Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Essence Oil Review

Hi beauties,

I have been eyeing this product since over a year now. Every time I went to the Estee Lauder counter, my eyes would automatically go towards this product. One reason being that this is a part of the “Nutritious” range, which has a wonderful pomegranate fragrance. I have used its moisturiser, and loved it to bits. Another reason is that the Estee Lauder SA has always been raving about this product. She even poured me a sample in a mini vial for me to try :P, she was so persistent. I used it, liked it, and bought the full size!

Price:
Rs. 4600/- for 30 ml product. I got the last piece at this price. Now, the prices have been further increased (Rs 5000/-) for 30 ml.

My Experience with Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Essence Oil:

In one word – entranced!

Packaging:  The product comes in a red color glossy box (as with all the products in the “Nutritious” range). All the instructions and ingredients are printed on the box. The oil comes in a long and narrow bottle, which is made of plastic and very easy to carry along with you. It has a dropper cap at the top, a beautiful golden color, which gives it an extremely luxurious look. The bottle has a very narrow opening, through which only the dropper can enter. The dropper is also very accurate, and will deliver the oil drop by drop only.  So, this 30 ml product is going to last me a long long time.

Color and Fragrance:  This is a transparent oil, having the most amazing pomegranate fragrance. I usually take 2-3 drops of this oil on my palm, rub my hands together and then apply it gently on my face, pressing it into the skin all the while. I do get a whiff of coconut oil after a few seconds when the pomegranate smell has settled down a bit. So, this product does have fragrance, and will not be suitable for those who do not like or are allergic to fragrance in their skin care products.

Consistency: This is an extremely lightweight facial oil, which can be used by almost everyone (except maybe the very oily skin types), especially at night times and in winters. It slides and gets absorbed easily into the skin, which might be due to presence of silicones in it. So again, if you are allergic to silicones, this one is not for you.

How I use it:

I have used it in many ways and have got excellent results every time. I use it on my bare skin instead of a serum and moisturiser at night. I have used it after adding a few drops in my night-time moisturiser. Since the weather has been humid, I really needed a matte foundation, which dries out my already dry skin. So, I had to really moisturise my skin well before putting on a matte/semi- matte foundation. I have observed that not all moisturisers work well with the foundation due to different textures. So, then I started using 2-3 drops of this facial oil on my bare skin and putting the matte foundation on top. I have never, ever, been so impressed with the results this method showed.

Results:

This oil is full of antioxidants and different types of oils. It is a lightweight oil which gets absorbed very easily. It has a beautiful pomegranate/coconut fragrance which I really love. It gives my face a nice radiant glow, every morning when I wake up. My face really feels very bright and glowing in the morning, even on days when I have not had enough sleep.

It is perfect to be used on its own, under a foundation or bb cream, or mixed with your moisturiser. The skin always feels soft and hydrated. I no longer have any dry patches on my skin which I usually have in this unpredictable weather. It has never broken me out or clogged my pores. I might need a bit more during winters (5-6 drops) maybe, but at present, I really do not need to slather my face with moisturiser every night. I am totally in love with this oil.

    1. U know Jomo… U have hit the nail right on the head. My work involves being constantly in operation theatres where the ac and the different gases suck out all vitality from the skin. Thats is why skin care is so important to me, even above makeup; coz without good skin, any makeup will look dull or piled up. This product really is like gold for my skin… Thank u for ur support dear

  1. Very well reviewed Arpita! Sounds absolutely lovely! I wish I could try this but my EL Store manager refuses to sell this to me – coz I have oily skin. I did tell her that I use Clarins face oil. But she insists – this is NOT for me!! ?

    1. Get hold of a sample kk; and if she refuses, carry a vial ( like those homeopathy medicine vials) with u and tell her to put some into it… Its u who are holding the purse strings… If u really like it… Esp in winters… Go for it… If she refuses, tell me and i will send u one…

  2. Hi, Arpita! Very nice review… I have been using this oil for a long time and can’t agree with you more! It makes my skin glowing and when I wear it underneath my foundation it glides on like a dream! I use Dior Flawless fusion wear foundation which used to leave my skin with dry patches but since the day I started incorporating it with my moisturizer underneath I never had that problem!

    1. Hey Ishita… Hi- five…. Glad to know you all got amazing results with this oil… This is really too good… Thnk u dear
