This has worked better on my very dry and fragile hair than any hair care product that I have tried, and so I will continue to buy some of the less expensive oils discussed here for use on my hair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I also have found that some of these oils work well for me if I mix them with lotion and then apply them to the skin on my body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The performance ratings refer to my experiences with the products only on my face and neck though.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

Your skin vibrates in perfect harmony.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This is one of my favorite facial oils and I have gone through a couple of small bottles of it so far.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The oil has a scent that I invariably find to be really wonderful and my skin seems to really like it when I use the oil on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although this product does have a quite strong floral-type scent (including quite a lot of jasmine), the ingredients list suggests that these are from extracts rather than essential oils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I have not found this product to be irritating to my skin at all, but it certainly may not be appropriate for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A good thing about the product is that it seems to take very little of it to have a big effect on my skin. Just one or two drops mixed into other skincare (such as a hydrosol, serum or moisturizer) seems to make a big difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">While lavender and rose oil seem to be generally okay for me, it could be just that I am a slightly allergic to chamomile (which is a relative of ragweed).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Considering that this product is priced very reasonably, I also am wondering about whether contamination of the ingredients with something problematic might be an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

It is especially effective when combined with our Facial Tonic Hydrosols, bringing vitality, suppleness to dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin. Known as rosa rubiginosa or rosa mosqueta, this silky oil of the rose hip seed has been used for centuries to treat sun-damaged, scarred or burned skin. Rosehip seed oil is rich in the naturally occurring pro-vitamin A and vitamin C. It has considerable amounts of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (EFA) containing 80% gamma linolenic acid and linoleic acid. As a result it significantly regenerates and strengthens cell membranes aiding in the prevention of early signs of aging. With daily use, Rosehip Treatment Facial Serum works to fade hyperpigmentation (brown spots), minimize and soften the appearance of scars, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It also soothes dry, sunburned and sun-damaged skin. This Serum helps to balance excessively oily\u00a0 or dry skin, minimize the appearance of large pores, and purify impure skin prone to pimples. Used on a consistent basis, your skin will look smoother, fresher and more supple.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This facial oil is available in two versions, both of which contain rosa canina, jojoba and carrot seed oils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Blue version is said to be appropriate for sensitive, reactive, scarred and blemished skin. It contains lavender, blue chamomile, and helichrysum essential oils.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Rose version is said to be appropriate for dry, oily and combination skin.

font-size: 14pt;\">I also am not a terribly big fan of rosa canina oil and have my doubts about the appropriateness of these essential oils in skincare products, at least for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Probably as a result of all of this, I did not find that I liked either of these oils very much and would not purchase them again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

It\u2019s clinically proven to help diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, improve skin firmness, smooth skin texture, and increase glow, as well as soften, nourish, and moisturize. Made with nine powerful nutrient-dense oils (including the retinol alternative bakuchiol, vitamin-A-rich cacay, and organic amla, a vitamin C superfood), it\u2019s a restorative daily treatment with real results. Smooth two to four drops evenly over your face morning and night. You can also use it on your neck and d\u00e9colletage (we also love a little on the backs of our hands).&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This face oil contains a large number of botanicals and has an unusual smell that feels vaguely reminiscent of eating curry in an Indian restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">While this is not the scent that I would choose for my skincare, my skin does seem to really like this oil and to do well with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The product contains a number of fairly unusual oils, with caryodendron orinocense (the fruit of an evergreen tree from South America) as the first ingredient. I do really like the texture of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">While I don&#8217;t know how much this product has helped with my wrinkles, it does at least seem to make my skin feel softer and more radiant when I am using it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I generally use this product only at night and feel that it sinks into my skin quickly without leaving much of an oily residue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although it contains several citrus essential oils, I have not found it to irritate my skin at all. Especially since it does not smell to me at all like citrus, I&#8217;m wondering if the amounts used are very small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It&#8217;s an expensive product, but even a small bottle seems likely to last for a very long time considering how little of the product is used per day. I have just a trial-size bottle and have hardly made a dent in it despite a good bit of use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I conceivably might consider buying it again, eventually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

