Maracuja Oil by Tarte, Maracuja Seed Oil 100% Pure Skin Enhancement 1.7oz/50mL

I had started to do my own research on Maracuja oil, and I wanted to try it out. I am so glad that I tried it out! Tarte Pure Maracuja oil is a must for every girl's regimen. It does not clog your pores, and a little goes a long way. This is important because my pores tend to get clogged easily, and I am picky about the products I use on my face. All you need is 3 drops on your hands, rub for a few seconds, and gently pat on your face and neck. I add another three drops and gently apply to my eye-lids and brow bone area. The oil does not "sit" on the skin and is rapidly absorbed. My hands feel soft too :). I am going to start treating my hands and arms with this oil too :). Because this oil has Vitamin C, it can help brighten complexion and possibly complement other products that are part of the nightly skin care regimen. I usually use this oil at night so it can do its best work while skin the begins the nightly recovery process while we sleep. The bottle is perfect, as the small opening and use of dropper tip applicator helps prevent oxidation of the oil. Be sure to avoid touching the droppper tip to anything though. I would recommend starting out with a small bottle, as IT WILL LAST A LONG TIME. It is worth a try.

Seriously. All the other rave reviews are right. This stuff works. I have combination skin and have been prone to acne my whole life, even now at age 28. I put this oil on at night after cleansing and toning, in place of my regular night cream. My skin has been great! Very moisterized, no breakouts, even tone and texture, etc. I haven't tried any other face oils, and I may give argan oil a try as well, but this oil has worked wonders so far. Who would have known that putting oil on your face could be so good for it? I have a friend who has struggled with pretty terrible acne for many years and has tried everything besides Accutane with little to no luck. This oil alone has made a dramatic difference in her skin and her success story was what made me try this stuff. Trust me, it works. And the small size is pretty cheap here on Amazon. I ordered the 0.23oz size in November and I still have a third of it left. I think I might use a little more than some people, so you might be able to get more like 5-6 months out of the small size. A little does go a long way.

Let me begin by stating that my skin type is oily with whiteheads around my nose and cheeks. I do have uneven skin tone and blemishes. After I cleanse my face with my clinique facial soap I use my toner and then apply the maracuja oil also known as passion fruit oil. As soon as it soaks into my face I then apply my vitamin c cream. So far it has made my vitamin c cream much more effective. It changes the texture of my cream almost like an oil as well which quickly gets absorbed into my skin. This product works well with other moisturizers it gives it a boost and it also helps to keep your skin soft and supple. It has not increased my whitheads or made my skin further oily which is good. It's worth Adding to your skin regimen to help keep your skin healthy and help in the repair process. I only use it at night and as I said very good combined with vitamin c cream or serum.

Great stuff. This is the sample size which was what i was looking for. My skin was super dry from the winter and I used this for a couple days and my skin felt so much better. It's very lightweight and has a very light smell. I use a very small amount and it covers my face. It absorbs quickly. I did try it in warmer weather in lieu of my regular lotion however I did go back to my regular lotion because it has an SPF and this doesn't.

As a certified beauty addict, I have tried just about everything. I must admit oil is not my favorite thing to put on my face. But age & this past winter catch up with your skin. THis is a not too oily oil; it blends right in. My dry skin eats it up in two minutes. It doesn’t have a bad smell & I put it on my eyes without any problem. It’s a generous size for the price & has all good things in it & no bad stuff. I have noticed that my skin is less dry the next day & makeup stays on; not too many lines show up. I spent hours looking thru all the different oils that are out & stayed with this one. Some people use it day & night but I only use it at night. See what works for you.

Obviously I can only vouch for my own experience with this oil, but it's been quite a miracle for me. I originally picked it up based on a recommendation from a friend who said it helped heal some dry patches she had. I have pretty average skin, but as I have gotten older I have developed similar dry patches here and there. After almost two weeks of dabbing just tiny bits on the patches every night before bed, they are virtually gone. A few tiny zits cropped up at first, but those went away quickly. Here's the kicker: one of my dry patches was next to a rather dark age spot. Within a couple of days, I realized the spot itself was fading rapidly, so I started applying the oil directly on the spot as well. It's now barely visible and my skin is so soft there! This week I have started using it on the outer corners of my eyes because that skin is getting a bit brittle, and I swear it's already starting to soften and relax. I have a feeling I am going to end up using it all over my face at some point, but for now I am extremely happy with the results I have seen thus far in the problem areas.

This review is specifically for 7ml option (to be honest I thought I was buying the small bottle I usually get in store that is 15 ml but this one is just a sample bottle, very tiny--my mistake). I've been using this oil for some time and usually get it at Sephora. The problem with this one is is that it either went bad because it's old or because of poor storage (or someone poured old olive oil in those tiny $15 bottles), but it smells like old oil and is definitely not the product I usually get at sephora.

Love Tarte's Maracuja Oil. My Esthetician was the one who told me it would be perfect for my combination skin. The price though. Just spend the extra $2 to get double the size of this bottle at Ulta.
