It doesn't come with a dropper, and the opening is quite huge. Meaning the oil doesnt cmoe out in drops!
I tried so gingerly and carefully to pour it, but out came at least 1 ml!!
what a waste! the oil also dripped at the sides of the bottle and now there is too much oil on my hands and face.
How do you guys mange to pour only 2 drops each time! Need help urgently |

| Maybe just buy a dropper at the drug store. Just make sure you store it in a way to keep it clean, and uncontaminated. |

Haha tynkerbell I was wondering the same thing. I asked for a sample from EDS and my order arrived today!! Yay  I want to pretend I'm sick so I can go home from work and play with all my new products  . Anyway, I was wondering, could someone tell me exactly what to do with the ylang ylang oil? My understanding is that I put it on my oily, congested areas BEFORE my moisturiser? Is that right? And it should be good for reducing pore size? Do I still use my toner as well  |

Hi, there! 
I used to apply it on bare skin after I cleansed and toned *before* I applied my moisturizer or the matching Ylang Ylang Balm. |

| But how do you drop it in 2 drops? For those of you who have it already. You mean you have to buy a seperate dropper? :0 |

| I place my finger over the bottle opening, tip the bottle upside down and then back up again, carefully remove my finger from the opening and then repeat on another finger. Then I have my two drops of oil. |

I'm hoping to purchase this oil too... Any hints would be much appreciated.
I've examined the bottles and am wondering if you can buy droppers narrow enough to fit through the opening?
How do you ylang ylang fans apply it? |

| I used to use this and I applied it like Toe - put my finger over the opening and tipped the bottle upside down, then repeat on another finger - this leaves MORE than enough for your whole face! |

Get some oil onto your fingers (using the method that Lucia and I use ) then warm the oil gently by placing your two fingers against the opposite fingers on your other hand and gently rub them together. While your face is still damp from your toner, gently sweep your fingers over your face. Using the oil while your face is still wet from the toner will help the oil to spread further over your face. |

| Same as lucia and Toe, finger over the top and tip. Get a drop on two fingers of the same hand, massage into with opposite fingers and theres plenty to do your whole face |

Don't you just hate it when that happens - when I first got a sample of Dr Hauschlka Normalising Day Oil, I was holding the full bottle minus the top and pre-ocupied my hand fell to one side and the whole bottle just drained onto the floor  With all the "nooooooo" you would have thought something major had just happened
The other half thought I had lost it trying to scoop it up and rubbing it into my legs 
I also had a bottle of very expensive body lotion that smelt divine of almond and vanilla so I hoarded it away, saving it for best, when I finally reached for it the whole lot had gone off, I was gutted. |

oh no. srry about that rosebud :*(
but oh well, no use crying over spilt oils. lol
thanks for yur tips everyone. will try that soon enough.
btw, i don't really find its healping to control my oiliness, perhaps because i've only used it one day. bbut from the other forum threads, i kind of read the the results were instantaneous. guess i was hoping for too much of a miracle. |

| I saw results with ylang ylang after one week, it was used with the ylang balm as the essential one did nothing for me. i'm now totally on decleor: hydra mat and ylang oil in the morning, and ylang balm at night. there's definitely an improvement in pore size: blackheads are smaller and i'm hoping that Dr H CC will help to get rid of all the gunk although it made my skin break havoc :/ |

| cherbearvx - sounds like we have similar skin types... what other products do you use? i have trouble finding things that help balance out my combo skin without making it more sensitive or causing breakouts. |
