Just kind of average
I don't used to use skin-care products often. As a male, it's just not something I used to give much thought to. However, as I get older, I do suffer from dry skin in the winter months as the lower humidity in my house tends to cause my skin to flake and break out in spots.<br /><br />So I thought I would try this vegan oil for dry skin and I'm not entirely impressed.<br /><br />First thoughts are that the bottle is very nice. I love the green color of the oil. When the light hits it just right, it looks very pleasing. The bottle comes with a lid attached to a dropper for application, which makes it a little difficult to apply. You have to hold the dropper with one hand and apply it to the other and rub it in. My concern with this method is how difficult it will be to pull up more oil when the bottle gets low, but I guess that remains to be seen.<br /><br />The oil itself is very greasy feeling. It literally feels like a lower viscosity motor oil and also has a sandy/gritty texture to it when applied. The scent is very strange as well. To me, it smells 100% like rubber. It's not a bad smell, but it's also not a pleasant smell. It's just a smell. If you've ever smelled rubber, you know what I mean.<br /><br />As for its effectiveness? Again, not impressed.<br /><br />I've been using it for about a week now, and I haven't really noticed any huge effects from the lotion. My skin is still peeling and dry in most of the places where I have applied this, but I would say there is a slight improvement. However, I'm not sure it's worth the price. I have used other, much cheaper, lotions/oils that have provided better results.<br /><br />Overall, this is just average to me. I'm just not sure it's worth the price of admission.
