I had oily, acne skin in college, then it turned to combination skin, then very sensitive skin. I would never put oil on my face. Well, let me tell you, my skin is so sensitive that I get red
itchy blotches....this duo is like putting a fire out. The oil ISN'T oily if you can believe that. 1 drop is good for my entire face and my skin drinks it like water! Thank you Apothocary And Me!!👍

I just ordered my normal illuminate face oil which is fabulous, but whilst on line Anita was promoting this absolutely fabulous little bottle green velvet toiletry bag containing a mini illuminate and face scrub omg they are fabulous, I never stop and am always on the go as I’m scared to stop and this is perfect for every weekend away, I can’t tell you how ideal this little pouch is I just love it! If you live Apothecary and me you need this!!! Thank you so so much Anita

I have never felt compelled to write a review before. However these products (face oil and calm butter) are the only cosmetics that do not irritate my skin. During the menopause I have developed perioral dermatitis and very sensitive skin. Before my skin was so clear and easy.

These products along with a change in diet have completely cleared up my face. My skin is glowing and lost all its redness. I doubt I will ever use anything else again. I will definitely be investing in more products in the future. I’m already on my second bottle of face oil! Best investment!

At 42, I normally hate oils on my skin; I don't even like wearing foundation or sun screen of any kind. But the Illuminate oil is amazing. It works so well as a little luxury at the end of a crazy day, leaving my skin soft and clean when I use it as a cleanser. I put a little on before bed and in the morning before my make up. It's not oily at all, and makes my skin feel smooth, soft, and healthy. It feels better now than it did in my 20s. Very grateful to have found this! Highly recommend for anyone who cares about feeding their skin healthy ingredients.

Nice oil

This is the third product I have now purchased, so that's gotta say something right?!!
Only need to use this scrub once a week. The smell is gorgeous and it leaves your skin feeling amazing. I honestly cannot fault these products. They have been my lifesaver after suffering from extremely dry skin and reacting to everything that I put on my face. No more!!!!!

Gorgeous my ultra sensitive skin is a happy bunny

I'd bought the oil, which was fabulous, so I thought I'd add to the collection, knowing my skin doesn't react to the ingredients. I tend to use this more at night or when I get dry patches on my perimenopausal skin and the oil doesn't quite solve it. Doesn't make your skin look or feel grease and has no smell. I love these products a d just ordered the scrub!

I don't normally bother doing reviews. However, I have to say, this product has saved me. Since turning 40 and being perimenopausal, my skin became dry, especially on the chin and cheek area. I then decided to have microdermabrasion and I so wish I didn't. I had a bad reaction to it and whatever I put on my face, I reacted to it and my eyes would swell and parts of my skin would blister. After several trips to the Dr, many creams later and money spent, I was getting depressed and dermatology appt not until Sept. Then I saw this being advertised on Facebook. I did my research, read the reviews and I was prepared to give anything that was reasonable priced a go. Well, within 2 weeks, after trying it slowly, my skin was so much calmer, no reactions etc. I felt so much better about myself. No more hiding away from the world, as that is what I was doing. I now don't have to wear any make up to hide blemishes, still get some hormonal spots, but no where near as bad. Thank you so much!!!!

I had run out of face oil and saw your brand on social media, along with the reviews. What had I got to lose?? Perioral dermatitis was starting to return and I wasn’t keen on taking antibiotics again, plus I have also developed a mild patch of rosacea. The gifts of menopause! I used the Illuminate oil the evening I received it and I kid you not, my perioral dermatitis disappeared overnight and has not yet returned (been about 2 weeks). It has also calmed down my mild rosacea, and although not completely gone, I don’t feel the need to go to GP. On top of this my skin feels so soft and smooth. I use it twice a day as an moisturiser and a little goes a long way. I love it!! Thank you for this wonderful oil.

I have been plagued by Roscea and peri oral dermatitis since going through the menopause. I have bounced between antibiotics and other exoensive skincare with no permanent solution. Illuminate kept popping up on my feed and I was intrigued by the before and after photos. I started using the oil as a moisturiser and my skin seemed to calm immediately. I was worried the oil would be too oily but its just right. I have subsequently bought the calm butter for a bit more over night ooompfh! Also a really lovely product to use.
I am an ex aesthetic nurse and know my skincare, I have left it a few months to leave a review as I wanted to see the long term results. What a great product, thank you!

I was told about this oil by my sister-in-law having struggled with rosacea since hitting menopause around 5 years ago. I’ve literally tried SO many products, both prescription and homeopathic. Nothing has worked……until now!! I’ve been using the oil for a fortnight and have seen such a difference in both the colour and bumpiness of my skin. Gone are the pimples as well as the mix of sore and dry skin. I could not be happier! 😊

I love this product and really want to continue using it daily, hopefully they will bring out a bigger bottle that is more cost effective 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Magic in a bottle. It feels like it cares for my skin!

This product is amazing, it’s really helped my skin. I’m 48 and in the throes of perimenopause. I’ve been really struggling with dry skin patches on my face and particularly around my eyes. I use this to remove makeup and it’s fantastic. My only gripe is that the three month supply doesn’t last for three months but that may be because of how I am using it as a make up remover and a face oil. I’m still happy with the results so will carry on ordering as I have tried so many products and nothing else works!

I love this oil! Very calming on my sensitive yet combination skin. Alongside some HRT I think this has really helped calm and improve the texture and appearance of my skin and I’ve had compliments on it. A little pricey but it does go a long way, especially if applied to damp skin.

I was astounded by the reviews and was really hoping for this to work as my perioral dermatitis is getting me down. However after using the product for over two weeks my skin has got no better and in fact slightly worse. So sadly not for me.

Amazing. No need for steroid creams anymore….. gentle enough to remove eye make up. I’ve thrown my other cleansers away also. Just a life changing, natural remedy.

At 68 I have been a lifelong eczema sufferer and have extremely dry/sensitive skin, which makes me reluctant to try out new products. Moisturisers are particularly difficult but after a recent allergic reaction and flare up, I was forced into trying something different - and that was Illuminate. I’m so glad I did! Not only did the swelling reduce along with the eczema but my skin continues to improve in texture, comfort and resilience. I’m thrilled! Thank you.

My daughter has suffered with Excema since being a baby , we’ve tried absolutely everything on her over the years, at 18 she is still having flare ups especially when stressed . I bought this oil for her to try and it is amazing . She has been using it on her face and arms and her dry sore skin has healed straight up ! It’s a lovely thick oil that isn’t greasy , it feels luxurious, Iv used some on my face as a night time moisturiser and I love it for my menopausal skin. Will definitely be ordering again soon .

Amazing stuff. I’ve been experiencing menopause related eczema on my face for a while now and this oil instantly soothes and hydrates. The eczema has cleared and my rosacea is improving too. My skin hasn’t looked or felt this good in ages. Have now signed up to the subscription as I don’t want to use anything else.

Really sinks into the skin and it’s not sticky.

Loved the idea and simplicity of this product. It removed my make up well and my skin felt cleansed, however it did not moisturise my skin enough and unfortunately didn’t help to improve my eczema flare up at the time.

I have been battling with red and scaly skin on my eyelids and around my eyes for nearly 6 months and had tried all sorts of creams. This has cleared up the skin in just 1 week and my skins is smooth and shiny. Amazing stuff! On first application, it need make the skin a bit redder but after a few goes, it started to clear up. Thank you!

My daughters and I love it. It’s hydrating and not greasy. Must have for the beauty bag
