I hadn't heard of this brand before, so it was all new to me. When the product arrived, I found some promotional materials and product info in the box. It seems they're a company specializing in natural soaps. After using the product for just over a week, my main takeaway is that it's excellent at combating dryness. Despite being an oil, it's not sticky at all. It feels fresh and absorbs well. While it's on the pricier side, you only need to mix 2-3 drops with your regular skincare products, so it should last quite a while. True to its name 'Solnara' (Pine Tree Land), it has a strong pine scent. Right after application, there's a slight warming sensation, almost like a mild burning feeling. However, this doesn't last long, so it's not bothersome. I think this could be great for men due to its strong scent.
ConsThe only downside is that the fragrance is overpowering. Personally, I didn't find it pleasant. It starts off as a pine scent, but there's something artificial mixed in that I find off-putting.

Following the instructions to mix it with other products rather than using it alone, I tried blending it with different toners, serums, and emulsions daily. My current toner has a runny texture and doesn't absorb quickly, but when I mixed 2-3 drops of this oil essence, it absorbed remarkably fast. It also works well with serums, absorbing nicely without any slippery feeling. Mixing it with other products improves their absorption, preventing them from sitting on the skin and making it easier to apply subsequent skincare steps. Despite being an oil essence, it doesn't feel heavy, greasy, or slippery. It's surprisingly clean for an oil, feeling more elastic than heavy. I've been using Physiogel emulsion for about 10 days, and my face feels tight after 4 hours. Due to its slight oiliness, I get a few blemishes, and while my face feels dry, it looks shiny from the product's oil. However, when I mixed the oil essence with the emulsion, I didn't get the blemishes that usually appear when using the emulsion alone. My skin still feels tight after a while, but the oiliness has significantly decreased.
ConsThe scent... When I smelled it through the product box, it seemed fine, like a pine-scented dish soap smell. But upon opening, the fragrance was overpowering. It hit me strongly while applying to my face, making me think it would be difficult to use consistently. Fortunately, it doesn't last long. After a while, as it fades, the scent becomes quite pleasant.
