L'oreal Nutri Gold Extraordinary Face Oil // Product Review

With age skin tends to become thinner, dehydrated and loses it's natural radiance. It was long time ago, but I remember watching some Hollywood red carpet interviews where Rita Wilson said how the most important, beauty related thing for a woman is to stay hydrated. Inside-out! That statement, for no particular reason, got stuck into my mind since then and I can tell that woman had right! Hydration is the key answer for nourished, radiant and healthy skin. And organism in general.

Today I want to share few thoughts about this little ''hydrating from the outside'' skin helper that comes in an oily form and that I've been using for months now. So today's post will be all about- L'oreal Nutri Gold Extraordinary Face Oil.

S godinama koža teži gubitku punoće, postaje tanja, dehidrirana i lagano gubi prirodan sjaj. Pre puno vremena, gledajući jednu od Holivudskih emisija u kojoj su intervjuisali zvezde crvenog tepiha, u misli mi se duboko urezala jedna izjava Rite Wilson koja je na pitanje o tajni lepe i negovane kože u 40-ima odgovorila kako je tajna u konstantnoj hidrataciji. Iznutra i iz vana. Ta njena izjava postala je moja mantra od kasnijih tinejdžerskih godina, pa sve do danas. Hidratacija je ključni odgovor na pitanje o tome kako postići negovanu, blistavu i zdravu kožu. I kompletan organizam u globalu. 

Danas bih sa vama podelila nekoliko misli o jednom od ''hidrirajućih iz vana'' pomoćnika za zdravu kožu koji dolazi u uljanoj formi i koji koristim više od dva meseca. Dakle, danas ćemo zajedno proći nekoliko zapažanja o proizvodu koji nosi ime- L'oreal Nutri Gold Extraordinary Face Oil.

Formula and Ingredients: This oil is a blend of 8 essential oils, made to help hydrate and brighten the complexion. There are some additional ingredients, but you'll read them on one of the photos below.

So, the main ingredients list looks like this:

• lavender oil- made from English lavender, helps calming the dry skin
• marjoram oil- made from marjoram leafs, contains antioxidants and vitamins
• rosemary oil- made from rosemary leafs, helps with micro circulation and prevents acne
• geranium oil- has astringent properties
• rose oil- made from rose petals, helps with fading scars
• chamomile oil- made from Roman chamomile, contains anti-inflammatory properties
• orange oil- made from orange peel, has anti-aging and skin glow properties
• lavandin oil- blend of English and French lavender

The packaging: is absolutely lovely. Golden/yellow toned glass bottle with incorporated dropper is elegant, yet so practical and easy to use. I love the fact this bottle was made of glass since all the ingredients are safely placed and all the properties of oils are saved. The dropper is very reliable and discharges the amount you want, without leakage.

Formula i sastojci: ovaj proizvod je mešavina 8 esencijalnih ulja, spojenih u cilju stvaranja ulja koje će pomoći u negi, hidrataciji i postizanju blistavog i zdravog tena. U sastavu se nalazi i nekoliko dodataka koje ćete moći videti na jednoj od fotografija ispod. Lista glavnih sastojaka izgleda ovako:

• ulje lavande- napravljeno od engleske lavande, pomaže u smirivanju suve, iziritirane kože
• ulje mažurana- nastalo iz lišća mažurana, sadrži antioksidanse i vitamine
• ulje ruzmarina- nastalo iz lišća ruzmarina, pomaže u boljoj mikrocirkulaciji kože, preventivno deluje na nastanak akni i smanjuje njihove ožiljke
• ulje geranijuma- ima snažno astrigentno delovanje
• ulje ruže- nastalo od ružinih latica, pomaže u smanjenju sitnih ožiljaka i nepravilnosti
• ulje kamilice- sadrži protiv-upalna svojstva
• ulje pomorandže- nastalo iz pomorandžine kore, sadrži anti-aging svojstva, pomaže da koža bude blistava i sveža
• ulje lavandina- dejstvom jednako kao i ulje lavande, nastalo mešanjem engleske i francuske lavande

Pakovanje: je apsolutno predivno. Zlatno/žuta bočica izrađena od stakla sa uključenom pipetom za doziranje proizvoda izgleda vrlo elegantno i praktično za upotrebu. Dopada mi se činjenica da se radi o staklenoj ambalaži, s obzirom da staklo sigurnije i dugotrajnije čuva uljane sastojke, bez da im menja svojstva. Pipeta/kapaljka je vrlo pouzdana i oslobađa onoliko proizvoda koliko želite, bez curenja i prosipanja. 

