Lotus Face Treatment Oil - Combination/Oily Skin

Simple formula, capable of delivering results...

I did a small experiment by applying this to one half of my face and Clarins 'Blue Orchid' on the other. Both were a GWP a while back back but only just getting round to writing up on them now. A couple of negative points are the packaging - completely wrong for an oil as sunlight exposure will turn them rancid in next to no time. Also the fragrance - far too high up on the ingredients list and not good at all for some with sensitive skin (although won't affect all). The formula itself is pretty basic: primarily Hazelnut Oil based with a few extracts and other oils thrown in. I used a couple of drops each time and only on a night, following with SPF during the day. No night cream needed afterwards, as my skin felt adequately nourished. Now despite this being an oil and me having oily skin, it did nevertheless slightly reduce oil production throughout the day, although not greatly, maybe about 30% less oiliness as the day progressed. Also the odd pimple that surfaced would disappear a lot sooner with a tiny dab of this applied onto it. I can't say for certain that it helped with my pores but they did appear to be ever so slightly less noticeable than usual whilst I was using the oil. Lastly I did notice a bit of glow as I noticed upon waking each morning. This product has its pros and cons, but all in all it's worth trying. ~ My Sephora Top 7 must-have list ~ (My top 7 must-have beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Sephora) 1.

Use at night after moisturizer

I really like using this on top of my moisturizer at night. It helps lock in moisture and I don’t wake up with oily skin. I will be buying this again

Feels wonderful

Love this oil. Very moisturizing. Smells lovely. Applies smoothly and delicately. Not greasy or sticky. Leaves skin glowy

Αρκετά καλό λαδάκι!

Το αγόρασα γιατί θεώρησα ότι θα μου ηρεμήσει το πρόσωπο από την έξαρση με κάποια σπυράκια που έχω. Το φοράω το βράδυ και κάνω μασάζ στο πρόσωπο μου, η μυρωδιά του είναι φοβερή τόσο χαλαρωτική σε ηρεμεί απευθείας. Το πρωί το πρόσωπο είναι πιο ήρεμο και έχει μια γυαλάδα υγείας. Είναι πολύ ωραίο να χρησιμοποιείται με το gua sha. Η τιμή του θα μπορούσε να είναι και χαμηλότερη αφού δεν είναι το κάτι ιδιαίτερο.

Great face oil

Effective & smells lovely. I've used this oil for years.

A must have!

I absolutely L-O-V-E this oil. I have acne prone skin in my 30's, and use this on top of my evening cream as a final moisture lock-in. Its smell is a spa-grade aromatherapy treatment that instantly relaxes me. I've had facial oil in my routine, previously Drunk Elephant, for years and swear by its wrinkle prevention qualities. Oily/acne prone skin can become dry out from the acids/treatments we use, and it's important to put the moisture back in after its taken off to prevent skin from over-compensating throughout the day. The formula in Lotus does just that while keeping breakouts and pesky wrinkles away. The scent of this oil won me over and I look forward to it every evening as a final pampering. It doesn't break me out, my skin glows after application, and one bottle lasts me at least 6 months. Just a few drops is all you need to cover the face, neck and décolleté. If you're on the fence, treat yourself and do it!

Oily skin

Amazing product,great for my oily skin

it keeps oily skin under control

I gave this 3 stars because it give me tiny little white heads from first use ima give it few more days before making a final decision on keeping or returning it, all thought it did keep my oily face under control and I was not as oily but it feels though as it trapped the oil in my pores?!

Worth the money!

Works well as soon as I wash my face and pat dry it. Smells amazing too.

best face oil

this oil helped with hydration and breakouts, I love this!!

Maskne miracle

This is my first product review ever so that should tell you how much I love this. I actually bought this in my low 20s but I was drinking, eating terrible foods, and using strong/aggressive products in college so one oil can only do so much. Years later, I now understand I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and have a great skincare routine. I decided to give this a try again and oh my gosh my maskne disappeared. I’m not even joking I’ve been using this product for a month and I haven’t had one pimple. For me my acne comes from closed comedones becoming inflamed and thus turning into pimples but since using this it just becomes a blackhead that easily comes out. No mask cysts! And when I do extract my blackheads I rub this oil afterwards and the next day my skin is back to normal, when usually I would have red/aggravated skin for a couple of days. Please try this out if you have to wear a mask for the entire day due to work and you have maskne!

Lovely Oil

I have been using lotus oil for more than ten years, it has kept my skin from getting spots and helps with my greasy skin. Lovely smell!
