I put a drop on my hand, closed my eyes, and tried to guess the price. I guessed $38. It’s $90.
That’s the whole celebrity skincare game in a nutshell — you’re paying for the name, but this oil actually has a personality underneath the hype. The real question is whether that personality is worth the premium.
It’s a 30ml face oil that retails for $90. The claim that got me: “mimics the skin’s natural lipid barrier.” That’s fancy speak for “we made a very rich oil.”
Squalane base
Feels like silk, not grease — absorbs in about 15 seconds flat.
Jojoba esters
These are the workhorses — they sit on top and lock everything in.
Scent profile
Smells like a spa that charges $200/hour. Subtle, warm, expensive.

The formula is actually decent — not revolutionary, but solid. It’s basically a high-end squalane oil with some antioxidants thrown in for good measure.
- Squalane: hydrates without clogging pores, just like your skin’s own oils
- Vitamin E: stops the oil from going rancid, which is more useful than it sounds
- Jojoba oil: mimics sebum, so your skin thinks it’s already produced enough
- Rosehip extract: smells nice and adds a tiny bit of brightening

It’s thicker than I expected. Like honey that’s been left out — golden, viscous, and it takes a minute to sink in. But once it does, your skin feels like a glazed donut. In a good way.
Two weeks in, my dry patches are gone. But here’s the twist — it’s too heavy for daytime. If you’re oily, this will sit on your face like a mask.

My flaky winter cheeks are smooth for the first time in months. My forehead? Still oily. This is a night-only oil for me, and that’s the truth.

It’s a genuinely good oil trapped in a celebrity-branded box. If you need heavy-duty moisture and don’t mind the price tag, you’ll be happy. If you’re buying it for the Kim factor — you’re wasting your money.
