    I've been using coconut oil, on face and hands especially, for almost a year, and love it. (I get the organic virgin stuff from Puritan's Pride when they have a buy 1 get 2 free deal, and better yet when they add free shipping.) It has a lovely coconut odor when first applied, but that goes away almost instantly; no fragrance is added. It's also good for cooking, e.g. sautéing or baking. I'll reorder next spring, unless I use way more in cooking that I have so far. It's liquid above 78°, solid below, but spreads easily even from hard state as it warms on skin. I have rosacea, and coconut oil has been working better for me than what I used to use, both prescription and OTC. A lighter weight, oil free/fragrancefree/dye free product is Unicure, available online, that I've been using for about 40 years, starting with my hairdresser's recommendation as a crème rinse, but have also found it to be good anti-itch moisturizer all over, both after shower before toweling off and later, anytime. I have untra-sensitive skin, and fragrance allergies, and rarely use anything but these two items anymore.

On the large pump container, 1 or 2 light pumps will do the entire face. I've had one of those containers last a year when I was using it on an almost daily basis.
    I also use Clinique's DDL. I use the one for the dry to normal skin. I have very sensitive skin and am allergic to many products. I also watch for their "specials" where you usually get a mini which I love to travel with. I do live in the South though so it's very humid and I also inherited the "good genes" from my mom. I'm 63 and have very few wrinkles!! Clinique DDL has been my constant for many years. If they ever change their ingredients, I'm probably going to be in trouble!!
