Manuka Doctor Nourishing Face Oil with Vitamin E, Rose Hip and Avocado Oil, Spot Treatment for Glowing Skin .85 Fl Oz

I love this oil, I do mix it with my face cream and it does have a bit of a smell to it but I’ve been using it for years, used to buy at CVS and it does the job of providing extra moisture to my skin in the winter!!

love the feel and fragrance

I normally don’t use a lot of facial oils but wanted to give this a try since I have not tried manuka oil before. The scent is quite strong but for I’m not sensitive to scent. I was bummed to see the hero ingredient pretty low down on the ingredients list. The top ingredients are all common face oil carriers like sunflower, rice bran, and avocado oil. I have a 6 step facial routine and I noticed if I tried to use this over my serum it has a hard time sinking in. However I also feel like these are not occlusive oils based on my research so if your skin is dry you may need an occlusive on top. I’m going to try mixing this into one of my creams and seeing if it can boost my skin that way.

The smell was terrible. I threw it away.

The oil feels good. Texture is great. But the smell is horrible. I use this on my face and the smell doesn't disappear. I will try something else.
