In reply to JD. JD, I hear ya! I prefer fragrance-free products too but some are so good, you have to use them even if they're scented. :)

Hi JD, sorry to jump in the post. Inlight oil is enough to act as a moisturiser on its own. It is absorbed easily and leaves a ‘healthy glow’. Many rave that it works really well under make up too. If you sign up to their website, you get 10% off your first order!

In reply to Gio. Thank you for the advice! I'll try a lighter moisturizer as soon as I finish the current one I'm using, and see what happens. Or, I probably have to try another dry or lighter face oil, if I could be tempted. As for fragrance, Nuxe oil is the only (as far as I know but I have to check) skin care product I have that has perfume in it, which if I remember correctly is not high on the list. I generally don't like perfumy products on my face. I don't have sensitive skin but I have a sensitive nose, and strong fragrances, especially perfume, give me a headache.

JD, I hope you’ll be able to get hold of a bottle, it’s a really nice oil. I know what you mean. Fragrance isn’t the best thing to put on your skin, but it’s there for a reason. Brands know that when you fall in love with it, you’ll be less likely to switch.

I usually do the opposite. Oils can penetrate facial moisturisers but moisturisers may contain ingredients that can’t penetrate oils. Maybe try switching to a lighter moisturiser?

That oil sounds so decadent I want to try it. I’ll try to look for it here. The issue probably is whether it can convince me to replace Nuxe. I’ve tried buying other face oils but even as I shop for face oils I already miss Nuxe’s scent so I never buy another oil. I do have a silly question (which you probably touched upon in one of your older posts I haven’t read yet) – do you use moisturizer first then oil, or oil first then moisturizer? I usually use oil first then moisturizer. If I use moisturizer first followed by oil, I find that my face is slightly oilier than I would prefer. Depending on the brand or type of face oil, I would sometimes end up having to wash my face with face wash in the morning (I prefer to just wash my face with water in the morning). But I wonder if the order matters, and I’m not maximizing the best of oil and moisturizer.
