Beautiful serum
I have PCOS so I have to shave every day. Which means I sometimes get razor bumps. Since using this serum at night, it calms my skin and reduces if not eliminates any bumps that pop up. I love the way it smells, it feels so moisturizing, and my skin glows the next morning after using it. Love elf Beauty products!

Miracle in a jar
Yes, this has a strong scent to it. I found that i grew used to it after a few uses and it isn't as bad. Even if the scent was annoying I would still continue to use it because it works amazingly! This was exactly what my skin needed amd I couldn't be more grateful in how it helped me.

Good
This is nice like most elf products, and it has helped with my acne. It is not a miracle and I expected a little bit more, but still like it. People say it stinks, but it really doesn't. It absorbs good, and is a good night oil.

Zen skin indeed!
Have been using this for four weeks, starting with once a week and now am at 3 times a week. It has made a difference with reducing the redness in my skin and when I do get a zit it doesn’t last as long. Also as someone with dry skin I love how soft my skin is with this. One note for people sensitive to scent- this has tea tree oil which is great for healing but it has a definite herbaceous scent.

Its ok
I usually love Elf products. I like this one too it’s really a lightweight product. But the oil smells really bad. I have to put on moisturizer that has a scent over it to cover up the horrible scent.

Strange smell
Can certainly tell this product is an oil with its texture. Biggest concern with the product is its strange smell. The fragrance makes it an alarming product for me to use.

Something is off
I bought this because it was more affordable than a salicylic acid product I typically use. I really tried to give it a chance, but it genuinely smells so bad & one of the ingredients is literally yellow 11. Why is elf adding dye to skincare products? I don’t have sensitive skin at all but this made my face strangely itchy. Do not buy this..

I’ll Never Know
This could be the most amazing product in the world but I’ll never know because I can’t stand the smell! I used it twice hoping the smell would dissipate or I would get used to it. Nope! I had applied it to my face for the third time and almost immediately I had to wash it off. What is it? I can’t even describe it!

say YES to facial oil!
I normally use Paula's Choice 2% BHA oil, ELF's works just as well and is easier to use! ELF's Clarify Facial Oil is also more reasonably priced. 😊

Great product but smells horrible
Star deducted for smell (it does fade overtime but is pungent) but otherwise wonderful product with quick results. I will continue to purchase.

Not for my fellow oily skin friends...
I really really wanted to like this product, but this is the first elf product I’ve actively hated. Maybe I just didn’t think it through (oil-based serums probably aren’t super great for oily skin), but I was sold because of the fact that this was marketed to all skin types. But beware my oily skin friends: this was NOT non-greasy and it did NOT absorb fast. Each time I tried it I ended up rewatching my face about an hour after application just to get the oily feel off

Meh
The downsides are it does feel greasy and it’s not as fast absorbing as described. It does have a scent but that’s the tea tree oil. Overall I like it but would recommend putting it on before bed but not RIGHT before. Unsure if I will purchase again due to the greasiness.

Amazing
I absolutely adore this product it helps me keep clear skin. My only complaint is I hate the smell, but I usually apply it before bed and sit a while to allow the smell to dissipate
