Right now I'm using it more like a serum and then following up with the NBL (Nourishing Body Lotion from Wen) as the moisturizer. I haven't been doing it for long so I don't know the long term effects but so far it feels and looks really good!

I use it on my face occasionally, not exclusively (and only at night, not prior to applying makeup). My skin is very oily, so I can use it in place of a moisturizer, not in addition to one. I haven't used it on my face for months, I did use it fairly often this past winter.

Thank you. Smiley Surprised)

I use TT as an overnight scalp treatment, but I actually put some on every other night. Not the full four droppers, just dotting the scalp and massaging it in. Morning and night after washing face and spritzing with TT RTM, I use my eye cream and serum, then 3-4 drops on TT oil to my whole face. I will occasionally use a moisturizer at night. However, before using IT Cosmetics CC Cream daily my skin still felt like it needed morning and night moisturizer. Now almost never.

Forgot to mention I also take it with me to the salon, I put a dropper in my hair color.

Mainly overnight scalp treatments for me, too, but when I remember it's also good for mosquito bites.

Yes!!! I was outside a lot this past Holiday weekend, the first day I didn't use anything and I got a few bites. I put the TT oil directly on the bites and the itching stopped and the swelling went down. The second and third day I put TT lotion on and some TT oil on and I didn't get bitten! And right now I have the TT oil on my scalp that I'll leave on all day today and wash it out tonight! (I don't use TT at night because I'm a cat owner and this way I don't have to worry about them accidentally getting any on them. ) I just use it during the day when I'm off and try to leave it on 6-8 hours.

Bethany, I have a cat, too........what is the issue with cats and it getting on them?

Pure TT oil is toxic to cats. The Cleansing Conditioner has very little pure TT oil and the TT treatment oil has a mix of carrier oils with a little pure TT oil. And even though it's a small amount of pure TT oil in them, I'm just cautious. I just use the Treatment oils during my days off when I won't have my head down on anything that the cats could get into. :-)

I use it around my scalp line where I was very dry. After two days, dryness is gone!

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up........she probably won't get in to it (my cat), but it's good to know for sure!

I've noticed my fingernails are growing like crazy.......of course, they get a treatment any time I use it anywhere else! I've been mainly using it on dry, red patches on my forehead. I've been putting a drop in my Hope in a Jar that I put on my forehead. I've noticed a difference in just the few days I've used it!
