“Synergie Skin LumiBalance multi-active facial oil has the natural form of retinol called Bakuchiol, prickly pear seed oil and a lipid complex. It's marketed as a skin balance facial oil with antioxidants to fight free radicals. It is housed in a frosted amber glass bottle with a drop lid for easy and hygienic dispensing.
The facial oil is lightweight and quite runny for a facial oil. I like that because sometimes the thicker consistency feels suffocating on my face. I just press it onto my skin and it creates a hydrating barrier on my skin. I especially reach for this when my skin is feeling a little sensitive.
There is a scent from the ingredients but I don't notice it after application.
I also mix it with my foundation for a luminous finish on my skin. A few drops goes a long way and while pricey, the ingredients are impressive.”
“I’ve been blown away by how nice and nourishing this oil is. I’ve used a few Synergie products before but this one steals the show as my favourite.
I have dry and sensitive skin that’s prone to breakouts so I always feel oils are too oily. But the texture of this one was lightweight and applied easily.
The results have spoken for themselves my skin is more dewy and moisturised as my acne spots have healed quicker than normal. As well, I must say the scent is unique but it didn’t actually bother me it has an organic type of smell of spices but I found it wasn’t over powering (and I’m very sensitive to scent so that’s saying something).
I’ve been using this oil at nighttime before bed and my skin does feel and look so much better and in the morning using it. I’ve even noticed some lines on my forehead have lessened. Overall, a true winner for me and I’ll definitely keep using it and will repurchase when I finish.”
“I felt lucky that I was able to trial this product as part of the BH Glosscar Awards 2022. I loved that it felt like a lightweight oil and it seemed to just soak into the skin so easily. It did not feel heavy or gluggy at all some oils do. I tend to use oils in the evening so would put this after cleasing/tonor and waited for about 10/15 mins before moisturising. The dropper dispenser is incredibly useful to manage the amount of product you want to use, which is only a few drops. This is great given the price so it will last a very long time from one bottle. After a few weeks I think i could feel my skin a bit more softer and supple. It seems as if over time, my skin was getting better at absorbing the oil and other products. I am definitely going to keep using it to see if I can experience even more benefits.”
“I received this product as part of the Glosscars 2022 box. I was excited to try this product as I had not tried anything from the Synergie Skin Clean Science brand before. I was also excited to try it as I enjoy using a facial oil especially at night. The LumiBalance multi-active facial oil has a light botanical scent. The oil has a thin consistency and absorbed quickly into my skin. Although my skin looks shiny after I apply it, it does not feel sticky or oily to the touch. As I have combination skin, this product would probably be too shiny for me to wear in the morning as I will need to apply sunscreen and then maybe makeup on top.”
“I was fortunate enough to be able to trial this. To be honest, I am not a big fan of facial oil but this is light on my skin and this product feels like it is not there. Synergie Skin LumiBalance is definitely a must-try if you use oil daily. The recommendation is day and night but since I have oily skin, I use it only at night time or twice a day.
The product state that it has '8 potent evidence-based actives to reduce the appearance of fine lines, brighten, and deeply moisturise the skin.' I can tell my skin was brighter the next day and I did feel my skin is moisturised throughout the day.
One of the most important factors for packaging for me is hygiene. Since it is a dropper, that was not an issue with it. I normally use 3-5 drops but on days where my skin feels dry, I will apply more.
Overall great product and love it :)”
“I love a good facial oil and was very excited to try this LumiBalance Multi-active Facial Oil in my Glosscars box. This oil comes in a 30ml dark frosted glass bottle with a dropper. Although it's on the pricier side, it is concentrated and full of lovely natural plant oils, so I only use a few drops each application. It has a pleasant herbal scent and a silky, lightweight texture. It absorbs really well and doesn't leave that heavy, greasy feeling like some other facial oils I've tried. My skin feels really soft and smooth after using this facial oil daily and it also adds a healthy, radiant glow to the skin.”
“I received the Synergie Skin Lumi Balance Multi-Active Facial oil as part of the Glosscars Awards.
This is my first time trying a product from this brand. The oil looks and feels luxurious. It applies well and absorbs nicely into the skin. I had to do a patch test first as I can be sensitive to some oils but my skin loved this product. I also started out at night only just in case my skin goes a little pink or reacts to the oil but it was all good.
After a week I added this to my morning routine as I felt safe to use it during the day. I love how it feels on the skin. My moisturiser works well with this serum too.
As it's too early to see major improvements in my skin like reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, I did notice the condition of skin looks brighter and more healthier. It felt nicer too.
You only need a couple of drops to do the entire face.
This oil does have a scent that I am not a fan of, but it does eventually disappear. If you could go past the scent, this is a pretty good serum.”
“I’m a facial oil lover and was so excited to try this one out. It’s promises luminous skin and it does just that!
As someone who is trying to get into a routine of using a gua sha every evening, this oil is the perfect buddy for that. I would simply lather on a generous amount of this product (4-5 drops), use the gua sha as required and over top gently pat on a moisturiser. Every morning (well on the evenings I actually remembered to use the gua sha), I’d wake up with the most glowy skin I’ve had in a long time. It’s perfectly hydrating for my combination skin but would absorb perfectly onto my skin during the evening and not leave an oil field on my face in the morning as other facial oils would.
I’d recommend using this product and gently adding moisturiser on top - the perfect combo for that glass skin look - I love love love!”
