Pangea OrganicsNatural Bakuchiol + Squalane Super Antioxidant Glow Oil | Vegan, Non-Toxic, Sustainable Clean Beauty (Glass Bottle, 1 fl oz | 30 ml)

This oil is the best

I had expected this glow oil to feel something like a serum, but I was very wrong. This is an OIL, and is very thick. It comes out of the pump okay, but I had a hard time spreading it very far on my face, so it felt like I was putting a very thick, dense layer of oil on specific places on my face. It does exactly what it claims to--it definitely makes your skin shiny and dewy looking, and I was very grateful to see that it does not seem to have caused any breakouts despite how oily it felt--so I think that is a testament to it being made with good ingredients that are well chosen for facial skin. But I recommend this mainly for cheeks if you're looking for a dewy shine. On my forehead and chin, it just looked like I had a greasy T-zone.After using the first time and having a hard time spreading it evenly over my skin, I have tried thinning it out with another product I already had that is intended to be mixed with other facial products. That did make it easier to apply in the amounts and areas that I wanted, but in the end, this is just not the product I was looking for. It feels too heavy on my skin.Also, the pump seems to be the least high quality portion of this product; I realized today that it is leaking oil that was left in the pump portion down on the outside of the bottle and onto my bathroom counter.

I've started to get fine lines at the corners of my mouth and eyes this winter, so I wanted to try something that would nourish my skin and help stimulate the production of collagen without being as irritating as the RetrinAL product I was using before, so I decided to try this oil.This Super Antioxidant Glow Oil is like a super food for the skin, and it contains bakuchiol which is a natural alternative to retinol, rosehip seed and tamanu oils to soothe and smooth my skin, and squalene to lock in moisture. It can be used alone or in combination with a moisturizer for greater effect.In using this oil, I learned that a little goes a long way and it takes a long while to absorb into my dry skin. If used over moisturizer as suggested then it takes even longer to absorb enough to consider leaving the house, so I would only use this as part of a morning routine on days that you don't plan to go out anywhere. If you plan to use foundation or powder after applying this oil, then I'd suggest allowing an additional 30 minutes or more to allow this time to fully absorb first.This oil is fine for daytime use when you get to stay home, and it's a good addition to my evening skin care routine. I apply this over a moisturizer well before bedtime to give it time to absorb fully before going to bed and I'm noticing a visible reduction in the fine lines at my mouth and eyes along with a heathier looking complexion and skin tone, so I'm going to continue using this but mostly at night.UPDATE: Oil collects in the part of the pump that attaches to the bottle and leaks down the sides of the bottle. The manufacturer really needs to improve this feature, especially considering the cost of this product!

I bought my first bottle of Pangea Organics facial oil years ago at a little shop in Provincetown called Kiss and Makeup. It was my first experience with a facial oil and the lovely light fragrance really seduced me. At the time, it came in a clear brown glass bottle. I'm not sure if this Glow Oil is the same product or not, but it sure smells similar. And it's just as great as I remember. I'd categorize this as a mid-weight oil. It doesn't absorb completely like a typical "dry" oil, but it doesn't feel greasy and unpleasant either. I like to add a drop or two to my night cream to create a rich, nourishing and occlusive seal that holds in moisture and leaves my face plump and glowing when I wake up. As a bonus, the packaging is all recyclable.

This little bottle of Glow Oil surprised me. The oil is thicker than most facial oils I've tried and I like that. I find the scent to be pleasant and calming. The list of ingredients is recognizable and there's nothing to irritate my skin. One pump is all it takes for me to lightly cover my face. I prefer to blend it with a smidge of my favorite moisturizer to add even more benefit. I use the oil straight at night. Either way, it makes the perfect base for my foundation with perfect application. My skin feels softer and I'm very pleased with the performance.

This seriously hydrates my face during the cold dry winter. After I cleanse my face like normal, I apply this before bed. A little goes a long way. It’s very light and refreshing. There’s no real scent and I really appreciate that. All my other products are highly scented and I hate mixing smells. It arrived so incredibly secure and well packed. It’s a lovely glass bottle. My only complaint is the screw on pump. Oil collects in the screw on part and isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Other than that I do love it and will continue to use it.

The pump leaks down the sides of the container and makes a huge yellow mess on the countertop. The oil is very bright yellow/orange (which is expected due to the rosehip oil) and if you don't let it absorb, it will stain your white pillowcases. Because the pump leaks, the paint on the outside of the container has started to chip away. It's a clear bottle underneath the paint so the oil gets compromised by the light. At this price point, these issues shouldn't be happening.I do like the oil. It has some really great ingredients like Bakuchiol, Rosehip Oil, and Squalene. It also has some not so great ingredients like shea butter. Shea butter can be comedogenic for some people. However, I think that this would be nice for someone who couldn't use a prescription retinoid due to pregnancy or irritation. It is a thicker oil and not a dry oil. It does take some time to soak in. Any effects from the Bakuchiol won't be seen for at least 3 months so I didn't experience any of those benefits. It does give my skin a nice glow in the morning because of the hydrating ingredients.
