WHY IT'S WORTH IT:
Glow + bounce—and it’s one of those products that instantly makes your routine feel more elevated.
Immediate luminosity: It gives that healthy, lit-from-within look without feeling like shimmer or makeup—just more radiant skin.
Hydration that lasts: My skin feels comfortable and moisturized for hours, especially when I use it at night and wake up with softer skin.
A smoother, more “polished” texture: With consistent use, my skin looks more even and feels more supple.
Ingredient highlights
This serum is designed to support healthy cell turnover and moisture retention, while helping defend against environmental stressors like pollution and free radicals—so the end result is bright, hydrated, luminous skin.
7 skin-compatible botanical oils (deep hydration + balance):
A blend of Jojoba Seed Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Squalane, Sesame Oil, Hybrid Sunflower Oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, and Coix Seed Oil.
These oils work together to deeply hydrate, smooth texture, and support the skin barrier so skin feels softer and looks more naturally glowy.
Because the oils are described as skin-compatible, the finish feels more like “nourished skin” than a greasy layer—helpful for balancing and smoothing.
Jojoba oil benefits skin by providing deep hydration, balancing oil production, and soothing inflammation, thanks to its similarity to natural skin sebum and rich Vitamin E content, making it great for moisturizing, fighting acne, reducing fine lines, removing makeup, and calming irritation without clogging pores. It's non-comedogenic and antibacterial, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Macadamia nut oil is a lightweight, non-comedogenic, and deeply moisturizing botanical oil rich in oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, and vitamin E, making it ideal for hydrating dry skin and repairing the skin barrier without clogging pores. It mimics natural sebum to balance oil production, fights premature aging with antioxidant protection, and soothes sensitive skin.
Squalane oil can help improve skin hydration, reduce moisture loss, and help keep your skin from drying out. Using products with this ingredient regularly can help support supple, radiant, and youthful-looking skin.
Sesame oil is a nutrient-rich, versatile oil that offers significant skin benefits, acting primarily as an emollient to hydrate, soften, and smooth dry or damaged skin. Rich in antioxidants like Vitamin E, it fights free radicals, reduces inflammation, and offers mild, natural UV protection, making it ideal for anti-aging and skin barrier support.
Hybrid Sunflower Oil (Helianthus Annuus Hybrid Oil) is a highly moisturizing, non-comedogenic oil rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, making it ideal for hydrating, protecting, and calming skin. It effectively strengthens the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and fights free radicals, helping to prevent premature aging and soothe conditions like acne or eczema.
Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, often referred to as tea seed oil or "the Asian olive oil," is a highly valued, lightweight, and nutrient-rich oil extracted from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera plant. It has been used for centuries in East Asia for its exceptional moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-soothing properties.
Coix Seed Oil, is a potent natural ingredient widely used in Japanese skincare for its intense hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties. Rich in vitamins B1, B2, and amino acids, it strengthens the skin barrier, reduces acne, fades dark spots, and improves overall skin texture.
Pure 24K gold leaf flakes (elasticity + vitality)
Made with pure 24K gold leaf flakes from the Yoshitaka Gold Leaf Foundry in Kanazawa, Japan.
The 24k gold leaf flakes helps to improve the look of skin elasticity and supports skin’s overall “metabolism” (that energized, healthy-skin look). It’s the ingredient that makes this feel like a true treatment—not just a basic face oil.
Gold leaf flakes help to firm and lift skin by promoting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and improving blood circulation for a radiant glow.
Rosemary Leaf Extract (antioxidant support)
Rosemary contains powerful anti-aging antioxidants, which help defend skin against daily oxidative stress—one of the big contributors to dullness and the look of premature aging.
Persimmon Leaf Extract (brightening vitamin support)
Persimmon is noted for containing 30x more rejuvenating Vitamin C than regular tangerines.
Persimmon helps support a brighter, more radiant look and contributes to that “fresh” clarity the serum is going for.
Texture + finish
It feels silky and cushioning, spreads easily, and leaves my skin looking luminous—not sticky. I like using a few drops pressed in as the last step, or mixing a drop into moisturizer when I want a softer glow.
Scent
It has notes of sandalwood, rosemary, and lime. The scent is fresh and uplifting, and the natural essential-oil blend is designed to impart a feeling of happiness—which honestly matches the vibe when you put it on.
Who it’s best for
Anyone chasing glow + hydration without wanting a heavy cream
Skin that looks dull, tired, or dehydrated
People who love a skincare product that feels like a luxury ritual
People who want results with REAL ingredients
Final thoughts
If you want brighter, more luminous-looking skin and you love the idea of a gold-infused oil serum that supports hydration, smoothness, and antioxidant defense, this one delivers. It’s especially great when your skin needs that extra boost—like you want to look more rested, instantly.
