After I overdid it with salicylic acid (again), my skin felt papery and inflamed. This oil was the only thing I could pat on without wincing. It gave my skin back its bounce without triggering a purge or making things worse.

I’d gotten into this routine of layering heavy creams at night just to survive till morning I was managing dryness, not healing it. This oil was the turning point. After two weeks, I realized I no longer had to use my old, thick balms. My skin stopped feeling desperate. It’s like it learned to hold its own moisture again.

After a week of being sick, my skin was flaky, tight, and just wrecked. This oil brought it back almost overnight. It soothed my irritated nose area and made my skin feel comfortable again instead of rough and dehydrated.

I was tired of oils that just sat on top of my skin and never sank in. This one is different, my skin actually drinks it in. It gives me this ridiculous, healthy glow that looks like I just got a facial. Bonus: I mix a drop with my foundation, and suddenly I look like a dewy goddess.

I wish I were exaggerating when I say I burnt my face off with a DIY acid peel. My skin peeled in sheets, was red raw, and felt like I had aged ten years overnight. I tried everything, ceramides, balms, even prescription creams but nothing helped.

Then I found this oil. It melted into my paper-thin skin without stinging. Day one: my face stopped feeling tight and painful. Week one: my redness faded faster than I thought possible. Month one: my skin was plump, smooth, and alive again. I never thought I’d recover my skin barrier, but this oil did what medicine couldn’t.
