I was initially bought up by the dry science-y description, that being a nerd myself, :) it looked like whoever wrote this knew a lot how oils work rather than how to push whatever product up the market.
I used this product for a few weeks and am quite happy with it. It doesn't make my skin oily, but makes it look smoother and like fuller. I live in a dry climate and this product helps quite a lot. Also, it's marketed for face, but I finally got rid of the dry spots along the tricepses.
It has a slightly yellow tint, see picture, so I won't be putting it on in daytime, but then, I'm very fair-skinned myself. It is also very thin, lot thinner than say olive oil. It has a very pleasant but faint smell and it's not parfume-y, like it smells like they didn't put tons of perfume in it, but rather let the original stuff smell, and it smells nice, if that makes sense.
On a less important note, I like the design of the bottle and the box. The box looks like it was meant to be reused, it's solid, has a sliding cover, and inside it has the bottle-shaped cutout insert, but that is not glued-in. So it does not feel like a single-use packaging, which is a BIG plus for me, given how much single-use packaging material we waste every day. There was not much packaging overall here, just this box with nothing but a logo on the upper lid, and a small insert about the product.
Overall, it's a really nice product, I think I've found a new favorite.
I’ve tried over a dozen of various face oils, including high end Bobbi Brown and La Mer, and I was quite impressed by the ingredients list of this one. My skin loves oils, but is quite picky and breaks out with some of the high linoleic oils like wheat germ or rose hip. This oil is very lightweight, few drops go a long way and my skin is nice and soft in the morning. I have yet to see the long-term effect, and will update the review if anything changes.
I've been around the market quite a bit to find a facial oil that works well while still having healthy ingredients. This product not only has ingredients that are great for your skin, but it also works better than any I've tried so far. The aroma is also fantastic. Really can't say anything bad about this product.
Friend of mine recommended it to me due to dry skin issues. It really works and noticed great difference in few days after using it regularly at bed time. My skin looks smoother and fells smoother!! I have a dry skin so this was a great pick for me. I also add a drop of oil in moisturizer every morning for better result. I have used several other oils but by far this is the best oil ever!!
Bought it for my wife. She absolutely loved it.
Feature Product
- 🌱 FRESH: Ostelia is the first brand on Amazon to focus on the freshness of its skincare products. We want you to get the most benefits out of the natural ingredients while they are most potent. It is especially critical for high linoleic and polyunsaturated oils that are prone to oxidation and have a limited shelf life. We label each bottle with the manufacturing and "best by" dates, so you never have to doubt whether you received a product that is still fresh.
- 🔬 BACKED BY SCIENCE: This luxurious blend of organic oils is backed by peer-reviewed research to offer you a carefully balanced mix of essential fatty acids, squalane (the stable version of squalene), triglycerides, wax esters, phospholipids and cholesterol, to resemble a healthy sebum and act as a serum to help your skin, restore its natural protective layer, and defy aging and wrinkles.
- ✨ OVERNIGHT GLOW: With unrefined oils naturally rich in polyphenols and infused with additional antioxidants like Beta Carotene, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, the skin gets essential nourishment, fights UV damage and recaptures its healthy softness, brightness and glow.
- 👍 NON-COMEDOGENIC: We carefully selected the oils that offer gentle moisturization without clogging your pores. High linoleic oils like safflower and chia seed are slightly drying and work great for oily skin types as well. We paired them with the nourishing oils carefully balanced in oleic (sunflower), erucic (crambe), ricinoleic (castor), eicosenoic (jojoba) and palmitoleic (macadamia) fatty acids and silky esters from coconut to offer a velvety emollient feel once it absorbs.
- 💆🏼♀️ MASSAGE FRIENDLY: Add a little more oil than usual to your face, neck and decolette to use with your favorite massage roller. The oil's moderate absorption gives you enough time to tone up your skin and offers a great glide. It can be used as a nourishing mask as well or a luxurious beard oil.
Description
Fresh and nourishing 'After Dark' anti-aging facial oil
This fresh blend of carefully selected organic oils is infused with additional linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids (1%), antioxidants (2%) and cholesterol (essential for the skin's health at 2%) to deliver the critical nutrients that aging skin lacks.
Olive oil squalane (12%), emollient esters derived from the coconut, jojoba and macadamia oils; soy phytosterols (2%) and lecithin rich in phospholipids - altogether they help recreate a healthy sebum composition and restore the proper lipid balance of the skin.
Who is it for
As we age, the essential fatty acid composition in our skin changes and the level of linoleic acid and cholesterol decreases. In a younger skin low levels of linoleic acid are also often associated with acne. Supplying the skin with the fatty acids it is lacking helps to restore the skin's healthy sebum composition and make it more resilient to bacteria, dryness and environmental damage. Mature and dry skin also needs additional cholesterol supply to better repair its natural protective lipid layer and return the naturally soft and moisturized feel.
A small amount of high-quality essential oils turns the evening skincare routine into the joyful "me time".
Why 'After Dark'?
This oil is intended for an afternoon or an overnight treatment. High linoleic and polyunsaturated oils oxidize very quickly, and the active sunlight might speed up the process.
We created a sophisticated packaging that offers complete UV protection, and our supply chain and manufacturing are optimized to deliver the products to you as quickly and as fresh as possible. Although this oil is balanced with highly stable ingredients like squalane and infused with potent antioxidants, we want to ensure that our customers are getting the most benefit! Try to use this oil within 6 months of breaking the seal while it is most potent.
