The Ultimate Face Oil- Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum
Good Afternoon Everyone! I am hoping everyone is excited for the weekend ahead. I am!
Today I want to share a review of one of my beloved products- Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum. I have been using this for the past 4 months and can honestly say, YES, it is worth the $$$.
Face Oils have been a game changer for my skin! I have been playing around with all sorts of face oils for the past two years and Vintner's was one of those that I had on my wish list for quite some time before pulling the trigger and plunking down my hard earned cash.
First, let's go ahead and talk about the price.... yes, this little guy is pricey! $185.00 for 30ml. I know that is a lot but this serum is liquid gold in my eyes. It has been worth every little penny and has eliminated some steps in my skincare routine. I actually think I may be saving $$... okay... that might be a stretch but my skin loves this and I have seen great results in the time that I have been using it.
So what is it?:
Active Botanical Serum is a 100% active face oil, strategically formulated to have the multi-correctional activity and penetration of a super-powered serum. Made from the world’s most nutrient rich botanicals and essential oils, it is a skincare game changer that restores skin’s balance, texture and natural radiance.
The serum is 100% organic or wildcrafted and formulated without added sulphates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, PEGs, and SLSs.

How do I use it?
So this serum has replaced a few of my serums and even a moisturizer, at least during the spring and the summer months.
After I cleanse and tone my face, I add 4 drops of this goodness in the palm of my hands and then activate it by warming up between my palms. Then it is time to PUSH and PRESS. This is a little different than my usual instinct to massage into my face. I place my hands on my face and push the liquid gold into the skin. Push. Press. Push. Press. I immediately get a little GLOW going on by this process. I then let this sink into my skin for a few minutes before deciding whether I need any additional moisturizer or not. I follow with SPF.
Another tip is that I add a tiny drop to my daily foundation. Oh lordy, this just makes your foundation slip right on and again gives your skin a healthy glow!! It helps your base sink into your skin and looks more natural. I am someone who LOVES makeup and like to even out my skin with a little foundation each day. This works wonders with the Hourglass Vanish Foundation Stick. (I have another post coming up about my favorite make-up products and this is one of them!)
Would you purchase again? YES! My bottle is getting low and I will be repurchasing. I admit that I have my eye on a few other face oils.... always on the hunt... BUT this stuff works and know I will regret not having it in my arsenal. So staying strong and sticking with it!
If you have been on the fence about purchasing Vitner's, go ahead and take the plunge! You will not regret it and there is a reason that it has a cult following. IT WORKS!!
My skin is clearer and smoother and has that healthy GLOW that I so desire!! Doesn't everyone?
Okay, I am off to work but I hope you have an amazing weekend!
