Thursday Plantation Ultra Hydrating Macadamia Oil Review

I tried this product as I have dry skin due to having Hashimotos disease and nothing ever really seems to help. However, I didn't want something greasy that would cause nasty break-outs.

I initially used this product nightly for 5 weeks, on my face, neck and décolletage. It is an oil, so use it sparingly, and the smell while not unpleasant is a little different.

After 5 weeks, I noticed that my neck and décolletage skin is so much less dry than previously and less prone to creasing overnight (I'm 50). The moisture/supple level of face has improved, although I would not say that the lines are less noticeable, but with continued use this may happen.

Great for any dry areas on the body including arms, legs, elbows, heels and the backs of your hands.

I will definitely continue to use this oil and will purchase again when it runs out. The plastic bottle is great for taking away with you, as it weighs next to nothing, and less likely to smash than glass.

I have been using this on my face with great results. Used in the morning it keeps my face feeling smooth and hydrated all day. The pump bottle makes getting the right amount of oil easy and saves time. I received this in a beauty box but seeing the RRP I'm not sure if I would buy it for that price.

This product was one of the goodies I got my hands on from the Beauty Vault. I love natural oils, and this one was a product from a brand i had never tried before.

The product comes in a simplistic beige box, which to me, represents the pure ingredients within the product. This design is reflected on the labelling on the product, with the actual product itself being in a clear plastic bottle, with a beige label on it. However, I found a product that advertises as 100% naturally derived, using neutral tones and simplistic designs is negatively impacted by using a plastic bottle for the actual product. It just takes something away from the natural aspect of this product, and also makes the product feel slightly cheap. However, this plastic choice may have been to support the spray pump aspect of the design, which easily disperses the product evenly over skin, and results in minimal wastage, but I still don’t like the plastic aspect.

The product is a clear liquid, and has an oil consistency. However, the liquid is completely clear and colourless, which is something I found interesting, considering I had never seen or used colourless oil before. Although this product is Macadamia oil, it has a very strong lavender smell, and this another main ingredient within this product, so if you don’t like lavender, this product is not for you. However, I find it a pleasant aspect, especially as I often use this product before bed, and I find the lavender soothing. This product absorbs quite quickly, but leaves a minimal residue for 5 minutes before it is absorbed completely, leaving skin extremely hydrated.

As I only have fine lines, and no sun damage, I did not notice a huge difference in my skin as a result of using this product; however, i did moisturize my skin so that aspect is really effective.

I tend to suffer from quite dry skin particularly my hands so was very happy to trial this product.

You can use it on your body or face. I used it after my showers and it kept my skin hydrated until next shower. It absorbed quite well but still left that slightly oily feeling on the skin without being too greasy. I personally like this having dry skin but that comes down to personal preference. I would compare the texture to bio oil.

I wouldn't recommend using it on you face unless you have very dry skin, or you could use it sparingly as a night cream. as I mentioned it does have the residue which isn't as nice on your face as it is on your skin. I used a very tiny amount on my face after my toner and I have quite dry lips at the moment so used it on them at the same time. so unless you have super dry skin on your face I wouldn't recommend you use it there.

It has a pleasant smell, lavender maybe?

All in all a a lovely product for intense hydration on the body. nice to rub into dry hands and feet, elbows etc :)

This oil had the unhappy misfortune of being next after I finished using Linden Leaves Aromatherapy oil - a hard act to follow.

So it comes in a small pump bottle, that is simple and easy to use, with no waste. The oil is pale yellow, moderately thick, and soft. It has a smell that is neither pleasant nor unpleasant, just oily. It absorbs quite well. It is gentle on my skin and doesn't irritate anything.

I've been using it twice per day after cleansing my skin. It's ok, fairly moderate to be fair.It has some lovely ingredients. And it is lacking a lot of nasty stuff and is not tested on animals - all pluses. It is probably at the same standard as most facial oils for me - not the best I've used and not the worst. It is a good price though so that might sway some people. It is definitely worth a try for people who like using oils. Oh, and I saw an interview with Rachel Hunetr the other day, where she said she always uses oils. That's a good reason to try oils!

This oil comes in a nice beige green and brown box and the bottle is clear plastic with a dispensing pump and clear plastic lid. The oil is a pale yellow transluscent colour and the pump easily dispenses a generous amount. The first thing I noticed was the strong Lavender scent which I was disappointed with, because I can't stand the smell of Lavender. The oil sinks into my skin easily and left it feeling soft and hydrated. I did not want to use it on my face, instead applying to legs, feet and arms and hands. I certainly hydrated my dry skin on these areas very well. I like the fact that it contains natural ingredients with no animal testing. I would recommend this oil if you don't mind the smell of Lavender.

Was really excited to try this oil! Sadly it didn't suit my skin but I can see it being great for others!

The bottle is a huge 125ml which is a lot for an oil I thought it will last for a very long time! Which is what you want when you like a product. The pump is good giving. nice amount. So I pumped my first pump rubbed it into my hands and arms. I was disappointed to find it has lavender oil in it. I don't know about you but I don't really like that fragrance, especially if it is to apply to the face!

Anyway I used it on my face for a couple of days but my skin didn't like it! And I got quite tender under my eyes from it so I stopped using it on my face. Feels lovely when applying, but does leave a residue on the skin that needs wiped off. It does say this on the box, so not a big deal. Since my face was having issues with it I moved on to putting on my arms and legs. It's nice enough goes on lovely seems to moisturise but with the oil not totally soaking in and having to wipe off excess seems to me a bit off putting.
