ProsThis is truly my holy grail product! I haven't been paying much attention to my body skin for long. The reason being, since childhood, I've had severely dry skin (only on my body). Even when I applied emulsions, my skin would crack, and if I used products famous for moisturizing? They'd feel heavy and sticky - what's the point if my skin doesn't crack but I'm irritated by the heaviness! I even had this personality about it. To make matters worse, emulsions full of oil would leave me with body acne. Yet, my skin was still so dry that my cracked calves would shed white flakes - a legendary disaster skin, right? But when I use this product, even though it's an oil, it feels incredibly clean. So, I just spritz this product on, then apply a light body emulsion, and boom - 100% hydration with skin that's smooth and clean (no stickiness) to the max!!!! No blemishes on my body!!!!
I'm extremely satisfied with its functional aspects, but!!! If you asked me to name the best thing about this product, I'd say it's the fragrance! While the almond oil scent isn't strong enough to replace perfume (in terms of projection), this scent that only I know!!!! (in close proximity) lingers with incredible longevity, softly wafting around!!!!!!! What I mean is, when I shower before bed, apply this oil and body emulsion, and lie down, this lovely almond scent that only I can smell gently wafts around!!!! And it's still there when I wake up!!!!!! I love having a nice scent while I sleep, so I usually spritz on Jo Malone perfume, but perfumes themselves (even Jo Malone, famous for its scents) have short longevity. This oil's scent lasts even longer than perfume, lingering softly for ages! Both the fragrance and hydration are top-notch.
ConsI tried a sample and loved it so much that I bought the full-size product, but the full-size comes in a spray format. I actually found the hole-type dispenser used in the sample more convenient to use. If I were to suggest an alternative, I think a pump-type would be better! The spray isn't terribly inconvenient, but when my hands are oily and I'm holding the glass bottle trying to use the spray, I worry about dropping it, so I end up gripping it really tightly.
TipHere's my personal pro tip: applying the oil while your skin is still slightly damp after showering makes it spread more smoothly and effectively!!! For me, applying a bit less oil than seems necessary, then following up with a body emulsion works perfectly!! I use Vaseline Intensive Care Emulsion, and the combination is great - not sticky, no blemishes, just a perfect match.
