tamanu oil

Unsatisfactory Scent

May Cause Eye Irritation

Causes Itching

Causes Allergic Reactions

Effective for Inner Dryness

Slippery

Not Oily

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Doesn't Flip

Smooth

Easily Absorbed

My eyes are extremely irritated. That's why I avoid applying it around my eyes.
It's best to use only a very small amount before applying makeup in the morning!
The volume is also quite small.

It was particularly helpful for skin troubles. I almost stopped going to the management shop that I paid nearly 10 million won for, because this product helped me so much.
Of course, if you use the cushion and cleansing incorrectly, it can backfire, but thanks to the tamanu oil, I'm alive.

타마누 오일

My skin started to get dry, so I started using a moisturizer with oil, but the oil evaporates quickly.
So I have to reapply it frequently.

It has less oil and is less slippery.
I have sensitive and acne-prone skin, but using this product doesn't cause more breakouts.

1. Packaging: It's completely leaky.. Even if you just lay it down or press the dropper several times, the rubber causes it to leak out. I bought 3 bottles, but had to throw away 2 of them because of the leakage.
2. Fragrance: The fragrance is not great, but if the functionality is good, I can tolerate it and use it, so I'll pass on this.
3. Functionality: Improving facial redness... I'm not sure about that, but when I apply it, my face gets really itchy and I can't stand it.. So I can't use it.

The recommended skin type is dry, but it is not sensitive. It seems to suit you well.
I bought a lot with a 3-bottle discount, but I ended up throwing them away because I couldn't use them all. It was because of the packaging.

If stored in the refrigerator, it can become thick and gummy, making it difficult to dispense from the dropper.

However, if you dislike the distinctive herbal or traditional medicine-like scent, it may be off-putting.

I didn't purchase this due to any skin troubles, but rather to address the pigmentation issues caused by ingrown hairs on my legs. As a dry oil, it doesn't feel sticky and absorbs quickly, which I really like. In fact, in the beginning, I found that a small amount went a long way and didn't make my skin look greasy, so I ended up applying it multiple times without realizing it. I've heard this is a popular item among flight attendants for treating skin issues, and I've also been told it's good for improving pigmentation, so I'll have to use it for a bit longer to see the results. Overall, in terms of absorption and application, I'd give it a full five stars.

After using toner and lotion, I put 2-3 drops of the oil on my palms, rub them together, and press the oil into my face, absorbing it in.
Or I mix the oil with my moisturizer and use them together.

The scent is quite polarizing..
I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, so it wasn't that bothersome to me, but for those who are sensitive, it might be quite annoying..
It has a kind of woody scent, almost like Chinese medicine?

I started using tamanu oil after hearing on YouTube that it's good for oily skin too. My skin is combination and sensitive, so when I use only high-moisture products, I feel a tightness, and if I use richer products, even a little bit of the cosmetics clogging my pores can immediately cause breakouts..
But with this oil, there's no tightness, and no breakouts either! I was worried it would be really greasy since it's an oil, but it absorbs well into the skin and I really like it haha
That's why I'm on my 3rd bottle of this oil now haha

Be sure to gently press the oil into your skin with both hands for sufficient time to allow it to absorb!

There's nothing really bad about it... If I had to nitpick, maybe the scent? But that's probably unavoidable.
And the amount? Haha, that's just my greed, I suppose...

I was aware that oils have good effects on the skin, but to be honest, I had some reservations about it... My skin is quite sensitive, you see.
But I carefully selected my first oil with an open mind, and it's really great. I later learned that different brands have different oil sources and concentrations, but this oil seems to suit me just fine.
The tightness has disappeared, and I feel like my scars are fading. When I absorb this and apply my makeup in the morning, my skin looks so smooth.

I find that even just a single drop applied to the entire face causes some kind of reaction, so I actually just apply it to the areas of pigmentation rather than using a full drop.

Even if I apply just a little bit more, a lot of small pimples tend to pop up on my face :(

Although I'm not sure about the exact effects since I haven't used it for long, I feel like the areas of pigmentation have been fading little by little! Once it's fully absorbed, it doesn't feel sticky.
