It's technically for the eye area, but you can use it anywhere. It's very emollient and hydrating, but not greasy. I apply it to my dry areas after I use my regular moisturizer.


What an odd suggestion!!


It's great stuff! Try it anywhere that your skin is really dry and thank me later.

Are we supposed to add it first or second? I’ve been putting it over my moisturizer. I use Cetaphil.


Conventional wisdom is oil always goes last to seal in the moisturizer or other treatments.

I apply oil first, then moisturizer. I view it as moisturizer locks it in.

Maybe switch up your cleanser instead? Try something like Albolene and follow with Cerave.

I was going to suggest the same, except that I’d add The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid serum to your regular moisturizer. Can’t go wrong with either!

I use the Kiehls version, which has similar ingredients (squaline)

The dryer air plus dropping hormone levels is making my skin dryer and dryer. I add some body oil to my body lotion so I was we wondering what oil I could add to my face cream without clogging my pores.
