Wake up to calmer, clearer-looking skin.
The Gift is our concentrated overnight balancing facial oil, created for those moments when skin feels out of balance. Its naturally striking blue hue comes from Blue Tansy, blended with German Blue Chamomile, Marula, olive-derived Squalane and Jojoba in a lightweight botanical oil that leaves skin feeling soft, calm and beautifully nourished.
Loved by Samson & Charlie customers for the visible difference they see in their skin, The Gift is especially suited to skin prone to visible redness, congestion and breakouts.
Why you'll love it
- Helps visibly calm the appearance of redness and unsettled-looking skin.
- Supports clearer-looking, more balanced skin.
- Lightweight, dry-touch facial oil that absorbs without a heavy residue.
- Nourishes without overwhelming combination or oily skin.
- A distinctive Blue Tansy botanical blend with a naturally herbaceous aroma.
The overnight difference
The Gift has become a customer favourite for the difference people report seeing when their skin is visibly unsettled. Make it your final treatment step at night and let its concentrated botanical oil blend work as part of your overnight routine.
Best for
Combination, oily, sensitive and breakout-prone skin, particularly when skin appears congested, red or out of balance.
Why it works
Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) is a rare Moroccan botanical prized for its naturally occurring chamazulene, the compound behind its extraordinary deep-blue colour. Chamazulene has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory research, making Blue Tansy especially interesting in cosmetic formulations for skin that looks red, reactive or out of balance.
German Blue Chamomile complements Blue Tansy in this carefully balanced aromatic botanical blend.
Marula Oil is a nutrient-rich emollient oil that helps nourish and soften the skin.
Olive-derived Squalane provides lightweight moisturisation and helps support soft, supple skin without a heavy feel.
Jojoba Oil provides lightweight conditioning and complements the skin-friendly oil blend.
Texture & ritual
Silky and lightweight with a dry-touch finish, The Gift absorbs beautifully into the skin. Its extraordinary blue colour and herbaceous Blue Tansy aroma transform the final step of your evening routine into something unmistakably special.
How to use
Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin as the facial oil step of your routine, ideally in the evening. Gently press or massage over the face and neck. Use alone or follow with moisturiser according to your skin's needs.
Within the Balancing + Clarifying routine, use after cleansing and toning and before moisturising.

The story behind The Gift
The Gift has always been more than a name.
Dar was Samson's Russian name, meaning “the gift.” Samson was one of the inspirations behind Samson & Charlie, and he was there when we created the very first bottle of The Gift.
What began at our workbench became one of our most loved formulas, recognisable by its remarkable blue hue and loved by customers for the difference they see in their skin.
The Gift, in every sense of the word.
