FAQ

The fast answers people actually need

Can this be used on oily skin?

While formulated for normal, dry, and combination skin, its lightweight nature and squalane content can be beneficial for oily skin types seeking hydration without greasiness. However, if you have very oily skin and prefer a matte finish, you might use it sparingly or as a final step at night.

How does this compare to a pure facial oil?

This is an oil-serum hybrid, meaning it combines the hydrating and emollient properties of oils with the lighter texture and potential active benefits of a serum. It's designed to be less heavy than a pure oil while still providing significant moisture and glow.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and contains many soothing ingredients like licorice root extract and ceramides. However, as with any new product, it's always recommended to patch test, especially if you have very reactive skin.
