I love face oils and this blend from Balmonds contains skin nourishing oils Rosehip oil, Grapeseed oil and Calendula. It smells beautiful as well thanks to Lavender, Palmarosa and Roman Chamomile essential oils which also have benefits for skin.
I use it as a night treatment on damp skin. A little goes a long way, 2 drops is enough for my entire face and neck. It helps lock in moisture and leaves my skin supple and smooth.

A juicy team of berries that deliver an instant smoothness and brightness. Formulated with vitamin C-rich Nordic cloudberry and quince, this Illuminating Anti-Pigmentation Serum promotes a brighter and smoother complexion.

This serum promises to improve skin texture, brighten and smooth the skin, and reduce the appearance of pigmentation spots. Just what I need!
The consistency is light and silky and it smells like a sweet and fruity cocktail. I only managed to get 2 uses out of the sample, it leaves a smooth matte finish on the skin once it dries. I will consider trying the full size to see how it performs over time.
