Ever since the release of The Bath Box facial oil, I've been laying my eyes on them. A few months ago I wanted to get them in a bazaar, but then it sold out so I ended up buying their liquid soap (review on that later). And for months I waited because for me the facial oil is quite pricey (190k is pricey for a student like me, but still affordable).
Acne has always been a problem for me, although I never had severe acne. To make matters worse, I go to uni by motorbike (whenever I'm with my boyfriend), or by public transport. Can you imagine your face exposed to Jakarta's pollution. That's when I decided I need at least something to stop my face from getting more pimply.
About this product:
INGREDIENTS: Karanja oil, pumpkin seed oil, rosehip oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, and tocopherol.
My face is very oily. So oily that I have to carry blotting papers everywhere I go. A lot of people think that putting oil on your face makes your skin more oily. However, your skin absorb natural oils quickly, just like body oil. Although, there was a bit of a problem when I first applied it.
Now, the instruction stated that it should be used on damp skin, which means slightly wet. My mistake was after I washed my face, I dried it first then used the oil. My face didn't absorb the oil at all. My face was super shiny, it's as if you pour cooking oil on it. Then I got disappointed. Aww, 190k for this... Like, how can this oil meant for oily face if all it does is just make your face even oilier. I did the right thing by contacting The Bath Box and they explained to me how to use it.
So, yay!
Just after a week, I can already see a difference. My acne doesn't last more than 3 days. It still surprises me how quickly and efficient this product work. A dermatologist would cost me from IDR 500k to 1000K and full of chemicals! And this, costs less than 200k. And the best thing is it is made from natural ingredients. Nothing beats natural ingredients, no?
As for my oily face, this facial oil doesn't make it worse. However, it hasn't make my face better in terms of oily-ness. I put about 2-3 drops, more than that can make my face really oily. But I ain't even mad bruh. Because it's facial oil, it's supposed to be at least a litte bit oily on your face. I feel hopeful, though, that one day this product can control my face oil. Plus this facial oil is really moisturising.
Again, I'm amazing how The Bath Box facial oil can heal my acne in such short period of time. It's really worth it. Even when the product looks really small, it can last for about 2 months (I guess) as you only use it 2-5 drops each usage.
Definitely going to repurchase once it runs out.
The Bath Box is definitely an Indonesian brand that's worth a lot of recognition. Their products are amazing, no jokes. And the best thing is that they made it with love and passion and I'm getting cheesy so I'm just gonna stop.
Thanks for reading!
Love, moi.
PS: I ordered this facial oil from their web: thebathboxsoap.com. It's really easy and simple.
