Best ever

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.

A lovely light oil

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.

Perfect for my irritated skin. Love it.

Perfect for my irritated skin. Love it.

Beautiful oil

This was my second purchase for the full size bottle. The oil is beautiful and helps my skin feel soft and glow.

Great oil for dry and sensitive skin

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

Love this product and so does my skin. Thank you 🙏🏼

Brilliant product!

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!

Excellent

These are brilliant and along with the no 1 oil have made my skin look and feel wonderful. Thank you

Beautiful oil

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

Very lovely

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.

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.

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.
