1. How long will this last?

The OC Trial Kits are a miniature size of our Mini Rituals for different skin types so it is designed to give you a feel and experience of our formulations for roughly 21 days. 

2. My skin is dull. When will I see a difference?

Dry skin is often dull due to the lack of moisture. Once you start using this kit twice a day you will notice a subtle glow in a week - 10 days. However, please be consistent to see a real glow and radiance and use the kit for 2-3 months.

3. Is it to be used in the day or night?

Our formulations are light weight and get absorbed into your skin without leaving your skin sticky for the day. You can create your own ritual with these formulations. However, we suggest that you use the entire ritual consisting of these 3 products morning and night to see visible results.

4. Can I use it with my other skincare products?

Yes definitely you can use our Trial kit with your other products as well, but we would suggest you to minimise the products you put on your skin and stick to a routine to see better results & benefits of our products.

5. Can I use sunscreen after this?

None of our formulations contain SPF so it can’t replace a sunscreen but if you are using one we would suggest you to continue your routine while incorporating our Trial Kit in it. Our formulations are a blend of natural oils and therapeutic grade essential oils which help maintain your skin barrier.

6. Can I wear makeup with this?

Of course you can. This ritual is a great base for makeup! Just wait for 1-2 minutes to let the product get absorbed into your skin and go ahead with your makeup. Though with regular usage of the Trial Kit you will notice a healthy glowing skin over time, making you want to flaunt your bare skin more often.

7. Why is it so expensive?

Oleum Cottage formulations are made with the best quality of oils and essential oils to give you the highest efficacy. Interestingly, many who initially think they’re expensive, change their mind after trying them. Most people who try it feel it is a good investment and switching to Oleum Cottage saves them the salon/treatment costs! Also, with this kit you get a INR 300 coupon that can be used on any full size product of your next purchase.

8. I’m experiencing rashes / breakouts after using it a few times. What should I do?

You may experience a few initial bouts of acne when using the crème, this is absolutely normal. What you are experiencing is called ‘Purging’, which means your skin is reacting to an active ingredient, which is increasing skin cell growth. This is a good sign – it means your skin will soon start shedding dead skin cells and eventually reveal fresh, healthy skin.

9. Can I use this during pregnancy?

Congratulations, this is the time to relax and pamper yourself! During pregnancy, your skin may become sensitive and your sense of smell can be stronger, so using products with synthetic ingredients and artificial fragrance can be harsh. Our formulations are prepared by accurately following aromatherapy dosage. Each and every ingredient that we add is plant derived, so do not be afraid of using them.

10. Can I use it on my clinically treated skin?

Yes. These formulations can be used on clinically treated skin. They will rather form a protective layer on your skin and reduce any sensitivity caused by the treatments.

11. Can I use these products and go out in the sun since essential oils can be photosensitive?

Essential oils can be photo sensitive only when used incorrectly. Our formulations are made by accurately following aromatherapy dosage. So don’t be afraid of enjoying some sunshine! In fact, we’d recommend you do this ritual again after sun exposure, to get the damage-repair benefits in these oils.
