I Applied Oil on My Face for 3 Weeks and Experienced a Glow I’ve Never Seen Before

Ask anyone in Southeast Asia that lives in a hot and humid climate, chances are they avoid applying oil to their face.

“Wouldn’t it just make my skin greasy or worse, clog my pores?”, we often hear our readers question.

Yet, modern skincare keeps evolving, and the new wave of facial oils promised benefits we can’t ignore balanced hydration, improved radiance, and even sebum regulation. To put the myth to rest, we gave the new Nuxe Merveillance Lift Firming Activating Oil-Serum a whirl for three weeks. Read on to see how we really feel about it, along with before-and-after photos!

Trying the Nuxe Merveillance Lift Firming Activating Oil-Serum

Nuxe has been synonymous with high-quality botanical body and facial oils. The brand is especially well-known for its multi-purpose oil, which holds the title of No. 1 dry oil in French pharmacies and one is sold every seven seconds!

A quick search for genuine user-generated reviews on platforms like TikTok and Xiao Hong Shu will reveal many glowing testimonials about Nuxe’s range of oils.

Its newest innovation – Nuxe Merveillance Lifting Firming Activating Oil-Serum – is formulated with the Ultra-corrective Micro-Algae oil, along with four complementary botanical oils. Together, they strengthen the skin’s internal structures, while nourishing skin so it looks more supple.

Week 1: First Impressions

I’ll be honest – I wasn’t expecting to love it. I anticipated a slick, heavy layer of oil that would leave me shiny and uncomfortable.

But from the first application, I was pleasantly surprised. The texture was light, almost silky, and it absorbed quickly without leaving any residue.

My skin didn’t feel suffocated; in fact, it felt softer and more comforted almost immediately. It was as though the oil was sinking in to nourish my skin from within, rather than just sitting on the surface.

Still, I had concerns about how my skin would react over the next few days. I kept a close watch for any signs of clogged pores or breakouts, but my skin seemed to adapt well. After a few days, my complexion felt noticeably more hydrated, with dry patches starting to fade.

Week 2: Noticing Subtle Changes

Moving into Week 2, I began to see subtle but promising changes. My skin appeared plumper, and there was a hint of a glow that I hadn’t noticed before.

I received compliments from friends and family who remarked that my complexion looked “healthier” and “more radiant” – a nice confirmation that the oil was working its magic.

There’s an increase in hydration, with skin texture appearing smoother and more even.

Compared to Week 1, the progress was evident, and the glow I was starting to see wasn’t just in my head.

Week 3: The Transformation

By the third week, the transformation was undeniable. My skin looked and felt significantly better than it did before I began this journey.

The radiance that had been building over the past few weeks was now even more apparent – my complexion had a natural luminosity that was noticeable even without makeup. The texture was smoother, and areas that once suffered from dryness had evened out.

I occasionally incorporated a gua sha tool into my routine, using it to massage the oil into my skin for a lifting and firming effect. The oil provided the perfect slip for this technique, making the experience even more luxurious and effective.

Comparing the results from Week 1 to Week 3, the difference was striking. Hydration levels had increased significantly, and the before-and-after photos revealed a more radiant, smooth, and plump complexion, as well as a slightly lifted facial contours.

Conclusion?

After three weeks of consistent use, I can say with confidence that my skin has undergone a visible transformation.

It’s smoother, more hydrated, and has a healthy glow I haven’t seen for a long time. I also witnessed subtle firming and toning results from the product – everything I’m looking for in an anti-ageing product.

The oil is fast-absorbing, non-greasy and non-sticky, making it suitable for all skin types, although those with drier skin will definitely appreciate it a lot more.

I love that it has a subtle floral scent – freesia and magnolia, on a powdery base of white musk – making every application a sensorial experience that I can’t get enough of.
