A True Oil-Serum
I want to start by saying that this is not your traditional facial oil! In recent years, more and more brands have been releasing oil-serum hybrid products, which nourish the skin like a facial oil but also contain a power-punch of nutrients that correct imbalances in the skin. May Lindstrom's The Youth Dew is a perfect example of this!
While this is certainly an oil-based formula, the oils used pack antioxidant, soothing and healing qualities, while the inclusion of Coenzyme Q10 adds a nice dose of anti-aging properties.
Because this is truly meant to be used as a serum, massaging a few drops into clean, damp skin is a must. Your skin will thank you!
Nice beauty oil
I have used one pump of this oil for four month every morning. I press it in my skin after using the Jasmine Mist. I have oily skin but this hydrates and plumps it. My face oils have "normalized". They are not wrecking havoc on my face and making me look like a greaseball. TYD has not broken me out at all. My makeup lasts a lot longer because it's not sliding off my face 2-3 hours later. I love my May Lindstrom Skin products and I am glad I was introduced to them.

Different from the rest!
I've tried every face oil I can possibly get my hands on & use them twice a day. My favorites have been Tatcha & Sunday Riley, but this one has quickly gained the #1 spot in my face game. I can easily say the same for the rest of the May Lindstrom products I've used, which is nearly the whole line. This oil isn't sticky or greasy, but make sure to follow instructions & apply over a wet face, and use a less is more application. My normally dry face feels softer & very hydrated the morning after using.
So glad I tried Youth Dew
I have been watching this oil for a while and I was hesitant over the price but I'm glad I finally purchased because it is helping my monthly breakouts and calling my skin. I am almost 40 with oily skin but one pump is all I need to pat my face with this golden goodness. It doesn't make me shiny nor does it irritate my skin or cause me to breakout. It is winter in NY right now and summer will be the true test but we all adjust our skin products with the seasons so it wouldn't deter my rating. I just wish it was a full ounce bottle for the price which is the reason for a star deduction. Five stars for product itself!
Best face oil. Ever.
I'm over the moon about May Lindstrom - all of her products are luxurious, of amazing quality, and they actually do what they claim to do! This oil is no different.
It's a rich, thick oil that is unbelievably softening - you will have baby skin with this oil. I recommend massaging into a wet, clean face (I use it after spritzing the heck out of my face with The Jasmine Garden spray). The wet skin helps spread the oil & lets skin absorb the product better.
This oil gives amazing glow, is super softening, and is soothing on my sensitive skin. I think it works better than any other oil I've tried - a long list from Sunday Riley to Emma Hardie & everything in between. I can also use it in the day under makeup without any greasiness or makeup shifting (my skin is combo-dry).
It is pricey, but like all of May's products - it will last a very long time and the quality is there.
If you're looking for a glow & extra nourishment, I highly recommend this gem! (Works gorgeously with Blue Cocoon, too!)
Good Skin in a Bottle
I have tried a lot of facial oils - like, a ton. So I've become pretty picky with which ones work well and which do not. This is a truly great face oil, especially for dry skin. The oil is very rich and dense, which I know some people have had a problem with. The first time I used it, I tried to blend a little too much with less than perfect results.
However, on the second try I used just the tiniest amount, blending it after misting my face with the Jasmine Garden, and I found the formula absorbed much easier, leaving my skin glowing.
Yes, there are equally great oils at lesser price points, but if you're in the mood for a bit of luxury than you won't be disappointed with the results you get from the Youth Dew.