Use as a spot treatment or all over.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This highly processed moisturizer from Jones Road is dispensed in stick form and seems designed largely for people to be able to get some easily absorbed moisture when on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The product consists primarily of synthetic fatty alcohols and synthetic gelling agents, along with some highly processed ingredients originally derived from coconut oil. Small amounts of apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil and sunflower oil also are included.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">All of the synthetic moisturizers and gelling agents in the formula seem to be accepted as being okay by a variety of sources. EWG does not express concern about them and Credo sells the Oil Stick on its website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">EWG does express some concerns about the phenoxyethanol (a synthetic preservative) and some of the other naturally derived processed ingredients (used primarily as preservatives and for their scent).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The product seems to have a very high viscosity, meaning that it feels very thin\/slippery and absorbs pretty readily into the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although I haven&#8217;t felt that inclined to use this product very often, it hasn&#8217;t noticeably irritated my skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, although the product does have a slight citrusy-floral scent, I have found the smell to be much milder than I would have expected based on looking at the ingredients list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">The description of this product reads, &#8220;Marie Veronique Rejuvenating Night Oil contains a rich blend of omega 3 + 6 EFAs that are excellent for repairing and replenishing barrier function to dehydrated skin. Blackberry seed oil is high in natural Vitamin C as well as several types of Vitamin E and lutein making it an excellent ingredient for repairing damaged skin. This non-toxic facial oil increases epidermal health, overall elasticity and barrier integrity by regulating cell turnover rate, and reduces moisture loss which contributes to dry, aging skin.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This product contains a variety of high-quality oils, including jojoba, grapeseed, apricot kernel, meadowfoam, argan kernel, borage seed, rosa canina, marula, evening primrose, black raspberry, blackberry, cranberry, kiwi, sea buckthorn, carrot seed, and marine algae.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">Although I feel like this is a very high-quality oil with the potential of being beneficial for my skin, I am not able to use it on my face due to the essential oils (probably especially the rose geranium) being mildly irritating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I finally decided to use this oil just on my hands and neck, which has worked out a little better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Still, I suspect that eventually I am going to end up using it in my hair, just so that it doesn&#8217;t totally go to waste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">While Marie Veronique does offer a couple of unscented facial oils that I do like without reservation, I wish they would make an unscented version of this one since it is more reasonably priced and appropriate for a variety of skin types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">The description of this product reads, &#8220;This extraordinary vegan facial oil appears in the bottle as a blood red, in the dropper as a soft blush, and on the skin as entirely colorless.\u00a0Thorn Oil is absolutely beautiful on its own, but its interplay with the skin is even more extraordinary. We have formulated this face priming oil from opulent, skin-loving ingredients to impart moisture and glow without leaving shine after absorption. As a makeup priming oil, it creates the perfect base for full-face application of any of our products. On makeup-free days, it draws out a lit-from-within radiance and beautifully healthy finish from your skin unlike anything else; the effect is plumped, luminous\u2014almost like you\u2019re wearing the most perfect subtle highlighter for your complexion after a long, restful night of sleep.\u00a0Named for the thorns of a rose, Thorn Oil Priming Facial Elixir is blended from two parts of the plant\u2014the blossom and the fruit\u2014along with carefully selected, perfectly balanced, luxuriant organic ingredients.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This face oil is fairly thick and reddish in color, with a distinct rose scent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The main ingredients are marula oil, rosa canina fruit oil, jojoba oil, and caprylic\/capric triglyceride (typically derived from coconuts).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I feel that (apart from the scent and the added color) this product is fairly similar to the Drunk Elephant marula oil, except that this one quickly dries down to a finish that feels to me slightly waxy rather than slightly oily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I suppose that this is due to the addition of the acacia gum and maybe some of the other added ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I do like this product and can see that it could be a good base for oil-based cosmetics, such as Rituel de Fille&#8217;s new foundation serum as well as their concealers, blushes and highlighters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A couple of the ingredients in the formula &#8211; including the rose oil and the citric acid &#8211; seem to be used as preservatives and may be problematic for some sensitive people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In response to my query about the citric acid, a representative for the company wrote to me the following: &#8220;The citric acid in our Thorn Oil formula is a stabilizer for red radish root and purple sweet potato extracts, accounting for about 4% of those specific ingredients. Our supplier has shared with us that this citric acid is made from the fermentation of corn. However, this citric acid is manufactured neither from nor by GMOs and has a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of GMs.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although I do find the rose scent of this product to be unexpectedly strong, my skin seems to do fine with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I think that this has worked well for me under foundation (especially oil-based ones) as well as on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Size:<\/strong> 1 oz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Rituel de Fille Rating:<\/strong> 4.8 Stars (70 reviews)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Credo Clean:<\/strong> Yes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Clean at Sephora:<\/strong> Meets Criteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Drunk Elephant Clean:<\/strong> No<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EU Compliant:\u00a0<\/strong>Meets Criteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Ingredient Rating:<\/strong> 3 (yellow)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Problem Ingredients:<\/strong> Rosa canina fruit oil (3), Rosa damascena essential oil (3), Acacia senegal gum (3).

