure, they seemed to complement each other beautifully and I did not burn (I usually do) - I look healthy and not sun fried. This is a phenomenal all round skin treat and I thank you most sincerely.

I really wish I had found this product years ago, it has worked wonders for my eyes and face. I have reactive eczema and suffer often with red, sore and then dry flakey skin around my eyes, eyelids and lips. Since using this oil my skin is clear most of the time, flares up are much less and I quickly recover. I have used this oil for 2 months now and will not stop. Thank you so much for creating a product that works so well for eczema sufferers.
We're so glad you found us, Ria! It’s wonderful to hear how Illuminate Face Oil has made such a positive impact on your skin, especially for your eczema. Knowing that it helps keep flare-ups at bay and aids in quick recovery is truly rewarding. Thank you for trusting us and for your kind words about our product—it’s a pleasure to be part of your skincare routine! 😊
I have had sensitive skin that reacts to everything since childhood so finding clean skin care products that don't anger my face is a must. So when a product works well that is a relief, AND this face oil not only does one job well, but it does all great! Thank you! It's a saviour.
What a joy to hear from you, Lynn! We're thrilled that Illuminate Face Oil has become a powerhouse in your skincare routine, especially given your sensitive skin. It’s fantastic to know it meets all your needs without causing irritation! Thank you for trusting us to support your skin—it means so much to us to be a part of your journey! 😊
This is my second purchase of this amazing oil. It has totally transformed my skin.
I was suffering from eczema on my eyelids and felt so self conscious I didn’t want to go out. After trying several other creams and nothing working, I decided to give this a try. It is a joy to use, leaves my skin feeling plump, hydrated and glowing. My eczema has reduced significantly and now I leave the house with confidence. I will definitely stick with this from now on as my daily moisturiser. I use it alongside the glow scrub oil which is also fantastic. It’s just a game changer. So glad I found this fantastic brand.
I've recently had a whole load of skin patch testing done and it turns out I have allergies to some natural fragrance compounds. Customer service was great, helping me to decide if this product should be safe for me. So far, so good, although I've only just started using it on my face. I've been testing twice a day on my inside forearm to be safe, and all is clear! Let's see what happens!
I wasn’t sure this oil would live up to the hype but it’s been a game changer. My sensitive, eczema prone skin has been impacted by the perimenopause and I’ve been dealing with rosacea as well since last year. Almost everything I try makes my face feel tight or tingly, and makes the dry patches worse. This oil feels like the gentlest balm I could put on my face - no reaction whatsoever except softness, smoothness and my dry patches are almost gone after 2 weeks. I’ve now bought the glow scrub - again, it’s so gentle unlike other exfoliants which irritate my skin. I’m a convert!
I have been suffering with eczema on my eyelids and around my lips for a few years and have tried everything under the sun but to no avail. I then came across your illuminate face oil a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try. Well after nearly two weeks of using this amazing oil my dry flaky eyelids and lips are smooth and feel hydrated. I also purchased the illuminate face scrub which is also amazing. I am now looking to change my body care products to your bath oils and body scrubs so the rest of my skin can feel the benefits. Thank you Apothecary and Me, you truly have been my skin saviour.
I bought this for my adult son facial eczema and decided to also use it to remove my make up and to moisturise (as I have rosacea and problems with acne since the menopause). It's a lovely light oil and I love it with a damp pad to remove makeup. It is easy to dispense the correct amount of drops and it's unscented. My son hasn't used it consistently yet to comment, but it has completely calmed my skin and I barely have a blemish now. For that reason alone Im ditching my previous expensive skin care and simplifying by just using this oil.
I have been struggling with problems with the skin round my eyes and eye lids for months and waiting for a dermatology appointment. From the very first time I used this I had instant relief - I’ve now been using for almost 2 weeks and although it hasn’t solved the problem completely I have about an 80% reduction in irritation and I no longer want to constantly scratch my eyes out . I’m hoping things will continue to improve over the coming weeks.
I kept seeing the adverts for this product which claimed to help the exact skin condition as mine - flaking hairline, eyebrows and eyelids which were sore, dry and irritated. I had to give it a go and it did not disappoint. It took a week for the improvements to really show and now my skin is looking like it used to. I use the oil in conjunction with my usual moisturiser as it seems to bind on a bit better. A good application a bedtime then a lighter touch in the morning after a thorough cleanse is my routine. I'm very happy and it is well worth the investment. Thank you!
Saw this oil being advertised on Instagram and thought I’d give it a try. I’m so glad I did! It’s soothing, calming and really moisturises. I love it
Excellent. I bought this for my son, who has eczema and his skin flared up badly recently after using a coconut based shampoo. The oil seems to have helped and has calmed the skin considerably.
Didn't work for me sadly but giving 4stars for the customer service. The refund policy is smooth no nonsense, so if anyone is worried about it, don't be. Try it. As usual with every skincare it may work or may not but with this there is security of money back if it doesn't
Thank you for your thoughtful review! Again, we're are sad our product didn't work for you, but we're glad you had a great experience with our customer service and refund policy. We're here to help if you decide to try us again. Thanks for encouraging others to give us a go!
Having hit the menopause, my skin on my face had become very dry, flaky and red.
I was recommended to try Apothcary and me illuminate face oil as it is organic and would not upset my sensitive skin. I have been using the product twice a day for a couple of weeks and have noticed my skin is not as dry and flaky, I will continue to use this product which has helped my skin’s appearance since using.
Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled our Illuminate Face Oil has become your menopause skin superhero! ♀️ It's fantastic to hear your skin is feeling happier and healthier. Keep shining!
I never normally write reviews but 2 weeks in and I’m already convinced I’ll be ordering more. Fact that it’s completely unscented as well as multi-purpose is brilliant and a little goes a long way. My skin feels so much better already. Win, win.
Thank you We're thrilled our product inspired you to break your no-review streak! The unscented, multi-purpose magic is indeed a win-win. Here's to happy skin and a little going a long way! Cheers to your next order!
I woke up with red,flaky skin Easter Monday and at 76y had never had 'bad skin's. Drs gave steroid cream and antibiotics but it just got worse and sides of face felt scaly and rough and my neck started to be affected. I had used the same facial products for years and had facials etc. Nothing anyone said to do do made any difference and make up just went claggy. I found apothecary illuminate face oil on Facebook and sent for some and it was better in just few days so am sticking with it.
Thank you for sharing your story! We're so glad our Illuminate Face Oil has brought you some face heaven! At 76, discovering a new skincare hero is so fabulous and I am glad it was us! Here's to smoother, happier skin and saying goodbye to those 'bad skin' days!! Keep glowing! ✨
After suffering with itchy dry eyelids flare up my normal go to was no longer working, so I google searched natural products to help. I stumbled across this product and it has been a complete game changer. I now only wash and moisturise my eyes with this alongside my entire face and my itchy dry eyelids have now healed. Thank you so much for creating this lovely oil cleanser/moisturiser. It has even helped my 6 year old son who suffers with itchy eyelids from hay fever, a tiny drop goes along way. x
We're delighted to hear that our oil cleanser/moisturiser has brought happiness to your eyelids and provided relief for both you and your son. It's wonderful to know that it's been a game changer in soothing dryness and itchiness. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
