This is one of my favorite cleansers! I actually use this cleanser at the end of the day to deep cleanse my skin; it felt extremely refreshing especially after a long work day. ⁣⁣I have cystic acne so really there is no fighting that one and completely getting rid of those pesky breakouts, but with my regular skincare routine, this cleanser definitely helped balanced and calm my skin and reduce inflammation. ⁣⁣

I usually post reviews after I finished an item, but I love this product so far I wanted to share my thoughts! I received this product as a prize gift from Oak Essentials via my friend who won the main giveaway! She had the opportunity to select a friend to also win their giveaway prizes, and I am honored she picked me 🙂 ABOUT THE PRODUCT From the website "A nutrient-rich balm that supports collagen production and delivers serious hydration for a luminous glow." Key ingredients include: ✨ Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil ✨ Organic Cocoa Seed Butter ✨ Organic Coconut Oil MY EXPERIENCE I took a risk with this baby. I have acne-prone skin and can easily break out a pimple or two with select new products. This one was especially risky because it is basically like vaseline, and I am so afraid with getting some sort of acne mess or irritation. BUT, holy cannoli. This balm is MAGIC. I have been using it for a month and a half and have never experienced serious glowing and moisturization. A little goes a long way, so literally a dime-sized amount helped cover my entire face; warm it up with your hands and press into your skin. I tried this balm for both of my morning and evening skincare routines to see which one is the most effective for me; but in the end, using it in either or both routines didn't have so much of a difference so I added this balm to the end of my evening routine since I wanted to use it like a "sleeping mask." Overnight, this balm absorbed into my skin without leaving any greasy/oily residue; and even after my first few uses, I never developed a pimple or breakout which is freakin' amazing because who knew a balm could do that?! And, in the morning, I experienced glowing, moisturized, and hydrated skin. It's such a great winter skincare staple! It does have a beautiful light floral scent, but it is not overwhelming to your senses. In fact, I feel that it soothed me to sleep! And, overnight, the scent basically disappears so you're not sleeping in the smell all night long. The jar is pretty standard size (1.4 oz) but like I said above, a little goes a long way! I have been using this balm basically every single night since Nov 1 and, as you can see, I still have some way to go before it's empty! FINAL THOUGHTS I cannot get over this balm! When I am finished this one, I am definitely open to purchasing a second jar on my own. In fact, I think I am going to stop buying face oils after I finish with my current haul! I feel this did so much more for my skin than a face oil (even with just a few drops I feel like my face oils didn’t absorb nicely into my skin!) PLEASE NOTE This is what I experienced with my own skin and it may vary person to person 🤍
