I've had and have used this oil regularly for going on three weeks now. I realize that this may not be the FULL amount of time that this product needs to be completely effective, but I wanted to get my initial impressions down before I spent the rest of the time with the product and forgot what they were. I will come back to update this review as needed.
My fears for this product were that it would be extremely greasy (on my already oily skin), it would stink (and that my coworkers would be able to pick up on it) and that it would irritate my sensitive skin. That being said, I started out with just a LITTLE in one spot, and worked myself up to full coverage as my confidence increased. I would highly suggest the same for you if you tend to react to foreign substances or have random allergic reactions.
The oil, upon opening it, was NOT overwhelming. In fact, once I rubbed it in and it absorbed, there was very little to no residual scent. I really had to smell for it, and to be honest, it could be my bloodhound nose that I got with my pregnancy! The oil went on smoothly, and because I was careful with the amount I used, it wasn't slimey and greasy. You want a VERY thin coat. I would say that resistance on your skin when rubbing it in is ideal.
The marks that I have are very fresh. This should also be noted. I have no SUPER old stretch marks, as this is my first pregnancy.
My observations as of right now are as follows: the oil absorbed rather quickly and left my skin feeling soft. Once or twice, I did get too much, and I noticed a bit of an uncomfortable sticky feeling. Be very aware of how much you're applying! When I did it correctly, I had zero issues. My skin is softer and feels more moisturized. I've noticed the marks have faded noticeably, and that makes me happy! I plan to pick up another bottle to use once baby is born!
A notable perk is the beautiful black velvet bag that the bottle comes in! It makes it easy to recognize when you're looking over a variety of bottles.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. I did not allow this discount to influence my review in any way. I did not discuss the content of my review with anyone before writing it or posting it here. I was NOT compensated for my review and I do not have any kind of relationship with the seller.
