Karin Herzog Vita-a-kombi Oil,(0.5 oz.)

This is a excellent oil in the winter time or if you have dry skin. It soaks into the skin and leaves it soft and glowing.

Clogged my pores. After two uses I had to deal with 3 huge whiteheads. The product left my skin dry and flaky.

Very good oil for sensitive skin. Helps with skin breakouts and dry skin.

great for sensitive skin and helps with break outs

great product

My first impressions of the look of this product were not appealing. The sticker on the bottle simply claims that it is a facial oil with an ingredients list and doesn't do much to make it feel special. That may sound odd, but this is a premium brand with the high price tag to go with it and I would have liked something with a little more quality feel. I tried pealing off the sticker, but was left with the residue so put it back on. Bizarrely, the same information looks to be printed onto the bottle, so makes me wonder for the need of a sticker in the first place?I'm in my mid-20's and use a day moisturiser that I have had to continue using with the oil. I suffer with dry skin that is greasy in the T-zone. I was concerned that applying more oil to my face would make this worse. In this I was pleasantly surprised, as the oil absorbs really well into the skin and I've been rubbing the little excess oil into my hands in an attempt to get rid of the dry skin between my fingers. This hasn't been effective, but it is advertised as a facial oil, so this hasn't influenced my review.The first week of using this I was really disappointed as after applying the oil at night I awoke to very dry skin and didn't see any improvements. So much so that I did stop using it for a couple days.I however wanted to give the product a fair review, so started using it again.I have now been using it for three weeks and am finally starting to see and feel a difference. I have even received compliments on my skin condition from two separate people on different days, who are unaware that I am using this product. I do find this surprising, as to me the effect of the oil doesn't seem to have changed me that much, yet clearly others have noticed and perhaps I'm just being far too critical of myself!I am using about three drops of oil a night. A drop in my case not being a full pump. In this time I have used about a fifth of the bottle. A criticism I would have of the pump is that a full one tends to be too much on the fingers at once and it can be a little difficult to judge to begin with. The best way to apply the oil is a small amount on the fingers and then dab it onto the face before massaging in. If you massage to start with you will end up needing more and have an uneven coverage.The oil makes your face feel especially nice after a shower and I have been applying after every shower, regardless of the time of day as well as night.I do feel like the feel of my face has improved and I have seen some improvement to the dry skin that I have had around my nose for months. I read somewhere (possibly on the Karin Herzog website) that the oil is also good for lips, but I haven't had any luck here and am still suffering with chapped lips.In terms of any anti-wrinkle effects I haven't seen any improvements there, and despite my age I do have wrinkles upon my brow, around the eyes and the bridge of my nose, possibly caused by years of dry skin, but nothing too excessive. I get the impression that this product is meant to be used in preparation for other products in there range though, but can not claim either way if it actually helps in that regard.Overall I am a little unsure about this oil. I will continue to use it until it is all gone, but I am unsure on if I would purchase any more at this point. I feel reassured that I am doing a small something to nourish my skin before the onset of any major wrinkles, but haven't seen that drastic an affect as of yet to really justify the price tag. If by the end of the bottle I have continued to see improvements in my skin condition then I would certainly consider buying more, but at this point in time I am not so sure and would hesitate to recommend this oil unless you have already tried cheaper alternatives.
