My face is notoriously dry, and like many people, it’s at its most parched in the winter. I avoid wearing makeup daily since it often emphasizes my flaky patches, and the process of removing it at the end of the day just irritates my skin more. So, I try to save my full-makeup looks for special occasions.

While I’m not the most confident going bare-faced since I deal with rosacea and acne scarring, I’ve finally embraced a natural appearance thanks to a new product that just dropped on February 8 — The Super Intensive Face Oil from U Beauty, and it’s now my go-to for no-makeup days.

U Beauty The Super Intensive Face Oil 

I’ll be honest: Face oils intimidate me because while I have dry skin, I worry about clogged pores and acne flare-ups as a result. This product put my worries at ease and has given me a new lease on loving my skin thanks to the post-facial glow it gives my complexion after each use. 

Formulated to combat chronically dry and seasonally dehydrated skin, the face oil acts as a moisture shield with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and fatty acids for healthy hydration that lasts for hours. It soothes and softens signs of aging too. Within two weeks, I noticed that my forehead wrinkles and the lines around my eyes diminished.

A little goes a long way with this product — one pump, to be exact — which I massage into my skin both morning and night after cleansing. Since using it, my skin stays plump, hydrated, and dewy all day. The texture is thick, so I don’t apply it under makeup to avoid separation, and on the days that I do choose to embark on my full beauty routine, I apply the face oil solely at night.

As someone who also likes to streamline my skincare routine with as few products as possible, the oil lets me skip other steps in my routine, like applying vitamin C and E and hyaluronic acid serums, since they’re already among the product’s impressive ingredients. My skin has never looked more radiant or felt smoother. 

I’m already a loyal fan (and our editors are, too) of U Beauty’s other luxury skincare finds like The Super Tinted Hydrator, Resurfacing Compound, and The Super Hydrator, so it comes as no surprise that I’d fall in love with the brand’s latest formula as well.
