A great multipurpose product

A great multipurpose product. I introduced this into my routine after using the oil for a bit. It's a lovely butter and you don't need much either!

Lovely Product

I have found my skin has calmed massively since using this for over a week or so now. I get less pesky white heads and my skin seems to like the less ingredients approach.

Excellent company

I have been amazed at how quickly.my skin has calmed and feels better than ever. I have had some skin changes during perimenopause and this brand has been wonderful. I am now using all the products everyday and can see a visible difference. My skin is glowing.

Wow Incredible!

I purchased the mini set to try after struggling badly with perioral dermatitis, and I honestly can’t believe the difference it’s made to my skin. Within a short time my PD completely cleared up, and my skin now feels calm, healthy, and balanced again.

The Illuminate oil is absolutely gorgeous, it feels so nourishing and soothing on the skin without any fragrance or irritation. It instantly calms my skin and leaves it feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable rather than greasy.

I also used the Glow Face Scrub twice a week and was so impressed with how gentle it was. It exfoliates without feeling harsh or abrasive at all, which is rare when your skin barrier is compromised or sensitive.

I haven’t actually used the Calm Butter yet, but after seeing the results from the other two products I’ll definitely be giving it a try. I genuinely can’t recommend this range enough and I’m now purchasing the full sizes because my skin is completely clear.

Jillian, this genuinely made us emotional! PD can be so stubborn and distressing, so to hear your skin has completely cleared up means the world to us. And the fact you're going back for full sizes? Best news. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Lovely oil that works to reduce inflammation

Lovely oil, efficient ordering and payment service. I now have ordered the illuminate oil again and again

Eczema Improvement

Have used Illuminate One oil for a week day and night and nothing else on my eyebrow and eyelid and see an improvement. Still slightly red but not itchy. Will definitely keep using it. It's the only thing that has helped so thank you Anita

Amazing products

I came across these products when searching online for something to heal my eczema, tried many other creams etc. They have helped me so much, taking the redness away and relief from itching. Also appreciate the help Anita gave me via the online chat.
I will be ordering more from them.

Great communication !

I have already written a review for Illuminate oil which is a lifesaver for me! After suffering with excema all my life - especially around my eyes this oil has transformed my skin.
I therefore rely on it to keep my skin calm - Unfortunately my last subscription bottle didn’t arrive and had been delivered to the wrong address … I emailed Apothecary to tell them and within a couple of hours Anita was sorting out the issue. The communication has been second to none and my problem is resolved.
Great product , great company ! Thankyou!

Thank you so much for this - I'm just glad we could sort that delivery mishap quickly – the last thing you need when you're relying on something is to be left without it. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and here's to no more wrong-addresses!

Sadly no luck 😔

I read all the reviews and had such high hopes that this would work for me, sadly I've been using now for over a month and my skin is not much better and some days is worse. I kept positive about this product and will still use in hope things might change.
My skin problems are due to taking Hydroxycarbamide for blood cancer.

I'm 59 and have been using the No1 oil for a while now, I am on my 3rd bottle. I have used every product under the sun and they all fail somewhere along the line I use the No1 oil to take off my make up, including eye make up and as a moisturiser as I have boughts of perioral dermatitis. The dermatitis is now pretty much gone, which is fabulous. It is not a quick fix as it takes time for skin to heal. I have always had problems with eye makeup and eye makeup removers due to blepharitis. I no longer wake up with crusty itchy red eyes, this has been a wonderful surprise as I hadn't seen anything on line about it helping with blepharitis. My experience of this product has been fantastic. I am so glad I found you. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Soothing and calming, as advertised.

Loving this product. It's been magic - soothing and calming sudden onset eczema around my eyes. I don't promote products often but this really does help relieve irritated skin.

Skin rashes

I bought some cream and it’s absolutely amazing. I suffer with nervous eczema and it soothes the skin straight away .

Wonderful product

I have been using the No1 Illuminate 3 in 1 face oil for a couple of months now and am very impressed with the results. This product provides immediate, soothing relief to dry, irritated, sensitive skin, and leaves skin feeling moisturised and soft. Thank you!

No,1 Illuminate Oil

Best Oil I have ever used on my face, bought off amazon but will be purchasing from here from now on. Have extreme allergies / eczema, dry sore skin all over my face, eyes, neck, lips, constantly flakey skin and it has calmed and soothes my skin, doesn't burn and everything burns me !

Calm Butter - A beautiful butter.

Multiple uses, especially in the wintertime. I am on my 2nd pot and use it for face + eye cream, body, hands and lips, a lovely moisturiser.

Illuminate oil

Had red, dry flaky patches around my eyes and nose that could not heal even using steroids and various creams. Chanced finding this illuminate oil and within a few days the dryness, redness, flakiness all went! Also seems to calm any itchiness on my face - when I feel itchiness I dab a few drops straight away and the urge to scratch disappears, when normally I would be scratching my face off!
So glad to have found this product - thank you!!

Excellent for super sensitive skin!

I’ve suffered with sensitive skin and rosacea for 21 years. I’ve struggled to find a product that doesn’t cause a flare up! I’ve tried many products, too many to mention, the illuminating oil is the only product that has calmed and moisturised my skin .

Thank you for sharing! We're thrilled to hear our illuminating oil has brought relief to your sensitive skin and rosacea. Your happiness is what drives us!

Great response

I have supremely sensitive skin and a tendency to sensitise to new products after an initial honeymoon period. Been using the oil for a few weeks and the dry patches are much better and my foundation isn't flaking off at the end of the working day. Wish it was less expensive - could do with it on my hands as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that our oil has helped improve your dry patches and maintain your foundation throughout the day. As a top tip, try rubbing any excess oil when you moisturise your skin into your hands for added hydration.

I’m recovering from a nasty eczema flare on my face and was looking for a natural moisturiser and cleanser. I’m finding that this one is quite irritating on the patches of skin which are still affected by the flare, but not on the healed areas. I’m hopeful that this will be a good product for me when my face is fully healed. It has a nice texture — not too oily — and is an effective cleanser for makeup.

So far so good. I’m in my 50’s and have suffered on and off with dry skin and facial eczema my whole life. I’m always nervous about trying new products having spent a fortune over the years on products that don’t work or make my skin react. I can never put products around my eyes as they just become red and sore. The illuminate face oil feels lovely on my skin and for the first time ever has given it a dewy look and my eyes haven’t reacted. My skin now feels comfortable instead of dry and tight. I will definitely be ordering again. I’m so glad I came across your insta page

Magic Oil

I purchased the 10ml oil and scrub duo as the tester was out of stock & I was a bit hesitant this wouldn't do anything like many other products I have tried! Within 2 days my super dry eczema skin had settled and the redness calms down almost instantly after applying. my face has a slight glow to it now! Not only is the oil great Anita took time to message me and give me lots of tips and information! Thank you Anita 😊 I have just purchased the starter kit and will buy another oil soon as I dont want to be without it!

We're thrilled to have made a positive difference for your skin! Thank you for choosing us to care for your skin.

I have been using the 3 in 1 facial oil for way over a year now and my skin has never felt and looked better. I even use it on my scalp and hands too!

The best skincare I have ever bought. The owner really knows her stuff with what she recommended and my skin has never felt better (I use it as a cleanser and a moisturiser too which is great as I have less bottles on my shelf). Its all natural too which I love

With gratitude,

Anita
