When I think about face oils my mind goes straight to greasy, slick, suffocating, and sticky. But after extensively testing the best face oils on the market, I've learned that they're anything but. A well-formulated oil has the power to treat my skin issues (looking at you, acne) and are masters of maintaining skin hydration. You just have to pick the right player (read: jojoba oil, marula oil, moringa oil—the list goes on) to get the results you're after, but once you do, it inevitably leaves you with healthy, hydrated, and glowy skin. Trust me—I have the photos to prove it.
"Facial oils can provide benefits to the skin by acting as occlusives (which act like sealants to keep water in the skin) and emollients (which soften and strengthen the outer layer of the skin by filling in spaces between skin cells)," explains board-certified dermatologist Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, M.D. FAAD. "Skincare oils often form a protective barrier on the outer layer of the skin, providing antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and skin barrier repair properties."
Questioning my oil-loving antics? Try some of the best face oils for yourself. Some of the Marie Claire team and I are sharing our favorite products for oily, sensitive, dry, broken-out, and yes, even normal skin. If you’ve never given a face oil the time of day, consider this the perfect place to start.

I credit this oil for curing my out-of-whack, ultra-sensitive skin a few years back. The formula is extremely rich in fatty acids, which help keep the moisture barrier healthy. It regulated my oil production to help my skin become glowy and no longer greasy. Perhaps the best part about this oil is the unmatched glow. I like to go heavy on the oil in the evenings and use just a few drops in my foundation in the morning for an extra bit of shine.
Key Ingredients: Marula seed oil (hydrating)
Size: 1 fl. oz.
Who It’s For: Containing nothing but 100% marula oil, this nourishing and fast-absorbing formula is great for all skin types, including oily, acne-prone, and even sensitive.
What We Love: One-ingredient formula; Non-comedogenic; Fragrance-free; Good for sensitive skin; Editor-approved
What We Don’t: Some say it sits on the skin
Review for MC: “I was first introduced to the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil by an icon in the beauty industry: former editor-in-chief of Essence Magazine, Susan Taylor. Of course, any beauty recommendation that comes from the mouth of legend is one that I immediately have to partake in, so I went out and got my own bottle. I don’t typically use oils in my routine, as I try to keep it as simple as possible. However, when my skin feels particularly dry or looks dull, this oil ALWAYS saves the day. It doesn’t break me out, which is a big deal for my acne-prone skin, and it brings life back to my skin. I will always keep a bottle in my skin-care cabinet and highly recommend you do, too.” — Ariel Baker, Freelance Beauty Writer

If you’ve ever been weary of retinol because of its somewhat harsh nature, let me introduce you to this new must-have formula from Dr. Brandt. Designed to target dullness, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture while you catch up on your beauty sleep, it couples retinol and hydroxy pinacolone retinoate (HPR), an innovative retinoid that’s potent yet gentle, with hydrating squalane to nourish, not irritate, the skin. What’s more, it contains a special antioxidant-rich superfood complex, Oxiblock-SF, to further increase your glow.
Key Ingredients: Hydroxy pinacolone retinoate (rejuvenating), Oxiblock-SF (antioxidant), retinol (rejuvenating), squalane (hydrating)
Size: 1 fl. oz.

What We Love: Non-irritating formula; Super nourishing feel; Editor-approved
What We Don’t: Can only be used at night
Review for MC: “My skin can handle retinoids pretty well (I use Tretinoin twice a week), but I was still amazed at how gentle this formula was. It acts more like a treatment than a moisturizer—it doesn’t instantly absorb—but feels soothing and nourishing. It’s fully soaked in by morning and I wake up with smooth, supple skin and the healthiest-looking glow. This has earned a permanent spot in my night routine.” — Jenna Igneri, Freelance Beauty Writer

Acaderma really packed the glow-inducing, antioxidant-rich ingredients into this advanced formula, which was designed to target signs of photoaging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and loss of firmness and elasticity.

While I’d need to use it for longer to witness its anti-photoaging effects, it nourishes my skin—I have no winter flaking. It also smells like a creamsicle, which I definitely don’t mind.” — Jenna Igneri, Freelance Beauty Writer

What to Look For in Face Oil
- Type of Oil
There is a wide range of oils to choose from—and the best one for you is closely related to your specific skin type and concern. "For example, for sun-damaged skin, rosehip oil is one of my favorite oils since it has a high ratio of linoleic acid, which has not only been shown to be beneficial for those with acne, but also has been shown to reverse UV-induced hyperpigmentation," explains Dr. Levin.
Oily skin and acne-prone skin, on the other hand, are best off with jojoba oil. "Its structure mimics your own skin's natural sebum, which is appropriate for oily and acne-prone skin while providing moisturization," she adds. Tea tree oil is also a great facial oil alternative to acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. (There is a rare chance of allergic contact dermatitis with tea tree oil so if you develop a rash, it’s important to see a board-certified dermatologist.)
- Treatment
More often than not, these products are packed with additional ingredients that provide supplementary benefits. "Since some facial oils are antioxidants and have vitamins like C and E, they neutralize free radicals to slow the aging process," says Dr. Levin. "Certain facial oils have hydration properties and can be used as a moisturizer to help restore the natural oils in the skin and hair, improve skin hydration, and restore and strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier."
- Fragrance
If you're not sensitive, then by all means, go straight for the deliciously smelling products. If you are sensitive? Steer clear. "Fragrant plant-based oils or essential oils can cause skin irritation, photosensitivity, and even cause allergic reactions," says Dr. Levin. Those with known plant-based allergies or sensitive skin in general should avoid fragrant essential oils. Look for jojoba oil, plum oil, argan oil, or grapeseed oil options.
How to Use Face Oil
When it comes to face oil, a little goes a long way, notes Dr. Reszko. “Apply two to three drops of the face oil to your fingers and gently pat it into your skin, starting from the neck and working your way up and outwards,” she says. As a rule of thumb, face oil should be the very last step in your nighttime skincare routine, and for daytime use, it should be applied after your serums and moisturizers and before your sunscreen and makeup.
However, Dr. Levin notes that you should exercise caution when applying it in the morning. "When using an oil during the day, you do need to be careful about how it interferes with your SPF, as oils have the ability to break down or dilute your sun protection," she says. If you're new to the oil game, stick with nighttime application to start as you grow accustomed to the formula.
Can I Use a Face Oil If I Have Oily Skin?
"It used to be widely believed that using oil in your skin-care routine was a no-no for acne or oily-prone skin. We now understand well that not all oils are the same, and while some facial oils can clog skin and worsen acne, the right oils can actually re-balance the skin's sebum and water ratio as well as help hydrate and moisturize the skin," says Dr. Levin.
That being said, it’s all about finding the right oil, says Dr. Reszko. “Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic oils like jojoba or squalane, which won’t feel heavy when applied or greasy to the touch, to help balance and promote the regulation of sebum production without clogging pores.” Argan, marula, and rosehip oils are also great non-comedogenic choices.
Why Trust Us
To compile this list of the best face oils, we scoured the internet and combed through countless customer reviews to find the top-rated options on the market.

How We Tested
For each face oil we tested, we assessed the formula's texture and finish, how well it absorbed, and its overall efficacy in delivering its promised benefits—whether that was to hydrate, plump fine lines, or boost radiance deeply.
