Most Helpful Positive Review Balances Oily Skin This product completely changed my oily skin for the better. I am on my second bottle after taking a break & realizing I cant go without! If you have oily or combination skin, this could be a total game changer for you! Through extensive research, I learned that many people with oily skin have a deficiency in linoleic acid in their sebum. Hemp seed oil in this serum contains a high percentage of linoleic acid. This acid has a thin/light viscosity and is hydrating for the skin. When the skin has a deficiency in linoleic acid (normally made by the body), it overproduces sebum to protect the skin from being too dry (causing oily skin). A deficiency in linoleic acid makes our sebum thicker than it should be, which can cause it to clog up our pores, triggering inflammation, & thus causing breakouts. I used a couple drops of this product in the morning & night after cleansing my face & was AMAZED a couple weeks later at how it had completely transformed my skin from an oil slick into normal healthy skin that didn't need to be blotted or have makeup reapplied in a couple of hours! I also noticed fewer breakouts! Through trial & error, I learned that the product works best for me when I drop a couple drops into my palm & press them into my T-zone (my cheeks aren't oily & don't need the oil). It's also important to know that this DOES NOT replace a moisturizer! When I foolishly wasn't using a moisturizer after using this product, I found that it balanced my sebum out so much that I was developing tight, slightly dry-feeling skin. An effective moisturizer avoids this completely by protecting our skin's natural moisture barrier. (I use gel moisturizers that are also GREAT for oily skin & don't leave a greasy film). While this product may seem expensive, at only a few drops per day, this product lasts me a few months, & saves me money by not having to reapply makeup all the time! Highly recommend!
Most Helpful Critical Review Irritated My Skin I have been trying this product for over two and a half weeks and I am finally deciding to return it. I wanted to give this facial serum a good shot before deciding how I felt about it. I have combination skin, sensitive/oily. From the reviews and the product description I thought this would be a great facial serum for me to try, but it has now started giving me bumps on my cheeks and when I used it last night my face was burning for quite a while and my face has become itchy. I notice for me personally that when I try a new product I have to give it at least two weeks to see if it'll break me out or not because a lot of the times I'll try a product and initially love it but then as I use it more and more it can become irritating. I'll start to get bumps or rashes on my face and that is exactly what happened with this facial serum. What I did like about this serum was it did leave my face feeling softer and my complexion for the first two weeks was looking really good, but at the end of the day I think this serum is just too heavy and oily for me. I would apply this once a day and it would never sink into my face or absorb. It would just sit on top of my face for hours and hours leaving me to feel uncomfortable as if you want to put this on before bedtime it's uncomfortable to lay on your pillow case with your face oily and worrying about dirt or hair sticking to your face and then breaking you out even more. Even when I would put this on in the morning it would never dry down and my face would still be oily by the end of the day. Personally I can't stand products that never absorb and just leave my face feeling slick and oily feeling, so for me this did not work with my skin, but it might work for people who have dry skin or less sensitive skin.
Reviewed by 71 customers Great for balancing out my skin! 5
Freckle Face from Ohio
Used to balance out the oil on my skin, like another reviewer commented. Also love that the bottle is glass and can be reused! The dropper doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the bottle, but I find a way to get all of the product out, because it's a life saver!
Holy grail for dry skin 5
Taylor from Philadelphia
I have very dry skin and this product has become my holy grail. My skin feels so soft even after just applying but after using it every night for a week my skin feels soft, acne free and it isn't as red as it used to be. I literally look forward to putting it on before bed every night
Like it!! 5
First Lady from Dallas Texas
Leaves my skin so soft. Getting for my daughter!!
Why did you change the formula?? 2
Holly from California
The ingredients used to all be organic pure oil and no water or glycerin and now it's all cheap substitutes and preservatives! There are almost triple the ingredients on the list than the original formula. I loved the natural formula and I'm so bummed they sold out like that :(
Great for maskne 5
Srose from Spokane
I was dealing with pretty bad chin breakouts due to wearing a mask all day. I started using this serum daily and it completely helped clear up my skin! I also paired it with the anti-acne jelly mask which was very nice as well.
Decent Oil for Gua Sha 4
Liv from Colorado
I use this oil with a gua sha and it works great. It's very moisturizing and a little goes a long way.
Great for my skin type 5
Maddy from Az
I love this product. I have very dry skin and find that this helps right when I get out of the shower. It really softens my skin, making my face feel so smooth, I even use this on places I shave. Only use a few drops, a little will take you a long way!
I never leave reviews but... 5
Erika from Vancouver Washington
This is so great for anyone with dry eczema prone skin that's sensitive. This heals dry flaky spots in SECONDS. 100% recommend buying I paid this with the ordinary moisturizer and it works great for me:)
A wonderful and pleasant surprise 5
Linds from Las Vegas
I bought this originally for my boyfriend, but he doesn't stay consistent with his skincare so I adopted this into my routine so it didn't go to waste.
