I am going to tell you more about a product that is actually still fairly new on the Dutch market, Marina Miracle facial care. I have been using the product for several weeks now to test it out and I would like to share my opinion about Marina Miracle with you in this review.

First of all, I'll tell you a little about the creation of Marina Miracle. Marina - the driving force behind this brand - has suffered from atopic eczema and acne all her life. Since the remedies she was prescribed did not work, she started developing her own care line. And not without success. Marina Miracle may be a young cosmetics brand from Norway, but it is also a cosmetics brand with a very focused passion and ambition. Hence the rollout to the Netherlands and Belgium.
Marina Miracle focuses in particular on the use of natural components in the product lines that have to balance the skin. It is organic, completely natural, free of parabens and vegan. In addition, everything is of course dermatologically tested.
Various products of this brand are specifically aimed at a target group of users who suffer from acne, other impurities, red skin or eczema. Since it doesn't bother me that much, I can't say much about it, but the reviews on their website are clear about that.
I have been sent a number of products from Marina Miracle to test for a review and now after a few weeks I can certainly tell you something about them. The products I received are from the Amaranth line, so I can only tell you about that.
The Amaranth line from Marina Miracle is an anti-aging line, especially for older skin and you understand… my skin meets this condition perfectly 😉 . I received 2 bottles of oil. A face oil that you can use day and night and a night serum that is for the night, but which you should not use every night.
A facial oil that you only need a few drops of. Every morning and evening, after I have done my facial cleansing, I use this oil. An oil made from, among other things, Arctic cranberries and amaranth. Using the oil is doable, although I prefer to always use a cream, simply because I find it easier. The advantage of the oil, however, is that you only need very little of it. In addition, the oil spreads very well without leaving a greasy layer. A nice side effect, because that usually goes differently with oil. However, this Marine Miracle oil leaves a very soft skin without traces of oiliness.
Before use, you have to shake this product from Marina Miracle well because some of the ingredients seem to sink to the bottom in the oil. By shaking you ensure good mixing before you start greasing.
Personally, I really like the oil to use. It has no special smell, spreads well and is easy to apply with the pipette. Every morning I feel like my skin looks well rested. It's not that all wrinkles disappear like snow in the sun, but at night my skin seems to recover from the day before. And I think that's a lot.

I use the Night serum myself twice a week. Since it is a serum with fruit acids in it, you have to build up its use. You can in principle then use it 2-3 times a week to give your skin a good blood flow. Using this is basically the same as the Face oil, except you should avoid the skin around your eyes. There I also apply the Face oil when I use the Night serum. Especially because the skin around my eyes needs nourishment.
During use I had once that I had applied it a little too close to my eye and my eye started to water a bit, not so nice, so keep that in mind. The morning after using the Marina Miracle Night serum, my skin seems to look a bit fresher than when I use the regular Face oil. I therefore believe that the Night serum does have an effect of renewing and repairing. Using too often is therefore not good for your skin.

A very nice cleanser for your skin, with a wonderful scent. I don't think the above two products smell special, but the subtle coconut scent of this oil cleanser is very nice. I only use this oil cleanser to clean my face, I still remove the make-up with my own product. Getting used to it, I think, and because those are pads soaked in oil I find that much easier.
So I use the Sweet &Creamy oil cleanser from Marina Miracle for the rest of my face. Just make it wet, then two ponts of the oil cleanser and give it a nice massage. The manual also states to use one pump, but I think two pumps are better. Otherwise I just don't have enough product to my liking.
The cleanser consists of ingredients of which the most striking for me is the fermented broccoli;). Who would have ever thought that I would put broccoli on my face. The cleanser is therefore not only rich in enzymes, but also in antioxidants and vitamins.
To be honest, I'm never a big fan of cleansers, but I really like this one. It hardly foams, and I've been told that's a good thing. So happy with it.

They are not very cheap, but I can already see that they last a long time. The set above of the Marina Miracle Amaranth line comes out at € 219.00 in total. Looking at the fact that you use 4-6 drops at a time, I expect that you can really do this for months.
If you would like to regularly try out new products, the Goodiebox might also be a nice option for you.
