Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil Reviews

I've always been a bit apprehensive about trying a facial oil, but I've had lots of positive experiences with Jurlique in the past so thought I would give this one a go when I received a number of samples, particularly as I have very dry skin over winter.

The oil is quite runny as you would expect, and has a mild and pleasant fragrance. It has a slight yellow-tint to it, which isn't noticeable on application. Unfortunately I found it really difficult to get the right amount for my skin (either too much or not enough) and then more often than not my skin felt oily for the rest of the day.
Overall, my skin felt soft and smooth once the oiliness had worn off. After using for a number of weeks I was unable to see any noticeable difference in the appearance of fine lines or skin texture.

Jurlique Purely Age Defying Firming Face Oil is housed in an amber glass bottle with a dropper. The oil is yellow, but once it is massaged into the skin, it is colourless. Firming Face Oil has a scent that is so subtle that I barely noticed it. Sometimes the skin on my face is sensitive to fragrance (especially synthetic), and it lets me know this upon application of a product or a few pimples the next day. Firming Face Oil contains fragrance from natural essential oils, but I didn't experience sensitivity.

I can appreciate why Lucrecia629 said that she didn't like Firming Face Oil because its first few ingredients (safflower oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sunflower oil, macadamia oil) could feel heavier on the face compared to something like rosehip oil.

I have dry skin and I'm in my early fifties, so my face loves facial oils. I used Firming Face Oil on my face, neck and décolletage. I occasionally added a drop of Firming Face Oil to Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream (sometimes it didn't feel adequately hydrating).

The 50 ml bottle of Firming Facial Oil lasted me quite a while. After using up the bottle, I have not noticed any reduction of wrinkles. The product contains retinyl palmitate, but it is at the end of the list of ingredients, so there probably isn't a high percentage of it. I also have not noticed any increased skin firmness. For that to occur, I think you'd have to have cosmetic procedures such as Thermage, laser, dermal fillers etc. The only benefit that I noticed was softer skin; and it was a different sort of softness compared to when I use rosehip oil.

I've used oils on my face before with great results, but this one is by far the worst I've ever seen. It's a very poor example of a face oil. This is a very thick, dark, almost sticky oil. I used it as directed and it makes my face feel as though it is literally coated in oil! My skin feels smothered. It is not pleasant at all. Even added to moisturiser, it's just too oily! I would massage this into my cuticles, but never again will I put it on my face. I can't think of a single beauty product I have ever hated, until now. If you think this oil is for you, ask for a sample packet first. It reads like it would be really good, but in my opinion - epic fail!
