Review on Organic Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil by Leven Rose – 100% Pure, Cold Pressed, Unrefined Anti-Aging Acne Treatment for Hair, Skin, and Nails – 1 oz by Ericka Kuhn

Let me first say that up until April this year I had no major skin problems. Out of nowhere I got painful, deep, never-healing pimples around my jawline and clogged pores everywhere. It was a huge blow to my self esteem and social life and anyone with problem skin will know what I'm talking about. No matter what I did or how much makeup I wore, I never felt comfortable leaving my home. Every month I got the typical hormonal acne that I fought with a daily acne free wash and a little spot treatment that worked well BEFORE summer from hell. I read about what kind of acne I was developing and started drowning in water, witch hazel, turmeric masks, apple cider vinegar, self-tanner and anti-inflammatories. You name it, I've tried. Nothing helped. So I cried a lot and kept thinking about how to get "my” skin back. Use different combinations of oils and vitamins to cleanse the skin without causing permanent damage like acne scars and wrinkles (from drying out a pimple excessively or drying it out too quickly). He spoke about how oils affect the skin. One of his must-haves was sea buckthorn, so I ordered it along with evening primrose vitamins and castor oil. I started with a mixture of castor oil and sea buckthorn on the left side of my face and only sea buckthorn on the right side. Other than the amount of oil left on my skin, I didn't notice much of a difference. Castor oil is very thick and doesn't absorb well, but it doesn't irritate me either, so I still occasionally use it at night. Sea buckthorn oil is very moisturizing, to the point that my scars and scabs heal in a day or two (compared to weeks before oils). I still get clogged pores and the occasional breakout, but that's nothing compared to a month ago. I got a few small pimples compared to the huge deep pimples I had before. I will say get ready to be bold. Be prepared not to use makeup after applying it and be patient. I've been using it twice a day for a month and will continue to use it forever. Despite acne, my skin feels healthier than ever. It is soft and luminous and recovers quickly.
