It is possibly one of the very few oils that my skin likes and gladly absorbs.

How to use
This oil is flexible and can be used by itself (2-3 drops) or mixed (2 drops) with a moisturizer to enhance its hydration effects.
This should be the last step of your skincare routine.
using the oil by itself
1. Dispense 2-3 drops onto fingertips
2. Gently press onto the face, neck and décolletage until absorbed.
Since this oil is very saturated, you only need to use this once per day. You can choose to use it in the morning or at night. I prefer nighttime as it gives my skin enough time to absorb the product and it protects my skin from the dry air at night.
with a moisturizer
1. mix a few drops with your moisturizer
2. apply to the face as you normally apply your moisturizer.
A little goes a long way
As I mentioned earlier (which is also suggested by Jurlique) that this oil should only be used once a day. I got greedy when I first started, thinking the more I use it, the better, and used it twice a day. It ended up giving my skin too much moisture and hydration and I started developing weird bumps all over my face. Don't make the same mistake I made :)
And only use 2-3 drops max, your skin only needs that much. In the beginning, I used more drops than I should and my skin had a difficult time absorbing it. It ended up stressing my skin and my skin refused to absorb it. This oil is thicker than most facial oils, and 2-3 drops is more than enough to be partially absorbed and partially comfortably sit on the surface of your skin.
Also, adding too many drops will melt the foundation and other products on your face. So only use max 3 drops!
Score: 9.5/10
