Reviews

Love this stuff!

"This stuff has truly changed my skin. I haven’t been using to shave my face but instead using it to add additional moisture to my face and I love it. I’ve found that the tinted moisturizer makes my skins. Bit dry but with the oil it leaves a perfect level of moisture. It’s my favorite product I’ve already ordered two more bottles!"

— Alexandra L. (5/5)

Pleasantly surprised

"Never thought I would love an oil but once again BF has done it. I use this oil with my moisturizer every other day to keep my dry sensitive skin in check."

— Pamela M. (5/5)

The Perfect Oil

"This product is amazing at locking in hydration! A recent addition for me and now I don't think I could live without! Run, don't walk to grab this!"

— Meredith H. (5/5)

Multipurpose product

"I first bought this product to use when shaving. I loved it because I found dry shaving to be too irritating on my skin. I recently moved to upstate NY and have started using this on top of my moisturizer at night to really lock it all in. It has helped tremendously in keeping my skin soft during the cold winter."

— Kat O. (5/5)

Perfectionist review

"This worked very well for dermaplaning at home. My skin is dry and this provided enough moisture to prevent irritation and dryness after a dermaplane. A little goes a long ways with this!"

— Kaitlynn W. (4/5)

Such a good addition!!

"Love this product!! My dry winter skin needed a boost. I started adding this product to my moisturizer in the morning and night. My dry skin has been so well managed, I ordered it three more times since!"

— Margaret P. (5/5)

Love this product for oil

"Love this product for oil planing. It helps glide the razor. I also love this product when my skin feels dry especially in these winter months."

— Kristin D. (5/5)

Multi-purpose oil

"This oil has been a game changer for winter dry skin. I bought it with the intention to use for at home dermaplaning, but I also add a few drops to my moisturizer if my skin is feeling very dry! I instantly notice a difference when I wake up that my skin is more moisturized."

— Jessica (5/5)

Perfect!

"Lightweight and hydrating-add a drop to my moisturizer in the winter"

— Dana K. (5/5)

Don’t shave your face without this

"I love this oil!! I have shaved my face many times prior to this being released, and would not infrequently find that I had given myself micro paper cuts. A cut wasn’t visible- but my skin would sting. What I like about this oil is I feel like it protects my skin, while also allowing me to get a close shave. My skin also does not break out after use and feels hydrated and luxe. My partner, who has very sensitive skin, even used this to edge his beard. Happy to report a beautiful shave and no break out!"

— Mimi (5/5)
