Yey! My second sample :) Cosmeria never fails to surprise me (their samples always has a freebie candy). In this post, I will talk about Undecor Oil. Let's see if this product is a yay or nay.
Product claims from Cosmeria website:
1. An innovative, non-greasy oil.
A combination of emulsifying particles of several different sizes, designed to leave only the amount needed on the skin’s surface. Leaves skin refreshingly moist and non-greasy after application.
2. Powerful firmness. A surge of moisture.
Zeroes in on skin’s ability to create collagen. Essence of soybean plus five plants (Five Fit) and ginger extract work together to give you skin that’s firm from within and filled with moisture.
3. Penetrates while clearing the way for beautifying ingredients.
I used this oil for 7 days straight (3rd week of August) and will impart my observations.
Packaging: The product does not look cheap! The body is made of glass while the cap is made of like metal, gold in color. It comes in a pump which is great because it is very hygienic. My only problem is that when I pushed the pump hard, it dispensed a lot of oil. So, you need to gently push it to control the amount of oil that will come out. For the manufacturing and expiry date, it wasn't printed on the box.

The product/Oil: The oil is colorless which means that it does not have color additives. The scent is very mild almost unnoticeable, reminds me of lemon zest. Thumbs up, it did not irritate my sinuses. The consistency is just the same with other facial oils.

Performance: As what i've said above, I already used this for 7 days everynight. After I washed my face, I let it dry then gently massage the oil to my skin. It does not penetrate easily and gives me a shiny finish. When I woke up, I look very oily, but my face became firm, soft and plump. It really gave me a surge of moisture but on the 7th day, I started having redness around my eye area and peeling was visible. I think the ethanol was the culprit so I immediately stopped on using it. I had high hopes with this because of the oils added to it but I ended being a bit disappointed :(

| The peeling and redness is noticeable. Maybe this product is not for me :( (Update: already cured this and will share the product I used on the next post) |
Final verdict: This product is Ok. I am not a fan of oils because I already have an oily skin. At first, it gave me positive results like on the moisturizing part but after some time, it irritated my skin. I would not recommend this to people who has sensitive and oily skin. I am not saying that you shoud'nt try this one because what didn't work for me may work to you. We don't have the same reaction to skincare products but it still depends on you if you'll give this product a shot :)
