Patyka Huile Absolue Face & Body Serum

Was recommended by my niece who lived in Geneva and although it is expensive, I really like this serum.

I have been using this product for years. I tend to have oily skin and so I apply a very small drop to my face alone or before I apply my foundation. It is not greasy and leaves my skin supple.

I just received my shipment and the expiration date of the serum is 1/24/24. With a dosage of a drop or two a day, there’s no way that I can finish using this product before it expires. I was excited to try this serum as it was recommended highly by a friend, but not sure i want to use an expired product so may be returning it.

Moisturizes and rejuvenates skin surface on face and body, cuticles and fingernails; absorbs instantly producing soft, smooth, firm skin surface. If using on the face, take care to keep aware from eyes as the oil may cause irritation. The scent is herbal / medicinal, rather than floral; this makes for a gender-neutral effect. The packaging is basically good: clear glass (not dark glass might be better to protect against degeneration caused by exposure to light), pump bottle dispenses 1 or 2 drops to avoid waste or contamination by contact between fingers and the contents. Overall, a good product, but it is overpriced and the above considerations (causes eye irritation, clear glass does not protect against light exposure, etc.) mitigate a future purchase. There are many skin oils on the market, often organic "clean" composition that provide effective moisturizing and absorption, and are also competitively priced.

I've tried all the serums. This product not only hydrates but if I get a little pimple, it's gone in a day. My skin feels more supple and glows. My husband and I both use it everyday.
