It burns if I have any dry patches (under my nose in the winter for example) and does not sink in very well. I’m pretty sure this has been causing me to have blackheads, whiteheads, and milia all over my cheeks and chin. seriously overhyped.

As a person with really dry skin (At time of review), this is a wonderful product that keeps my face hydrated throughout the evenings and great for sensitive skin. Considering that it is a thick product, a little goes a long way, which is why I think for the amount you get at the price point it is a great buy. Only thing I wish it had was a pump like the Vanicream Moisturizing Cream just because I Show more

This has been my skin savior!! All of my FA safe moisturizers aren’t hydrating enough on their own. I wanted to add squalane that wasn’t derived from olives. I add multiple layers of this with sebamed gel. My skin finally feels moisturized.

Very hydrating!!!! The only oil i’ve found that’s fungal acne safe.😭 I used to use as a oil cleanser but now I just use it as a face and hair moisturizer, since i don’t wear a lot of makeup. It’s great for both tho!!🩷
