My Opinion:

Been using this during the driest month of the winter and was really amazed by the initial results. You all know that I'm on retin A and that during the driest winter days, my skin peels and flakes.... no amount of makeup would actually make me look normal...

Started using this for about a week and there was no more peeling, my skin was actually radiant, but on the second week black heads started to emerged.... With continuous use of retin a for over 3 months, I shouldn't have any blackheads, so I've concluded that this serum to be the cause....

I've really liked this product and I'm not really complaining, because from my previous experience with facial oils, I've noticed that they all causes black or white heads on me. I think this is a personal issue and it does not have to do with the product. I just wish that facial oils will work for me because they are all so convenient, just one squirt and it would be enough for my face.... no more serums or face creams, etc.

  2. If you're getting blackheads and whiteheads you may be using to much or not using it the right way. Oils shouldn't be used when your pores are expanded (ie. after taking a hot shower or washing your face with warm water) as it will seep into the pores and may clog them. You want to make sure to use an ice cube or cold cold water to shrink you pores, then take only a couple of drops of the serum and emulsify it on your face with the remaining moisture you have from the cold water/ice. I had to learn this the hard way lol through much trial and error. Hope this helps for your future experiences with facial oils!
