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.

used as quick fix for redness, only half a day effect, rec using ordinary caffeine eye product on the face instead for a bit longer effect but still not long-lasting, need to use both all the time to keep the effect

It’s a great starter product with azelic acid.
The price is relatively cheap, the tube will last you long time and it delivers what it should - azelic acid.
However, despite people’s suggestions here I personally would not use it as last step. It does not say it on their homepage but azelic acid has usually low ph. Thus adding it as last step might cause damaged skin barrier on a long run! Show more

Hate
I have rosacea and perioral dermatitis so I thought this would heal my skin but I HATE it. It’s silicone based so it dries matte and you can’t apply sunscreen or any makeup on top. You also can’t reapply because it’ll start pilling. Don’t even think about touching your face after putting this on because it’ll pill. It also stings really bad which is the opposite of what you need for rosacea Show more
