Smells good but not worth the money

I am writing this as a warning to others who might find themselves wooed by the hype and marketing surrounding this face oil: it is not worth it. It smells good -- at least to me it does. It has a strong (natural) rose scent that is aggressive and lingering. At times I feel refreshed by it -- other times I feel like it is clinging to me like the smell of burning tires. It has a nice consistently -- it is just an oil like any other but with lots of ingredients. But I just didn't get any benefits from it -- in fact, I think my skin looks very ruddy for a few hours after I pat it in. I've tried using 6-7 drops (waaaaay too many), 1-2 drops, patting it in, "piano-ing" it in, smearing it in with fingers, and strategic droplets directly on my face. Tried it all. Afterwards, I look ruddy with magnified pores and a shiny forehead. I have rather clear skin and I want to keep it that way.

I feel a little bad writing this review -- but for the money, this is a product that should truly deliver. And it just doesn't. It is also hugely overpriced.
