There’s no doubting that of all the beauty products out there, face oil is definitely one of the most divisive. The reason? While some claim that using face oil actually balances oily skin—resulting in less oil production and a natural, lit-from-within glow—others believe that it’s too heavy for some skin types, with certain oils actually clogging pores and exacerbating breakouts.
So despite celebrities like Pixi Geldof and Julia Roberts raving about the benefits of using argan oil and olive oil on their faces, I’ve remained slightly nervous about regularly slathering something so greasy onto my spot-prone skin. That is, until I learned about another type of oil that not only promised a whole host of skin benefits but claimed to be the perfect face oil for those of us with oily, acne-prone or sensitive complexions.
