My opinion: 4/5 🤩
I’m currently on my 3rd bottle of this stuff, my hair can never go without it but my face, that’s a different story. I can’t lie this oil has been a lifesaver for me – a while ago I got a cluster of small breakouts around my mouth, chin and jawline area after a reaction to threading my face. The thing that healed my breakouts practically overnight was a gentle bha followed by this squalane oil. I slathered on this oil 3 nights in a row and my skin was completely healed! This oil is compatible with oily skin, for those with acne, even fungal acne like myself. It’s also worked wonders for my hair, I apply it on the ends only on wet hair before blow-drying and always notice instant shine and softness until my next wash.
I would have given 5 stars but this oil does not absorb into the skin, it just sits on it so can be very uncomfortable. To combat this I just use 3 drops but even then I’m sure there are better formulations out there. This is why I only use this oil when my skin needs it otherwise there would be grease all over my pillow
