'I've been an avid user of Linden Leaves body oil for over 10 years now. Previously working as a skin therapist, I've always been dedicated to using high quality skincare. Pre-kids I loved how the oils made my skin glow with health all over. I continued to use LL throughout all three of my pregnancies, and am currently using for my fourth. I love that the high quality oils keep my ever expanding belly supple and supports my skins elasticity. I haven't yet gotten any stretch marks, and I truly believe taking consistent care and using the oils religiously helped with this'.

05/10/2020 -Highly recommend this oil. I started noticing a difference within 1 week of using it. Existing stretch marks are fading and haven't had new ones since growing a baby bump. It smells really nice with a subtle rose scent and feels super soft on the skin. Will definitely be my top gift to give to pregnant friends!

02/10/2020 -This is my fourth pregnancy and in the past I have tried oils and stretch mark creams with no luck, they simply hadn’t worked for me or were too greasy. I came into this quite skeptical, but with nothing to lose, I am really happy I signed up for the trial. The linden leaves massage oil absorbs quickly into the skin and has a lovely fragrance, a blend of a herbal scent and fresh rose. I currently have no new stretch marks at 33 weeks and my previous stretch marks have reduced in appearance. It has even helped the dry skin patches I have had this pregnancy. I have had a lot of compliments on the fragrance and have already recommended this product to friends and family.

29/09/2020 -I was fortunate enough to receive this lovely product to review when I was about 21 weeks pregnant. I have been using a mixture of products on my body, and specifically on my belly, and the Linden Leaves body is definitely my favourite to put on. It is a beautiful looking product, the rose smell is amazing, it isn’t too greasy and absorbs into my skin pretty quickly. I have been applying it after showering and feels like a luxurious treat for my pregnant body. I am now 36 weeks pregnant and don’t have a single stretchmark (yet!)- this body oil certainly would’ve contributed to this amazing result. I also have had minimal itchiness which I can only assume is also attributed to using this oil. I also appreciate that I don’t have to worry about it leaking as it has both a screw on lid, as well as a cap that goes on top too. A very generous sized bottle which means I’m still not even halfway through the bottle yet! Although overall it is a moisturising product, I found some patches of skin (where I probably didn’t put as much oil on like my arms) did get a bit dry but this isn’t unusual over the winter months so topped up with some moisturiser for those spots. Overall, definitely recommend this product!

25/09/2020 -I really like this oil, now 31 weeks and been using it since about 14 weeks. It smells lovely (even my husband likes the smell when I put it on). It is also very light weight so easily absorbed. I use most nights, particularly if my tummy feels tight or a bit itchy. I'm starting to get some stretch marks now but it certainly does help. I tried it on an existing scar for about 2 weeks but it didn't seem to do anything. The bottle also lasts for ages which is great, I've still got about 1/3 left :)

25/09/2020 -I’ve been lucky enough to be given a bottle of this as part of a trial. Was very surprised at how big a bottle it is, and even after a few months’ use there is still plenty left. What I love most is the scent - it’s divine! The oil feels great on my skin, doesn’t leave it greasy / oily, leaving my skin well moisturised. Though I’m sure genetics played a huge part too, I have not had a single stretch mark while using this. Good quality product that I won’t hesitate to recommend to others.

24/09/2020 -I have been given the opportunity to use this product throught the last 12 weeks of my pregnancy (currently 35 weeks) it is non greasy and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated. I do not have any appearance of stretch marks and would say it has contributed to my skin feeling as though it can stretch throughout my pregnancy. The frangrance however can be a little overwhelming at times and I would purchase in an alternative frangrance. Definitely a lovely product to have on your pregnancy journey.

24/09/2020 -I started using this product from week 8 of my pregnancy I’m now 26 weeks and haven’t got a stretch mark in sight. Leaves skin feeling soft and radiant, would recommend using at night before bed does take a little while to soak in but all and all can recommend this product.

22/09/2020 -For a few months now I have been lucky enough to be using this to conduct a product review for OHbaby. The packages is so nice and really makes you sense just how nice this product will be. I have been using it on my belly for around 3 months now and I haven’t notice a single stretch mark on my belly. It’s a beautiful oil that absorbs really nicely into your skin and doesn’t leave your clothes feeling oily. So was perfect to put on then get dressed not long after. I would definitely recommend this product especially to anyone who is pregnant wanting a oil for your belly.

20/09/2020 -I’ve personally really enjoyed using this product during my pregnancy. I started using it at 15 weeks and I’m currently 30 weeks with no stretch marks so far. The oil doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily, and really helps with the itch of my growing body. This bottle goes a long way as I’m only half way through it and use it regularly. Highly recommend.

