Sunday going into Monday I had barely slept. I never do, stupid insomnia... So, upon getting home, I poorly decided to take a shower and then a "quick" nap. Naturally, I woke up at 9:30pm and was awake till 4am 
Now, the point of this all is that after showering, I merely patted on some of the Ylang-Ylang and didn't apply anything else till waking up at 7 this morning. I overslept, naturally and was panicking about having to wash my face or take a shower as no matter what I usually put on the night before, be it BHA or moisturizer, my face is a greasy mess.
Not today, however. The best way I can describe how my face looked and felt was... normal. Normal like how a 10 year old wakes up. Skin neither matte nor dewy, just, happy and ready to go. I put my hair up in a ponytail, put on some of the fantastic new Healthy Tint foundation from Neutrogena and I was good to go.
Huzzah to you, Decleor!  |

I totally forgot about how wonderful Decleor products are until I read your post! I used to be a devoted fan of the Ylang Ylang Arromessence and Balm. I have oily acne prone skin and it did the same thing for me as it did for you. It gave me soft, healthy, glowing skin. I found that I had to limit my use of it to about 2 times a week, though, because I still needed to make sure to use BP treatments more often because of my very acne prone skin. But as a weekly/bi weekly supplement, it was wonderful on my skin. Glad to hear it works so well for you, too!  |

| Actually, with all these great reviews of the Ylang Ylang oil, it makes me wonder about the balm... If you were going to get just one product - the balm or the oil - which one would it be? |

| Both the oil and balm are great but if I had to choose 1 it would definitely be the oil as you could use this both morning and night. I use oil in the morning followed by moisturiser and balm on it's own before bed. If I'm travelling I use the oil morning and night to save space. The balm takes a lot longer to sink in so you wouldn't be able to apply your make-up for a long time after appying the balm. |

| I have both and I have to say that I prefer the oil. Prefer it so much, in fact, that I’m looking to put my Y-Y balm up for adoption! I have the jumbo-size jar (the $60USD size), and it’s about 2/3 full. If anybody wants it, all I ask is that you pay for the cost of shipping....PM me if you want to work something out. |

Hello, Mabsy!
ITA with Carekate and Joom, I would definitely go with the oil! It absorbs quite nicely and works well on its own. |

Hi all,
My Decleor ylang ylang oil has been sitting in my cabinet for as long as I can remember, even after reading all the rave reviews, cause I tried it ONCE, and it broke me out. Last night, I was in the mood for adventure, so I gave it another try, I also got NEW instruction of how to apply treatment oil on my face from a Clarins lady. She told me to better mix the oil with equal amount of toner(non-alcohol) or serum, before pressing it on the face, I heard it somewhere before too, that you should apply the oil when your face is a little damp, so it can spread out evenly and get absorbed better, basically same idea. So I mix 2 drops of the YY oil with my homemade vitC serum(pure vitC crystal and rosewater), then I also dug out a sample of the YY balm, used just a LITTLE, WOW, I could feel the difference immediately. I woke up with much calmer and decongested skin. I have only used it for one day, so I haven't experienced the "DRYING-OUT" effect that some people on MUA mentioned (Don't want that to happen, I don't have oily skin).
I can say I like the YY balm more than the essential balm, can't put it in words, but I can feel the difference, YY has more cleansing effect on my skin, but I am planning to alternate btw the 2. Not to mention, I FLEW to Sephora today to get the full size YY balm.
