Light, absorbent oil.
I had actually been looking at the other formulation when I decided to go with this one instead. I still want to pick up the other one for comparison, but Helios is a fantastic facial oil and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. The oil isn't heavy, which is a big point for me. I have an oily forehead, and oils that are too thick or that sit on the skin for a while seem to make everything worse. This oil is light - extremely light.. it took me a bit to realize that yes, it was actually on my skin to be smoothed in - and absorbs beautifully. I apply it directly with the roller and then spritz my face with some rose water toner before using fingertips to smooth the oil over my face evenly. I have had no breakouts, my skin is soft and supple but -not- oily, my dry areas look a lot better, my skin feels hydrated, and this is only after a few days of use. Every product is not going to be perfect for every person, but for me, this is a winner. Beautiful bottle to have on your counter as well!
