I Was a Face-Oil Virgin Until I Realized It Could Transform My Super-Dry Skin

This face oil is my go-to. First, it's formulated with 22 botanicals, so it's clean and nourishing. Second, it just feels so damn luxurious. It soaks into my skin really quickly and doesn't leave it greasy. My skin is always softer, smoother, and extra glowy after applying.

Pros: 22 botanical ingredients, clean formula, quick-absorbing, and non-greasy

Cons: Pricey

Key Ingredients: Alfalfa, calendula, grape seed, dandelion, nettle, lavender, carrot seed, lemon | Size: 1.01 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

Customer review: "This serum is insanely expensive, but also insanely good. It's like a bottle of love for your skin. Hyperpigmentation? It fades dark spots. Acne? I haven’t had a zit since I started using it 6 months ago. Sensitive skin? I can now start using chemical exfoliates, which I've never been able to do. This stuff is amazing! It's expensive, but I no longer need serums and oils and moisturizers—just this stuff."

Because this oil-serum is a hybrid, it feels super lightweight and a little bit more watery than other face oils, which we love. It's so good at curing dryness, and we love that it gives the skin a radiant finish.

Pros: Oil-serum hybrid texture, won't clog pores, quick absorbing and non-greasy

Cons: Pricey
