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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I've ordered some mv jojoba oil, thanks everyone

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

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!

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!