19/09/2020 -Super grateful for being able to trial the use of this oil throughout this pregnancy. Started using Linden leaves in the growing bump in the first trimester and use it every night after a shower. It leaves the skin feeling soft, absorbs well, and has helped dry skin. Am now 27 weeks and so far haven't developed any new stretch marks, existing ones haven't got any darker. The rose smell does linger for quite some time but I quite like the smell of it. It's a decent size bottle and goes a long way, would be a bit eaiser if it was in a pump bottle as sometimes too much comes out at once. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

18/09/2020 -I put this in the bath when having a soak, smells so delicious and luxurious, really helps to relax. I started using this oil when I was about 14 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy I am now 31 weeks. I also use the oil almost daily after having a shower. A little goes a long way and it does take a little while to soak into the skin. Would recommend accompanying with a moisturizer as I have some quite dry patches of skin which the oil does not seem to really fix.No stretch marks!!!

17/09/2020 -I’ve been using this oil from 16 weeks and am currently 34 weeks pregnant and haven’t had any new stretch marks on my tummy. My tummy hasn’t been itchy (despite feeling stretched to capacity!) and is definitely well moisturised. The bottle is very generously sized and I am only half way through it. The oil absorbs quickly into my skin after a shower and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy. Because I use it before bed, I would personally prefer a more subtle fragrance like lavender, as the rose can be a bit overpowering and does linger for a long time. It would also be awesome if it came in a pump bottle for ease of use. However, overall I’m happy with this oil and am glad I had a chance to use it. I would happily recommend it to other hapu māmā.

16/09/2020 -From the moment I opened the package I knew I was going to love the product! Not only is it beautifully presented but it has worked wonders for my growing puku. I have been using it for around 4 months now and I don’t have a single stretch mark at 31 weeks pregnant. The smell is amazing and so relaxing and calming when I put it on after having a shower or bath - my mother in law always comments on it! My skin feels super soft and I haven’t noticed any itching either, so I genuinely believe this oil is really helping to keep my skin hydrated and supple. I have been using it on my existing stretch marks on the side of my thighs/hips and they have faded a little, but I haven’t been using it as consistently as I have on my belly. I’ve recently started putting a little on my face where I have some mild acne scarring and they have definitely faded! I would totally recommend this oil and will definitely be purchasing some more!

15/09/2020 -I started using this oil when I was about 16 weeks pregnant (was using another product beforehand) and am now 28 weeks. I use the oil after having a shower. A little goes a long way and, although it does take a little while to soak into the skin, it does make make my skin feel softer. While I didn’t get any stretch marks in my first pregnancy I have this time but only underneath my belly and it’s possibly because of the quicker growth due to having twins this time. Now intend to concentrate the oil where I have the marks in the hope of preventing them from getting bigger and stopping the accompanying itch. I would definitely recommend the product even if you’re not pregnant.

15/09/2020 -I absolutely love this oil! It’s not too greasy, spreads easily and has a great smell. It comes in a large bottle and a little goes a long way. My skin has been extra dry since early pregnancy and using this oil has made my skin feel moisturised and smooth. It’s great to use all over on your body, not just for the growing belly! In the later stages of pregnancy I’ve been getting stretch marks, but using this oil reduces any itchiness or skin tightness. I only wish that this came with a pump top instead to make application a little easier. I’ll continue using this for the remainder of my pregnancy and beyond, it would be a great gift for mums to be.

14/09/2020 -I’ve been using the body oil since I was about 18 weeks pregnant and I’m now 30 weeks pregnant. I’ve really loved it - it smells delicious, leaves my skin feeling soft and I haven’t had any stretch marks show up yet. It’s become my go-to gift for pregnant friends as I’ve enjoyed using it so much

14/09/2020 -I have been using this oil since the start of my pregnancy and am now 30 weeks. It smells delicious as well as nourished and moisturised my skin. It is quite a runny oil so spreads easily and I found it best to put on straight after my shower to soak in overnight. I started out with no stretchmarks at all and used the oil all over my hips, belly and chest religiously. After 30 weeks now I have a few stretchmarks only on my hips and once these popped up I made sure to pay extra attention to the area and make sure I covered it in oil and extended beyond the current marks to avoid future stretchmarks showing up. So far so good I love the product and will continue using it for the rest of pregnancy as well as afterwards to reduce appearance of what has come up.

14/09/2020 -I was lucky enough to receive this product for review during my pregnancy. I have been using it daily after a shower and love the feel of the oil on my tightening belly. It doesn’t feel too oily at all and has a subtle rose scent. This is my first pregnancy and so far I don’t have any stretch marks at 28 weeks - hoping this will last! I’m also impressed with how far the oil goes. I’m not skimp on how much I use and have been using it since about 6 weeks with still 1/4 bottle left. Will be sure to buy more in the hope it continues to keep stretch marks away/to a minimum. Lastly I have found using an oil to look after my skin on belly, breasts, hips and thighs has been a really special daily moment to connect with baby and remember how amazing our bodies are, stretch marks or not x

14/09/2020 -I give this oil a 3.5 star rating only because I found the smell of the oil is quite strong with the rose scent. The oil itself was really nice to apply and didn't leave my skin greasy. I'd recommend it for people who like the smell of roses. I still have no stretch marks so I'm sure the oil has helped with those. The bottle size is also impressive, lots of oil so you should only need one bottle for your entire pregnancy. Seems to go far with a small amount of oil.
