A quality facial oil is an essential in every skincare routine, especially for those with mature skin. Their main function is to help build a resilient lipid barrier and some say that it’s best to apply a facial oil after your serums for an extra layer of hydration or antioxidants.
Inas Anis, a nurse practitioner, esthetician, and anti-aging skin care specialist, tells Dermstore that facial oils “can be combined with other products to get enhanced effects,” pointing out that it’s best to pair a facial oil with a serum when you need to treat an issue. If hydration is your top concern, then Anis says your skin will benefit from mixing your facial oil and moisturizer together.

Promising Review:
"Great product. I use it after cleansing, serum, and moisturizing. This should be the LAST step in your skin care routine before makeup or before going to sleep. It is an oil so sits on top and helps your skin absorbs the moisturizers/etc that you put on underneath. My skin feels plump and moisturized after using this. I am not a big fan of the smell--smells like herbs to me, but the smell goes away quickly and the product is definitely worth it. Better to not have artificial fragrance anyway--ruins your skin." - KittyCat03
