What the product description says
“This ultra-lightweight, multi-use oil helps lock in hydration and soothe stressed out skin.”
Source: Ulta

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

    i'm always weary of facial oils because they tend to break me out but this one was actually really nice. i have combination/oily skin and i was only able to use this at night, but i didn't ever wake up oily or greasy, and it never caused me any breakouts. it gave my skin a really nice, healthy shine and didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. the only reason i stopped using it was because i wanted to eliminate all products with fragrance and plant extracts from my routine to pin down where my sensitivity was coming from. can't speak for any anti-aging properties as i did not know the product stated it could help with that, but i didn't really notice much happening with that.
