Weakest points
Takes a while to absorb.
Summary
Compared to other products on the market this compares well to high-end ones and is much cheaper.
I use this before my night moisturiser and I don't mind that it doesn't absorb very easily - others might.
It has the lovely Vitamin E scent, which I really like. It also comes with a pipette, so it is easy to get the right amount. My complaints about the packaging would be that it is a glass bottle so it isn't so practical for travel. It is coloured and opaque too, so you cannot see how much is left.
I think ultimately I would repurchase the facial oil instead as I can use that in the mornings too and also gives really good results.

- Oryza sativa (Rice Bran) Oil: This oil is deeply hydrating and can nourish the skin from the inside out. It is also said to lend anti-aging protection to the skin to neutralize the effects of free radicals and delay the onset of signs of aging in the skin.
- Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil: This oil contains all the ingredients needed to heal and moisturize dull and dry skin. It can also help promote the production of healthy collagen in the body and even out the skin tone.
