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.

Instantly fell in love with this oil. It's light weight, absorbs quickly, goes on smoothly, doesn't leave me feeling greasy, hardly any noticeable fragrance, and an excellent source of Vitamin C. I use it at night after my serum and before moisturizing. My skin feels so smooth, not irritated, and well hydrated in the morning. What more could you want? Oh, the price... yeah it is definitely more on Show more

It stings, but beauty is pain..
I know. You see the alcohol and think its all bad. Its not. Its everything. I put this on at night on a pimple at any stage and wake up with the pimple completely gone. It stings. I’ve been recommended the Kiehl’s Liquid Pimple Patch that is alcohol free. That is up next. But until then, this is securely on the holy grail shelf.

This did nothing for my pimples but at least it didn't worsen it.
