Yes - it works
I purchased this after reading about it in a women's magazine as a treatment for rosacea. Not only have I recently developed rosacea, but I also had the crazy skin that so many people seem to complain about when they hit menopause. My previously calm and clear skin had morphed into dry patches, oily patches and an occasional viscious outbreak of acne. I never knew what was going to be looking back at me from the mirror. Well - I can honestly say that this oil has helped things get back to normal. I wash my face with a gentle bar soap at night and use 2 drops on each cheek and one drop on my forehead. Within days, the redness had calmed down and some of the bumps on my cheeks had gone down. I'm happy about those things, but the main reason I am giving this such a good rating is that the overall tone and feeling of my skin is back to where it was before - and it happened quickly! I use this as I described above at night and then I use only one drop in each spot in the morning under my makeup. You would think an oil would make my foundation less durable, but I have found it to be the opposite. Maybe I don't touch up my face as much because my skin is looking better. Anyway - I will be stocking up on these little bottles because I have a feeling that between the magazines, Doctor Oz and the reviews on Amazon - this stuff is going to be hard to find.
UPDATE Jan 17, 2012: I've never gone back in and given additional comments on a product here before, but I had to on this one. My skin continues to improve. I am still just shocked because it's been such a short time using it. Bought two more bottles for a girlfriend and her mother this weekend.
UPDATE Feb 23, 2012: I'll keep it brief - I will NEVER be without this product - NEVER.
UPDATE Sept 25, 2012 - Still using it. Still loving it. If I go for several days without it, inflammation on my cheeks starts to return. I have now added a capsule form of this to my vitamin regimen because I want to take advantage of the anti-inflammatory benefits on my system as well.
