> 3 dayIve purchased this item multiple times. Now Foods almond oil is a good quality carrier oil, which is what I use it for. For me, its an acceptable substitute for jojoba, which has become prohibitive due to the prices. To be brutally honest, Mountain Rose Herbs would be my first choice, but with shipping costs, and because the quality is so similar, I choose the Now brand.

> 3 dayThis product came on time with no spills or problems of any kind. I use almond oil in my bath bombs, homemade soaps and creams, and, in the middle of the winter, straight onto my skin after showering before i dry off, sometimes in my bath. Its also a great massage oil. I should probably buy it by the gallon. :) this was an ok price. Ill order from this vender again, unless the price goes up i guess. It seems to be a good quality oil as most NOW oils are.

Greater than one weekI love the soft skin I get from using almond oil to cleanse my face. I rub it with my clean fingertips for a couple minutes, sometimes let it just sit on my skin for a couple more minutes and massage again or just use a warm damp washcloth to wipe away the grime. It lifts the greasiness of my skin out and cleans my pores and leaves my face soft. I used to use a sensitive skin soap and moisturizer and I had all kinds of ruddiness and dryness. This almond oil is also a good body moisturizer after a shower. It does take a few minutes to absorb though. For me, that is not a problem as I bathe at night but I wouldnt recommend it as a moisturizer if you need to quickly dress and get to work after your shower.

Greater than one weekAfter finishing a single bottle, I reordered the 2 pack. I am an adult with acne prone skin on chin and cheeks, along with dry patches along laugh lines and eyebrows. I use this oil on my dry spots on my face, and also as an all over body moisturizer. The trick is putting it on as soon as you dry off from a hot shower or bath, that way your body soaks up the oil and it will dry fast and penetrate the skin deeper. Apply it that way, then try applying it when your skin is cold and you will see what I am talking about. Reaping the benefits of this oil, and also shea butter, is all about learning and accepting that it needs to be applied in a more specific way than ordinary store bought lotions. If you apply it any old way then yes your skin will feel greasy due the oil not penetrating your skin as well, so more oil sits on top of the skin instead of moisturizing it. I actually hated using this stuff at first, until through trial and error I learned how my body absorbed it effectively. After awhile, when you go back to using store bought lotions you will notice how they leave a thin plasticy coating that feels kind of like dried hair conditioner on your hands, because guess what... there are types of synthetic chemicals that are basically liquid, elastic forms of stabilizers in these lotions that are like liquid plastic. And you dont want that crap getting absorbed in your body over years and years. From the crap I went through seeing my normal healthy body degenerate over the years to building up such a high intolerance and pain for synthetic ingredients in food like stabilizers and preservatives, I now know that this stuff has the potential to permanently mess up your health. It happens over a long period of time, but it does happen. It is important to not let your body absorb synthetic toxins in store bought moisturizers, use natural ones instead. They actually help heal your skin.
