I keep seing this brand on social media, glowing testimonials and actual mature ladies using it. I am tempted. Has anyone tried it and what did you think

I'm placemarking, the marketing seems good but reviews aren't all great plus a few alluded to good reviews from people given it for free?

I'd be dubious, OP. Apart from anything else, there's no single plant called 'wild mint'. There are numerous different mint species and varieties/cultivars - here is just a selection - https://www.culinaryherbco.co.uk/collections/mint . Many/most mint plants will grow wild when they have the chance; they are famously rampant and invasive. The local muddy ditches here are full of mentha acquatica, for example.

I know nothing whatsoever about the brand, but IF mint is claimed to be beneficial, then you can buy cheap bunches of it at most supermarkets or grow it very, very easily in a pot on a windowsill or outside in a backyard or garden. Or - even cheaper - you can buy dried mint from any wholefoods company selling herbs/spices online.

I know a 50+ woman who was in despair about their menaporsol skin until they tried these products. Her skin was dry but any attempt to moisturize it led to unsightly lumps and bumps on her skin.

After a couple of weeks use, cleanser, moisturiser and oil at night, there was a real noticeable improvement.

Not exactly scientific proof, but anecdotally, I'd say it works for some skins.

I have v dehydrated skin and it just have me spots and v blackheads, the regular oil was too much.

Smell nice but didn't really do anything else

That's dissapointing to hear. May give it a miss then. My skin is dry and sensitive but yet I keep getting spots. Menopause, the gift that keeps giving!
