My Review

The texture of this face oil from Farmacy won me over instantly. It is absolutely divine. I literally couldn’t wait to get it on my face. And when I did get it on my face, I found the way it performs very impressive.

It is super luxurious and rich, yet I found that it sinks in effortlessly and leaves my skin softly glowing and not at all greasy looking. For the texture of the oil, it acts in the lightest way, it’s quite incredible.

First Impressions: Packaging & Texture

I really like the glass bottle. It feels weighty and luxe and I do love a pipette dropper for a face oil. The oil itself itself is golden like honey and it has a thick gloopy texture to look at. But as I said, it sinks in as if it is a lighter, finer oil and it somehow imparts just the most gorgeous glow and completely avoids “greasy mess.”

How I Use It

Initially, I thought this would be more of a night time product, but I have to say, I think for me, this is the perfect day time oil for the winter months. I have been layering a few drops over serum and under my moisturiser and SPF. It works to boost hydration and give a soft extra glow that really lasts on the skin.

You can also mix it into your other products, and I am actually keen to try mixing it into foundation. I’ll let you know if it’s good.

You can also use it on hair, which again, I am yet to try. However, I’d imagine it will be great on damp ends to seal down any split ends.

Does It Work?

I have been absolutely loving this. I have combination skin, and I feel that this texture and ingredients set lends itself perfectly to skin that is hydrated but can also be a little oily. If you worry about oils blocking pores or making you look oilier than you already are, I think this will be perfect, as I find it super balancing.

Who Is It For?

Honey Grail is perfect for anyone dealing with dry or unbalanced skin, especially in the colder months. As I said, I am combination, but I also think this will work really well even if you are oily because it sinks in beautifully, and provides a lovely balancing effect.

Final Thoughts

Farmacy’s Honey Grail is a beautifully formulated, indulgent product that delivers on its promises. The glow it gives is nothing short of perfect, and its versatility means you’ll reach for it time and time again. At £48 for 30ml, it’s an investment but not one I’d think you would regret, but only if it works with your budget.
