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.

I have tried many facial oils and never found one my skin likes. This oil is the one my skin really enjoys. I mix it into products. Usually, Stratia Lipid Gold and it feels really good. It's a nice protective barrier before I apply moisturizer. I have really dry, sensitive skin. I took one star off because the dropper is the bane of my existence. It always manages to come off.
