Anyone know a good facial oil for nighttime use for combination highly reactive skin??

[Indecisivejo]

That's it really, my skin is super sensitive/reactive combination dehydrated. I want to use a nice facial oil a few nights a week but all the ones I've tried have either stung and made skin go red and feel a bit "burnt" or just do not absorb at all so I'm left with a very oily face literally all night (I'm not using too much) any recommendations?

[IloveCheese11]

I really like the Caudalie polyphenol overnight detox oil. It doesn't leave any oily residue and my skin feels calmed in the morning. It is not super moisturising but seems to balance my slightly dry skin out. It's £29 so not cheap but not super expensive and you only use 5 drops.

I have also used Sunday Riley's Good Genes which was lovely on my skin but really £££ at £80!

I'm using 100% argan oil (cold-pressed), bought from the food aisle of the health store. I smell like peanut butter just after using, but otherwise good!

[Beautifullymixed]

Well done OP!
I hope you love it as much as I do.

[Indecisivejo]

I've ordered some mv jojoba oil, thanks everyone

[Beautifullymixed]

Meant to add, I also have rosacea, oily yet dehydrated skin, prone to hormonal cystic acne - and my skin adores this oil.

[Beautifullymixed]

Another one for jojoba oil.
I also love grapeseed and argan, but jojoba is so smooth and silky.

I use it under my moisturiser, on top of my serum, I also add a drop to my foundation (Wayne Goss tip), for an ultra glowy look.

I put a drop on hair ends to add moisture and rub into my body after a shower.
I absolutely love it.

You can get free samples from khiels. They have 3 that I know of. I love them all. They are designed to be used under face cream. Since using them I've lost bumps and skin tags and my skin feels smooth and a bit less red. I have acne rosacea under control for spots but not for redness/sore skin and have to keep on top of it.

Almond oil. I read about it on here a year ago and have been using it since. My skin is very sensitive/reactive/rosacea prone and dehydrated. It has done it the world of good. It's a couple of quid for a massive bottle in Tesco. Seriously is the best thing I've done for my skin. All other products I use are avens which work well with it.

This one...

[CallarMorvern]

The Waitrose Pure range has a facial oil, think it contains almond oil? Very reasonably priced. I was looking at it last night, but didn't buy. I'd never put anything on my skin, but I feel I ned to start doing something.

OP said she has already tried the Ren one. Just check the ingredients, Jo. Most of the recommendations have essential oils.

[Chicinwellies]

Liz Earls superskin was the worst of all I've tried, and ren vita omega3 optimum skin oil. Fab stuff X

[OCSockOrphanage]

I liked blue orchid following a stressful period, but now love marula oil best. Cold pressed and as plaina s you can. I got a big bottle in TH Maxx (100ml) for 6.99.

[MumboNumber5]

REN omega serum oil is great. I've got a sample size bottle of EL night repair and my skin is HIDEOUS after two uses (thankfully I didn't buy a full-size bottle!)

[Kennington]

Perhaps avoid get branded stuff - a pure cold pressed oil is great.

[Only1scoop]

The Elizabeth Arden new body and face oil, really versatile fragrance free and you need the tiniest bit.

[ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe]

Clarins Blue Orchid is lovely, very calming.

[Shop]

Tamanu oil is amazing! Doesn't smell the best though.

[FeliciaJollygoodfellow]

I love Nars Monoi oil and Lush solid oil - I forget what it's called but it's sort of taupe coloured. Both are fragranced although natural fragrance though so may not be the best for you.

[QueenofLouisiana]

Darphin's chamomile oil. I have sensitive skin and rosacea and this stuff is lovely on my skin.

[MrsT2007]

Maybe try tamanu oil?

[Indecisivejo]

The ren was the omega serum or something like that, it has bloody fragrance in it!
May go with jojoba then as ur right most essential oils are a problem for me especially over a period of time. What will jojoba do for me just used a few nights a week as opposed to not using it if that makes sense?

[Nabootique]

They all (as far as I know, barring the rosehip oil) contain essential oils though, don't they? I'm not sure about the REN as I don't know which it is, but other than that. If you are sensitive essential oils can be a real problem, and you will be better off with something plain seed oil, or a blend of them.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Perhaps oils aren't for you if you've tried that many? I use Aveeno cream, marvelous stuff for reactive , dry skin.