How to use/ Results after 2 months: So, considering its formula, this oil can be used in so many different ways. It's definitely essential part of my morning/daily and evening routine. In the mornings I would wash my face and drop 1/3 of the dropper (3-4 drops) on fingertips first, just to warm the oil a little bit and then I'd apply it onto my face, massaging it for a bit. I was applying it all over the face, around the eyes also, and never noticed any kind of irritation in this area- but you should be careful since the essential oils can cause irritations. Also, I was applying it sometimes on wet, sometimes on dry skin. It would absorb thoroughly and in short time, leaving the skin hydrated, radiant and lovely looking. Even though the formula is oily, this product absorbs like dry oil, leaving skin radiant, but not oily or greasy. My skin is combined, so this is very important part because I want healthy skin, but definitely not the one that will shine like a disco ball.

In the evening, after removing all the makeup and cleansing the skin, I would apply 1/2 of the dropper (up to 5 drops) onto skin, after which I'd be using regular moisturizer. Sometimes I would mix those two and apply them as one product.
If you have dry skin, recommendation is to mix your foundation with a drop or two of this oil to achieve more radiant, glow and healthy complexion, protecting your skin from the outdoor influences.
The scent of this oil is so gentle, yet it's there, you can smell the lavender. I kinda hate anything that has even a bit of lavender scent in it (it makes me dizzy, nauseous, seriously sick), but somehow they managed to blend the scents so well it doesn't attack my brain. Thank you L'oreal!

The results: are noticeable. So many people around me noticed the difference. And it wasn't about foundation at all. I mostly don't wear makeup while at home and the difference is that my skin is no more dull, looking tired or being dry on places. Instead it's velvety soft, dewy, without redness caused by the cold weather and looking better than ever. Of course, this is the result of well selected group of products for skin care, but this oil is one of the main products I've been using for months now. 

Upotreba proizvoda/ Rezultati nakon 2 meseca: Dakle, uzevši u obzir formulu, ovo ulje može se koristiti na nekoliko različitih načina. Definitivno je esencijalni deo moje jutarnje i večernje rutine nege kože. Ujutro, nakon što bih umila lice, nakapala bih 1/3 pipete (otprilike 3-4 kapi) na dlanove kako bih ulje prethodno zagrejala, a potom bh ga na lice nanosila kružnim pokretima, nežno masirajući kožu u cilju bolje cirkulacije i upijanja. Ulje sam nanosila na celo lice, kao i na okoloočni region pošto sam primetila kako me ne iritira niti izaziva ikakve probleme na osetljivom okoloočnom predelu- no molim vas da budete pažljivi, s obzirom da se radi o kombinaciji esencijalnih ulja koja inače umeju iritirati osetljivu i tanku kožu oko očiju. Ulje bih ponekad nanosila na tek umivenu, vlažnu kožu, a ponekad na prosušenu kožu. U oba slučaja proizvod bi se upio kompletno i vrlo brzo, ostavljajući kožu hidriranom, blistavom i mekanom. Iako je formula proizvoda uljana, način upijanja podseća me na suvo ulje jer je rezultat blistava, no nikako masna koža. Kako je moja koža kombinovana, ova informacija mi je vrlo važna jer želim zdravu, sjajnu kožu, ali se ne želim sijati poput disco kugle.

Uveče, nakon uklanjanja šminke i temeljnog čišćenja kože, ulje bih nanosila u nešto većoj količini, otprilike oko 1/2 pipete (do 5 kapljica) samostalno, ili bih ga kombinovala sa hidratantnom kremom.

