SEABUCKWONDERS Organic Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, 0.45 Fl Oz, 13 Servings, with Omega 3, 6 & 9, Can Be Used Topically & Orally, Supports Hair, Skin & Nail Health

Just a disclaimer: I bought and use this for the purpose of skincare use. I bought this product a month or so ago and have been using it religiously every day, morning and night, in my skincare routine. I heard about it from a YouTube beauty guru who said it was good for those who are acne-prone or who have active breakouts because it calms the skin. She uses the oil from the Sibu Beauty brand but decided to go for this one because of the better reviews. I don't regret my decision. I absolutely love this product as of late for multiple reasons. The oil is moisturizing for the face but doesn't leave my combination oily skin greasy. The skin can get greasy if I use any more than 2 small drops (placed in the palm of my hand and rubbed together with the other to warm up) just as with every other oil I've tried (or in general). I also found that it definitely calms down any active breakouts. Every natural product has a pungent smell to it, and this product is not an exception. Even though I never mind stinky products, I had to get used to the smell of this one because I use Shiseido's Ibuki skincare line and Shiseido is a highly perfumed brand, and the mix of scents was overpowering. However, the scent of this oil dissipates as soon as it's absorbed into the skin, and that takes about a minute or so which I spend gently patting the oil into my skin. It does not leave an orange tint to the skin. I will mention that the dropper doesn't screw onto the bottle correctly anymore, but I believe that was my fault because I may have accidentally screwed it on too aggressively and it bent the dropper slightly to the side. All in all, this is a fantastic oil that I'll be using all year round.

This works really well for skin and hair. I think I had mites in my hair because of constant itching but now it's gone when I put a few drops in my hand with shampoo. It also adds a nice texture and thickness to my hair when mixing a few drops in conditioner. The scent isn't too pleasant but it's manageable. I also use a few drops in with my moisturizer day and night and I really can see a difference in my skin. I can't put my finger on what is different but my complexion seems to be more even toned and smooth and I think I can even see that it made these creases on cheek pads diminish considerably, which I am thrilled because I thought perhaps the creases were here to stay due to 25+ years of pulling and pressing cheeks when putting in contacts all these years. Now I'm starting to wonder if other people's reviews are correct, that rosacea and or acne is caused by the demodex mites and the subsequent bacteria and other residues...they leaves behind. The oil is very orange but I have olive skin and am very tan so the oil doesn't appear to make my face orange. I'm also taking biotin supplements so that could also be a contributing factor. I will continue to use the oil once I stop the biotin to see if I get continued results. Nonetheless the oil does stop the scalp itching and or kill demodex mites.

This is seed oil and not berry oil. It is better than berry oil because it is less orange and doesn’t stain skin or clothes. The internet has a lot of information about the benefits of seed oil vs berry oil. I definitely prefer seed oil and this is really good stuff.

I've been using it at least twice per day. I stopped using some other products since sea buckthorn oil has so many good things for skin. It's helped me to have a more simple, natural skincare. What I like about this seed oil: The consistency, the feel of it, the light scent. It is only slightly tinted. My skin is softer and looks more even toned.

Very good quality

*UPDATE (08/21/2020): The oil has gone rancid with over a half of a bottle left. Oil keeps coming out where the cap and dropper meet on the outside. Air is probably getting in through there causing it all to spoil. *UPDATE: There was a glob of what I’m hoping is solidified sea buckthorn seed oil stuck to the dropper when I went to use the product today. Ew. Hopefully it’s nothing bad but probably explains the cloudiness I had been noticing in the oil in the dropper. I don’t know what caused this, I don’t refrigerate the oil. Will follow-up with manufacturer. ******************************************************* Original: I use 2-3 small drops on my face morning and night after cleansing. It doesn’t seem to absorb as well as I’m accustomed to with seabuckthorn seed oil but maybe it’s because the summer is hot and humid and this oil appears to be richer than another brand I just switched from. I do have some breakouts from this oil. I’m hoping it’s just purging clogged pores and healing my skin rather than being the cause of it. The scent is a pungent earthy, nutty smell. Much stronger than its popular competitor. Unfortunately, the bottle arrived with dried product on it because it leaked from not being properly sealed at the dropper. However, Amazon was great with rectifying the issue.

I was disappointed in this product as I have used this product for a long time and it didn't taste or look like my previous products. It didn't have that beautiful orange color. And it tasted industrial. I was surprised.

This is exactly as it should be. You know it is pure when it doesn't taste sweet, I use topically in scrubs, lotions, anything and everything. Do your research before you buy, when applying to skin care products I try a little and keep adding as I check it on my skin, you've used it right if you don't leave your skin yellow, eventually it all absorbs anyways.
