ingredients list: squalane, oenothera biennis (primrose) oil, rosa canina (rosehip) seed extract, hippophae rhamnoides fruit (sea buckthorn) oil, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, vegetable oil, d-gamma- tocopherol, d-delta-tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol, d-beta tocopherol (mixed tocopherols 95), levisticum officinale root (geranium) oil, boswellia carterii gum (frankincense) oil, citrus limon (lemon) peel oil.

the packaging: it comes in a patterned pink box with the name of the product at front along with a bit description. they put the star ingredients list on the side of the box and the complete list at the back. they seal the top and bottom part of the box with sticker. the oil itself comes in a glass bottle with label in similar design as the box. there's a bit description at front and ingredients list at the back of the label. it uses a dropper to dispense the product. however, the dropper in this bottle is a bit faulty. it's a little bit loose but fortunately i manage to fix it. so far it works okay, let's hope it doesn't fall off before i finish the product. there are several sizes available, from 5 ml to 20 ml. i got the 10 ml. 

the scent: though this one doesn't have added fragrance, but it contains lots of oils and essential oils. obviously it would affect the scent of the oil. i honestly can't say how it smells like, but it's a bit floral but quite sharp. i've tried this for several days and still haven't got used to the scent. to be honest, the medicated scent of the acne treatment is still acceptable for me. luckily it doesn't linger that much.

the product: it's an orange runny oil. the texture is similar to acne treatment one, only this one is bright orange. but don't worry as it won't stain your face. just like the acne treatment oil, this one feels and acts like dry oil. it's absorbed quickly into my skin. the first three ingredients, squalane, evening primrose oil and rosehip seed oil are categorized as dry oil, so probably that's why it feels like a dry oil. this one can help with acne as well as evening primrose, frankincense, geranium and lemon essential oil are helping to treat and prevent acne. it also contains several brightening ingredients and anti aging stuff. the ingredients are totally suitable to the promise. anyway, i initially used this by rubbing it with my palm before putting it on my face. but that way, most of the oil have gone by the time i spread it on my face. however, i've looked again at other blogger applying it, and she used this by dropping it on her face straight before massaged it with her hands. so i did the same and it worked better that way. only i have to be careful when dropping it, so the dropper didn't touch my face and i worked quickly to massage it so it wouldn't dripping all over my face.

the result: let's check the promise. hydrating yes. soothing, not so much. brightening, yes. i have to agree on this one. clearly this is the result that i can see since i don't use vitamin c serum or other brightening serum other than nutrishe bright and glow. and i can see that my complexion is clearer now. i can also say that it does help fade acne scars but it takes time. i forgot to take picture when my skin was in worse condition, but i noticed that in a week, after the acne has healed, the dark acne scar started to fade. as for anti aging, i need to use this longer. 

as expected, i like this one better than the acne treatment one. however, i do agree that i have to use this frequently. i almost don't see any changes when i only use this at night, but when i start using it twice a day, i started to notice the difference. i think all skin types can use this oil. for me personally, at this time i don't use retinol, and i use this at the end of my skincare routine and it works well as occlusive. as for me, i would repurchase this one rather than the acne treatment one. price wise, this oil is really more expensive as the price of 10 ml might be similar to the price of other 30 ml product and they rarely have sales, so when they do, make sure you snatch one.
