I Tried The Oil With The 30,000 Person Waitlist. It Saved My Skin.

WHAT: Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil*

WHY: You may have heard about this oil. It’s won loads of awards but really went viral after Chrissy Teigen said it changed her life.

I am not Chrissy Teigen. I say this to mean I do not have the smooth, glowy, gorgeous, poreless, wrinkle-free skin of a goddess.

I am textured. Aging. Acne-scarred. Gaping-pored. And possibly actively breaking out as you read this.

Or maybe not.

Because I too have tried Le Prunier’s Plum Beauty Oil.* And I will agree with Mrs. Teigen and say it has also absolutely changed my life. I should probably say my skin, but same difference after we turn 40, no?

Before I go any further, I should tell you this article is not sponsored. I was sent one free bottle of Le Prunier’s oil by the brand to try and I plan on buying more with my own money for the rest of time. FYI: I am still on that first bottle because it lasts and lasts and lasts.

Now here is what it does:

1) It dramatically improves texture. Like someone has just steam ironed your skin. I noticed my skin was far smoother and suppler after a week or two and the lines around my eyes had diminished.

2) It brightens with the force of a 1,000 suns. Imagine a glowy, healthful tan that seems to come from inside you and without any UV damage. The glow is instant and insane.

3) It seals in moisture. There are loads of vitamins and antioxidants that maximize moisture levels in the skin. If you run dry or combination, it will transform the surface of your skin, and it does so without clogging pores or breaking you out. My skin felt quenched but also cleared up significantly when I started to use it.

4) It calms irritation. All that weird mix of red and purple, irritated and dry patches seem to magically vanish. My skin became way, way more even in the course of a couple weeks of use.

5) It protects the skin. The mix of vitamins, polyphenols, and omega fatty acids work together to protect the skin from free radical damage while also healing existing damage. My acne scars and blemishes particularly benefitted from this formula.

Naturally, Chrissy and I are not alone in loving this oil. Here are some examples of before and afters:

 
 

And just look at the glow:

 
 

So, what’s in it, you ask that makes it so distinctly effective? Honestly, I should have led with this. Here is the full ingredient list:

  • Organic Prunus Domestica Seed Oil

Right. Plum!

Plums are apparently full of anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidants, and natural hydrating ingredients that tackle wrinkles, fine lines, and irritation in the skin. The oil is natural, clean, and free from essential oils, parabens, sulfates, preservatives, added fragrance, and harsh chemicals. One note: it’s not for those who have a tree-nut allergy.

The scent, which celebs also rave about, is rich and delicate at the same time (much like a plum).

 
 

It can be used morning and night on clean skin. A few drops goes a very long way, and therefore, a bottle lasts a seemingly endless amount of time. I rub the remainder on my hands, which have had years taken off them since I started this routine. Apparently, you can also use it on the ends of your hair, though I’ve yet to try this, as my hair is very fine and stringy, so I fear pretty much any product. But that’s a story for another day. Today is all about my skin, which I’ve actually shown you in this very article, something I generally refuse to do, but I did this time because this oil is so astonishing. Did you spot it?
