   This smells nice and light, but does absolutely nothing for my skin except keep it oily and moisturized. I apply it nightly after the Kora face mist and light moisturizer, and it just sits on my skin and by the time i wake up it’s as if it was never there. I guess my skin absorbs it, but I don’t see a difference in my skin in the slightest. Matter of fact it didn’t even help dry patches. Not worth it.

   Reading the reviews posted here,i was terrified to use this oil however im glad my skin is reacting well to it. I have been using this oil for over a month now,underneath my makeup as well as night time. No breakouts yet considering how sensitive my skin is (prone to whiteheads/closed comedones). Surprisingly enough recently i’ve been getting compliments for my complexion. And the only skincare i’m currently on right now is tret and this oil. So it must be doing some good to my skin.

   The only con is it is supppperrrrr EXPENSIVE.Like c’mon MIRANDA!

   I think the biggest selling point of this product is that it was produced by Miranda Kerr. Otherwise for a $70 oil, it’s doesn’t do much for me and I’m much happier with my $10 argan oil from Physician’s Formula. It also gave me acne which is a huge N-O from this gal.

   I really don’t write reviews often but I am so impressed with this and wanted to review this after I saw some of the negative reviews here. I’ve been using this for a few weeks and my skin is soft, clear, and glowing. I use retin a and live in Canada so my skin was super irritated and this saved my skin. I also have a history of acne and sensitive skin and this did not irritate me. I love this product!

   My skin felt like it was BURNING each and every time I put it on. It burned my decolletage when I tried applying it there. It burned whether I applied it on my skin by itself or whether I mixed it in with a moisturizer. I have no idea why… I’ve used facial oils before (many with most of the same ingredients). Horrible experience. Don’t recommend.

   And before you ask…. the effect was immediate….not a result of being in the sun. I wear sunscreen daily and was trying this out in the winter, so it’s not like I was spending my days outside sun-bathing.

   For years now I’ve been following the Kora brand via Miranda Kerr’s Instagram page and have finally gotten around to getting my hands on this. So where do I start? It’s perfect at keeping my skin lightly hydrated – I just use 2 drops on an evening as it’s too rich for me to use during the day, and I wake up to supple, softer and more glowing skin, which to be fair I kind of half-expected as the ingredients in here are fantastic as well as organic. Any acne scars are cleared up in half the usual time when using this and somehow it also seems to keep future (monthly) acne on my chin from popping up as prominently as it normally would (although I wouldn’t use this if you have teenage acne, only the odd blemish). To boot it”s also non-perfumed – yet still manages to smell great, vegan-friendly and the bottle looks so elegant and classy, yet simple.
   As you might have gathered I’m a sucker for fancy packaging but not at the expense of good quality and natural ingredients. Well this manages to combine the best of both worlds! Winner.

   I have sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin. I really tried to love this product, but I’ll using it on my body instead of my face from now on. 🙁

   It worked great the first few times, and the glow was real. It left my skin looking plump and hydrated. However, over subsequent uses, the oil broke me out, and instead of brightening my face, my skin started to dull. I tried using 2-3 drops initially, and then dropped it to just 1 drop for my entire face. Neither worked well, and my skin reacted. It’s not a terrible, major reaction, but it’s a reaction nonetheless. I started seeing both tiny bumps and full-blown pimples on my face after a week of using it.

   I did some research, and a few consumers have reported that the oil broke them out as well. The oil may be organic and free of harmful ingredients, but I don’t think it’s tested for hypoallergenic risks. If you have very sensitive skin like I do, you might want to ask for a sample or buy a smaller bottle to try out first. It’s pretty expensive, so you should invest in it only if you’re sure.

   Overall, it’s a beautiful oil, smells really amazing, and has a silky consistency that absorbs well into the skin. There are many raving reviews on it on the internet, but it didn’t work for me, unfortunately. It did help eliminate a rash on my arm though, so even though it’s marketed as a face oil, it works much better on my body.

   Not sure if the 1 star reviewer and I are referring to the same product. The oil is quite thin and has a faint rose scent. I’ve tried dozens of lotions and creams trying to get hydration and they feel suffocating on my face and usually break me out, and they’re either not hydrating enough or they’re a greasy mess. The SA at Sephora suggested an oil for me and I was a little leery about it, but after using the sample I was pleasantly surprised. This product feels weightless and moisturizing and gives my skin a nice healthy-looking texture and has not broken me out (miracle). I only need 3 drops twice a day on my face only (not my neck or décolleté) so it’s lasting well. I also bought the eye oil, since I seem to hate every eye cream I’ve ever tried (with the exception of Shideido Benefiance), and it’s very moisturizing and soothing. For me anyway…they seem to work.

    This is a thick oil with a strong smell from too many fragrant and irritating ingredients. It could have been a nice face oil without them, but instead it just feels like you’re wearing perfume on your face. No thanks ;-(
