Face Oil for Nourished, Balanced and Glowing Skin
A face oil is one of the most concentrated and versatile products you can add to your skincare routine.
At SKØN Skincare, we work with carefully selected plant and seed oils chosen according to their individual lipid profiles, fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants and sensory qualities.
A well-formulated facial oil should not simply sit heavily on the surface of the skin. The right combination of lighter and richer oils can soften the skin, support its natural barrier and help reduce moisture loss without leaving an excessively greasy finish.
Our face oils are created for different skin types and needs, including dry, dehydrated, sensitive, combination, mature and blemish-prone skin.
What Is a Face Oil?
A face oil is an oil-based skincare product made primarily from plant oils, seed oils, oil-soluble vitamins, antioxidants and other lipid-soluble ingredients.
Unlike a traditional face cream, a waterless face oil does not contain a water phase. This gives it a concentrated texture, which means that only a few drops are normally needed for the entire face.
Face oils work primarily by supplying the skin with lipids and helping to reduce the loss of moisture from the skin's surface. They can leave the skin feeling softer, smoother, more supple and comfortable.
An oil does not add water to the skin in the same way as a water-based hydrating serum. Instead, it helps support the skin's lipid barrier and retain the moisture that is already present.
This is why face oil often works particularly well when applied to slightly damp skin or layered with a moisturising serum or face cream.
Waterless Skincare with a Concentrated Formula
Face oils are waterless skincare products. Because the formulation does not contain added water, it can contain a high concentration of oils, vitamins and lipid-soluble ingredients.
The result is a rich yet economical product that can last for a long time, as only a small amount is required with each application.
The advantages of a waterless face oil include:
A concentrated formula
A small amount needed per application
A rich source of skin-compatible lipids
A versatile product that can be used alone or with a cream
Less unnecessary volume from added water
A luxurious texture that is easy to adjust to your skin's needs

Frequently Asked Questions About Face Oil
What does a face oil do?
A face oil supplies the skin with lipids and helps reduce moisture loss. It softens the skin, supports the skin barrier and leaves the skin feeling supple and nourished. Depending on the formula, it may also deliver vitamins, antioxidants and targeted active ingredients.
Is face oil suitable for oily skin?
Yes. Oily skin can still be dehydrated and benefit from a lightweight face oil. Choose a formula with lighter oils such as grape-seed or jojoba and begin with one or two drops.
What is the difference between a face oil and a face serum?
A traditional face serum is water-based and delivers concentrated actives. A face oil is lipid-based and nourishes the skin barrier. An oil-based serum — like those from SKØN SKINCARE — combines both: targeted actives in a nourishing oil base.
When should I apply face oil in my skincare routine?
Apply face oil after cleansing and any water-based products, and before or after your moisturiser. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.
Can face oil replace moisturiser?
For some skin types, a face oil provides enough nourishment on its own. Dry or mature skin often benefits from using both — apply serum or moisturiser first, then seal with a few drops of face oil.
Which face oil is best for dry skin?
Look for richer oils with oleic acid such as argan, baobab or peach-kernel oil. SKØN SKINCARE's face oils for dry skin combine nourishing plant oils with vitamins and antioxidants to restore softness and comfort.
Which face oil is best for anti-ageing?
Choose a face oil containing vitamins A, C and E, microalgae or marine extracts. These ingredients support skin firmness, radiance and the appearance of fine lines. SKØN SKINCARE's oil-based serums are formulated specifically for this purpose.
How many drops of face oil should I use?
Start with 2–3 drops for the face and neck. Less is more — the oil should leave the skin feeling soft, not greasy. Adjust based on your skin type and the season.
Can I use face oil under makeup?
Yes. Apply a small amount, allow it to settle for a minute, then apply moisturiser and sunscreen before makeup. Use only 1–2 drops to avoid a slippery base.
Does face oil clog pores?
Not necessarily. Whether an oil suits your skin depends on its composition, the amount used and your individual skin. Lighter oils rich in linoleic acid — such as grape-seed oil — are generally better tolerated by combination and blemish-prone skin.
