A good facial oil is the skin’s best friend, especially as it ages.
Facial oils hydrate, nourish and seal in moisture. And ELEMIS facial oils are abundant in anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals and natural extracts such as superfoods and seaweeds. They are also formulated to be beautifully lightweight and absorb easily, so they suit all skin types. Yes, really, all skin types – even oily skin. This is because facial oils support the moisture barrier, helping to create balance so that the skin is not over-producing natural oils (which is what happens when you strip it with harsh products in an attempt to dry it out and quell the flow). It feels counter-intuitive, but treating oiliness with oil really does work. Combination skin evens right out, and of course, dry skin will drink up as much oil as it needs.
But which ELEMIS oil is the best facial oil for you?

Peptide⁴ Night Recovery Cream-Oil
All skin types
Skin Concerns: Stressed, dry, tired-looking skin, imbalances
Key Actions: Hydrates, protects, replenishes, supports the synchronisation of night-time skin cell renewal.
Combining the hydration of a moisturising cream with the protection of an oil, our synchronising night treatment leaves skin rebalanced, restored, and replenished on waking. How does it do this? Skin cells follow a circadian rhythm, a rhythm dictated by the cycles of day and night. At night, the skin repairs and restores itself, and the select ingredients in Peptide⁴ support this process. A yeast-derived peptide helps increase collagen III expression and improve skin renewal. Meanwhile, Night Scented Stock oil, which has up to 10 times the amount of anti-oxidant vitamin E compared with many other oils used in skincare, improves skin elasticity thanks to high levels of essential fatty acids. All in all, this is your beauty sleep in a bottle.

These perfectly formed capsules of bliss are antioxidant-rich and ideal for when your skin is having a wobble – that’s a technical term. More specifically, when skin is struggling to find balance, maybe after a bout of illness, after an over-indulgent holiday, or simply from having to put up with the griminess of a daily commute on public transport(!) These easy to apply, perfect doses of Moringa Oil are full of anti-oxidant power to help the skin detoxify itself and are scented with therapeutic essential oils – soothing Rose for the daytime and balancing Lavender for nighttime. The pot comes with 60 capsules, 30 for day and 30 for night, meaning you can set your skin a 30 day challenge to turn itself around – we’ve seen the results, it works.
