Review (2/5): Don't buy into the hype
I've tried other face oils from time to time. Never found one I like and hated most, since the results were always disappointing. I tried Orchid two days in a row. A week later I tried Phoeinx two days in a row. As typical, these face oils left my dry/sensitive skin chapped, patchy and slightly itchy. The oil just sits on top of my skin, doesn't absorb in, effectively depriving my skin of oxygen and leads to dehydration. I didn't try Lapis after the poor results of the other two and have returned the products. Orchid has WAY too strong a floral fragrance for my taste. Loved the slightly citrus smell of Phoenix, but that was all. These may work well for some skins types, but not mine. This was my last attempt at face oils.
*DO buy from Amazon. I bought direct from Herbivore’s website. My return has been stuck in transit for over a month (awful FedEx Smartpost). FedEx/USPS aren’t giving me any updates on when the return package will be delivered and Herbivore won’t respond to my emails. They don’t have a phone number listed anywhere to call a live person for help. If you buy on Amazon and don’t like the products, at least they’ve got a good return process and good customer service to assist.
