Smells so bad
1I bought this because I have psoriasis so I thought it would be good for calming any flares on my face. The first few reviews I read were really positive but I wish I'd read a bit further because like so many other reviews on here, I can't use the stuff because it smells so, so bad. Somehow it smells meaty and I don't even know how that's possible. I would avoid unless you have no sense of smell!

Review
3So I’ve been using this for a month but there really is no difference I don’t know why.

Smell
2The smell is so so so strong I cannot apply it to my face without it smelling already on my face. It also has a color, so if you apply it before going to sleep, there is a chance it will stain your pillowcase. I did not notice any results since I couldn't use it for too long because of the aforementioned reasons.

Very pleased
5I have oily, eczema prone skin and it has completely cleared up my eczema and heals spots very quick. It is just very oily so would recommend wearing it at night instead of day.

Good product, but however the smell...
3I really like this product, it feels thick so if you have dry skin that just needs something moisturising, this is great. I didn't notice the smell at first, however, after reading a review on here I started to take more notice. I actually don't like using this just because of the smell, it's like raw meat...... but if you can look past that, the results are excellent.

Chronic dry skin dream
5I have had such a journey with my skin, it's unforgivingly dry, tight, and flakey. I have tried so many products over the years from moisturisers, facial scrubs and exfoliants, hyaluronic acid, masks and nothing seemed to work. I noticed a difference with this product after only a weeks use. It has completely changed my face, my skin is plump, youthful, bouncy and supple which it hasn't been for the best part of 8 years. Would love for this product to be available in a bigger size!

Amazing
5I read the reviews about using this product for dry skin, and decided to order it. I've only been using it for two days but I can really feel/ see the difference In my skin. My skin is very dry and flakey and this seems to help so much! I use this at night, after I clean my face, I apply a few drops and rub it in. by the morning my skin is soft and lush. Honestly, I would recommend this to anyone!

amazing for dermatitis prone skin
5I decided to buy this product a week ago, as I was having a painful eczema flare up all across my face. I had researched The Ordinary as I have heard they have effective and reasonably priced skincare, and came across this product. It really does work wonders, my eczema has stopped flaring up, and it leave me feeling moisturised and relieved. The smell is nowhere near as drastic as people make it out to be, at least in my opinion; it’s not even noticeable.

Bad/rancid smell
1When I opened the bottle it smelled like salami, and in my experience, that means the oil has gone bad. I thought I had gotten a bad bottle but as I'm reading the reviews I see I'm not the only one. I don't know if that's the scent it's supposed to have (I highly doubt it), but I'm not going anywhere with my face stinking like that.
