    Though I am not part of the trial I did receive this product at the Best in Beauty event and am very impressed. Lucky ladies on the trial too.

    Hmm yeh I’m not verily impressed with that response. Obviously you followed instructions already. I haven’t read your review yet but I know you wouldn’t have used a large amount unnecessarily especially since you have had trouble with tackiness.
    There is nothing wrong with the product not suiting your skin! It’s not like majority of reviews were negative. So it makes sense that it won’t suit everyone perfectly!

    I wouldn’t have been surprised with a standard reply from a very large company. However, I would have assumed that a small niche brand would take the time to send a response that addressed my concerns. I have the impression that whomever read the negative reviews on BH did not forward them to the creator of the product.

    My review for the Minenssey Flannel Flower Absolute has finally been approved. I received a response from the company, but it seems similar to the response that others received that also made negative comments. To save people from reading all the responses here is mine:

    “RESPONSE FROM MINENSSEY: Thank you for your feedback. The product is very concentrated so we would suggest take 3-5 drops a time for both face and neck which will be sufficient. Please warm between fingers and gently pat to the skin. You will find using this way the water-soluble and light-weight liquid will be absorbed quickly. Depend on your own skin condition, the number of drops can be appropriately reduced or increased.

    This small-molecular product is also performing as a carrier to enhance performance of following products. Try 2-3 drops at a time before your mask or cream as well. We would suggest to keep using it for 14-28 days to reveal a more plumping complexion. Please try that and let us know how you feel. Please feel free to contact us via info@minenssey.com if you have any further questions or feedback.”

      That`s WORD FOR WORD the same Brand Response they gave me. I`m going to email them – in a few days (hectic at the moment). I`ll update if they reply.

    • 4 yrs, 12 mths ago

      I would find it a little irritating that any brand refused to accept that a product didn`t work as you`d said in your review, Petal. They did at least respond but throwing the lack of success back onto the user, rather than actually accepting that not everyone will have success is less than convincing – at least that`s how it appears to me.

      • 4 yrs, 12 mths ago

        I hate this type of response as well, it really blames the consumer and makes it feel like it`s your fault the product didn`t work. I`ve complained here before about companies that just dismiss your experience and try to blame you.

    This serum sounds like a “booster” of some kind. Too much to be used straight up on cleansed skin.

  • 5 yrs ago

    Well, I’ve uploaded my review, so I’m rather glad I can stop using this serum.

    I’ll see my fam on Sunday for Easter, so I’ll see if Mum or one of my sisters want to try it.

    • 5 yrs ago

      Hopefully they will have a better experience than you did Misfortunat8.

      Yours will probably take a while to be approved with the public holidays and if you gave it a low rating since i can`t see Petal`s review yet either and I thought she put it through a few days ago.

      • 5 yrs ago

        Yes, I hastily submitted my review for the serum a few days ago when I was worried about my computer. I assume that my review was sent to the company as it hasn`t yet been published.

      • 5 yrs ago

        Petal you can check if that’s the case by going in to the product review page as if you are going to write a review.

        Instead of it saying Submit a review or You have already submitted a review, it might say Review Pending (or something similar) which lets you know Bh has received it and it’s been passed over to the brand for comment/feedback.

      • 4 yrs, 12 mths ago

        Kassalee, sorry about the delay in responding to your post as I`ve only just seen it. I checked the product listing for the serum, and there was a note at the bottom saying that my review was pending – just like you said!

      • 5 yrs ago

        I get this message at the bottom of the Minenssey Flannel Flower Absolute review page.

      • 5 yrs ago

        Thanks misfortune8 that’s the message I’ve had. Hard to notice on a little screen but at least you know Bh have received your review.

      • 5 yrs ago

        Yes i recall you mentioning the computer issue and submitting earlier than you had wanted to.

        Do companies have a say in whether a review is printed or not? Or do BH just pass on the lower rating reviews to give the company a chance to response?

      • 5 yrs ago

        Oonga I’ve had two reviews recently where publishing has been delayed – and it says Review Pending as I’ve mentioned to Petal.

        One review (from a big brand) was published with no brand response and the other (from a small new brand) had a very lengthy response – pretty much a standard one though and not that helpful to the issue I had – but a response nonetheless.

        I can’t remember now whether I received the review points when my review was actually published or when Bh initially received it.

        Think I kept checking the product reviews and eventually saw it there – maybe 2-3 weeks later. I know Bh are stretched but it would be helpful to be alerted if a brand had responded.

        I remember having a review published and looking at it months later to see a brand response – too late then to follow up on it.

        I think Bh don’t hold back publishing bad reviews – as long as they’re not abusive and you have legitimate reasons for your low rating.
        And they give the brand a right of reply.

        Otherwise what’s the point of reviews!

      • 5 yrs ago

        Oh good to hear they don’t decline reviews. It would be disappointing if they did and I would have been surprised if bh did do that.

      • 5 yrs ago

        I always get my points when the review is published, which might be same day (rare) or weeks later.

        I agree with your point about brand responses. Yes, they should have the right of response; but Bh slip their response in without notifying us! I`ve been surprised to discover a brand response to my review sometime after the review was published.

  • 5 yrs ago

    This serum seems like it’s great for some and not so good for others.

  • 5 yrs ago

    I keep putting off finalising my review. I’m pretty sure I’ll give it two stars. I was going to use it up as an eye serum, but I think I’ll pass it along to Mum to see if she likes it.

    • 5 yrs ago

      Yeh that’s fair enough misfortun8. You said it made your skin blotchier which is not good.
      I am going to keep using it at night and once winter kicks in I’ll put it on before walking the dogs at 4am I think it will be really bydrating in the crisp air.

  • 5 yrs ago

    Ive just submitted my review. I ended up going to my partner and outlined things to him and he helped me to sort out the ratings 🙂