Balances and protects skin, improves texture, preps for makeup, and delivers rich, radiant hydration.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This facial oil from RMS contains only quality organic or wildcrafted oils (including jojoba, rose hips, buriti and tamanu seed) and an ayurevedic blend of herbs that are thought to have skincare benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It also contains a good bit of organic vanilla extract, which is apparently used to try to soften the smell of the herbs being used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Nonetheless, virtually all of the criticisms of the product in user reviews seem to be related just to the smell of the product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I think that the turmeric (which I don&#8217;t really like that much even in food) makes it smell a little like curry, but with the country sarsaparilla root and vanilla giving it a sweeter scent as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I am usually not all that sensitive to natural scents, but I will say that this product does smell rather unusual and that this has tended to put me off from reaching for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">However, when I have made an effort to use the product on a regular basis for a while, the smell has started to annoy me less and my skin has started to look especially nice as a result of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Upon reflection, I think that this oil does work quite well considering the comparably moderate price point and that the lack of essential oils or other potentially irritating ingredients is an additional benefit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It may be worth considering for some people, therefore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Size:<\/strong> 0.5 oz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

Formulated with jojoba, and sea buckthorn oils, this facial serum hydrates and nourishes skin, while Vitamin C and antioxidant rich coffee and rosehip oil help to increase brightness and improve uneven skin tone. This oil based serum can also be used on hair or beards to soften strands and keep the skin beneath nourished and healthy. This organic serum uses essential oils to provide a scent of geranium, rose and lemon.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This seems to be the most popular product from UpCircle, which is an English company with a mission of using leftover natural ingredients (such as coffee grounds, brewed chai tea spices or argan nut shells) in their beauty products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I was initially attracted to this product due to the large number of positive reviews on Credo and also because of my hope that the coffee oil in the product might help to address facial puffiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Whether the product is even supposed to address puffiness issues, I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I personally feel that some of the eye creams that I have tried &#8211; such as the 100% Pure Coffee Bean one &#8211; have done much more for my facial puffiness than this product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The relatively low price of the product is explained by the first two ingredients being organic sunflower and safflower oils. I consider these to be relatively clean but not necessarily optimal for skincare use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A number of other oils that often are used in other high-quality products &#8211; including jojoba, sea buckthorn, rosehip and raspberry seed &#8211; also are included.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The product contains a number of essential oils and other ingredients that give the product a floral-citrus type scent and presumably also act as preservatives. I think that I can smell coffee as well, but that scent is not overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I&#8217;ve found the product to be slightly irritating to my face, presumably due to the use of the citrus essential oils and other processed natural fragrances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">The Vintner&#8217;s Daughter website states about this product, &#8220;The Winningest Face Oil, Active Botanical Serum is a category-defining face oil, formulated with 22 of the world\u2019s most nutrient-rich botanicals for nourishing and restorative moisture. At the heart of this performance-driven serum is our signature Phyto Radiance Infusion, a 21-day process which begins with whole plants and, over the course of three weeks, gently infuses their powerful nutrients into our formula. Added to this infusion is a strategic group of botanical and essential oils to amplify performance and effectively address a broad range of skin concerns.