Oh yes, the original price for the oil is ¥1365 Yen for 60 mL and ¥945 Yen for 40mL you can check it on the website, here. I used my computer currency conventer, but you can use Yahoo one, here.

$25 for 2 oz!! Eep! That's great, you've found it!

 

[lummerz]

For those who use it on their faces, do you dilute it with anything else...like jojoba oil? or do you apply it directly on your skin?

I just don't know if it has the same effect with your japanese camellia oil. I also use Silkia camellia oil bought from GoldportBeauty. I love it! It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. It faded my post acne brown marks quite fast and is filling in some of my icepick acne scars. Some fine lines I had are less noticeable after a couple of months. It's $15 for 2 oz and lasts me about 4 months. I've tried jojoba oil, olive oil and rose hip oil and in my experience this camellia oil is better.

It's widely available here in Japan. It cost around $12 USD for 60mL and $9 USD for 40mL.

Here's the Japanese official website for the product.

Hey Leony can I oder from this site, Don't understand the language how do I know how much it costs?? Help??

The Oshima Tsubaki camellia oil, it's in the haircare section - is it fine to use on your face? I mean, there aren't any ingredients in there for hair, just the camellia oil, right?

 

[blondie36]

ok ladies , i just found it cheap @ garden of wisdom

 

[StereoXGirl]

Is this sold in stores anywhere in the U.S., or do we have to order online? I'm interested in trying it.

 

[patsluv]

I've bought jojoba oil from stores but have never seen any camellia oil. I ordered it from goldportbeauty.com. I also ordered olive and rose hip oil online in the past.

 

[lummerz]

Personally, i never seen it in stores..just online sites..the popular site for Camellia oil is eBay: Classic Japanese 'OSHIMA TSUBAKI' 100% Camellia Oil (item 250029815031 end time Nov-15-06 03:39:53 PST)

Apparentally you can buy them everywhere if you live in japan..they are quite popular

It is expensive but it will last you for ages and it's great for anywhere you wanna put on your body except eyes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lemme know if this is of any help..

 

[StereoXGirl]

I wish it was sold in stores near my house...that would be a lot easier. lol. *sigh* Oh well...

I don't think you can order it from the Japanese website. But, I think you can find it on Ebay. Check this post for the original price in Japan.

But, if you worried of breaking out, just use it for hair and body moisturizer.

I also use the Silkia camiella oil from goldportbeauty. I use it every night and it has helped to fade my acne scars. In the winter I use it twice a day. I also use it on my legs. I use it after I wash my face when my skin is still damp.

 

[4getmeNot]

I have some but I don't use it regularly..maybe I should. I just think the oil might make my oily skin worse!

 

[amyrawrr]

I'm interested in using camellia oil after reading about it in a post on this beauty blog called Into the Gloss...I was just wondering, for the people for whom this was beneficial, what kind of skin types do you guys have? Thanks!

 

[patsluv]

I have normal skin on cheeks but my nose and forehead are oily. I've been using this oil from goldportbeauty.com for a long time without any issues.
