Okay, so I’ve been burned by face oils before—the ones that leave you looking like a glazed donut. But this? This is a whole different story.
It’s the first oil that actually sinks in before I can finish my skincare routine, which is honestly a miracle because I’m impatient as hell.
Ami Cole sent me this little bottle of gold—it’s $28 for 1oz, which is mid-range for oils, but the pump is actually genius (no messy droppers).
Fast Absorption
It’s dry to the touch in about 20 seconds—no joke, I timed it.
No Residue
Zero film on my pillowcase, zero transfer to my phone screen.
Scent Profile
It smells like a fancy spa, not like a salad dressing—thank god.

The ingredient list reads like a smoothie recipe, but a really expensive one. Squalane does the heavy lifting here, while the other oils just vibe together nicely.
- Squalane: lightweight hydration that mimics your skin’s natural oils
- Marula Oil: softens without suffocating
- Vitamin E: antioxidant shield with a silky finish
- Baobab Oil: absorbs fast, leaves zero shine

Dropping this on my skin feels like liquid silk—not thick, not watery, but that perfect in-between. It glides on and just… disappears. My face feels like a baby’s butt but without the greasy aftermath.
Week two hit and I noticed my makeup sitting better over it. That was the surprise—not the glow, but how everything layers on top without sliding around.

My skin looked calmer and my dry patches gave up their flaky ways. But it didn’t magically erase my pores like some brands claim—it’s an oil, not a miracle worker.

This is the oil for people who swore off oils. It’s the gateway product that’ll convert your greasy-oil hating friends.
