What has my experience with the product been like?
I typically mix oils in with serums and this is no exception. It's lightweight yet it adds this silky, luxurious texture whether you apply it on its own, or mix it in with a serum or a moisturizer. Hence, while it's a pricey oil, I feel like its texture makes it feel really luxurious and makes it a pleasure to apply - it's a product that I personally look forward to applying and using during my skincare routine. In addition to simply feeling nice, this makes my skin buttery smooth and has made a noticeable difference in how red and inflamed my skin can be. I know that I have RAVED about squalane in the past and I'm sure some of you may be curious how this compares. Squalane, overall, is a somewhat thinner, lighter-weight oil and I continue to love it and most likely will use it as my main anti-redness oil because of it being available at a much lower price point. However, if I feel like treating myself to something that feels somewhat more luxurious. I would go for this oil. If price wasn't an issue I think I'd go for squalane in the summertime and this in the wintertime. I will note that a bit of this goes a long way - I mix in three drops into my serum both morning and night and this bottle lasted me just about three months.
