I fly a lot and my skin really dries out in airplanes. This product has been pretty perfect for toting along on flights - it's small enough for TSA standards, and when I use it in flight, the oil absorbs quickly into my skin without being sticky, goopy or shiny. It's a bit pricey to use for everyday at home, but Mario Badescu is, after all, a high-profile name in skin care. Beyond, that, it works really well for when and where I need it most.
