Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil

What it is:An antiaging botanical blend that works to provide serious hydration and protection against free radical damage for all skin types. What it does:Tsubaki Beauty Oil hydrates and replenishes, leaving skin smoother, softer, and more supple. An excellent source of fatty and omega 3 acids, this soothing oil prevents premature signs of aging by defending the skin against free radical damage. Wakame (Japanese sea kelp) repairs past damage by replenishing protein and helps support natural collagen production. Rice bran oil restores the look of skin for a glowing, gorgeous complexion with its lightweight, non-greasy texture. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates - Phthalates What else you need to know:Tsubaki (Camellia) oil has been an essential part of Japanese beauty rituals for centuries. Japanese women, well-known for their flawless skin, would traditionally nourish and protect their skin with native Tsubaki oil, which is naturally fast-absorbing, hypoallergenic, and always non-comedogenic. In addition to its potent skincare benefits, Camellia oil is responsible for the iconic smoothness of the geisha and samurai hairstyles of the past. Camellia oil is harvested from the Shizuoka region of Japan - a short distance from Yokahama, the birthplace of boscia, where the coastal fog causes camellias to grow extremely slowly, concentrating the antioxidants and aromas. The flowers and leaves are steam-dried, which produces camellia oil by cold pressing the seeds and preserving the tremendous skin protection and antiaging benefits found in our formula.

I found that this worked well for my sensitive acne skin. I think at your age it would be a perfect additional to your routine. It was not moisturizing enough for me in my mid 40s.

Question
Is it used with another moisturizer or without?
Is this a moisturizer in itself or is it better to use another moisturizer on top of it? I am planning on cleansing my skin, using a toner, serum and then a moisturizer . . . Is this in addition to that kind of routine or does it act as the moisturizer? Thank you

You really can use a few drops of this alone but I use a serum first after cleansing and toning then I use this as my last step. The Beauty Oils are used as the last step. This is a surprisingly light oil.

I use this at night after toner and boscia breakout serums and before my moisturizer. It has worked really well for me using it this way.

I would say this would replace or act as a moisturizer. I use it as a nighttime moisturizer after washing my face. It's really nice and lightweight, yet I have had dry skin this winter and it has worked wonders on it. I think if you added anything on top of it, it would be too much.

From what I have read and heard you use it underneath your moisturizer. I assume during summer months it might be ok to use alone.

Question
Tsubaki Oil vs. Maracuja Oil
I have read the reviews that have been posted and I have tried and really like Tarte's Maracuja Oil. I am a bit of a product junkie though, and love trying new beauty products. Has anyone used both? Which one would you consider better? I have oily/combination skin with hormonal breakouts. Would the Tsubaki Oil be better durung the day and Maracuja at night, or is one just superior?

Marula Pure Marula Facial Oil is far superior, I noticed immediate and lasting , improving results (and I only had a sample!) I should have spent the extra money on the Marula.

That is exactly what I do! I use this lighter oil during the day (the bottle is generous) and I use the Tarte Maracuja oil at night. This oil is great for the body too because it absorbs well.

Believe it or not, i actually use it the way you do!! I use Maracuja at night because i would rather have it do the firming and smoothing action over night and i think that Tsubaki is a little lighter than the maracuja so I use that during the day!! I have the same skin type as you and my skin hasnt been as oily as it used to be.

Question
How does this compare to the argan?
I use the argan oil every morning after my glycolic acid serum. I used 10-15 drops and let it soak in because I have extremely oily AND dry skin. I cant use normal creams because they make my face look like an oil slick! Somehow the oil balances out the oils in my skin. I just saw this and was wondering how it compares to the argan oil? Is it as hydrating?

It is mainly Jojoba oil, which is excellent for acne-prone skin and is very hydrating. You only need about four drops of it for your entire face, so it will last a long time, too!

The tsubaki oil has a lighter texture than the maracuja. It's still very hydrating and nourishing, though.

Question
What step of my routine should this oil be?
I usually use an anti-aging serum, eye cream and moisturizer. I've had some dry spots pop up that just won't go away so I wanted to add this oil, but I don't know if I should apply it before the above items or right before my moisturizer. Or could this even take the place of my serum? I would love not to have so many steps, but the serum seems to give me some firmness that had been lacking before.

Try running the top under warm water for about a minute then attempt to open the bottle. It sounds like the product may have sealed itself.