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This expensive face oil has received a fair amount of media attention and general buzz over the past few years, in large part as a result of some celebrities and beauty professionals acknowledging their use of the product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The moisturizing oils included in it are grapeseed, hazelnut, avocado, carrot seed, evening primrose, tamanu and sunflower seed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The product also includes a number of essential oils, including (rather astoundingly) lemon peel oil as the third ingredient. Other essential oils used are lavender, rose, neroli, bergamot, cypress, and jasmine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Additional botanical ingredients include marigold, alfalfa, dandelion, nettle, sea buckthorn, turmeric and rosemary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">While I liked the scent of this product, my personal experience with it seems to have been rather disastrous for my skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">My face appeared to be mostly okay with it the first time or two that I used it, but then became increasingly red and irritated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I used the product a half a dozen times at most, applying it according to the instructions. Eventually, after my face was such a mess that it was reacting to other products that I had previously used without incident, I gave up on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Following the discontinuation of my product usage, I had a fair amount of skin peel off my face (to the point that my previous light suntan disappeared).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">My skin remained irritable for several weeks, until I used some products (including ozonated coconut oil, hypochlorous acid, and probiotic sprays) that are supposed to help the microbiome of the face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although my skin eventually recovered from the event, I don&#8217;t think it ever looked any better than it did before I tried this product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I am guessing that the large amount of lemon peel oil in the Vintner&#8217;s Daughter product was especially damaging to the microbiome of my face and to my skin barrier, but some of the many other ingredients in the formula could have been an issue too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I am interested to read the Vintner&#8217;s Daughter description on the Violet Gray website (dubbed &#8220;The Industry&#8217;s Beauty Edit&#8221;), since it calls the product &#8220;a transformative anti-aging skin care treatment that promotes cell turnover and elasticity, and inhibits melanin production for luminous, clear skin.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This sounds to me like it is suggesting that this product is not just offering the moisturizing and nourishing benefits of the other face oils that I have tried, but also may be providing benefits similar to those attributed to retinol or hydroxy acids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That makes me think of one story that I heard from a younger beauty influencer who said that she thought that Vintner&#8217;s Daughter had been very helpful for her severe acne, but that the prescription retinol that she used a bit later on was even more helpful for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Since retinoids and hydroxy acids are accepted as being helpful for both acne and for aging issues, then perhaps the Vintner&#8217;s Daughter has generated positive word-of-mouth as a result of having a similar effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I don&#8217;t have any problem with that, if indeed that is the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">However, I personally have been very cautious with regard to using products like hydroxy acids or retinoids since I knose those can be severely irritating to those with sensitive skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If I had realized that Vintner&#8217;s Daughter might be &#8220;promoting cell turnover&#8221; in a similar way, then I would have been much more careful with it or not purchased it at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So I think that kind of information should be featured on the company website and also that user reviews should be featured on the site so that those considering the product can have a better idea of what to expect from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(The Nordstrom and Beautylish sites do feature reviews that I would have done well to have read before using the product.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I also think it is problematic that the Vintner&#8217;s Daughter website does not seem to allow returns of opened product under any circumstances, even when people have an adverse reaction to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Some Vintner&#8217;s Daughter retailers do allow returns of gently used products that have not worked out, and so I would suggest that those wanting to try this product consider confirming these retailers&#8217; policies regarding whether they can get a refund or store credit if they have a bad reaction to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For those who just want to try a small amount of this product to see if they can tolerate it, <a href=\"https:\/\/aylabeauty.com\/products\/custom-sample-service-2#productDetailDescription\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ayla<\/strong><\/a> offers custom samples for a nominal charge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;
