I have been suffering from hormonal acne for some time but this month it was particularly worse. I am dry and have lots of texture all of a sudden. I bought this oil thinking it could try to combat the dryness and acne on one. I have seen a huge improvement after just one use. My acne is reduced in size and redness and the texture is less obvious. I’m really excited to continue using this to see just how much my skin improve over time. On a side note to Cult Beauty, as I’m writing this review, you’ve asked me to confirm my gender. There are two options, male and female. May I politely ask you to educate yourselves on gender and either a) remove the question of gender or b) make the answers more inclusive. 

I purchased this having run out of the drunk elephant oil and wanted to see the difference, however I have noticed my skin looking greasy not glowing with this product. I probably won’t purchase again as have yet to see what it adds to my beauty regime especially for the price. Potentially an overhyped product. 

I first tried this oil during the home confinement period of the pandemic where my skin (sensitive, with rosacea) was very red and getting little pimples, this really helped reduce redness and inflammation. It became a must have on my routine, just bought another bottle, it lasts for a long time.

I've used other Sunday Riley face oils (Juno and Luna) and been very satisfied with the results. I had been unable to have my regular facials for a while and decided to try this oil. Within 2 days, small whiteheads that I could feel underneath the skin has come to the surface. I use this oil every other night and have not experienced the "purging" described by others. The weight of the oil is nice, and I think it has a pleasant scent. Is it life-changing? No, not for me. But I would definitely buy it again.

I was hoping this oil would help with my acne, but after using it for a few months, I must say it has done absolutely nothing for my breakouts. It hasn't made existing acne go away faster, neither has it prevented new ones from forming. I won't go as far as to say it's broken me out (I think other products were at fault for that) but this definitely did not do for me what it promised it would. Giving this 2 stars only because the oil sinks in really quickly and I quite like the smell of it, but I will not repurchase.
