Can I use this oil directly on my face for oily skin?

Bergamot essential oil is noted for properties that make it suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin when properly diluted. It is never safe to apply pure, undiluted essential oil directly to the face or any skin.

To use it in a skincare routine, add one drop of bergamot oil to a sufficient amount of a non-comedogenic carrier oil (like jojoba or argan oil) or an unscented face cream or gel—enough for a single application. A typical facial dilution is very low, around 0.5-1%. Perform a patch test with the diluted mixture on a small area (like behind the ear or on the jawline) and wait 24 hours to ensure no irritation occurs. This oil is intended for external cosmetic use to enrich products with a pleasant aroma and is not a treatment for medical skin conditions. It is not a substitute for a balanced skincare regimen or medical advice.
