love this product, thank you! really like the feeling of the oil because it's not greasy at all , which i love. it seems to be working well with my skin so i will continue using it.
I've been using this for 2 weeks now, my skin does seem to drink it up. I am hoping it will fade my age/ sun spots and help with rosacea.
I am on my second bottle, I have had a sudden stresses out skin situation which was angry red and flakey inflamed skin, its was sore and dry, this oil has nourishes and soothes my skin, I am in antibiotics now to assist my skin and this oil has helped a lot!!
I've been trying to manage my severe acne for over 5 years now - my acne was very demoralising, it's been stubborn, painful and unsightly. The spots would grow very big and stay for ages. They were often big 3D domes, popping up anywhere on my face, and therefore very difficult to cover up. I am also 45 and peri menopausal so my skin is behaving very differently because of that. I've tried countless products, some with a small degree of efficacy, but this has been the first product to clear up my acne almost entirely. I was due to, reluctantly, start a course of Roaccutane but no longer feel I need to as my skin is the happiest it's been in years since using Illuminate. My pores have also decreased in size which is a side effect I wasn't expecting, not sure which ingredient is responsible for that. I'm about to purchase my 3rd bottle and put my foundation back in the drawer as I'm no longer using it, which is pretty liberating after years of covering up and feeling self conscious. Having read so many reviews on other websites of other people's miracle products, I was always disappointed when they didn't work for me. This product may not work for everyone, we all have different skin, but if like me you are beginning to feel a bit desperate because of acne, then this may be worth a try. It took a few weeks of slow but consistent improvement in acne and skin tone before I began to really believe that Illuminate might be the game-changer it's proven to be for me. I love the natural ingredients too. Thank you Anita!
I’ve never been a fan of face oil, however finding this little gem has turned my reasoning upside down. It’s lovely! Not too thick, but not too fluid-y that it runs off my face in a nanosecond, it absorbs beautifully, and it just feels like it’s doing me a power of good. Best of all, it’s cruelty free, vegan and organic. I’ll be back for more.
I started to get sore and itchy skin around my eyes and on my eyelids. I researched and Illuminate Face Oil was recommended. I started to use this for eye make up removal and the sore and itchy skin cleared up within days and has not returned since.
Taken on holiday to cleanse my skin while away. Small bottle size is very convenient and a few drops does the job.
When you have face and neck eczema that looks unsighly you will try anything to try and make it go away. It was in a spirit of despondency that I bought Illuminate No 1. I did not have high hopes but only a week later and I can say I absolutely love this product. I have been using in conjunction with some topical ointments but I hope to wean myself off those in a week or so and use the face oil on its own. Thank you Anita for your lovely product.
I brought this hoping it would help my perioral dermatitis and it really has. I wish I’d taken before and after pics but didn’t bother as after trying lots of other creams I wasn’t expecting much. I started noticing a difference after just a few days and now it’s gone completely.
Having tried numerous products over the years, with varying degrees of success (many offering only temporary relief from eczema ), I was nervous about spending on this one. However, the money back guarantee gave me the confidence to give it a try: I am now about to order my third bottle of Illuminate. It has been fantastic- my face loves it! I have had calm skin for months now. Thanks for this amazing product.
I have TSW and thought I’d be trying just another product that wouldn’t make a difference. This oil, in combination with the Calm Butter seems to be good for my skin so far.
Oh my goodness at last I have found something that treats perioral dermatitis and huge bonus it's natural. Absolutely over the moon
Perimenopause had brought dry skin around my mouth, nose and eyes. All my usual skincare made it worse and I couldn't fond anything new to alleviate it either. Until I tried Illuminate face oil that is! It cleared it quickly and has kept it at bay. There is no greasiness to the oil and it absorbs like a dream. And my skin looks radiant! I love it.
This has really helped my skin both on my face and hands. It does not sting or irritate my already sore and itchy skin
I have never found anything that works so well on my face, I’ve bought the bigger bottle instantly and it’s been a saviour for my hands also my eczema
This is the best face oil I have ever used. It sinks into my skin and leaves it feeling nourished - and calm! My skins glows and the oil has helped treat my sensitivity, from first use.
I ordered this product after seeing the amazing reviews. I have suspected periorificial dermatitis and have used this for about two weeks, unfortunately to no avail. Although a lovely product, my symptoms are worsening, sadly.
I’ve been using the oil and calming butter for a few weeks, sadly neither seen or felt any improvement to my facial eczema. Occasionally, depending on how inflamed my skin is, these products, particularly the oil, can irritate my skin more, but when the inflammation and redness calms it seems ok. Will persevere with both the oil and balm to see if there is any improvement over the coming weeks. I remain ever hopeful!
I have suffered with excema flares all my life .
When I get stressed my eyes are the first think to get dry, cracked , itchy and sore which obviously adds to my stress.
I am in my late 50’s now and have tried SO many products that don’t work for very long before I react to them.
I’ve been using your oil for about 6 weeks now and it was hard weaning myself off any other products but yours … and , since using solely the oil my skin has loved it!
I have also used your calm butter which is amazing and makes my skin feel hydrated and nourished.
Thankyou again for making such a wonderful , natural product !
I have perioral dermatitis and based on the reviews tried this and followed the instructions to a T! However this didn't work at all well and after 10 days and my rashes looking significantly worse than when I started, I gave up. Went back to using my normal oat based moisturizer and feeling much better now. Nothing would make me go back to using illuminated, it was greasy and heavy and made my skin so much worse!
Im always sceptical about buying a skin product on line as I can’t test it, This oil has been amazing I had like perioral dermatitis on my nose and it was so painful, I have been using the oil for two weeks and it’s nearly cleared …no more pain either.
Thank you so much 😀
I’m blown away by the way that this oil has, well, changed my life really! I ordered on a very low budget, because I was desperate for relief from my hot, sore rosacea and newly inflamed skin around my eyes, and because I didn’t see one negative review.
I am so very glad I did - I noticed an immediate effect, with no oiliness just softness, like my skin was coming back to life. Less than a month later, I am continually noticing the improvement in my skin and it no longer dominates my life. Thank you!
For years I have been dealing with pustules on my face and flare ups of perioral dermatitis. Countless visits to GPs and dermatologists have failed to diagnose and treat the issue. Countless prescribed, over the counter and online products have also failed. I was giving up hope on finding a solution. I saw Apothecary & Me on Instagram and read the testimonials and thought it was worth a shot. I am so pleased I did!! My skin absolutely loves these products. Within 2 weeks my pustules have all but disappeared and the perioral dermatitis has calmed down. I can't wait to see how my skin looks in a month's time. The oil sinks into your skin without feeling greasy and my skin feels hydrated. I also received the calming cream in error, which was a very happy mistake! I absolutely love how it moisturises my skin without irritation. A huge thank you from me and my skin! Would highly recommend.
I had really dry, flaky skin on my eyelids and dry skin on my cheek below my eye for months. Nothing else helped, but after 2 weeks using the oil my skin is totally clear of the dry patches and back to normal. Thank you so much!
