I have both dry and dehydrated skin and this is the perfect facial oil for me. Most facial oils only address dry skin, but this one manages to tackle both at one. It's very liquidy and runny--not as viscous as you might expect--and smells a little like alcohol when it first goes on. That scent dissipates pretty quickly and then smells lightly like generic cologne. It sinks in quickly, but definitely is a bit oily, so I only use it at night. After using it for only a week, my dry, flaky, winter skin was gone!
