Most Helpful Positive Review So far so good... and LOVE THE SMELL! So I was looking for a new face oil to work into my routine for winter. I have pretty normal skin that can get oily through the t-zone but tends to dehydrate around the eyes and top of cheeks. I will honestly say that the only reason this one caught my attention was because it had coffee oil in it - and I'm a coffee fiend! Looking at the ingredients I was very happy to see no coconut and no added fragrance! It also has sea buckthorn and rosehip oils which my skin really likes. I've been using it about 2-3 weeks, every morning and every other night. I've not had any irritation or breakouts and it has very much improved the dryness around the eye area! My one and only complaint is that it is a more medium weight oil which means that it doesn't completely soak into the skin. With that said though it sits on top of my other skincare just fine and I can put moisturizer on top of it with no problems either. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for a more medium weight oil that is hydrating and likes the smell of coffee!
Most Helpful Critical Review Mixture of Oils Yes, this is natural and organic. But read the ingredients, it is also packed with an overload of oils - rosehip oil, raspberry seed, geranium, bergamot, just to name a few. This large variety of oils contributes to the very strong smell, which is a mix of rose and citrus with the slightest hint of coffee. I personally did not find the smell pleasant and I could not use the product because of this. Beyond that, I found it to be like any other face oil in terms of consistency and display. It truly is nothing but a mish mash of oils and extracts.

Renai from USA
This stuff is the real deal. I don't even life skin care like that but this stuff makes me want to wash my face just so I can put it on. Something about the scent makes me feel like I'm getting a true Ayurvedic facial in southern India. I love this stuff truly. My acne has calmed down and the scars/pigmentation are going away after just one week use with the sensitive skin face scrub and charcoal soap.
Love it! 5
Cherry from California
I have been using this every morning and evening for several weeks now and I am IMPRESSED. I have a very oily T-zone which stays greasy year round, while other parts of my skin get dry and irritated in the winter. This product has helped nourish my skin and the most amazing part is that my T-zone is noticeably LESS greasy now!! Rather than using mattifying products that dry out my skin, this oil actually helped regulate my oil production and is the first product to EVER do so for me. It's not a light oil but absorbs well into the skin and does not leave an oily residue. Smell is strong but I'm used to it now. 10/10 would recommend and repurchase!
Amazing! 5
Tyisha from Arkansas
This serum is amazing! I've been using it for 2 weeks now and the results are the best I've ever seen in my routine. I love the smell it's an added bonus.
Perfect alone or under the moisturizer 5
vablorida from NY
I use this under the moisturizer and it works perfectly. It does not break me out and gives my skin a nice glow! I know a few complained about the smell but I think it smells nice and natural. Obviously, there is a coffee scent, so unless you really don't like coffee there is no reason to not get this! Make sure you use the right amount, otherwise it could be too oily. For a product made mostly of oils, though, it is not greasy and dries very nicely.
Just buy it!! 5
Kristina from Grayslake, IL
I have been using this for a couple of weeks now in conjunction with derma-E microdermabrasion scrub. The combination is amazing for me! I bought this oil to help with my complexion and acne scars because I read that caffeine is good for that. I have been seeing results and a reduction in redness, my over all complexion and some fading with my acne scars. It is a little oily at first but let it set for a few mins, put you lotion on, then after a fee more minutes, put in a primer and your makeup. I haven't had an issue with applying makeup or having it stay on either; it just takes some time for your skin to absorb the oil. I saw some reviews complaining about the smell, and I don't mind it at all. It's a subtle coffee smell mixed with like, orange or neroli oil. I find it quite pleasant. The bottle is a decent size, fair price and decent results so far. Use it as directed and give it a try!!!
Love the smell of coffee 5
Siu from Fullerton,CA
Goes on nicely and skin does improve after continuous use. This is my second bottle. Oh, and the smell is wonderful since I'm a coffee lover!
favorite brand 5
daisy from baltimore
i love this whole brand. i swear if this brand goes anywhere i don't know what i'm going to do. it's scaring me that it's on sale. i hope it's just for cyber monday. my skin has never been better. please, ulta, do not get rid of this brand!
Reaction and the Smell is Strong and Weird 1
Reens from New Jersey
I was really looking forward to trying this brand and serum since the reviews are really high. However, this didn't work for me. I have very sensitive/reactive skin and as soon as I put it on it felt weird and a little itchy, had to rinse it off. I am also not one that's picky about scents but the coffee smell on this is very strong and a weird coffee smell - almost like burnt coffee, it's weird. Had to return it.
Nice glow, but slightly oily 3
Leigh from Massachusetts
Provides a nice healthy glow and sheen to face, however does have an oily feel when initially applied.
Replaced my former favorite! 5
Tamara from Florida
I used to use a rosehip seed oil by a brand that Ulta stopped carrying. I thought it was my holy grail and I was upset, I started searching for other places to buy it. Then I saw this on the Ulta app and was intrigued. I love that it smells like coffee! I threw my off the first time but now I love it! I guess they reuse coffee grounds for filtration? It works perfectly for what I need it for, I put it over my face, neck, and chest for a hydrated glow. I love this so much, I'm about to buy my second bottle. And the price... my former favorite was over double the price! Buy this if you love facial oils, you won't regret it!
I have sensitive skin and this is perfect for it! 5
Lexie from Long Beach, Ca
I was very critical of this product and almost didn't get it because I've never been able to use serums before, considering my face clogs so easily. But this serum doesn't clog whatsoever, in fact it hydrates my skin so well I wake up and my skin is refreshed. I'm so happy I found something that actually seems to be bettering my skin than the opposite. Usually my skin is very picky with products but this one hands-down is the best I've used thus far.

