Blue Nectar Rice Water Kojic Acid Face Serum | Plant Based Almond Serum for Even Skin Tone | for Women & Men with Rice Water & Mushroom | All Skin Types (13 Herbs,1Fl Oz)

Oh my GOD. Finally, a new favorite to replace my old moisturizer!!!This was not high on my list of products I thought would work well on my very easily unbalanced skin, but I picked it up anyways and WOW. A couple drops of this and I woke up with my skin absolutely light-shining-from-within levels of radiant. In the first few days I got a couple whiteheads here and there but those seem to have dissipated; I use a drugstore salicylic acid face wash and that took care of it. It doesn't have anything like SLS or parabens so I feel comfortable using it long-term.I usually put 3 drops on the tips of my fingers and then lightly tap/massage it on. I've also had a lot of success mixing it with other moisturizers - it doesn't always stay mixed, especially if the moisturizer is water-based, but it's not hard to re-combine them. For really dry skin, apply the face oil and add your favorite moisturizer on top to seal it in (though you probably won't need it!). In my experience it absorbs really well - give it 10-15 minutes and then you can blot it if needed. I use it at night and wake up looking amazing. My skin is hydrated, plump, super soft, and glowing. I think I'd actually look worse WITH makeup, it's that good.There is a VERY strong scent. It reminds me of an overpowering laundry detergent or cheap cologne. This scent did dissipate a little bit after the bottle had been opened. I'm not sure if it was deliberately fragranced or if that's the result of some of the ingredients. Either way it stopped bothering me after using the oil for a while, and it's more than worth it for the benefits. The dropper bottle is very convenient.The listing was briefly deleted after I first got it and I totally panicked thinking I wouldn't be able to get my hands on any more of it. I'm SO glad it's restocked now and plan to pick up at least one back-up bottle! It's more than I like to spend on a single product but I'm not letting this one slip through my fingers for sure.One review complained that it's oil-based (mostly almond and olive oils). This is stated in multiple places in the listing so I don't think it should count against the product. Oil-based products aren't inherently bad, and as someone whose skin clogs with most creams, I've often found more success with oil products - especially this one. As mentioned, it absorbs really well for me. If you do use it and wake up with oily skin, try the blotting method to remove any excess before going to bed.If you're on the fence at all, please please please give this a try. There aren't many skincare products I endorse this heavily, but this one seriously pulls its weight.

Does comes in a sealed box. It has both a manufacture date and expiration date on the package. My box was manufactured in December of 2023 and expires in November of 2026. This was made in India. I appreciate that the manufacturer has provided the ingredients in the Amazon listing and on the box. It's got a lot of natural healthy ingredients and I feel safe putting it on my body. I use this on my face after washing and before moisturizing, it's making my skin glowy and soft and does not cause any irritation or breakout.

The media could not be loaded. This product has a good combination of different oils with great properties. Now if you use it like any other serum it would make your skin too oily, so I suggest using one to two drops per use along with a lotion or cream for better absorption.It has a light scent and makes skin looking more blush and moisturized.

I was looking for a new product to lighten my darkspots. Unfortunately this is not the right product for me. The serum has a light pleasant scent but is very oily. Its not the type of oil that eventually abosrbs into your skin. It is like putting Castro oil on your skin where it kind of coats your skin with an oily sheen. I wore this to bed and was a little worried about getting the oil on my pillow. Furthermore, I would never use this product during the day as I don't want my skin to be oily as I already have naturally oily skin. This may work for you if you have dry skin. Because of this I am remaining neutral by giving it 3 stars. Unfortunately I won't be able to write a review if it works as I won't be using this product on my skin.

I did not like this product. Did not notice and helpful difference, caused extremely bad breakouts around eyes. Is easy to use. Smooths out easily. Just no noticeable positive changes.

This Blue Nectar Plant Based Almond Serum is oil based which is fine with me. I have very dry, mature skin and my face sucks up any type of hydration. It is a bit oily when first applied but then absorbs and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. It's good to use over my retinoid and before my night cream for a jolt of extra moisture. My skin has felt smoother since I started using this serum. I don't wear it during the day but could if I used it sparingly and gave it some time to absorb. I like my hyaluronic and Vitamin C serums so I don't use this every night although I could combine the serums I wanted to. This one is definitely for those with dry skin. I think normal, combination, and especially oily skin types will fins it is too heavy and possibly greasy for their skin.

The serum had a herbal scent. It came in a bottle with a dropper. I smoothed on a few drops of the serum to my face and it absorbed quickly. It didn't leave my skin feeling tacky or sticky. My skin felt soft and smooth after applying. I like that the serum didn't pill when I applied a moisturizer on top. I had a few dark spots that refuse to go away on my skin. The dark spots didn't go away after a few days of consistent use. However, it does look lighter but I am not sure if its because the amount of time I used the product or it went away naturally by itself. However, I do like the serum so I will continue to use it.

I was cautious about trying an oil-based serum but this stuff is magic! I saw results after 1 use. My skin is glowing and despite this being in an oil base, it doesn't leave my skin greasy at all. I truly love this stuff and will continue to use it.
