Love this product for some light daytime hydration.

I've been using it for a few years now and have nothing bad to say about it. It absorbs well, is affordable, and hasn't caused me any irritation.

Current HG for Glass Skin
My main skin concern is dryness/dehydration. I find many medium-body non-comedogenic moisturizers not moisturizing enough, or that they dry more matte than I'd like. I mix 2-3 drops of this into my last step cream moisturizer for an extra boost of dew, avoiding my nose if it feels too oily.

i just used up my current bottle of this wonderfully lightweight product that only costs about $5.
so i went to buy some more from Sephora or Ulta… and it’s apparently been discontinued. :(
i have no idea why. not only is it wonderfully inexpensive, but it works like a heavier oil (think Argan or Marula) while being lighter, less greasy, and absorbing faster. it’s great for the hair, the body, Show more
