Hi guys! It has been a while since I wrote a review. I’ve been busy this past few weeks but now I will be reviewing the Bare Essentials Grapeseed Oil. I got this product last january and I used it a lot since then. I watched a lot of youtubers who said that oil is a game changer in their skincare routine so I got curious and tried to use oil on my face and I want to share my experience. Please take time to read the review. Thank you.
This is how the packaging looks like. It comes in an amber bottle with a pump. It contains 30 ml of organic grapeseed oil. I like that it comes with a pump, it’s easier and more hygienic to use.
The oil itself is clear and really lightweight. It doesn’t feel so sticky. It does smell a little bit of typical cooking oil.

THOUGHTS:
As I said earlier, I started using this last january and finished the whole bottle by half of this year. I was excited to use this since I heard a lot of reviews that oil can really be a game changer. I apply this everynight right after my moisturizer. If I don’t go out, I sometimes use it in the morning. A pump of the product is enough to cover my face and my neck. I like that the oil is really lightweight. It didn’t make me feel sticky at all and it is indeed moisturizing. I wake up with a moisturized but not oily face the next day. I have combination to oily skin and I like that it did not make my face even oilier than it is. I did not have any breakouts while using this product. I also noticed that overtime, some of my little pimples dried out and banished. Some of my scars did lighten up but very minimally, although I’m quite unsure if it’s because of the oil or the other products that I used. Nonetheless, it worked well with the other products that time. I don’t really have dark under eye circles so I can’t really say if it can lighten it up. It did not lighten up my face, but it maintained the original tone and I did feel my face smoothen up while using this product. Do I think it’s a game changer? I don’t think so. I mean, it’s moisturizing and I did not breakout knowing that it’s an oil but still I did not see any drastic changes on my skin. Maybe if I used another type of oil (like rosehip oil) then I might see more visible results, with of course, commitment with the product. Overall, I think it is a good product for those who want to incorporate oil into their skincare routine, just don’t expect too much over a short period of time.
I won’t be pruchasing it again since I have been trying a lot of product now.
RATING:
3/5
