The serum in oil is an interesting formulation with an oil base which doesn’t makes the skin oily or greasy and works as a light serum for the skin! I started using this serum in oil in September itself and pretty amazed with the results! I apply a few drops of the serum in oil and massage on my face and it gets easily absorbed by the skin within a matter of seconds.

Price: $27 for 28ml

Directions to Use: Apply a few drops in the palm of your hands and gently rub together to warm. Apply on the face and the neck with a gentle patting motion. Using fingertips, massage in small circular movements over forehead, cheeks, around mouth and chin area.

Packaging: I got this bottle in a dirty packaging from the US and immediately checked for the manufacturing and expiry dates to be assured that the product in not too old! Well, every thing was fine and I just had to wait for the summers to get over!

Product Color: The serum in oil is colorless as water and is a clear transparent light consistency!

Texture: The serum in oil is very light and easily absorbed by the without making the area greasy at all!

I feel that the bottle costs little much but after using and seeing the results I don’t mind the steep price! Moreover this bottle is going to last a really long while as you need just a few drops of the serum in oil for daily use and it goes a long way, probably it will last the whole winter season!

Obviously, I am not going to use it during the harsh winter season when the skin dryness is a major concern for combination skin like mine! I will surely switch to using Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil during that time which is great for keeping the skin hydrated and nourished when the mercury level drops down!

The best thing about this serum in oil is that it didn’t result in any breakouts and give a lovely radiant glow on the face! If you wish to have a baby soft skin and a visible radiance on the face than this serum in oil is worth a try!
