Even the best facial oils can backfire when it comes to skin hydration and elasticity. Contrary to what some people think, face creams generally don't clog pores, cause breakouts, or make skin excessively oily. Instead, these popular favorites help lock in moisture for firmer, more vibrant skin . And if you have naturally oily skin, applying a few base drops to your skin won't overproduce it.
In addition, the best facial oils are also extremely versatile; in the colder months, they are perfectly covered with a thick cream, and in seasons such as spring and winter, oil is a great option for a light moisturizer. Choose from our favorite oils for all skin types with advice from facial specialist Candice Marino.

Which oil is suitable for the face?
Some low-comedogenic ingredients to look for include jojoba oil, jujube oil, squalene, rosehip seed oil, sea buckthorn oil, blackcurrant seed oil, and olive oil, Marino says.
What is the best anti-aging oil?
“Oils rich in antioxidants are ideal for anti-aging because they fight free radicals that cause skin cracking, wrinkles, pigmentation, and other aging problems,” says Marino.
Does using face oil clog pores?
Using one of the best facial oils, especially a non-comedogenic one, shouldn't clog pores, but Marino recommends exfoliating regularly before applying.
"It's important to remember that exfoliation plays an important role in the overall health and appearance of the skin," she said. Dead cells and oil stick together to form a sticky substance, forming a film that prevents moisture from entering and can lead to breakage.
