NOW BEAUTY Squalane & Amaranth Extract Face Serum – Intensely Hydrating Facial Treatment – Advanced Formula To Lock In Moisture – Brightening And Texture-Smoothing Drops For Radiant Skin – 1 Oz

This is a wonderful face oil. It goes on so smooth, is not too greasy, and absorbs really well.This has very high quality oils including:Macadamia, Avocado, Seabuckthorne, Amaranth, and Oat Kernel along with Vitamin A and D.It also has squalane as the first ingredient which means it has a lot of squalane. Fantastic! They do not list the source of the squalane, but I would assume it is from olive oil and not shark livers (hopefully not shark livers). It would have been helpful if they listed the source of the squalane.The product is made in the USA, ya!!!Also, what is really unique about this product is it has:Diheptyl Succinate and Glycerine.These are silicon alternatives and very good for the skin, plus it doesn’t clog the pores like silicon does.This also has:Turmeric and Blue Tansy, although I don’t think there is much Blue Tansy because the color of the product is golden and not blue. You can see the beautiful golden color in the photo I’ve posted along with my review.The only thing to be aware of is this has quite a bit of synthetic perfume in it. It is a nice smelling fragrance, but it is quite strong. If you are sensitive to perfume, this might not be a product you will like. Personally, for face oil I prefer unscented or natural scents from essential oils. It is a shame they didn’t use essential oils for the scent and that is why I marked down by one star. For such other great ingredients and the price point, they really should not have included perfume in the product.I do love this face oil, but I typically won’t use it before bedtime because of the strong scent. I love having it in my gym bag and using it after I shower. It is a wonderful product!

This product comes in a nice little brown, glass bottle with an easy to use dropper built into the lid. It is an oil type of serum so as you rub it in it will have that oily feeling. However, it absorbs quickly and does not leave any oily feeling behind. It does not take many drops at all to cover the face, so if you do happen to get too much you may feel a little more oily for a couple minutes. It leaves the skin feeling nice and soft and well hydrated. I typically use lotions after my face serums, but with this one you certainly don’t need to. That being said, I do not have any problems applying lotion or makeup after using this serum. I have tried a few Now products and I have been happy with the quality of their products. I checked that this was cruelty free before ordering, but now I can’t find confirmation of that anywhere, so I may have looked at the wrong company. I feel like this stuff has worked great for my skin. It has improved the evenness of my skin tone and improved the overall appearance. My skin feels soft and well hydrated throughout the day. It also works well overnight and does not have any adverse effects on my skin. If I find out that this is cruelty free I would order it again.

This facial serum absorbs quickly. It makes my skin feel instantly smoother. I apply this after cleansing my face, and before applying a moisturizing cream. This serum works best when layered under a moisturizing lotion. It is not moisturizing enough to use on its own.
