Dermatological Advice and Expert Opinions
Apricot kernel oil is best applied to clean, slightly damp skin to help it spread evenly and minimize any greasy feeling. Just a few drops are enough for the face, body, or dry hair ends. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, perform a patch test on the inside of your elbow before first use. This oil nourishes and softens the skin, but it is not a substitute for a moisturizer, which also provides hydration. If you have acne, eczema, a skin lesion, or a persistent reaction, consult a dermatologist or pharmacist.
