"I won't deny that the quality of a carrier oil is affected by where it's grown and the nutrition it had while it was being raised, so it does make a difference, and some people do swear by these more expensive oils, but I don't even swear by marula."

"I'm a big fan of this actually because I love oils and marula oil is non-comedogenic so it's not going to block pores. It's quite lightweight but intensely moisturizing and quite luxurious, so you can actually put this on instead of your moisturizer. [...] I like to think about mixing oils in the nighttime because it's going to help with the skin barrier, especially if you're using retinol, because retinol is going to maybe make the skin barrier a little bit more impaired and drier, and oil is going to really replace that lost moisture."

"I think it's far too expensive because it's just one ingredient. There's nothing special. Normally you expect a blend of different oils. I'm not too impressed by this product, really, to be honest."
