So smooth
This is an excellent oil - very very lightly scented (almost smells like pickles but I am pregnant, so...) and goes on very smoothly. I use it at night for extra moisture before my moisturizer and I love it. The only downside is this price point is not affordable for me in the long-run, so when my sample runs out I'll be missing it.
