Aesop Damascan Rose Facial Treatment: A Delightful Luxury Oil Review

Purchased by me (Affiliate Links)

Were it not terribly obvious already, I would take pause to proclaim my unmitigated delight in luxury beauty oils. My tastes run wide and deep, and nothing delights me more than the discovery of yet another extraordinary elixir. My choices are far from limited to those types specifically intended for my particular skin type. In fact, I often find favorites in those designed for skin types quite different from my own. This was certainly the case with the Aesop Damascan Rose Facial Treatment, a luxurious oil intended for dry and distressed skin, neither of which describes my decidedly combination skin. In fact, I was given generous samples of this delectable oil and their wildly popular Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Facial Treatment, and I fell madly in love with the Damascan Rose Facial Treatment immediately. I savored every last drop, and knew that I had to have a full size bottle.

Aesop describes this beautiful concoction as,

"a concentrated nourishing treatment for extremely dry or distressed skin. Ten precious plant extracts in this concentrated botanical oil deliver potent doses of Vitamins E and A to nourish, relieve and deeply hydrate parched skin."

Aesop's Damascan Rose Facial Treatment is undoubtedly a very deeply nourishing and moisturizing face oil that will do wonders for dry and/or distressed skin, but it has also done incredible things for my normal/combination skin as well. It is a very concentrated, vitamin infused treatment oil that serves as a potent remedy for skin that needs intense hydration, but is so gentle and nourishing that my skin happily drinks it up and is left soft, supple, glowing, balanced, and very moisturized. I only need a couple of drops that I warm between my hands before massaging it into my slightly damp and warm face, neck and décolleté. It sinks in immediately and effortlessly, and it has an intoxicatingly hypnotic warm earthy rose scent that simply delights the senses. It is neither too rich for my skin, nor has it caused me to break out in the least. It just makes my skin look and feel amazing.

One glance at the list of ingredients tells the story of a deeply hydrating antioxidant and vitamin rich luxury oil that hydrates, soothes, replenishes, nourishes, and illuminates the skin.

Ingredients: Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Tocopherol, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Oil, Viola Odorata Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Beta-Carotene, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, d-Limonene, Farnesol, Eugenol.

For added hydration and a gorgeous glow, I add a few small drops to my foundation or tinted moisturizer. At night I even add an extra drop into my night cream, and when I wake up my skin has a pronounced clarity, fine lines are softened and plumped, and my skin looks more rested and balanced.  Furthermore, it leaves my skin with a gorgeous ethereal glow that is alone worth the price of admission!

Overall assessment: An obsession worthy luxury beauty oil, to be sure! While it is intended for dry and distressed skin-- it does wonders for my combination skin. This is my first bottle, but definitely won't be my last!
