This is the real deal - correct Camelia type from Japan and a staple for most Japanese households. Yhe price here is excellent and saves me time, gas, etc. This brand is the only one we use and this precious dry oil doubles as a moisturizer, primer, flyaway controller, cuticle oil, nail conditioner, many more uses. Just 4 drops massaged on face, followed by a spritz of mineral water mixed with a bit of aloe vera juice and a quick dry-off touch with rice paper is a perfect makeup primer. I use more ubder each eye at night and bit more for eyelashes and brows with camphor oil for thickness and growth..I first learned anout it decades ago from my Japanese friend who dragged many bottles back from her visits home between college terms. A bottle is generously sized and lasts almost a year with frequent use if just for face alone. Please note that most brands (even $$$$) sell the wrong genome of camelia grown in China, taking advantage of buyers' ignorance. This brand is gold standard, so don't fall prey to higher prices as a sign of quality. I am often mistaken for someone a decade or more younger. Although gentics and lifestyle contribute, this inexpensive workhorse for over two decades deserves credit. I've walked off long flights looking as fresh as a daisy (extra oil to fight dry air, doubled to 10 drops before heading outside in blustery winter cold, always carry a .5oz reusable drop dispenser in my purse and even use as a base for facial exfoliation or a base for face shaving with the longer Japanese blades (best on-going exfoliation around). Thankfully, Amazon's prices are just a couple of dollars off from my local Japanese store so no need to wait. I vary Amazon vendors, but most ship from Japan. It is my favorite stocking stuffer and beauty secret (except for telling anyone willing to listen, lol). A drop of rose oil or another fave essential oil kicks it up a notch - I've recommended it as a carrier oil for skin conditions or own-mixed fragrance masterpieces (I love my bergamot/vetiver/patchouli 'winter mix'. So, buy it, you will not be disappointed!  Read Less
