This was my first shopping experience with Face Theory, where I purchased a small bottle of Retin-A serum. The experience was very smooth and trouble-free. The serum was delivered promptly and was well packaged. As for the serum itself, I am quite pleased with the results. Having tried a number of different products previously I really wasn't expecting much, I was quite surprised to see that some of my acne scars (most hypertrophic) have at the very least lost a bit of their redness. At best, other scars have become more pink, or even lost their pinkness all together and are gradually blending into the rest of the surrounding skin. The results, I believe, have been largely been dependant on the thickness the scar. The thinner (less hypertrophic) scars have faded rapidly and evenly, whereas the thicker ones are taking a lot longer to show signs of improvement. I will purchase another bottle and see how I get on with the more stubborn ones, though I fear it may take a long time. Thanks, Face Theory!

Very thick oil, I mix it in with my moisturiser during the day (need to dab the face with a tissue occasionally) as it's very rich. But my scarring has definitely reduced and my skin looks plumper so I'll certainly continue. My only complaint is that the bottle I have has a pipette that doesn't retain the oil so I have to be fast getting some in my hands else it goes everywhere.

I am in absolute LOVE with this product. I purchased it a month ago and have been using it recently last 3 weeks and honestly I have seen a HUGE improvement. I have been searching down and low for a product to help diminish my blemish marks that resulted from using Clinique products. This was a cheap alternative that I decided to try without having any high expectations as I was always disappointed with the high end brands. Not only is it cheap, but the benefits of this oil is honestly so underrated. It sinks in to the skin as you apply and massage it down. I use it every night and wake up in the morning with a brighter, more even and a subtle skin texture. After using it for only 3 weeks, my friend have also noticed an improvement on the marks, to which I referred them ( honestly should’ve known about the referral programme before as they were so amazed they also bought the entire skin care routine that I am currently using all from FaceTheory). I love every single products that I’ve been using from this company, I changed my routine to the clarifying cleanser which is amazing as well as the bamboo clothes which I use with the cleanser and then follow this oil every night before bed. I am currently obsessing over all the products and so excited to try the new ones I’ve recently ordered. I can’t wait to try it out and see the improvement. Well worth the money!!

I tried this product as a last resort as my skin has been awful for months and had heard about retinol from a friend. Within weeks I noticed an improvement with my skin, the product itself does not make my skin feel oily as was my main concern. I would 100% recommend!

All products I used from facetheory were amazing but as I had an issue with acne scars I tried this oil - at first it seemd like my skin got better but the more I used the product the more pimples I had - the oil itself treated the scars - they were getting lighter but the problem was I started to break out a lot . It seemd like the oil treated the scars but at the end as new spots and blackheads arised my skin was worse than at the beggining. I stopped using the product - I still have a half of it. But as I mentioned - all other products were perfect for me and very effective. It just seems this one was not for me.

Hi Lucia Sorry you didn't get on with this - we've issued you a refund. One factor that may be causing a breakout is that you may be undergoing a retinol purge. You can read more here: https://www.allure.com/story/how-to-tell-the-difference-between-breakouts-and-skin-purging Jamie

Have seen some improvement on my face. My skin looks a bit brighter than what it was also can see the marks going lighter. In all not bad after a two weeks use. Would like to try the serum if that works better than oil. Would definitely recommend and maybe 5 stars if my marks fade away. Will difinetly keep using.