I didn't not expect to love this like I do. I see a different in my breakouts when I use this. Almost like it helps heal them. They disappear quicker, and the damage left over faded with this. I only use it at night, and my skin in the morning looks unbelievable. As in, I cannot believe my skin looks like this right now unbelievable.
Highly recommend if your skin is the kind to tolerate hemp products.
Amazing... 5
Nae85 from Kentucky
I've tried many brands for my acne prone skin and hyperpigmentation.. Nothing worked like it states! Fell in love with this serum. It works!! My skin is softer, firmer, and calms the redness.
good but not great 3
lexi pauline from chicago
i use this for gua sha and after my moisturizer to lock it in. the texture is odd and there is better face oils you can get for $25 or cheaper. doesn't really do much. love the packaging tho.
Was not a fan of this 2
Tina from San Fernando, CA
After 3 minutes of applying, my face got really dry and flaky
High quality! Better than some of my prestige oils! 5
Snazzlee from Tulsa, OK
I cleanse, tone my face. Add a few drops of this lovely oil to my face. I finish with layering my eye & face moisturizer.
Magic serum 5
Sunny from Huntington beach
This magical oil is everything I been searching for! In regards to, absorbs in easily but still leaves a slight few without feeling tacky at all! Doesn't smell, great glass packaging and ultimately calms my sensitive, dry skin and it's been 2 weeks I use it day and night. So far my skin has evened out, doesn't cause congestion and keeps my skin bouncy and brightened 👌
Not so good 1
Isa from Peoria
I really wanted to like this oil because my face is pretty dry but it just was not good. It really did nothing for my face, the oil felt like it just sat on top not really soaked in or anything. Its honestly not worth your buck.
Amazing ! 5
Krysta from New Jersey
So moisturizing and a little lasts you forever ! I love the consistency too. It's not too watery like most serums
A little goes a long way 5
Mag90 from Iowa
Have only used this product a little over 2 weeks but I can already tell a change in my skin. It's softer, smoother and have had way less break outs. Helping my maskne big time. Almost always have something new at the end of each day and this week have hardly had any new zits. The best part is you don't need to use a ton as you still use moisturizer to follow but it makes all of your products go further and seems they absorb into my skin easier. Also my makeup goes on smoother and lasts longer. Overall very happy I decided to try this product.
Awesome! 5
Pixie from Sevierville TN
Love this stuff and the Truly company! I started to get an eczema flare up on my face and under my eyes. I started using this serum and it was so soothing. The texture of my skin has improved so much. Thanks Truly!
good for dry sensitive skin! 4
juju from pa
helped my sever dry skin this winter will absolutely buy again!
AMAZING 5
az from united states
i've been using this for a short amount of time after buying it because i was looking to try something new. i have very sensitive skin and it is always red. i don't have severe acne but i do have some scaring and breakouts here and there. this is doing such an amazing job of helping my redness and reducing breakouts. i only use dove bar soap to cleanse my face and then use this after both in the morning and night. i am very pleased with this
Wow!! 5
Skylar from Oklahoma
I am so glad I gave this product a chance! I have oily acne prone skin & this works really nice for my skin. I have been looking for a night time serum & this one is great! Hydrated my skin without making it oily. This oil is kind of a dry oil if that makes sense. Has not made me break out, a great addition to my skincare routine. Cant wait to try more products from this brand!!
Not a fan 2
Sahara desert from New york
No matter how much you rub, it never absorbs in. Leaves you oily and provides no moisture. I have super dry skin and this isn't the answer. I wanted to love it so badly but I returned it after a week. I don't recommend it.
extraordinary oil!! 5
Immediateglamour from algonquin Il
i have tried so many face oils that do not absorb or clog.
Truly's oils soak into the skin quickly and bring your moisturizer to a deeper level.
i am on my third bottle!!
Heaven in a bottle 5
Stephanie from Delaware
I'm 30 and been on a continuous face care routine chase my whole life. Whatever I find is either too drying or too oily both just tearing up my skin worse. This has fixed my skin in one week. I put it on once a night after the 24 k gold cbd mask by truly. Maybe the combination of both fixed my skin? All I know is my dry spots are gone, my acne scars are fading, my skin looks soft, healthy and hydrated. I also know I'm buying more truly products after my experience with this. Starting with the entire CBD skincare line.
Hard pass 1
Bribo90 from Ohio
The product is good but the stopper doesn't go all the way down so I have to work to get the product out. At this price point, I shouldn't have to struggle. Truly also won't do anything about that because I purchased it at Ulta. Not a stand up company but I suppose I should have figured from past controversial issues with them.
