Where are the beautiful scents of tea tree, rosemary, and geranium as advertised? The scent does not smell like any of these. Smell was so unpleasant to me I had to wash it off my face.
This feels so light and fresh on my skin, and gives just the right amount glow without ever feeling “oily. ” I love the feel of it, all year round.
As someone who has struggled with acne (mainly cystic) for years, I was nervous to apply an oil to my face (as I grew up in the era of harsh treatments that stripped my skin). I have been using Balance for several years, and it has completely changed my skin in the best way possible. My acne is 99% gone and my skin has never felt better - and my relationship with my skin has never been better. Balance has taught me the beauty of nourishing my skin with this incredible oil vs. stripping it and treating it harshly. I used to dread my harsh skincare routine, and now I jump out of bed to apply it to my face. Balance it THE BEST!!!
Amidst a sea of harsh, drying acne treatments, this product truly stands out! While the scent is strong, its calming yet astringent quality sets it apart from your average oil. You can tell it's an "active" oil, not just an occlusive topper. It has a calming quality as well that is great for sensitive skin.
Thought this oil might be too drying, it isn't! It's perfect.
