In my skincare dream land, if asked to formulate a product it would be something like the Superfacialist Vitamin C + skin renew cleansing oil by Úna Brennan. A combination of a high percentage vitamin c with an oil based cleanser that took make up off, cleansed, while brightening your skin; so you can image the excitement when I discovered this product. Fortunately, my sister in law was coming to visit from the UK so she was sweet enough to grab a couple for me to review.
WHAT IS SUPERFACIALIST Vitamin C + Renew Cleansing oil by Úna Brennan
A facial oil infused with vitamin C, olive oil, grapeseed oils and rosehip oil. It is the ultimate cleanse to remove dirt and unclog pores. It is a lightweight oil that turns into a milky substance to reveal fresher, softer and more radiant skin.

HOW LONG DID I TEST THE PRODUCT?
OCT to DEC 2016
FRAGRANCE
Citrus scent
SKIN TYPE
It claims that this product can be used by all skin types but I disagree. I would recommend this product to anyone with dry skin or any one with mature skin. If you have oily, sensitive, or combination skin I would approach with caution.
PACKAGING
A simple jar with a flip up top. Honestly, this package is not my favorite.It cracks easily therefore there can be a lot of spills.
REPURCHASE:
Not for my skin type (oily/sensitive) so I will not repurchase but I would recommend it to someone with dry or mature skin
RATING
3/5
CONCLUSION
Pro
It takes off make up easily
It’s very affordable
My skin was left clean but not stripped
Great for anti aging
Cons
The fragrance is a too strong for me
It’s not great for all skin types especially oily skin because of the infused olive oil which is better for mature skin
I did not notice any brightening or renewed glow on my skin
I really wanted to love this product and hoped that I would see the claimed results but the product is not suitable for my oily skin type. Let me know what your experience was with the product, did you like it ? and what is your skin type? Leave your comments below. Have a great week.
