Miracle in a tiny bottle
Wow,wow,wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. The first day that I used this, I was amazed at what it did to my skin tone. It brightened, softened, and cleared some of the blemishes on my face in just one use. I was concerned that the bottle was too small to last me a good while, but because sea buckthorn seed oil is very rich please believe this bottle is going to last you some months. Also as a black woman, I'm constantly plagued by oily skin, hyper-pigmentation and acne scars, and even though the product is oily, it did not break me out and as I mention before it actually healed some of my acne already. I put just a little on my face during the day and I put the recommended dose at night, I put it under my makeup and sunscreen. Don't worry about it being oily, your face will soak it all up, but just use a lil if you have oily skin. I love this product and I look forward to trying other formulas from this amazing seed.

I was just about to place another order for the buckthorn oil when I seen numerous complaints regarding people breaking out so I wanted to edit my initial review.
I placed another order in July 2012 and I'm not sure whats going on, but something about the oil being sent out is different from the one I placed my review about. When I used the product from the second bottle it caused me to breakout so bad I actually didn't suspect it at first because I have oily skin and it could have been anything else that I may have been using. However, when I put the oil on the breakouts like I had done before in the past it actually irritated my face and made the breakouts even more unmanageable. Shame Shame Shame on the seller for reducing the efficiency of this product just to save or make money!!! This oil works so well for the conditions stated, it's sad when you can't even get what you paid for.
