Weleda Almond Facial Oil Reviews

Review of Weleda Almond Facial Oil
By Susan P.

Packaging The Weleda Almond Facial Oil comes in a transparent glass bottle with a pale pink label around the outside and a twist-opening plastic cap on the top. The bottle is contained in a pink and white recyclable box with dark pink and green writing on it. It is a modern and attractive design, with the pale pastel colour giving the impression that it is a kind and gentle product. The whole Weleda facial range is colour coded for ease of use, the almond range being pale pink.

Application This facial oil had no scent, making it ideal for sensitive skin, and was easy to apply from the bottle, only a little is needed to be tipped into the palms of the hands and massaged into the facial skin. The oil felt soothing and relaxing, and the act of massaging the facial skin made it feel rejuvenated afterwards. It felt as though I was using a luxury product and was a treat for my dried out winter skin. The application time was slightly longer than when using normal moisturiser, because it didn’t sink into the skin straight away, and is probably best used as a weekly treat for tired and stressed out winter skin. The extra time and effort taken to massage the oil into the skin was worth it.

Ingredients This product, along with the whole almond facial range, does not contain any fragrances, colours or preservatives, which is great for dry or sensitive skin. It contains natural ingredients such as sweet almond oil, and almond flower extract. In fact there are only 3 ingredients listed, making this a very pure and natural product, with no unnecessary additives.

Results This almond facial oil is very effective as a lovely moisturising treat for the face. I used it at night before bed, it was very relaxing and rejuvenating experience to massage it in after cleansing and toning. Immediately afterwards it did leave a slight oily residue on the skin, but after patting this off with a tissue it left my skin feeling very soft and renewed in the morning.

Pros: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dry
Soothes and rejuvenates the skin when massaged in
Leaves the skin feeling soft and renewed after use

Cons: There is a slight oily residue that remains on the skin immediately after use
· Takes longer to use than normal moisturiser, best saved as a once a week treat
