Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum
The moat is the process, not the plants. More than twenty whole botanicals infused over weeks rather than blended in an afternoon, which the brand is openly upfront about being slower and more expensive than the alternative. You can buy every oil on this list. You cannot buy the weeks.
Price and availability are set by Vintner's Daughter.
Why we like the Active Botanical Serum
- Every single ingredient is a named plant, and the list is short enough to read in full
- One bottle covers what an oil, a serum and a night treatment would otherwise do
- Nothing is hiding behind the word fragrance
- Texture
- Facial oil rather than a water serum. Three or four drops pressed in, not rubbed.
- Key ingredients
- Grape seed oil · Hazelnut seed oil · Rosa damascena flower oil · Rosehip seed extract · Sea buckthorn fruit extract · Tocopherol
- Fragrance
- No added parfum. Seven declared allergens occur naturally in the botanicals: benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, citronellol, farnesol, geraniol, limonene and linalool.
- Best for
- Dry skin that wants one product instead of four · Anyone who prefers an oil at night · People who have run out of things to try
- Works on
- Dryness · Dullness · Fine lines

Our verdict on the Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum
Two hundred and fifteen dollars for thirty millilitres, and the argument for it is a manufacturing process rather than an active. Decide whether that is worth it before you buy it.
