The 10 Best Face Oils for Dry and Flaky Skin

“I like Juno Antioxidant and Superfood Face Oil,” Howe says. “It’s got potent antioxidant and anti-aging effects, in addition to skin barrier repair capability.”

“In addition to a nourishing oils complex (which includes jojoba, avocado and olive oils), this SK II product delivers a great deal of hydration (ie moisture or water) to the skin.” Howe says. “As an added bonus, it also contains their signature anti-aging agent, Pitera.”

Kiehl’s lightweight formula is packed with ginger root, sunflower, and tamanu oils, ideal for evening skin texture and boosting radiance.

Grape seed oil, the main ingredient in this Caudalie formula, contains “high levels of linoleic acid.” “[This acid] is so good at protecting the skin barrier,” Howe says.

If you can shell out the money, Fresh Beauty’s Crème Ancienne Face Oil Elixir is worth the luxurious splurge. The formula is made by hand in a monastery and contains meadowfoam seed, seabuckthorn, and black currant oils to improve fine lines and suppleness.

A cult favorite, True Botanicals Pure Radiance Oil uses a combination of kiwi extract and chia seed to help lock in moisture, while papaya and passion fruit seed extract work to purify. 

Not only is Tata Harper’s signature green bottle packed with powerful antioxidants and Vitamin C, the packaging is certified green at Sephora, too.

Watch dull skin rise like a phoenix after using Herbivore’s glow-inducing facial oil. The formula contains fatty acids to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty free. 

Got redness? Cancel out spots with anti-inflammatory geranium extract. Vitamin-rich orange and neroli essential oils promote skin cell growth for fresh-faced radiance. 

Elemis’ face oil takes its Superfood name literally, with plant-based ingredients like broccoli, flax seed, and daikon radish. The high concentration penetrates skin cells to deliver moisture directly.
