Pros

  • Best known for boosting hydration and skin barrier repair without clogging pores
  • Non-fragrant, minimal-ingredient oil that's well-tolerated by sensitive and eczema-prone skin
  • Absorbs quickly with a lightly emollient, non-greasy texture that layers well under sunscreen and makeup

Cons

  • Can feel too heavy for oily skin or those preferring lighter layers
  • A small number of users reported breakouts, possibly due to occlusive nature or overuse
  • Some find it sits on skin without absorbing fully if layered over certain moisturizers
