RODIN Olio Lusso Luxury Face Oil - 1 oz | Organic Anti-Aging Facial Oil for Dry Skin | Perfect for Night Routine & Glowing Skin Care

This stuff really is just the caviar of face oils. It smells like heaven (neroli and jasmine), feels silky, looks fantastic on your bathroom shelf or bedside table - and makes your skin look all dewy and plumped when you use it in your skincare rituals. I purchased it on a whim after a particularly fruitful period of work and I absolutely adored it to the last drop. There's something about using a $200 face oil that also just makes you FEEL good, like your life must be going super well and your priorities are all in line. It puts a spring in your step. And the scent - oh the lush, intoxicating scent of it!That having been said, I do have a few caveats about recommending this. The first one is that it's probably honestly not worth the price. When creating skincare products it can be difficult to maintain shelf stability, so sometimes buying is a lot better than DIY since many companies have that science down. In this case, though, it's a blend of readily available oils and you really could genuinely make this yourself for significantly cheaper. You would just want to be very sure to use a blue or brown bottle to protect your oils from being damaged by the sun - and when in doubt, keep your oils in the fridge. That leads me to my next point - the clear glass container looks lovely but it's not the best way to store a face oil. Unless you live in a sunless basement (and oddly enough I do!) it's going to be hard to keep Rodin Oil from deteriorating from sunlight. Lastly, the scent really really works for me but it's very perfumey and may not be for everyone. You have to really commit to loving jasmine and neroli or you're not going to be too happy.If you do decide to take the Rodin dive, and I can't blame you - I would recommend keeping it in the fridge to preserve all the good stuff and keep it safe from the sun. If you're seeking something comparable - pretty clear glass bottle and all - and don't do DIY (I sure don't) at a cheaper price point, I have recently been really enjoying this blend:
