Product Description
Made from such luxuriously fine carrier oils, so similar to our own skins make up that they are miraculously absorbed, leaving no oiliness whatsoever.
This beautifully rich blend of rosehip, jojoba and borage oils, generously infused with frankincense, rose geranium, palmarosa, juniper and mandarin essential oils will literally feed your skin, allowing it to breathe and feel totally rejuvenated
Balm Balm is said to be UK’s leading 100% organic skincare company and has picked up numerous awards for their products.
This 10ml ( I have 2 bottles which meant 20ml in total ) 100% natural serum which is also 100% Soil Association Certified organic, is part of my Balm Balm set purchased from Lovelula. While I used to be adverse to applying oils on my skin, I am now more open to using them.
Despite consisting of many type of oils, I hardly detect any scent but the texture is more greasy than I would like, so it is best to apply with a light hand. And because the bottle which it came with, has quite a wide opening, I tend to pour out more than necessary, without meaning to.
Personally, for my skin type, the serum works better when it is paired with the Witch Hazel toner, or used alone at night. It is too heavy for day use and takes time to sink into my skin.
Initially, my skin gets itchy when it is used after Marie Veronique Organics Treatment Mist. And when it is used before Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet, my skin turns itchy, starts to get red spots on my cheeks and forehead and "pills" ( read : tiny balls of flakes ). Applied on its own, my skin does get itchy occasionally.
Rosehip Oil, sometimes also known as Oil of Youth due to the high levels of the fatty acids ( linoleic and linolenic ) is known for its anti-aging properties. It helps to reduce the signs of ageing, especially the fine lines around the eyes (crows feet) and lines around the mouth, the drying effects of the sun and climate, as well as assisting with attenuating both accidental and surgical scars. It is also helpful in healing burns, scars and stretch marks.
It is also a good source of vitamin C, which is essential in the formation and synthesis of collagen in the skin, without which your skin would not only age prematurely, but will have terrible tone and the elasticity and suppleness would also be impaired.
However, I have read somewhere that rosehip oil is mildly phototoxic ( or photosensitive ), so it is recommended to be used during the night as it may cause dermatitis, pigmentation and even skin cancer.
Applying after the Witch Hazel toner followed by the Rosehip serum makes my skin looks beautiful and dewy-looking but I still experience flakiness on my nostrils occassionally. Skin looks plump, feels very smooth and supple and it lasts well for several days. This works only on optimal skin condition or when my skin is sufficiently hydrated for the rosehip serum to do its magic.

On poor skin condition or dehydrated skin, the rosehip serum fails to perform any miracles as I hope it will. Occasionally, I get whiteheads on my chin area which meant that the rosehip oil is too rich.
