“I had not heard of this brand but when I used the product I was really impressed. The Synergie Skin LumiBalance looks and feels like a product that would be used in a salon. It comes in a glass bottle with a dropper and glides onto the skin really nicely. It is absorbed really quickly on my skin. The oil isn’t thick, so it didn’t clog my pores or feel heavy when I was using it. The skin on my face and neck is much smoother and brighter after using it for a number of weeks so I will continue to use this product because I really like it.”
“I’ve tried body oils for my knees that tend to be very dry, but I’ve never tried facial oils before. I’m an advocate for clean, fresh skin so if I feel any oiliness or stickiness by midday, I want to wash my face with facial cleanser. That being said, I was skeptical using oil on my face. It’s excellent for people with dry skin and it does give off a subtle glow, but I must say it isn’t for me as I immediately felt the urge to wash it off. It’s quite light and very moisturizing but I still didn’t like how it felt after applying. I wasn’t a fan of the scent either. It had a cinnamon-like smell to it which was the most off-putting factor.
My cheeks get very dry during the winter to the point that it starts flaking; I would use this product at night before going to bed in the affected area, but not in the mornings. Because you only need a few drops this product would last very long.”
“I have very dry skin and need heavy-duty moisturising products. I loved how this oil was great at sealing in my bottom layers of skin product. Even though it's an oil, it wasn't greasy or oily in any way and absorbed very quickly into my skin. My skin is quite acne prone but no breakouts were triggered.
It does have a bit of a scent which was a little strong for me, so keep that in mind. However I was very impressed overall and felt the pros outweighed this single con.
All in all - if you're looking to try a facial oil, I highly recommend this one.”
“I was thrilled to review this product as part of the Glosscars trial team. The Synergie Skin Lumi Balance facial oil is an excellent quality oil. I have tried other oils before so I know what I like and what I do not like. One thing I do not like is an oil that leaves your skin feeling dirty and oily. The lumibalance glides on easily with a great angled applicator to ensure no missed drops, it sinks into the skin easily and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and with a nice glow that does not feel too oily. The product is super lightweight so you can build hydration, as well as use with other products such as moisturizer and foundation.
The bottle is perfectly sized. It looks classy and elegant but is at a reasonable price point, that offers great value for money.”
“This is such a wonderful product. I've been a long-term facial oil user and this one is now a favourite. Initially I was apprehensive as there was a mild (but pleasant) fragrance. It's a lightweight formula that works wonders overnight. I little definitely goes a long way. I was blow away at the calming effects of this product. I am prone to irritated skin and this product was very soothing.
I have been using this product for approximately 2 weeks and have seen a change in skin clarity, softness, hydration level and brightness. I am happy with the calming effects with the occasional breakout, too!
I would recommend this to those who are new to face oils and looking for a quality product that delivers great results.”
“Thanks for the opportunity to trial these products.
I love this oil. I have applied it nightly after cleansing and toning and while my skin initially looks a bit oily, it soaks right in.
It is a small dark glass bottle, with a dropper applicator. The instructions say to apply 4 drops to your face either once or twice a day. I usually apply two to my forehead, and one to each cheek and then smooth in. Face has a lovely sheen afterwards. I wake up and my skin doesn't feel dry or dehydrated at all. I think my skin appears a bit more youthful and plump.”
“I trialled this skin oil as part of the BH Glosscar Awards 2022. I generally not a big fan of skin oils as I often find them to sit heavily on my face and feel greasy. I did not find that to be the case with Synergie Skin LumiBalance. It is thin and light and a few drops easily soak into freshly cleansed skin. I only trialled using it at night and that worked perfectly for me. The fragrance of the oil is quite pleasant and not too strong. Overall, this was a lovely product and it changed my mind about skin oils. I think this would be an ideal product as we move into the cooler / drier months of the year.”
“This product has oil texture. Its base are two plant or/and synthetic sourced derivatives: Isoamyl laurate and squalane. After these two ingredients that comprise most of the product, there are number of plant oils: prickly pear seed, meadowfoam seed, marula, jojoba, argan seed oils...then comes bacuhiol and number of other seed oils in trace elements.
On my skin: this product softens the skin, restores oils after stripping after wash. I can use on my combo skin only small amount. It is quite runny as it is based on isoamyl laurate and squalane that are clear runny oil/silky feel ingredients. The formula has scent of ingredients: for my nose it is like nice herbal concotion. It does not linger, it is gone after application.
Overall it is so nice on the skin, makes it feel bouncy, so soft and silky, with healthy glow. Can create great slip for when using facial tools like rollers, gua sha and soothe the skin after microneedling. This serum is quite soothing. Calms the skin when too irritated with actives in my skincare. Reminds me of some ceramide based product i have used in its effects. Layers like perfection with my serums and moisturizer when used just a touch for my skin type. But for the ingredients it is way too expensive. That is why 3 star review.”
