dōTERRA Tightening Serum
The Tightening Serum is a fluid, fast-absorbing serum that sits at the start of a skincare routine, before a moisturiser. A 30ml pump bottle holds a formula built around Frankincense, Hawaiian Sandalwood and Myrrh oils, alongside acacia and rhizobian gums, jojoba esters and beech bud extract.
Because the three essential oils make up a small part of a much larger water-and-gum base, the aroma is faint rather than a strong perfume — a soft, resinous trace under a formula that otherwise reads as close to unscented. On the skin it feels light and almost silicone-smooth, absorbing within a minute or so without any tackiness.
It's designed to be applied to the face and neck in an upward, outward motion, morning and evening, before the rest of a moisturising routine. A pump or two is enough for the whole face — the fluid texture spreads a long way, and it's worth waiting for it to sink in fully before layering a moisturiser on top.

Common questions
What does the Tightening Serum smell like?
Very faint — Frankincense, Hawaiian Sandalwood and Myrrh make up a small part of the formula, so what comes through is a soft, resinous trace rather than a perfume.
When should I apply it?
Before your moisturiser, as the first step of a morning or evening routine, once your face is cleansed.
Is it greasy or heavy?
No — it's a fluid, fast-absorbing texture that sinks in within about a minute and doesn't leave a tacky finish.
How much should I use?
One or two pumps is enough to cover the whole face and neck; it spreads further than the bottle size suggests.
How long does a 30ml bottle last?
With one or two pumps per use, twice a day, most people get several months from a single bottle.
