The oil is exactly as it should be. Its scent is that of oil, nothing added to irritate the skin, as essential oils and fragrances tend to do, so it is exactly what it should be! Its texture... well guess what, the texture of oil. And its effectiveness? Super! I used it on stretch marks that had turned white over time and they dramatically reduced! I was shocked, I didn't expect it.. I also used it on my eyelashes, which immediately improved! They lengthened, strengthened, became denser.. but don't misunderstand, it doesn't work miracles, it strengthens what already exists, if genetically you don't have enough eyelashes, it won't make new ones grow.. if you have small ones that are not visible, well, those will strengthen and possibly do various things. At least that's what happened to me. Finally, I use it as a makeup remover..
Five out of five, I would buy it again and again.

I use it during pregnancy as a moisturizer to prevent stretch marks since it is the only one I see that is natural without any special processing. I will come back and judge the result after some time. In the few days that I have been using it, I am satisfied. I want to emphasize that in my case, the stretch marks were not avoided, but it did not benefit my skin

    Very disappointed with this purchase. Firstly, it is not pure almond oil but it also contains grapeseed oil, which is used for cooking(!), as well as rosemary leaf extract, which unfortunately does not mask the awful smell it has. It does not mention the ratio of these two oils or the method of extraction (cold-pressed or heated). The only positive thing is the bottle, which I will keep and fill with pure cold-pressed almond oil.

    Just bought it so I don't have an opinion on its effectiveness yet, but what I didn't like at all as a first impression is the smell. It literally smells like sunflower oil after frying potatoes... If I had known, I wouldn't have bought it no matter how effective it is, as I have an issue with smells.

    Almond oil of good quality for use on face, body, and hair! The truth is that it is excellent for the body, but for the face and hair, it is better to use it only on dry skin or very dry hair on the ends! However, it is perfect for vacations due to its size!

    I WILL NOT STOP BUYING IT!!!!!! I am 21, I have finished 4 bottles. For lovers of moisturizing oils, it is the perfect product. First, I apply my cream and then this. For younger ages who are starting hydration now, and even on its own as a moisturizing product, it is incredible. I only use it on my face, mainly at night, and honestly, I wake up with very fresh skin. If apivita discontinues it, I will cry.

    It doesn't have a scent, which makes it ideal for me to use during pregnancy. It helps with hydration to prevent stretch marks. The packaging can be opened and refilled if you have bulk almond oil. I just wouldn't repurchase it because it is expensive for me, since I use a large amount throughout the month for 100ml

    I used it during pregnancy along with the cream for stretch marks, and even though I am prone to stretch marks, I didn't get any. It moisturizes and softens the skin, but it takes a while to absorb

    It smells as if you just came out of Mr. Pantelis' tavern while sitting next to the fryer and caught the scent. Unfortunately, I wasted my money because it smells so much like burnt oil that I don't know if it does what it promises. I won't try it or recommend it, and of course there's no reason to buy it again. I was swayed by the brand name and the nice bottle and bought it. Another similar product from a different brand doesn't smell at all.

    Classic pure oil that helps the skin avoid stretch marks!!! During pregnancy, if you combine it with an anti-stretch mark cream, you have made a commendable effort to avoid them.

    Very good for pre-shave. A little massage on the entire face and leave it for 2 minutes to absorb into the beard until I load the brush with soap. The razor glides very smoothly and no irritations are created. For traditional shaving, one of the best pre-shaves and affordable

    I bought it for stretch marks, although I'm not sure if it's the most suitable product, given that it doesn't mention anywhere that it's intended for stretch marks. I just heard that almond oil helps and I wanted something as natural as possible due to pregnancy (I hope it is). It has no scent, it smells like oil.

    I can't say anything about the results yet because I'm in the 6th month of pregnancy and my belly hasn't grown much. For now, however, I haven't developed stretch marks. It absorbs easily, especially if you apply it immediately after showering while you're still wet. Otherwise, it feels like putting oil on yourself that sticks and I personally don't like the feeling.

    In the end, I didn't get stretch marks after pregnancy, but I don't know if it's because of the product because it also depends on the skin

    I use it for eye makeup removal. It is deeply moisturizing and does not leave a feeling of tightness on my dry skin. As for my eyelashes, after three months of use, they have lengthened incredibly!! I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I would like it to have a slightly better cleansing effect.

    Excellent oil! For the face, before sleep and under the moisturizer, you feel that it provides a wonderful sensation and nourishes the skin. Okay, it is only for nighttime use, because no matter what, the oil is greasy. On the hair, it provides a very nice shine, but it requires a minimal amount so that it doesn't look oily. Finally, the scent is a genuine fruit scent, it doesn't have added fragrances to make it smell, but it doesn't bother me at all because it gives me the feeling of a completely natural product.

    It is the best for hair, I apply it mainly on the ends, after washing, instead of any other product, in order to give shine, soften and nourish my dry hair. I do not rinse it off. The fact that it is organic makes me trust it more.

    Excellent oil. It does a very good job.
    It has no smell, it is almost odorless.
    During pregnancy, I used it on my belly and I didn't get any stretch marks.
    I used it on my baby during every diaper change and it never irritated their skin.
    On the body, directly after a bath on wet skin, it provides excellent hydration.
    Excellent hydration and makeup removal on the face.
    It is expensive, but it does an excellent job and Apivita is always a guarantee.

    As for absorbency, it was excellent. I bought it for hand/nail care and hydration after shaving. Unfortunately, the specific one I purchased smelled awful, like burnt. I don't know, maybe it was just that batch. I don't think I'll try buying it again.

    17/10 - I took the oil to the pharmacy in my neighborhood and they told me that's how real almond oil smells, without any additives. So, the other oils I was buying were not real almond oils but oils with additives. With 3-4 drops of any essential oil you like, it's the best.

    Very good. It is quickly absorbed by the skin and does not leave an oily feeling. Ideal for dry and very dry skin.

    Very satisfied with the product. Thick oil with a light scent of "oil". I use it for baby and child massage.

    I bought it to use as an eye makeup remover, I am satisfied with the fact that it does not irritate the eyes, but it is very greasy. Even though I have dehydrated skin, it leaves a strong greasiness on my skin. I would not buy it again.

    Very good! I have dry skin and I tried it once when I ran out of face cream. I was very satisfied and I didn't buy face or eye cream again. It absorbs almost instantly and I use it morning and night. I highly recommend it, especially if you have dry skin.
