Skincare enthusiasts say they are astounded by the ‘miracle’ outcomes achieved thanks to a lesser-known beauty brand, having stumbled upon a collection of natural UK-made products available on Amazon. Crafted with 100% natural ingredients and free from harmful chemicals, the Ilex Wood anti-ageing formulations are handmade in Northamptonshire, offering a pure and straightforward approach to skincare.
The Rose and Frankincense Face Cream and Serum duo ranks amongst the brand’s most sought-after combinations and, for a limited period, Amazon customers can secure the set for £21.20 rather than £24.95. At just over £10 per product, we think they represent some of the best-value anti-ageing skincare options.
One 45-year-old woman was delighted with the face cream and serum duo, saying: “I’ve tried many things and products to help then I tried this out as I love the smell of frankincense. As of one use my deep set wrinkles were gone.”
Another customer said: “I’ve always used the more expensive products but find this product superior to the more expensive ones on the market.”
Utilising meticulously chosen essential oils of rose, frankincense, geranium and lavender, the spa-fragranced oil-based face cream and serum are designed to combat signs of skin ageing whilst nourishing dry to combination skin. The formulation may not suit everyone as its natural composition renders it a little oily, though the vast majority of customers don’t consider this problematic, reports the Express.

The Rose and Frankincense Face Cream and Serum duo is one of Ilex Wood’s most sought-after combinations and, for a limited period, Amazon customers can secure the set for £21.20, rather than £24.95.
One reviewer commented: “Lovely product would give 10 stars in if I could! My skin feels best using a combination of both the cream and the serum. It smells absolutely divine and leaves my skin feeling very soft in a way that no other expensive cream does.
“As with other natural products there is residue left after application but if you leave for a whilst it does eventually absorb. I have only been using it a couple of weeks but am so smitten with this product I am ordering another set whilst it is on offer.”
Another customer noted: “Just what I was looking for. I use it mainly as a night cream as it is a bit oily, which is to be expected in a cream using essential natural oils. The fragrance is divine!”

Customers shouldn’t have to wait long before seeing results when using the Ilex Wood products, as one shopper commented: “I use this twice a day and even after the very first use my skin felt so soft and plump. After a few weeks I really noticed my skin texture had evened out and my complexion looked so much brighter and healthier.”
Underlining the skincare duo’s efficacy, a five-star review states: “I actually ran out for a couple of weeks and could genuinely see the difference – my skin looked dull and tired without it. This is definitely going to be a constant repurchase for me. It smells incredible, feels so luxurious on the skin and fits perfectly into my skincare routine.”
Another user revealed: “I am 73 and have had great compliments recently on how well I look all purely down to these products my skin just loves them.”
The Ilex Wood Rose and Frankincense duo is available via Amazon for £21.20. Prices are correct at the time of writing.
