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.
30ml ≈ 300 uses 5ml ≈ 50 uses Based on approximately 4 drops per application = 0.1g.
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.

"I suffered from this mystery skin rash that was inflamed, itchy & painful for 11 months. I tried so many lotions & creams but zero change. Even a dermatologist could not pinpoint was it was, just gave me cortisone cream and sent me on my way (the before photos show me with a layer of cortisone on it just to stop the itching). I used Samson & Charlies the gift facial oil in the mornings and the famous 24k facial oil in the evenings underneath a plain neutral moisturiser and omg it cleared up my face in only 12 days!! The itchiness has greatly subsided and my face is nowhere as angry looking and looks normal. Whatever is in those bottles is magic. My skin is smooth and hydrated too which is a great bonus and the oil absorbs in easily. I'm even using the gift oil on my mild eczema which appears on my arms and it greatly hydrated it. I highly recommend those products for skin acting crazy and to hydrate it."

Feels nice. Looking forward to more solid results after I’ve used it for a while
This oil is great, perfect for my sensitive but combo/hormonal skin. I have used so many oils on and off over the years and have come back to this one recently after a particularly bad period of breakouts, milia and dermatitis. It feels and smells amazing and has definitely helped to brighten, nourish and clear my skin. Love it!
I have read good things about Blue Tansy oil in a few different places, so gave it a go. I'm glad I did. The Gift Blue Tansy Oil absorbs beautifully into my skin, never leaving it oily, but soft and smooth. I have been using it every second night with my Solawave (red light/massage therapy) and my skin has been clear (no breakouts), smooth with a nice healthy glow to it. And of course delivery was super fast and it was packaged beautifully. I'd recommend giving it a go.
I have lost count how often I have purchased this for my teenage daughter...we always come back to this in the end, in a market saturated with skin care products. It's her holy grail for clearing up her skin and maintaining it, even during that time of the month. We've tried far more expensive products but these are the 3 products she swears by -the blue tansy oil, the balancing moisturiser and a CeraVe cleanser. Please don't stop making this!
Store owner replied:
That's so great to hear Anita - We're so thrilled we could find something to help. The ups and downs of teenage skin can be awful so we're just thrilled we can be part of the solution.
The best products I've ever used my husband ask if I had had botox because my face looks so plump after only 6 week's my friend are also commenting on how clear and plump my face is looking.
By far the best, especially now we have to wear face masks. I find this facial oil hydrating and my skin is able to breathe whilst preventing any maskne! Definitely recommend for morning and night time!!
I had been using more expensive facial oils. Then I decided to try the blue tansy facial oil!
My skin feels and looks so much better!
I’ve just purchased another bottle!
Highly recommend for sensitive combination skin!
Lovely face oil very light & sinks into skin after a few minutes. Might need a few more weeks to see if it helps with breakouts as have only used about 3-4 weeks so far & has helped slightly. Has a floral herbal scent.
I bought the Samson & Charlie complete skincare system for my 14 year old daughter and this oil included. Verdict after 2 weeks? Love love love. She loves this oil, her skin is perfectly clear and glowing. But unlike other products to help keep breakouts at bay, this one stops them in their tracks and the skin is super hydrated! For you young girls with breakouts, you must try this oil. It will clear your skin, smells amazing and is super hydrating without being greasy - trust me your skin will thank you in 3 decades!
Love this product soo much since I’ve been using it 🔥✨ since I have very sensitive skin and I’ve been looking for a face oil that does the job I can definitely say I have found the right product that doesn’t irritate my skin!
This oil is fascinating, it really is an oil that removes oiliness! I use this predominantly for my nose and forehead - I have a fringe, so I generally get quite an oily forehead and down to my temples. This oil corrects this and has cleared up my forehead pimples with repeated use. I have also found it helps balance other products; my skin was a bit oily with certain products that I liked the other effects of, but this has stopped this. Highly recommend for anyone suffering with oily skin. Thank you!
This facial oil is brilliant for anyone who has sensitive skin, or who is prone to hormonal breakouts or redness. I have been using this oil daily for a couple of months now and have noticed a dramatic improvement to both the look and feel of my skin.
I have super sensitive combination skin!
I have used many facial oils but the gift is by far the best one I have used.
My skin is softer and clearer!
No nasty reactions either!
Highly recommend!

Loving my Facial oils
So happy I cMe across Sampson and Charlie. I have been using their ranges for about a month now and my skin has improved dramatically already. No more redness or breakouts and my fine lines are barely noticeable. Cannot recommend their skin care highly enough. If you have sensitive skin that's prone to breakouts, flakiness or redness you will love this oil immensely.

Blue tansy beautiful
Such a beautiful facial oil. Samson and Charlie have made unique, creative and beautiful skincare. The kind I've been looking for. Learning the benefits of blue tansy and chamomile. They're high quality ingredients. And blue is my favourite colour. Blue tansy and chamomile are perfect for having all acne, sensitivity, redness and aging issues. It's suited to all those problems. I'm 30, still have some hormonal/stress pimples, but also have thin sensitive skin and i'm starting to age. This is wonderful. Calms my skin down and leaves it smooth/comfy.

The Gift Balancing Oil
I bought this oil for my daughter to try as she was experiencing hormonal breakouts, as well as eczema. She is finding the oil is greatly improving the condition of her skin and she will definitely repurchase.

My New Holy Grail!
With the pandemic I've been wearing a mask for 10 hours a day, and even with my 100% silk mask I've still been getting horrible maskne. It's become the bane of my life. Huge irritable blind pimples all along my jaw and nose that leave red welts, it's like reliving the worst of teenage acne but flakey and dry this time as well. After getting and trying the small vial for a week only I had to buy the big version after the results I've seen. My skin isn't tight or dry anymore, it's plump and velvety soft and I finally have that "glow from within" look that I thought was a myth, and I don't even need a moisturiser every night anymore. It's calmed the pimples and kept them at bay, and has helped the healing process as well. It does everything you could ever need in a facial product, the packaging is luxurious, it sinks right into the skin and it smells DIVINE. It's worth every cent and the smallest amount is needed, even with my thirsty skin. If you're double guessing don't just put it in your basket!

Excellent facial oil!
This facial oil is amazing. Absolutely love the smell, the oil is light, not thick at all. It moisturizes my skin for the whole day, and help clear my acne. I will continue purchasing, and would encourage everyone to try it.
