I am relatively new to Marie Veronique, but have so far been overjoyed with the results from the Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion (first retinol *ever* to not give me any irritation!) and my skin is responding well so far to the C-Therapy Serum, the Barrier Restore serum, and the B3 Soothing Serum. I was excited for this shaving oil because I have fairly sensitive skin (I can only shave once a week-ish) and am always looking for something to soothe and make the experience a calmer one. Unfortunately, this oil is wreaking havoc on my skin and potentially undoing some of the benefits of the abovementioned products. First, I need to use many times more than the instructions say to get a decent foam going against a pretty scant beard (if I don't, my blade immediately nicks my skin) and the three times I've used it have resulted in small breakouts on my cheeks and upper lip, and general irritation at the neck. My skin is also rather dry and tense at the end of the shave (the opposite of how my skin feels when I apply my other MV products). The ingredients are wonderful, as they are with all MV products, so I'm not really sure why this is causing such issues. Fortunately it isn't as expensive as the other MV products, but $35+ is still an investment in a teeny bottle of shaving oil. This in no way discourages me from continued use of other MV products, but this was a disappointment.
