Love it! Use it every evening and find it to be super hydrating.
If you are okay with oils, are on the dry side and don’t like the feeling of squalane - this will change your life. I use it on the occasions when I want an occlusive, a product that you use last in your routine to help retain moisture in your skin. Has definitely strengthened my skin barrier, doesn’t irritate.

Not good for me
I have dry skin and I thought this product would be great for me. It burned a little bit and broke me out like crazy after a few days of using. I gave it to my mom and it worked for her. Do not buy this if you have sensitive skin.
a thin, oil-like serum- do not buy if you hate any sort of greasy-like feeling. Worked amazing with my combination skin, especially through winter on any dry patches. Did not break me out and helped my skin to appear brighter and more even. While it is an oil based serum, it absorbs nicely and layers well with other serums considering they aren’t overdone. Product i have repurchased more than Show more
