What the community says
Pros
- Light, noncomedogenic hydration that layers well under sunscreen or makeup
- Common go-to for sealing moisture post-retinoid with minimal irritation
- Versatile single-ingredient oil that helps reduce dryness and peeling, especially on tretinoin routines
Cons
- Some find it too heavy or greasy for oily skin or in humid climates
- May sit on top of the skin rather than fully absorb, needing careful application
- Rare reports of breakouts or irritation mean patch testing is advised for sensitive or acne-prone skin
