This cult fave from Sunday Riley actually helped made acne facial oils a thing — and it goes further than just helping with breakouts, clearing pores, and smoothing out the skin with its 1.5 percent salicylic acid. It also includes incredibly hydrating ingredients like milk thistle and cucumber seed oil to balance the potentially drying effects of that aforementioned salicylic acid.
Specifically designed for oily and combination skin, this weightless oil incorporates the highest quality Australian eco-friendly tea tree to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and enlarged pores. Squalane, rosemary extract, and groundcherry extract also contribute to this wonder product to lock-in hydration and keep the skin calm.
The star ingredients in this luxury oil are blue tansy and Egyptian lapis lazuli with azulene — and both ingredients are known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects. More clarity in your blemish-prone skin, a calm, less irritated complexion, and major hydration (that leaves the skin balanced and hydrated) is all within reach.
For those who enjoy a more "all-natural" experience, this facial oil should be right up your alley. It uses only the highest quality essential oils in its formula that can help to clarify your complexion, nourish it back to health, and keep it looking more balanced and youthful. With key ingredients like algae extract, hemp, pumpkin, and grape seed oil we can see exactly why.
Okay, so we're totally aware that that isn't exactly an oil (it's more of a serum), but we figured it was an honorable mention that should be included for anyone who wants to take baby steps into the world of facial oils. This incredibly lightweight formula can be applied before moisturizer to help blemish-prone skin chill out. It uses 5 percent niacinamide and zinc PCA to cool the skin, balance the pH, and make sure breakouts stay far, far away.
