Using the light, moisture-focused products I used in the summer leaves my skin feeling dry, while the oil-rich winter products still feel heavy and I'm worried about skin troubles. Luckily, this product just arrived, and when I mixed it a little into my usual moisturizer and applied it, my skin immediately felt more comfortable and my sebum production decreased. We all know that jojoba oil is great, and this product has enhanced the beneficial effects of jojoba oil with an even more pleasant user experience. Compared to other jojoba oil products, the refreshing feel of this one is really satisfying. It also contains ceramides and other skin barrier-improving ingredients, which is exciting and appealing to me. While I haven't noticed dramatic improvements to my skin barrier in just over a week of use, my skin does feel more soothed and the product has definitely helped control my oil production, making it a great option for the current season.
ConsTo be honest, there are no major disappointments. The feeling is that it is slightly less slippery than usual oil. Since it is hydrophilic, it forms a film immediately when applied, and it feels a bit less slippery and more sticky compared to oil. There is no strong scent, but there is a faint grassy scent, possibly from the oil itself, and a barely noticeable scent of flowers or herbs. There is also a very slight smoky or toasted note, which gives an herbal feel and a sense of calmness, though this could be disliked by some people. The packaging is quite pretty, but it tends to flow sideways and the amount is not easy to control, so it's a bit disappointing. I'd like to just drop a drop or two on the cream, but that's not easy to do. It's an unavoidable consequence of the packaging chosen for oxidation prevention, but it's still a shame.
TipThe pamphlet that came with it says to use it as the first step after cleansing or to mix it with toner. No, no!! If you do that, the moisture won't absorb right away, and you'll end up with more sebum later. Whether you have oily or dry skin, you absolutely must apply a lot of moisture first!! Apply an oil-free product all over, then absorb a few drops of this oil, and finally apply an oil-based product or cream on top. It works really well!!!!
