THIS IS AN OIL INCLUDES ROSE HIP OIL (NO LONGER FRAGRANCE FREE UNLIKE PREVIOUS TBS RANGE) I use this at under around my eyes reduces lines (from fatique) and I also used it on my sun spots which the oil reduced gradually- some people with sensitive skin swear by pure vitmain e capsules that can be used on face - if you are no allergic to the frangrance in this oil it can be okay- however it enlarged my pores (sensitive combo skin) and did not reduce any flakiness- can be used on lips (but fragrance so I would not) and cuticles etc- nice bottle more tidier than previous packaging so you can filter the amount that you want- good product-I have not tried on my entire face as oil breaks me out. Used to soften body- works well.
Pricey (compared to buying pure vitamin e capsules and using the oil).

UPDATE: WHEN USED ON FACE LEFT PORES ENLARGED AND PIMPLES...

What a multi-tasker this facial oil is! I've been using it for 3 months now and I've found so many ways to use it. I also love the fact that vitamin E is an antioxidant which protects skin from premature aging. My skin is spotty with an oily t-zone and it works for me so don't get nervous about using this just because you're oily.


- Wear it as a protective moisturiser during the day (make sure your face is damp and take 2 drops of oil and pat onto your face. Don't use more than 2 drops or you'll end up looking greasy). It's great for protecting your face against cold weather and strong winds if you're outside. Whenever I've used the oil this way my cheeks feel supersoft all day long.
- Add 1 drop to your serum at night. This is smart because antioxidants usually need to be applied at night for them to get fully absorbed by your skin. You don't need to have a damp face because you blend it with a serum.
- Add 1 drop to your moisturising/hydrating facial mask. I think this works really well with my Nuxe 'masque frais hydratant'. I keep the masque on all night long.


I think the price is quite high. But then, I do live in Sweden and everything is more expensive here. On the other hand I like this oil so much for all the things it does for me so I'll definately repurchase.

I used this oil as extra nourishmnet for my skin and just after 2 days i had pimples. Perhaps i m allergic to it. I will never buy it again and if someone wants to try then take from me.Its useless for me.

This Wheatgerm oil comes in a small and cute pink bottle with dropper so it doesn't get messy when you pour the oil. I love using this on my blemishes as all other blemishes-healers (which contain BP, SA or AHA) are always drying and makes my skin flakey. I've learnt to add extra moisturizer to blemishes to help them heal faster, so at home I would use Neal's Yard 100% Rosehip Seed Oil, and TBS Vitamin E supplement when travelling. It's great at helping the blemish heal, preventing flakes and keeping out bacteria. It also doesn't aggravate my skin or cause further breakouts (as most people think that adding oil to a blemish would make it worse). I don't use it all over my face as it's heavier than Rosehip Seed Oil, but I will continue to use this as long as TBS continue to produce it!

This is the best! It really is all you need for the winter in the north. It protects from the wind and snow quite well.

WOW! This is all I need for winter!I have dry skin,specifically around my nose and sometimes around my lips and this oil is a wonderful (extra) moisturising base for my main moisturiser.It comes in a 30 ml bottle with a little opening,so you can use just the right amount for your face.You gently massage into skin and here you have a perfectly moistured face.Will def. repurchase, even stock a few bottles.
