Shea Terra Organics Madagascan Tamanu Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Oil | Acne Treatment, Anti-Aging, Vitamin E Oil| Dry/Mature Skin Types - 2 oz

I really needed this oil mainly for my pigmentation,uneven skintone& few acne Mark's as this oil is well known for it.& I didn't wanted to compromise on a cheaper quality.After reading few reviews I thought of giving it a try.Though it was very expensive but I was ready to pay the price if it was a genuine product.I can't tell you how happy I was when I recieved it.Its 100%pure Tamanu oil.It has that slightly greenish colour & that nutty smell that tamanu oil originally has.Really happy with the purchase.& its organic so obviously there aren't any additives.I apply it as dot dot on the required area & just tap it to absorb as I have acne prone combination skin & this oil is oilenic as well so for being on the safer side & avoid any breakouts I just do the spot treatment.Its been just a week since I've started using it, so will definitely update when I see results.I know it might take long but it'll definitely give me the results.Thanks Amazon & the seller for such original product.

Update - 11/27/12I ordered a second bottle and this one is very smooth. It also has a dropper lid instead of a pump, which works much better for this thick, creamy oil. I am still using it as a face moisturizer, and while my skin hasn't become perfect, it stays moisturized without adding awful chemicals to my skin, which I can't say for most other moisturizers.**************************************************************************************I've had this tamanu oil for three months now. I got it because I have very sensitive skin and it's natural and organic. The consistency of the oil has always been odd to me. It's oily but also grainy. Since this oil comes in a bottle with a pump, and the graininess clogs the pump, making it ineffective, I'm hoping mine is a fluke. For anyone else who's tried it, was it grainy for you?Using it to moisturize my face after a shower, it leaves tiny bits of the graininess all over my skin, which I have to wipe off once the oil's absorbed in. I don't like that part because it looks dirty and I wonder how much of the oil (& my money) is wasted in clumping/graininess. Still, I really like this oil and am willing to give it another shot to see if the graininess is atypical.Why I love this oil: I cut the tip of my thumb with a mandoline 5 days ago. It was fairly deep and in a slit/"v" shape. Gross, bloody, and painful. I used neosporin on it with a band-aid for the first 3 days (cleaning & changing at least 1x/day) with little change in the size of my cut and left it bare yesterday. Last night, I decided to try a little tamanu oil in place of neosporin. This morning, it looks like either side of the cut has begun growing back together so my thumb doesn't look like it's splitting in half down the middle. I am impressed. That's enough reason for me to buy another bottle once this one runs out. If the next bottle is grainy, I'll just return it and try another brand.

Let me just say...OUCH! I recently purchased this item and tried it the very day it arrived. I mixed/diluted it with jojoba oil which I recently purchased as well, applied my makeup and everything seemed fine until the evening. My face was slowly getting itchy and uncomfortable as the day went on but not unbearable. When I began taking off my makeup, my face started getting even more irritated but it calmed down once all my makeup was off. Like a dummy though I applied more tamanu oil (diluted with more jojoba oil) and a few minuted later, my face was unbearably itchy, red, and on FIRE! I couldn't get the pain to stop even after rinsing my face thoroughly and many times! It was burning so bad! All night my face felt completely uncomfortable and it wasn't until I washed it the next day that I started to feel a little bit better. It took another full day till the pain, irritation, and burning was gone. I must have gotten some on my ears because they were the most itchy of everything and looked as though they had hives on them. I'm pretty sure I had an allergic reaction to this oil and this is coming from someone who's not allergic to nuts (this oil comes from a nut) or much anything else. I was a big red-faced ball of burn! It hurt so bad! Also, the pump didn't work like at all. The oil was so thick and gooey. I should have known from that point. I don't even know if what I bought was what I really bought. Trust your gut people! Oh and I know for sure it wasn't the jojoba oil because I'm still using that today and it works wonderfully! It actually helped soothe my skin after the allergic reaction. I just wanted to tell you all this so that you take precautions in buying something your skin is not used to having on it. Heed this warning and beware of who you are buying from. Don't believe all the hype and be careful with new skin products. Amazon was very cooperative with my return/complaints however. The seller never con

november 30, 2014 update: amazon notified me about a comment left on this review. it was shea terra organics saying they were sorry about how the product arrived. they just happened across my review and wanted to apologize and send some good product out at no charge. what i have learned from this experience is that in addition to writing a review, i should have contacted the manufacturer directly about the experience and not have assumed as i did that they would know about it. the original review is below with a qualification at the end. it always surprised me that i never heard back about this, and now i know why. since the situation has been righted, i am increasing my stars to three from one, because things can happen and manufacturers should not be villianized over mistakes when they correct them in good faith. the original order still gets one star. the contact gets five stars, so i averaged the stars to three.There was a hint of a problem before opening the envelope, as it was oily, so I knew the bottle must be leaking. It was worse than that; the black cap appears to have dissolved right inside the envelope. I read a review of this product that described this exact thing, but ordered it anyway because most of the other reviews were good. What a shame, as not only do I now have to make the effort to return it, i have to re-order and wait for another, hopefully better product to arrive. How old must this have been to have dissolved the cap, or rubber inside the bottle, or whatever black stuff is dissolved in there, that is actually LETTING THE OIL LEAK OUT? This is the single most disgusting buying experience I have ever had. :) And there isn't much else to do but laugh and be grateful that it arrived as it did, so i didn't use any of it! Don't get me wrong, tamanu nut oil is terrific. I have used tamanu nut oil in the past, and will continue to use it, but not from Shea Terra Organics or their seller ToysNGamesEtc. [11/30/14 insert: i rescind my comments about Shea Terra the manufacturer, but not about ToysNGamesEtc because as the seller, they must have known about my return as well as this review and they not only never contacted me but apparently did not advise the manufacturer of the problem.]

So thick I couldn’t even get it out of the bottle . I had to take the lid off and when I did the tube that goes to the squirter is so crooked it wouldn’t come out. The oil was so thick I couldn’t get it out of the bottle. I don’t know if I just got a bad bottle or what but no, I wouldn’t recommend.
