love this oil!
I was hesitant at first to put an oil on my face, worried about break outs, but Luna hasn't given me any problems. I like how it comes out blue as you put in on your face then blends in - it's fun! I tolerated this level of retinol really well. I think it contributed to anti-aging benefits on my face.
