REVIEW: Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil

The Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil is the best facial oil I have ever used. The BEST. While there are many face oils that I like, even a few that I love (for various reason), I have found my holy grail skin oil for winter.

REVIEW: Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil

REVIEW: Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil

Let’s start off with why I wanted to try it in the first place. My skin hates winter. With a passion. My skin goes from combination to dry, scaly, sensitive, patchy and tight. Within days. Freezing cold weather and air-conditioned offices really wreak havoc.

I needed something that would calm, soothe, nourish and hydrate without being too heavy and leaving my skin feeling greasy.

This is what Dr. Dermal says about their Omega Oil:

Your skin cells require Essential Fatty Acids (Omegas) to maintain their optimal structural integrity. This ensures that your skin maintains adequate hydration and reduces TEWL (trans epidermal water loss).

Our Omega Oil is a game changer – it’s the first skin oil in the world to have complete Omegas 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9.

It’s animal friendly too, using only plant sourced Omegas and natural ingredients.

They call this oil a game changer and I agree 100%. After the first application I could almost feel my skin sigh with relief. And within days I could see the change. Hydrated, soft, smooth, glowing skin. My skin LOVES this oil. As I’ve mentioned, my skin is extremely dry in winter and I used the oil twice a day for the first few weeks. Even though the oil doesn’t feel extremely light, my skin just lapped it up and within minutes everything was absorbed.

I have to mention the awesome packaging. I simply adore the dropper. So handy, and not a drop of this precious oil goes to waste.

If you suffer from dry, irritated, environmentally-stressed skin, you want this oil. I promise you, it really is amazing. It changed my skin.

The Omega Skin Oil retails for R675 and you can shop online. Remember to use my discount code PRETTYPLEASE5 to save 5% on all your purchases on www.drdermal.com. 

I really am so impressed with this product and with this local brand. I can’t wait to get my hands on more skin care winners from Dr. Dermal.

It’s day 28 of the #High5ToGreatSkin challenge with Kiehl’s & Beauty Bulletin

I’ve mentioned before that I am taking part in the 28 day #High5ToGreatSkin challenge with Kiehl’s and Beauty Bulletin and today is day number 28.

My #High5ToGreatSkin #ChangeYourSkin Journey with Kiehl’s 

When I started this challenge, I was really struggling with skin that was sensitive, dry and environmentally stressed. Today I have soft, smooth, glowing, more even-toned skin. I don’t really think I need to say more. Thank you Kiehl’s and Beauty Bulletin! I am so happy with the results and this challenge has once again confirmed something that I already knew… Kiehl’s kicks butt.

Here are my thoughts on each product…

KIEHL’S MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE

KIEHL'S MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE

Day 1: I wasn’t sure that this oil would pack the punch my skin needs right now, but it does! I use a little more than the recommended 3 drops and my skin loves it. Liquid gold I tell you. No more tight, flaky skin. I have been using it in the mornings too and my skin feels calmed and soothed the moment this glorious liquid touches my freshly cleansed skin. I think using it twice a day is exactly what my skin needed as this harsh Cape Town weather has not been kind to me.

Day 21: I have found my holy grail product for winter!! Day 1… dull, scaly, tight and uncomfortable. Now… smooth, soft, glowing skin!! I am over the moon. Using this oil twice a day has been my skin’s saving grace!

Day 28: I couldn’t be happier! This oil is magic. This light, easily absorbed liquid literally saved my face this winter. If you have environmentally stressed skin, this is the products you need to get. It soothes, calms, moisturises and nourishes even the driest and most sensitive of skins. It gets 11/10!!

KIEHL’S CREAMY EYE TREATMENT

KIEHL'S CREAMY EYE TREATMENT

Day 1: This is the most nourishing eye cream I have ever used. It is very thick so you have to take your time to apply it to the delicate eye area. I can’t see much of a difference yet, but it feels good. Another plus is that my concealer applies like a dream. No caking at all!

Day 21: The longer I’m using this cream, the more I’m starting to love it. My under eye area definitely looks smoother and more hydrated. And it almost looks as though my crows feet are softening. Watch this space!

Day 28: Okay, I’m converted. I LOVE this eye cream. Crows feet have softened! I will not be able to go without Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment ever again.

KIEHL’S POWERFUL-STRENGTH-LINE-REDUCING CONCENTRATE

KIEHL'S POWERFUL-STRENGTH-LINE-REDUCING CONCENTRATE

Day 1: I love how warm this feels on my skin. This thick concentrate also has a lovely calming effect on my skin. My skin looks plump after application, but we will have to wait and see what it does to these lovely lines of mine. I’ll keep you posted.

Day 21: I thoroughly enjoy applying this serum. It feels incredible on my skin. It really looks as though my smile lines and ’11’ wrinkles are softening. I’m excited!

Day 28: 28 days in and I am very happy with my results. My laugh lines and ’11’ wrinkles are definitely less noticeable. I am over the moon. I am so excited to see what this serum will do with continued use. Well done Kiehl’s!

KIEHL’S CLEARLY CORRECTIVE DARK SPOT SOLUTION

KIEHL'S CLEARLY CORRECTIVE DARK SPOT SOLUTION

Day 1: It’s a bit too soon to see any changes in my dark spots, but my skin looks beautifully bright at the moment. It must be doing something! I really like that this serum feels very light on my skin and works well when combined with other products. I love that the bottle is clear and that it has a dropper… I don’t want to waste a single drop.

Day 21: I have 3 stubborn dark spots on my forehead that does not seem to want to lighten (yet!), but I apply this serum all over and my skin appears a lot brighter and more even toned than before.

Day 28: It seems as though the pigmentation spots that I have on my forehead are lightening! I am very impressed. These spots didn’t just appear over night so I did not expect this serum to start making a difference in such a short amount of time. Overall my skin looks brighter and more even-toned. This is a winning product.

KIEHL’S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM

KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM

Day 1: I have a lot of love for this moisturiser. I was worried that it would be a bit much after already applying quite a few other products, but it provides just enough hydration without feeling heavy at all. I think this cream would work well for most skin types. It is awesome.

Day 21: I am still so in love with this cream. It is probably the ‘simplest’ of the 5 products I am currently testing, but it is so effective. My skin soaks it up and is left feeling calmed and soothed. This is a must-have! My sensitive skin loves it.

Day 28: It is safe to say that I have not used many face creams that I love quite as much as I love the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. It is such a simple product, yet it is so effective!! It is as though my face sighs with relief the moment this cream comes in contact with my skin. If you have sensitive skin, you will love it! I highly recommend this!
