I've been duped by so many 'miracle' products before, but they said it cleared their terrible skin completely, so I decided to give it a try. Scent: Smells like a mix of herbal medicine and wet tree bark after rain. I didn't find it unpleasant, it's quite tolerable. Texture: More on the heavy side rather than a clear oil. That's why I only use it at night. It didn't cause any new blemishes though. Absorption: Doesn't absorb quickly, best applied at night. ★ After 2 weeks of use My nighttime routine: Light toner + Tamanu oil + Avène Cicalfate. And wow! Recent acne scars and brown marks seem to be regenerating, with about 50% improvement. (Usually, just toner and Cicalfate didn't do much, and other oils only gave about 20% results.) Even used it on an old knee scrape that had turned brown, and it disappeared. This outperformed all the recent oils I've tried - rose oil, rosehip oil, tea tree oil, sea buckthorn oil, and Bio-Oil. I feel like I've been missing out on this secret that everyone else knew about. It's frustrating! I bought this affordable Vietnamese version just to experiment, and it still worked wonders. Make sure to apply Tamanu oil followed by Cicalfate, and get to bed before midnight. The regenerative effects were amazing, and it didn't cause any new blemishes.
ConsThe biggest downside is that oil keeps getting on the cap. Also, for those who experience breakouts or redness, this oil can cause reactions in people with nut allergies, so always patch test before use. ★ Those with nut allergies should test before using!
TipApply toner, then Tamanu oil, followed by a thin layer of regenerating cream like Cicalfate before sleeping.

After applying, my skin feels a bit suffocated. ▪️Scent: It smells like a blend of herbal medicine with a hint of mugwort.
ConsAlthough I have sensitive skin, I've used face oils like rosehip and sea buckthorn without any blemishes, so I decided to try this. When I mixed a drop with my cream, there were no issues. However, thinking my skin was dry, I finished with two drops all over my face as the last step, and my skin completely broke out. Around my eyes and mouth, small blisters appeared, and my forehead and cheeks turned into burning sweet potatoes due to the redness... It's awful.
TipFor those planning to use this, try mixing a small amount or do a patch test first.

As someone who frequently uses oil products, I find this brand's packaging to be the best every time I use it! - Even though I have acne-prone skin, this oil doesn't cause any blemishes or irritation when applied. - I apply only a small amount separately on pigmented areas. The formulation is too heavy for me to mix with cream and apply all over, and the scent is quite strong as well.
Cons- It absorbs rather slowly. Even when applied with a massage-like technique, it tends to sit on top of the skin a bit. - While I think the product efficacy is really good, it's unfortunate that it can only be purchased through international shipping.
