I recently tested Marina Miracle facial care products, a relatively new addition to the Dutch market. After several weeks of consistent use, I'm sharing my expert insights and real-world results in this detailed review.

Marina Miracle was founded by Marina, who developed her own skincare line after struggling with atopic eczema and acne her entire life. Traditional remedies fell short, leading her to create effective, natural solutions. This young Norwegian brand, driven by passion and expertise, has successfully expanded to the Netherlands and Belgium.
Marina Miracle prioritizes natural, organic ingredients that balance and nourish the skin. All products are 100% vegan, paraben-free, and dermatologically tested. They target concerns like acne, impurities, redness, and eczema, as evidenced by glowing customer reviews on their site. While I don't have these issues, the brand's targeted approach impressed me.
I received products from the Amaranth line—an anti-aging collection ideal for mature skin like mine—for testing. Here's my experience after weeks of use, focusing on the face oil, night serum, and oil cleanser.
This luxurious face oil requires just 4-6 drops, applied morning and night after cleansing. Infused with Arctic cranberries and amaranth, it absorbs quickly without greasiness, leaving skin soft and supple. Shake well before use to blend the ingredients. The pipette applicator makes it easy to dispense precisely. My skin appears rested and revitalized each morning, with noticeable overnight recovery—though not a miracle wrinkle eraser.

Used 2-3 times weekly to build tolerance due to its fruit acids, this serum boosts circulation and renewal. Apply like the face oil but avoid the eye area (pair it with the face oil there for extra hydration). Once, I got too close to my eye, causing mild watering—lesson learned. Mornings after use, my skin looks fresher and more radiant than with the face oil alone, confirming its repairing power. Moderation is key.
The Amaranth Night Serum can be found here.
This gentle cleanser, with its subtle coconut scent, excels at removing daily buildup. I use two pumps on damp skin, massaging thoroughly (one pump feels too light for me). Key ingredients like fermented broccoli provide enzymes, antioxidants, and vitamins. It doesn't foam much—a sign of its purity—and I prefer it over typical cleansers. I still use my usual makeup remover first, as oil pads are more convenient for that.
The Sweet & Creamy Oil Cleanser can be found here.
These premium products aren't budget-friendly but offer excellent value due to their longevity. The Amaranth line set totals €219.00, with bottles lasting months at 4-6 drops per use. For variety, consider a Goodiebox subscription.
