Lavender Oil

I love lavender oil. I put a couple drops directly on acne spots at night along with a little tea tree oil. I don't dilute, my skin is tough. It calms the inflammation right down and helps me relax too. It doesn't really keep me from getting acne, but it does calm down the spots I do have.

I purchased my at Fred Meyer for $10. Its in organic section. Its so worth it. It kills acne so fast, I can't believe. it. I already tried numerous products, you name it, I will tell you the process I used that product. Everything, either they work very little or not at all and have to wait long time. Lavender oil is the best!. You should definitely try for your acne, you will be very glad.

Seriously guys make sure that you try this on your jawbone or somewhere that isn't as noticeable first, instead of your cheeks or forehead. I tried Lavender Oil mixed with Olive Oil (on my jawbone) and it made a bunch of little bumps come up, I immediately washed it off with cold water and put Aloe Vera Gel on it. It went away shortly after. Since everyone's skin is different, I do not think it is a good idea to try Lavender Oil without testing on your skin first to see how it reacts.

I tried lavender oil after reading the wonderful reviews here and am very disappointed. It seems to work at first but I soon realized it wasn't doing anything for my acne, just making my bumps go away and as soon as I wash the stuff off my face, my zits pop back up and my skin is bumpy again. It did nothing to reduce redness in my face either.

I used lavender oil for a few weeks and it works better at drying up pimples than most creams. It also works fast for the most part. The only problem I had with it was the odor. It is very very strong and very hard to deal with. If you have it on people will know and I didn't find the odor so pleasant. I would also be careful using it because of how potent it is. Try it on a small area of your face for a few days before using it all over because you could have a reaction to it. I would give it a try I guess but you will probably find as I have that it will be a pain to use everyday.

I never post reviews but Lavender Oil really helped me so much that I want other people to try it too. Im 25, struggled with acne since I was 19/20 on and off, sometimes really cystic, sometimes just pimples, but always something and nothing would work really long term. I got into essential oils a few months back and randomly applied 3 drops of lavender oil mixed with a few drops of almond oil (which also calmed my skin, now I changed it to the Khadi Pink Lotus oil and it got even better) and applied it in the morning and evening. After three days I could really see such a big difference in not only the size of the pimples but also the redness and the overall quality of my skin. After a month and a half my skin was the clearest I ever had since starting to break out. Unfortunately I ran out of the lavender oil and had to wait for my order to arrive (5 days) and my skin immediately started breaking out again. After the oil arrived, it only took two nights to calm it down again, I'm so surprised and happy. So for me it is clear that I was really the oil that made the big change and not other factors like water, diet, stress levels etc. So, please try out this method and I really hope that it helps you as much as it helped me. I don't know if it makes a difference which brand you use but I personally use the Primavera one (European brand, don't know if you can get it everywhere). Good luck to everyone on their skin journey.

I tried organic, extra virgin, coconut oil and I had terrible breakouts. Tea tree did not work for me either. Lavender by itself seems to be working. I have only used it a week, but it has taken newly started cystic acne down in one night and gone the second! I use a q-tip and dab it on. Have not seen any excessive redness, yet.

I apply lavender oil on any spots after washing my face thoroughly. I sometimes apply it all over my face to prevent acne. If I feel a pimple coming out, I apply it and it prevents it from coming out. If I have a pimple, I apply it and it does it's job the next day and within a few days, no pimple. In the Beginning the lavender oil may be too strong if you apply all over your face but your skin will get use to it and it will thank you for it. This is really one of the few essentials oils you can apply all over your face. Not all essentials oils are good for your face BUT lavender essential oil is. I also use frankincense oil and rose hip seed oil. But lavender oil is great by itself. It's so strong yet it still protects your skin. So is frankincense and rose hip seed oil. I have clear glowing skin. Something I've always wanted. Inexpensive. Natural. And with so many other benefits.
