I have been using this for about 6 months now and have really noticed a result, I am a convert!!!
I started off using the kit for oily skin and when I first set my eyes on this I thought no way this does not make sense putting oil onto oily skin 
What the hell I gave it ago one morning after I had cleansed and toned. You need to wait a few minutes for the oil to sink into your skin before you do your make-up and you don't need much. I am still using the bottle I bought 6 months ago and am just about half way through.
The oil itself is like a translusent orange colour. The ingredients are:
Anthyllis Vulneraria extract, Apricot Kernal oil, Sweet Almond oil, Peanut oil, Carrot extract, Hypericum Perforatum extract, Wheat Germ oil, Calendula Officinalis extract, Neem Leaf extract, Jojoba oil, Fragrance Citral, Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Farnesol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Eugenol, Cocoa Butter.
The best thing about this was that I had no oily outbreaks as the day went on, another thing when I used to use oil free moisturisers, my skin always felt slightly tacky afterwards - you don't get this with the Day Oil and even at the end of the day your skin feels nice and soft and not oily.
When this runs out I will be replacing it for sure  |

Wow, you make me feel like I've been using way too much! I ran out of toner and normalizing oil in about 5 months. Maybe I need to start moderating my use.  |

6 months?  I thought you had to use this stuff (most of the Dr H products come to think about it) within 3 months of opening? |

Thanks for posting the ingredients - sounds very nice. It's counterintuitive isn't it? It doesn't seem like the logical thing to do, but everything I've read indicates that using natural plant oils is very good for oily skin.
Must try in the future.  |

| It's funny....the ingredients posted here are fairly differeny than the ones (formerly) posted on the Dr H site, and on the site I purchased from. I wish I hadn't thrown out my box and papers so that I could compare. |

I also fell in love with Dr.H's stuffs recently, I love everything except the contour eye cream, it has a yellow tint to it and it doesn't get absorbed, and it's odd under day light (I don't use makeup), so you can imagine, having a yellow oil RING around my eyes, not exactly attractive

| At first I liked the eye contour cream, but I became less thrilled with it as time went on...especially since it started irritating my eyes, probably due to jar contamination. I -just- purchased the revitalizing eye cream to use instead . . . I plan to review it after a while! I've only used it once so far but it seems pretty light and kind of invigorates the eye area. |

| Know what you mean with that eye balm - it was like putting lip balm on my eyes!!! |

| You know, it's funny. When I first picked up the eye balm I thought it was just GROSS. I felt like it was the equivalent of putting Kiehl's lip balm on my eyes!!! I will say this about it though - long after it has been replaced by other eye products, since it is one of the few eye treatments that is ok to use on the eyelid, I do still use it for that purpose - especially on days when I suffer from "tired eyes" - ONLY on my eyelids though. Despite the yucky consistency of it, I love the effect. Hard to explain but it makes me kinda look like I have bedroom eyes...very secksy |

I got this oil last week, been using it, LOVE LOVE LOVE it, I don't have oily skin though, but it's great.
I am also trying out other Dr.H products, got the Quince day cream today, will try tomorrow.
So far, I love every products Dr.H makes, except for the firming mask and the cleansing milk, just not for my skin type.
