I remember the first time I tried a product from Ayuna: a tiny, chic-as-ever jar of cream landed on my desk and I was so intrigued. The branding was so minimalistic at a time when most beauty companies were adding as many descriptors as possible to their product names. (Too many, if you ask me.) It just said “cream”—nothing else—and I immediately slathered it all over. What a treat! Recently, I was sent the Ayuna Cellular Oil Skin Revival Serum and enjoyed it so much, I had to share my thoughts. Here’s my honest review.
The Benefits of This Ayuna Face Oil
Let me start by saying I am not normally a face oil person. I go through phases where I love them (or hate them), but this one won me over. The formula is a serum-in-oil, which allows it to pack more of a punch than your standard face oil. This “punch” has the goal of energizing our skin cells with the idea that they become dormant as we age. Wake them up and you’ve got brighter, bouncier skin. “Cellular energy equals beauty,” the brand tells me. It “recharges cellular energy rejuvenation cycles” in the skin to soften and brighten. And I saw and felt the difference. My skin looked less tired, even if I didn’t get great sleep. It also felt so smooth, like the kind of smooth that makes you want to ask someone to feel your face. (My husband was impressed.)
The key ingredient in this formula is micro-lipids from the cell membrane of the stem cells of the Acebuche, the
millennium wild olive tree. Using patented technology, the brand harnesses this ingredient’s “restorative and energy recharge potential” to give skin a boost. Think reduced signs of aging like dryness, dullness, lack of firmness and wrinkles. Ayuna then combines this active with a trio of nourishing oils—olive, hazelnut and sweet almond—and 100-percent natural essential oils like palo santo, myrrh and rosemary. You can imagine the scent this gives the oil. It’s beautifully herbal, and I love this aromatherapy element.
How to Use It
Shake the bottle and then dispense a few drops of oil into the palms of your hands and gently rub them together. Take advantage of the aromatherapy benefits by placing your hands in front of your nose and taking a few deep breaths before you apply it. Then gently press your hands onto your cheeks and forehead. You can also use it on your neck and décolleté if you prefer. Use it every day in the morning and/or night.
