Reasonably priced facial oil for stressed skin?

I am currently using Clarins oil, which is really nice, but just cant justify the expense again.

Previously was using Neal's Yard rose oil, which smelt lovely but didnt really do the job.

The OCM made me spotty and greasy, btw.

I just want a nice, soothing facial oil to put on at night that isnt going to break the bank. Have heard good things about Decleor, but its forty odd quid....too much!

My skin was always great - clear and normal - but since hitting my mid thirties, its combination and a bit spotty, with mild rosacea on my cheeks. Night creams just seem to make my skin greasy and sit on the surface.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Bio oil is great. I used it after having my baby as my skin suddenly looked shocking! I think it helped. You only need a little each use. It's about £6

AD Skin Synergy night oil, a little expensive (£38 for 50ml) on amazon but lasts ages and is the best one ive used for combination skin. You can get 2 bottles for that price on QVC
Decleor oils are nice but they are supposed to be more of a serum (just use 3 drops under moisturiser) rather than replace a night cream.

The Una Brennan Superfacialist range from Boots is really lovely and not too expensive.

Currently reduced from £14.99 to £9.99 too! I can highly recommend the rose cream cleanser.

The Superdrug Vitamin E oil is really quite good, and very cheap.

Super drug one!

Hi I can recommend 2 -

Naissance organic rosehip oil (50mls for £4.99) on Amazon

and M&S Pure range Anti-Ageing overnight oil (12ml for £6)

Both work really well and improve the look and texture of skin noticeably IME

Weleda rose facial oil capsules are wonderful.

Someone wise on here - MissFoodie I think - taught me that if you use an oil at night you should also use something that delivers water, like a serum, too. Face creams are emulsions of oil and water (and magic ingredients obv) so if your skin is dehydrated, oil alone won't help. It feels nice but in terms of doing stuff you might be better off using a good rich and active night cream like a glycolic one.
