Janet: "Fine and nice smelling product meant for damaged skin or a skin that needs recovery after treatment."
I used the product in the morning and evening. I have an oily skin, and the oil caused my face to stay incredibly shiny all day. The product feels oily and stays on your skin like a shiny oil. For the evening, I liked it just fine. After three days, I noticed that my skin felt softer and my makeup stayed on nicely. I think the product will be really nice when you have had a (chemical) peel.
Functioning score 4/5
My skin became softer and more even to my touch.
Smell score 5/5
It doesn't smell chemical but spicy. The smell is nice and reminds you of an herbal peel at the beauticians.
Texture score 3/5
The texture is less good because I an oily skin and this product spreads out like an oil.
Price-quality score 3/5
I think it's a little too expensive. But I can imagine that it is worth it for someone who has gone through a severe peel or chemo.
Overall score 4/5
It is a nice product for a skin that has already gone through the necessary.
Positive points
- Spreads nicely
- Restores your skin noticeably
Negative points
- Too oily
- Too expensive
Marion: "Despite its unpleasant odor, the product is effective."
This product is intended to eliminate itching on the face and neck. I had itching on my neck and used the product for 2 weeks. It is an oil that does not drip easily from the bottle. So you have to be patient. I put 5 drops on my hand to then apply on my neck. It's not a nice smell, but it soaks in right away, and it actually calms the skin right away. I used the product in the morning and evening and I can say that it definitely helped me.

Sacha: "Soft and full-bodied oil, nice to use at night against itching."
I have used the product only on my face at night. I used it once on my head, on the dry spots, but it made my hair very greasy. Because it leaves a greasy film on me and is quite shiny I can't use it during the day. The oil itself feels nice, soft, and full. I had a spot on my cheek that was very itchy and the following morning it was gone. Other than that, I didn't see much difference. My skin remained red and blotchy and continues to feel dry and tight.
Functioning score 3/5
It did not visibly soothe my skin. It did make the itching go away.
Smell score 4/5
Unfortunately, the oil has no fragrance.
Texture score 4/5
Soft full-bodied oil which feels pleasant to the touch.
Price-quality score 3/5
A very expensive oil as the result on my skin was not very good.
Overall score 3/5
I could not use it during the day for its intended purpose. It gave me oily hair and a sticky face. It does not soak in well with me, so it does not do for me what it promises.
Positive points
- Soft and full-bodied oil, nice to use at night
- Helps well against itching
Negative points
- Skin and hair remain oily, therefore I can only use it in the evening
- It did not soothe my skin or make it feel less dry
Jojanneke: "Easy to apply on the skin."
After cleansing my skin, I applied the product. I first tried it on my hand and then on my skin. It felt nice. On my skin it didn't absorb quickly, it stayed oily and shiny for a long time. Unfortunately, I got a red rash from it after a few days, and it only got worse. It did feel nice on my skin though, and after it was absorbed it felt soft. It doesn't have a strong fragrance. Unfortunately, this product was not suitable for my skin. My skin reacted very strongly to it. That was a pity.
Functioning score 3/5
Nice to try but not suitable for my skin as it gave me a rash.
Smell score 3/5
It doesn't have a strong fragrance. Not very nice, but not gross either.
Texture score 4/5
A fine oil, though. Easy to apply to the skin.
Price-quality score 4/5
Fine.
Overall score 3/5
My skin did not turn out to be suitable, so I would not recommend it quickly.
Positive points
- Easy to spread on the skin.
Negative points
- The smell
Conclusion: The oil reduces the itching but leaves some shine.