Ukoliko je koža suva, dehidrirana i izljuspana, preporučuje se kapljicu do dve ulja pomešati sa omiljenom podlogom. Iako moja koža nije suva (osim na obrazima, pogotovo zimi) probala sam pomešati podlogu i ulje i kao rezultat dobila sam savršen dewy finiš, mekanu, glatku kožu bez osećaja zatezanja.

Miris proizvoda, iako nežan, prisutan je i bez problema se oseti lavanda. Moram vam priznati da taj miris inače ne podnosim, do te mere da me dovodi do ozbiljne mučnine, ali iz L'oreala su nekako uspeli uskladiti note, pa se lavanda oseti, ali ne guši i ne traje dugo nakon nanošenja. Uveče čak primetim da deluje umirujuće. Bravo L'oreal!

Rezultati: su primetni. Više ljudi u mojoj okolini primetilo je i komentarisalo razliku. Kako se trudim ne nositi šminku dok sam kod kuće, pa mi je lice ''na izvol'te'' primećena razlika odnosi se na odsustvo efekta umorne, beživotne kože bez sjaja. Umesto toga, moje lice je izuzetno mekano, nežno, sjajno i primetila sam da više nemam izraženog crvenila oko nosa, što je inače slučaj u zimskim mesecima. Naravno, kompletna promena rezultat je pomno odabrane skupine proizvoda, ali ovo ulje igra jednu od glavnih uloga, pa smatram da mu mogu poprilično zahvaliti na boljem i zdravijem izgledu.

Conclusion: I could highly recommend this product to all of you who are over 20, looking for good hydration and concrete skin nourishment. This oil is great to my combined skin making it look wonderfully better than before. The only ''dislike'' I have about this one is the price thing. I wanted to buy it last year, but the price was a bit over 20€ which was a lot (to me at that time) for 30ml, and as the alternative I've chosen face oil from brand Alverde which was so cheap, doing an amazing thing for my skin. The price thing with this one is a bit tricky- because you can find different numbers in different stores. They are varying from 8-20€, depending of the discount, price reductions during some actions... In any case- keep your eyes and catalogs open ;)
I bought mine in DM here in Croatia, while there was the action 2 under the price of 1, so I bought this oil and Oil-Cream from the same line for 120kn/around 16€. Which is great.

I simply love finding amazing products by acceptable price.

Now, I'd love you to write in the comments section below- have you tried this face oil and what's your experience with oils in skin care regimen so far?

Zaključak: Mogla bih od srca preporučiti ovaj proizvod svima vama koji ste napunili 20 godina i koji ste u potrazi za hidratacijom i konkretnom negom kože. Moja kombinovana koža je odlično prihvatila ovo ulje i izgleda bolje nego ikada. Jedino ''nesviđanje'' koje osećam glede ovog proizvoda je cena. Poželela sam ga kupiti još prošle godine kad sam ga ugledala na polici u Muller-u, no tadašnja cena od 20-tak € učinila mi se previsokom za 30ml drogerijskog ulja, pa sam mu pronašla izvrsnu alternativu kod brenda Alverde- čije je ulje za lice odradilo jednako odličan posao. Cenovni momenat kod L'orealovog ulja je po malo ''tricky''- može ga se pronaći na različitim mestima (drogerijama) u cenovnom rangu koji se kreće od 8-20€, ovisno o trenutnoj akciji, popustu. U svakom slučaju, pre kupovine preporučujem da dobro pregledate kataloge i držite oči širom otvorene ;)

Svoj primerak kupila sam u DM-u početkom godine, dok je bila aktuelna akcija 2 proizvoda po ceni jednog, tako da sam za 120kn/oko 16€ kupila i ulje i pripadajuću Oil kremu iz iste linije, što je odlična stvar!

Nisam škrta, ali posebno uživam u pronalaženju kvalitetne preparative po prihvatljivoj ceni :)

A sad mi pišite u komentarima, želim znati kakva su vaša iskustva s uljima za negu lica i imate li neko posebno koje preporučujete? Jeste li koristili L'orealovo Nutri Gold Extraordinary ulje?

Do narednog puta, budite dobri ;)
