Gurus agree borage oil delivers solid hydration at an unbeatable price point, making it a practical choice for winter moisture or layering into moisturizers. The consistent complaint is its distinctive natural scent, which many find off-putting enough to avoid despite The Ordinary's reassurance that it isn't rancid.
