Let’s talk face oils. Not the greasy, heavy, “sits-on-top-of-your-face” kind. I'm talking about lightweight, deeply nourishing, barrier-repairing face oils that actually work.
I started using Nourish & Glow about 8 weeks ago when my skin was acting all the way up—rough patches, dullness, dark spots from old breakouts… you name it. I had tried everything, but my skin just felt off.
Fast forward two months and my skin literally feels like velvet. My tone is more even, the texture is buttery smooth, and those patchy spots? Fading fast. Here’s why:
The Star Ingredients (And What They Actually Do)
Spoiler: every ingredient in this oil is working overtime. Let’s break it down.
Rosehip Seed Oil
Think: Bright, even, and balanced.
High in natural vitamin A (aka trans-retinoic acid) and omega-3s, this oil helps fade dark spots, support collagen production, and even out skin tone. It’s the reason my hyperpigmentation started to visibly lighten in the first few weeks.
In Plain Words: Brightening face oil for uneven skin tone
Squalane
Think: Hydration without the heaviness.
Squalane mimics your skin’s natural oils, so it absorbs fast without clogging pores. It’s the backbone of the formula—locking in moisture while making the other ingredients work better. It’s especially great if you’re skipping thick creams during summer.

Cacay Oil
Think: Retinol, but make it gentle.
Cacay is rich in natural retinoids and vitamin E—which help with skin smoothing and boosting elasticity. I honestly credit this one (and argan) for giving me that velvety skin feel I can’t stop touching.
In Plain Words: Natural retinol alternative for sensitive skin
Argan Oil
Think: Soft, calm, and nourished.
This is that comfort oil. Packed with omega-6 and antioxidants, argan helps soften rough texture, reduce inflammation, and make your skin feel plump and calm. If you’re barrier-damaged or chronically dry, this is your new best friend.
In Plain Words: Repairing face oil for dry sensitive skin
Passionfruit Seed Oil
Think: Calm & balance.
Light, silky, and loaded with linoleic acid—this oil helps reduce inflammation, gently regulate oil production, and keep sensitive skin happy. It’s what keeps the whole formula feeling weightless.
In Plain Words: Face oil for redness and reactive skin
Vitamin E
Think: Protective and stabilizing.
Not just here for the vibes—vitamin E helps extend the shelf life and acts as an antioxidant to support your skin barrier. It works synergistically with the other oils to calm, heal, and protect.
In Plain Words: Antioxidant face oil for skin barrier support
Why I Use This Instead of Moisturizer (Especially in Summer)
Let’s be real—heavy creams in the heat? No thank you. What I love about Nourish & Glow Face Oil is how it replaces both my serum and moisturizer when I want to keep things light. It sinks in fast, layers beautifully with sunscreen, and doesn’t feel greasy even on hot days.
You just need 2–4 drops, press it in after cleansing (and toner or essence, if you use one), and you’re good to go.
In Plain Words: This is a great face oil for minimalist skincare routine
🌙 How I Layer It in My Routine
Morning Routine:
- Cleanser
- Hydrating mist or toner
- 2–3 drops of Nourish & Glow
- Sunscreen
Evening Routine:
- Double cleanse
- Exfoliant (2–3x a week)
- Hydrating toner or essence
- 3–4 drops of Nourish & Glow
- Optional: occlusive balm on top (for extra barrier support)
Final Thoughts: It’s Not Just a Glow, It’s a Transformation
The way my skin feels now is wild. Like… I wish I could bottle it. (Well, I guess I kind of did 😅). It’s smoother, more even, and feels resilient—like it can handle weather changes, stress, and life without flaring up.
If you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, or just want a simple-but-effective face oil that does it all, this is your sign.