Coffee is right. 4
Evie from Brooklyn NY
A little goes a long way, I believe 2-3 drops is enough, it does leave the skin a bit greasy, it doesn't sink in for me as much, but it is glowy, it has a very very strong coffee scent.
IN LOVE. 5
Rachel from Pennsylvania
This is the first serum I've ever purchased and thank God I did. I have extremely sensitive skin but this works perfect for me. Before, my skin was always dry and I could never wear foundation without it being flaky, even if I put on moisturizer. But after purchasing this serum, my face is always so smooth and bright and my foundation now looks amazing when I wear it. Also, this is just a bonus, but I've noticed my eyelashes have grown a little since using this. I always rub it all around my eyes and it never irritates them or burns. I'll definitely repurchase when I run out.
Works Great! 5
Jen from VT
I love this product. It is nourishing, brightens my skin, and helps with those fine lines around my eyes. I have purchased it many times.
Good for hydration and facial massage 5
Alma from Los Angeles
Really good oil
Brighter skin with less fine lines! 5
allison from Alexandria, VA
I use this product morning and night. While the smell is strong, I use fewer drops in the morning so it isn't overbearing. I've been using this consistently now for 6-7 weeks and notice that my skin is smoother, more even, and I have less fine lines. I have never used a serum before and wanted to try something with a lower price point - I am so glad that I did!
Good stuff! 5
AuBz from IL
This stuff is amazing! I love the way it makes me skin feel after and my skin is always happy the morning after using this.
Pretty great actually 5
Crystal from CA
I use this product once a day sometimes two depending on my dryness. I tend to use less on the areas where Im prone to oil on my face. I love putting this on at night and waking to rejuvenated skin. I feel like this oil brought out a youthful glow. It smells great and what makes me the most happy, I didn't break out when using it. It doesn't clog pores. My skin is highly sensitive and usually breaks out anytime I introduce something new. There was no breakout with this. When I put this on under my make up, it doesn't even clump up or make it look candy. It helps the make up melt into my skin giving it a natural look. Highly recommend.
Really gentle and nourishing. I 5
Jordan L. from Undisclosed
Really gentle and nourishing. I love the feel of the glass bottle, it's great to know that I can enjoy amazing skincare and also reduce my plastic waste. it's even a bonus that it looks and smells great! Boost of hydration that I need and my skin has never felt so soft when I touch it!
Great add on to skin care routine 5
Holly E. from Undisclosed
Smells amazing and works wonders on breakouts. I always apply it on top of the face moisturiser as advised and 4 drops only - any more and it feels too much.

Always a favourite 5
Kelsi F. from Undisclosed
Always a favourite choice for me and my partner. We love the smell, the way it makes your face feel so hydrated and revived. I'm so glad I came across UpCircle last December - the company is just amazing and their products are top quality!

Love this! 5
Vicki P. from Undisclosed
This is just gorgeous. The coffee smell is wonderful and it feels very luxurious on the skin. You only need a few drops and it sinks in beautifully. Very soothing and calming, as well as firming. I use it before bed as my skin is a weird mix of ageing and oily, and it works well. Leaves your skin super soft and it's a pleasure to use.
