I know several people who use this oil for their problem skin, and so I decided to give it a go after suffering a breakout during a stressful chapter in my life. I am very pleased I did. This is a lovely quality oil that is really helpful. Now that my breakout is under control I am using this oil as a general moisturiser after showering. It leaves my skin looking and feeling amazing.
