Perfect duo......

A gorgeous skincare oil, simple, clean, efficient, nourishing and beautifully packaged - the perfect product. The scrub is lovely, the best I've used. Not a great exfoliation person, but this has converted me.
1st class service......... thank you Anita. These will be my go-to skincare products now. Looking forward to trying the Calm Butter.

Lovely facial oil!

I've been using this for just over a week now and it's really made a difference. My skin had been struggling after a rosaeca flare up and nothing seemed to be helping. In desperation I thought I'd try this oil as I've loved using oils in the past. It took a day or two for my skin to get used to it but I can tell it's helping. My face feels so much more comfortable and less dry. Skin feels less sensitive and delicate, has more bounce and redness is reduced. So overall I'm pretty happy with it! Am hoping that with continued use, the results will get better and I'll be able to come off the antibiotic gel. If you're thinking about trying this, give it a go, it may seem like a simple product but it does wonders!

Amazing for sensitive teen skin

My teenage daughter’s skin had been flaring up - redness and itching under eyes and a sore red patch at the side of her face. She had been using products designed for sensitive skin so we were a bit stuck what to try. She had a medicated cream from the pharmacy which worked for a few days but we were keen to find a gentler and longer term alternative. We decided to give the face oil a try after seeing it on Instagram. In just a few days my daughter’s skin had improved significantly - no more redness under her eyes and her skin condition over her whole face was really clear and glowing. Amazing! Also the patch of rosacea that she had had for years practically disappeared. The support from Anita has also been brilliant (we emailed when we were considering the product). My daughter uses this for removing make-up, cleansing and moisturising so it actually works out as great value.
I highly recommend this product - my daughter has been using it for about a month now and she loves it!

Life Saver

I have stress eczema on my eyelids and this oil is just wonderful! It clears it up in 24 hours and feels so gentle and calming. I honestly don't know what I would do without it now. Amazing!

Love it! Gorgeous

This is my third bottle, it’s dreamy on my eczema redness prone skin! Feels lovely!

Skin feels good

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 actually used it!

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.

Stunning product

Thank you so much for such a wonderful face oil, my skin feels quenched and looks bright x

Wonderful

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.

Thank you so much, Mary, for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that Illuminate Face Oil has been such a game changer for your eczema and rosacea. It’s stories like yours that remind us why we do what we do. So glad it’s now a staple in your routine! 😊

Love this little bottle of goodness!

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! 😊

Skin saveur

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! 😊

Skin Transformation

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.

Thank you so much, Andrea, for sharing such a personal and powerful journey! We’re incredibly moved by how Illuminate Face Oil has played a role in your skin's transformation, especially after battling perioral dermatitis. It's truly inspiring to see how it supported your skin’s recovery and helped you regain balance, even during your holiday. Stories like yours remind us of the impact this product can have and also make us so happy, and we’re deeply honored to be part of your skincare routine!

Amazing product

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! 😊

Versatile, powerhouse that my skin LOVED

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! 😊

Miracle Oil

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.

So far, so good!

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!

Amazed!

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!

Nice smoothing face /body oil

My Skin Saviour

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.

Beautiful light to medium viscosity oil

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.

Amazing !

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.

Healing Bottle of Good Stuff!

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!

So lovely

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!
