Hydrating and great for my eczema and ultra dry face. No irritation and it can be used as a cleanser. Perfect for me. Thank you
Bought for my adult son at Christmas. He’s tried all sorts before without much benefit. He only gets eczema around his eyes. He says it’s already working.
This review is actually for the Calm Butter No,3. I have tried a lot of the new Calming Butters / Balms around at the moment and I think this one is the best. Most don't sink into the skin or stay on top of your skin making you and you hair / everything around you very greasy but this one sunk straight in, it also turns to oil so quickly, barely need to rub or press. I found pairing it with the Illuminate Face Oil really enhanced the oil and gave that extra hydration my skin really needs.
Would buy again
Bought this for my daughter with very sensitive skin going through TSW. She loves it, so I purchased the big one. Lovely quality
Works well, I wouldn't say it's strong enough for me to use alone as a moisturiser, but I maybe have the driest skin in the world, its gone down very quickly because of this for me, unfortunately doesn't sink right in. Anita however is brilliant and so helpful. I would purchase again because of the ingredients and would like to see the results when me skin isn't as bad / dry as it is at the moment.
I am so grateful to Anita and Apothecary & Me. I have developed eye lid eczema which spread. I have never had any skin problems before in my 51 years, so this has been a frustrating experience. I tried the normal things recommended by the GP; steroids etc. However I felt really worried about using them on my eyes, so stopped and looked for an alternative. This has been a life saver. It’s calmed my skin and controlled the spread. I’m not out of the woods yet but I feel I’m on the way. I recognise that at my age my skin cycle is much slower so I expect it to take longer to restore my skin. Anita was wonderful when my delivery was delayed, saving the day with an emergency next day delivery! Thank you! She also answered my questions and gave me really helpful advice. Thank you!
Have only used this product for a few days but can already feel and see a difference to the red rashy area of my chest which for first time in months looks less inflamed and red. Am impressed so far and will be continuing to use this. Will aso give some to my son to try to see if it helps clear the eczema on his face
The first thing you should know about me is that I never EVER write reviews. I am mid thirties with two young children. When I was pregnant I had a serious bout of perioral dermatitis, which never cleared up. The last 12 months, I have felt really conscious of my red skin and tried everything to get it sorted. Not to mention the constant burning and itching. I must've spent £500+ on lotions and potions. Nothing worked, even prescription creams. This oil popped up on my instagram and I thought, what's another £40.... so it arrived. WOW, two days in, the burning and itching stopped. A month later, my skin is clear and I actually feel like my skin barrier has repaired. My skin even glows. Thank you thank you thank you. I will be ordering more and trying your other products.
I bought this face oil as I was having problems with a horrendous skin rash I developed and couldn't get rid of. My face was burning, swollen and also very dry and this oil has really helped calm it down. The burning has stopped and the extreme dryness is beginning to clear up. Very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it.
The first facial scrub I’ve been able to use on my very sensitive skin and be effective on my dry patches.
I’m not getting in with this ‘butter’ at all. It’s a thick, crumbly texture - instructions are vague and just say you ‘melt it against your skin and add more as needed’. I can’t get a proper amount on at all never mind adding to it after. It stays in lumps on my fingers or on my face - I’ve tried ‘melting’ it against my skin both by rubbing it between my fingers and also directly on to my face. It’s so clumsy to use! It puts me off using it - tried for a week, no noticeable difference but skin is no worse. I’m giving up at this point. Shane as the advertising is very tempting.
I really like this oil. It's very moisturising, absorbs quite well and lasts for a long time. It's very light compared to many other facial oils I've bought in the past. It's not done much to improve my skin and complexion but I wasn't really expecting that. I will buy it again though as you don't really need much else on your face.
This was my second purchase for the full size bottle. The oil is beautiful and helps my skin feel soft and glow.
I have had facial eczema for many years and most products sting! This oil is great. Have been using it for a month and the dryness is improving
Really, really impressed with this product. I have eczema and have been struggling with it around my mouth; dry, itchy and irritated. I’d tried so many different products to try and keep it at bay but everything seemed to just irritate it further. I bought this on a whim and it’s been a game-changer. I use it as a moisturiser, not just around my lips but all over my face. I love that it’s completely fragrance-free.. some products claim this but actually still irritate but this just doesn’t at all. It’s helped reduce the redness and discomfort which was really unsightly and uncomfortable. Absolutely love it.. thank you!
These are brilliant and along with the no 1 oil have made my skin look and feel wonderful. Thank you
I love this oil. It feels beautiful on my skin and my skin feels soft and glowing after a few days of using it. Have ordered a larger bottle!
Scentless, light oil that’s absorbed quickly. Too soon to see if it controls my skin condition
I've not been using this for long but it is a lovely formula and my skin seems to like it. Very nice company to deal with too.
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.
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!
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!
