I’m sorry to hear that Vonvon. I read your posts and I’ve had the same experience with a Bottega Verde cream. My face was all warm and flushed, it was scary! Do you know which ingredient caused it? But being more careful with Origins products is probably a very good idea 🙂
I tend to think that because my skin doesn’t get irritated easily and most products work for me, I don’t need to do a skin patch test. We should both learn from our mistakes, but somehwo I don’t think it will be so easy. 🙂

Errr…..I know it’s always good to do a patch test especially when trying new products, but I am lazy. My skin has been quite good to many products I have tried and tested.

But my 1st Origins sample I tried(it’s supposed to be suitable for sensitive skin, so I took it for granted though I don’t have sensitive skin) and my skin reacted quite ‘violently’ to it. I wrote an account of this in my blog under label “Origins”.

I don’t know the lazy me would learn from this or not 😛 but I’ll definitely be more careful with products from Origins in future. I will definitely do a patch test with subsequent Origins products that I am going to try out!! 🙂

Shuu: you’re welcome. Lucky you! I am the same, I rarely have negative reactions so I often think I can skip doing a patch test. Hope I won’t have to regret it one day though.

Dao: me too. I know it’s important but still I don’t do it. 🙂
