Vered Organic Botanicals Therapeutic Balancing Face Oil is a protective serum is an herb-infused oil that will balance sebum production. It contains anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and created especially for problematic, inflamed, damaged or oily skin.
To use: Apply a few drops of therapeutic balancing face oil onto cleansed face, neck and décolleté. Gently massage into skin. Use morning and evening, as desired. 1.5oz.
I have been using the Balancing Face Oil for a month now. I used to be very apprehensive about applying any facial oils to my breakout prone skin as they all seemed to result in more pimples. I didn't realise that it was probably all the other 'fillers' in the product that were causing my problems.
Now that I have discovered good natural skincare ranges I find I can use certain oils without any issues. This is one such oil (the others being Vered's Anti-ageing and Kahina's Serum).
The Balancing Face Oil has a nice citrusy aroma. Since using it, I have only had the odd pimple and the condition of my skin has vastly improved. I think this is partly also due to my switch to organic makeup, but Vered has definitely contributed to improving my skin quality. I would highly recommend it to anyone with acne prone skin to give it a try.

This product makes my skin look beautiful and it makes me feel so calm when I put this and all her products on my skin. I am forever a Vered customer. I use this after the herb toner and I get nice results on my acne prone skin. I have not used it long enough to truly see a huge difference, but I like what I see as of now! Try the kit if you are unsure. Wait until you smell the products...you will be hooked!!!

Feels and Smells Amazing!
February 14, 2013
This oil feels amazing when you put it on. The scent is also very relaxing. I do love the feel of it on my skin, but for the price it is a bit of a luxury oil. I wouldn't say that it's an acne cure either. I think it helps with acne, but I do still break out a bit (perhaps I need to stick with it longer). If you have moderate to severe flaky itchy skin or eczema, this oil won't help much (try Dr. Alkatis soothing gel instead). In addition, although I love this oil, I am not really sure it works significantly better than some cheaper facial oils. If you don't mind the price, definitely give this oil a try.

Pure and effective! The best face oil for problematic skin!
January 24, 2013
Although I struggle with hormonal breakouts and problematic skin, I really wanted to use face oil on my face instead of lotion or cream. As a organic/natural product junkie, Ive tried so many oils including Dr. Alkitis, RMS oil, argan oil etc. I always ended up with more breakouts in a few days and oil residue was annoying. My last trial was with Vered therapeutic balancing oil and it is truly amazing and healing. Gals like me who do not have normal skin, who are afraid to use oil on their faces due to acne and breakouts, this is what you should put on your face. I'm a new mom and lack of sleep and changes in hormone are not the best for your skin. Within a few days of using this oil, I'm so happy with result. My skin looks brighter and it glows. Combination/problematic skin girls want the "glow" too;)
The oil calms down the redness and inflammation and smell is uplifting yet very soothing.
I finally found the one that is pure yet effective for my skin type. Ive been using the concoction of toner + therapeutic oil and my skin is happy.
I have super sensitive acne prone skin that can fluctuate between too oily and too dry. Ever since I started using face oils I have become a total convert, but I have to be careful with my difficult skin type. This oil is phenomenal - it smells absolutely divine- soft, sweet, and lemony - but not at all overpowering. It sinks into my skin more quickly than other oils and leaves my face perfectly hydrated- never greasy. My complexion is already looking better, brighter, and smoother after only a few days of use. I haven't experienced any irritation or breakouts - just the opposite in fact. I use this in the mornings after cleansing my face instead of a cream moisturizer. This is a truly high quality face oil and definitely worth the price. The scent alone is like gentle aromatherapy.

skin saver!
January 2, 2013
I'm 6 months pregnant and had been battling what I guess was hormonal acne on my chin and jawline. I started using this about a month ago and have not had a blemish since. Even the deeply clogged pores seem to be going away. My skin is smoother and I think better than it was pre-pregnancy. I usually have combination skin with very occasional breakouts. I'm definitely going to stick with this after I have my baby.

Best facial oil ever!
December 29, 2012
OMG. First time I used this oil, I was in love. My skin had been acting up, so I was turned onto this oil, and gave it a try. First, it smells wonderful. Upon applying it, the oil is so lightweight and silky, it seems to melt right into the skin. And, it works! My skin has definitely improved upon use. I LOVE THIS!

Best facial oil I ever tried!
November 27, 2012
Pros: balances and hydrates
, lovely smell
, a little goes a long way
I bought this oil based on the reviews and after checking out the ingredients! I was very happy to find no argan oil listed, as my skin doesn't do well with it.
This oil is truly marvelous! First off the smell is just delicious!! I usually spray my face with some thermal water and afterwards pat in this balancing oil. The results are a glowing complexion and just enough hydration for my skin. I have tried many many facial oils and was never so satisfied with any of them! It balances my skin beautifully and sinks right into my skin. Just a few drops go a long way, and I can see this bottle lasting quite a while. So happy I found this oil!

My skin is more supple than ever!
October 3, 2012
Day one: The oil comes in a pretty vial and the hole emits just the smallest amount to which helps avoid over-pouring. It suggests a few drops, I used more like 7-9 to cover my face & neck. The oil has a good consistency, soft enough to spread around and absorbs quickly so doesn't feel greasy. I love smell too!
My face feels more hydrated and supple than ever, which incites slight nervousness as a problem-skin person but I imagine all the little herbs in the oil are busting breakouts! Not bad during the day but might be better before bed or when less humid.

Great face oil for combination skin
September 20, 2012
Pros: Very effective
, Wonderful scent
Cons: Bad dispenser
I have tried a lot of face oils over the years and this is definitely a favorite. It is very effective at balancing combination skin and the smell is incredible. I am giving this 4 out of 5 stars because the bottle is difficult to use and the dispensing mechanism causes the product to pool around the dispenser and not drop out. Maybe this is just a defect with mine? I woudl also prefer to not have the clear glass packaging, as this can allow light to degrade the oils. I only use this product at night because of the citrus oils it contains and the smell is very relaxing around bedtime.
Cons: may want to use at night if you are in the sun a lot
Loved this oil for my combo skin. Absorbed well and didn't leave my T-zone oily. The smell is also amazing, sort of citrusy (and I'm a sucker for citrus). This is a good oil to help balance out oilier areas, suitable for daytime use (unless you will be in a lot of sun due to the citrus oils) or nighttime if you prefer. Overall great oil to help regulate sebum and balance skin.

good face oil
August 8, 2012
This is a good face oil for combo skin it takes a little while to sink in and I suggest that you use it at night because of the lemon essential oil.

Great oil!

I love this - I can use a drop or two for my face in the morning, and my skin is wonderfully hydrated, but not greasy or shiny. Good size for travel, too!

Pros: Smells amazing
, Doesn\'t irritate my skin
, Wonderful nighttime treat!
, Easily absorbed
, Lasts a long time
I love this facial oil! It absorbs into the skin better than any other oil I've tried (coconut oil, argan oil) and doesn't bother my uber sensitive, eczema prone skin. It smells like lemon cake too! Such a treat to massage in. I use it mostly at night because I have oily skin and find that my skin gets too shiny throughout the day when I use this... Maybe I put on a wee bit too much? One bottle will last me a long time! My guess would be at LEAST over six months. A worth while investment for me since my skin breaks out from almost anything I put on it! Would totally recommend!
