If these ingredients work well for you, it could be a nice addition to your routine.
ConsI applied about 2-3 drops before bed, and immediately woke up with new blemishes. They were painful, almost like cystic acne, so it's clear this doesn't suit my skin. It was my first time trying an oil-based product, but I won't be using it again. Also, the scent was quite strong, which I didn't enjoy.

Its real strengths lie elsewhere: 1. Anti-inflammatory action ☞ Helps soothe blemishes 2. Skin regeneration ☞ Fades acne scars It's particularly effective at fading acne scars - even better than many spot treatments. One bottle of tamanu oil is all you need. When I use it for purpose [1], I mix it with tea tree oil and apply it directly to problem areas. For purpose [2], I blend it with jojoba or other moisturizing oils and dab it on. You can also mix 1-2 drops with your essence or cream and apply it all over your face... if you can tolerate the smell. I personally couldn't handle it, so I gave up on this method. It's suitable for daytime use too, as it even provides some sun protection.
ConsThe smell is intense, unpleasant, and quite odd. To be honest, I deducted one star from a four-star rating because it's not great value for money.

Remember, consistency is key with skincare - I recommend using it for at least a month to see real results.
ConsBe aware that tamanu oil naturally has a very strong and potent scent. It might be a bit overwhelming when you first use it, but you'll get used to it over time.

As someone with oily skin, I was worried the oil might be too heavy, but I haven't had a single blemish and I'm using it well! It feels lighter than other oils~! It seems to absorb into the skin immediately. It doesn't have that typical sticky feeling of oils, and my skin texture has improved significantly.
ConsI've been using it for about 3 weeks, but there's been no improvement in redness at all... Other people said they saw a difference after just one day, so I had high expectations, but there was no such dramatic effect for me. The smell is absolutely terrible... It has a medicinal scent, and while I could tolerate the notoriously strong smells of rosehip and carrot oils, this one is a bit hard to bear... I actually threw up once when applying it after drinking. But the smell does get better over time!!!

I'd wake up to find 2-3 new ones every day. As soon as one calmed down, another would appear right next to it... and then more the next day. My skin became a mess of acne scars and new blemishes. Then I discovered tamanu oil and decided to give it a try. Since using it, I can visibly see the acne scars fading! The soothing effect seems excellent too. The blemishes calm down quickly. Honestly, considering these benefits alone, five stars wouldn't be enough. Though with consistent use, I've noticed a few drawbacks... Still, it's probably the most effective oil product I've ever used in my life~ The redness has really subsided a lot too~ There's a clear difference in skin texture between mornings when I've applied it and when I haven't! My skin feels smooth when I touch it! You'll definitely notice your skin improving if you try it.
ConsLike other reviewers have mentioned... first is the scent... It's not grassy, not earthy... what is it...? Anyway, it stinks... It really stinks... I wanted to use it in the morning before my work makeup, but I feel self-conscious all day thinking I smell like tamanu. So I stopped using it in the mornings. It's very sensitive to amount control. 1-2 drops are fine, but using more than that actually causes blemishes. Is it because it's an oleic acid oil? It feels too heavy to use alone, so it might be better to mix a few drops into a moisturizer or emulsion, using an amount that suits your skin.

It's hydrating and... yeah, decent... just okay I guess...
ConsI bought this because it claimed to help with acne scars and redness, but the results weren't as impressive as I expected... I've been using it for 3 weeks now and... well... I'm not sure. Also, the amount you get is tiny compared to the price. The scent was incredibly strong at first, making it hard to sleep at night. Make sure to wash your face in the morning after applying the oil at night, otherwise you might get more blemishes... probably due to the oil. I had high hopes for this product, so I'm quite disappointed.

Purchased based on a recommendation from my favorite YouTuber 2. Used for 2 months 3. As the final step in my skincare routine, I spread one drop across my palms and gently pat it all over my face 4. No matter which moisturizer I use, when topped with this oil, my skin stays hydrated even until morning 5. It's been a lifesaver throughout the winter.
Cons1. The scent. You might be taken aback by the unfamiliar fragrance at first. (To put it nicely, it's somewhat almond-like, but it's a scent that's closer to being disliked) 2. The sticky texture with a green tint 3. While I used it day and night during winter, given the change in seasons, it now feels excessively oily, so I'm planning to switch to something else.

I'd say the way it absorbs is nice. And it seems the ingredients are gentle, which is a plus.
ConsFirst off, the scent is overwhelmingly strong. It gives me a headache and lingers for ages. I actually have to dab something nice-smelling under my nose after applying it. I bought this after watching Lia's YouTube video, where she made it sound like it would have dramatic effects. But after two weeks of use, I haven't noticed any changes whatsoever.
