Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil for Face 1 oz

The thought of adding oil as a part of skincare routine just doesn't make sense when you have pimple breakouts. Well, read this, cause I was just like you! When my skin wasn't flaring up (due to hormonal cystic acne), it seemed dull and not soft. Also, I'm in my 30's and starting to get tiny wrinkles (gasp!) here and there. I started to use jojoba oil mixed with tea tree oil after reading about the benefits of jojoba oil. While my skin softened, without exasperating my acne, I realized I needed something extra for the wrinkles and overall skin health: Enter Palmer's Skin Oil. I had gotten a sample of it in a magazine, and I was really blown away. I used it after washing my face at night, massaging it in my skin (and lips too). My skin just drank it up! It was like I finally found what my skin was asking for. The combination of ingredients is just right so I can actually skip using some of the serums I use at night! These ingredients include vitamin C, argan oil, coconut oil, and retinol, all beneficial to addressing my concerns. I had to buy the full size product! So far so good, as my skin is finally supple again, and even my make up looks better!I recommend this for anyone at the age where they are concerned about wrinkles or want to prevent them, who has dry or combination skin, or is tired of using separate lotions and serums each night. If you have oily skin, just dab it on a little and rub it in. It seems contradictory to apply more oil, but this is the good oil to condition your skin. Dry skin, apply a whole bunch and just start massaging. In the morning you'll be fresh faced!UPDAte: My skin looks amazing! I use it at night and sometimes in the morning, and the difference is huge. My skin is so soft, my pores are smaller. Amazing stuff!

I really love this face oil and notice a difference when using it. I have combination skin with fine lines, dark spots/freckles and uneven skin tone. It has really helped me with everything mentioned. I don't mind the scent and don't feel like it's overwhelming. If you hate skincare with a light scent, you may way to avoid this product. I didn't get any adverse reaction from using it. I use it all over my face and neck. I even use it around my eyes, which I know isn't recommended, but it works fine for me. I use this oil only at night. I'm afraid even though it is a light oil, my skin would get oily during the day. I think someone with dry skin could wear this during the day. I live in a hot, humid climate so I don't want to chance it. If I didn't have a problem with t zone oil I would wear it during the day as well. It makes my skin look silky soft and refreshed in the morning. It can be layered under moisturizer, but I feel that it works well as a stand alone product. I personally don't feel the need to use another moisturizer over it. It targets a lot of skin concerns in one bottle. I hate using a bunch of different products in my skincare routine, so this works out well for me. I feel this would work for a wide age range and many different people. I've spent a lot more money on face oils at sephora and ulta and this one is better than any I've tried. It works really well for my mother who is in her late 50s as well. If you are trying to treat the look of aged skin, or combat the first signs of aging, this product works either way.

I am no stranger to spending money on facial care-- $60 face creams are not something I have issues purchasing, as long as they deliver results. So imagine my delight and surprise when I discover that Skin Therapy Oil works amazingly well, and for a fraction of what I've been spending. Four drops is all I need in the morning and evening, and the very faint Rosehip scent means I don't smell like a tanning bed for the few minutes it takes for the smell to dissipate. It is a wonderful base over which I apply my makeup-- a light CC Crème (which also contains sunscreen), powder, and a touch of blush. I've been using it for a week now with no breakouts or negative effects, and my skin is NOTICIABLY smoother. One thing I will suggest: because this is an oil rather than a crème, make sure you are thoroughly washing your face morning and night. Remove all makeup and EXFOLIATE WELL before applying the oil (I use a Soniclear). You don't need much-- as I mentioned, four drops in the palm of my hand, then emulsified by warming it up (rub it around really well) before putting it on means it goes on smoothly. This will keep your skin glowing and soft, rather than greasy.

This oil is AWESOME! Initially I was a bit skeptical about using an oil on my oily skin, but I'm glad I did not let that stop me from trying this out! I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant, 37 yo and have always had oily skin, with hormonal breakouts. I started experiencing breakouts and at the same time, due to cold/dry weather my skin turned extremely dry and was flaking! I found this skin therapy oil by accident and have always used Palmer's other products and based on the good reviews, decided to give it a try.As other reviewers have said, this oil absorbs well and does not leave you feeling greasy! My skin has cleared up and I've really noticed an improvement in fine lines and acne scars. Many people say hormones give you a pregnancy "glow", but I'm contributing it to the skin therapy oil. Love this stuff!

I use this over my moisturizer. I works like a humectant for me. It actually smooths my skin and draws moisture to my skin all day. I put my foundation on over that. I gives me the dewy look I like regardless of the foundation I use. It's not oily in the sense of putting something like olive or coconut oil on your face. It's hard to explain, but it really works for my skin. I'm 60 years old, fair complexion with (used to be) combination skin. Now it's all even.
