Rich in lipids and plant actives, face oils bring nutrition, comfort, and suppleness to skin without necessarily leaving a greasy finish. Particularly suited to the evening ritual, they support skin during its natural regeneration phase. HUYGENS face oils combine plant oils and targeted botanical actives to nourish skin and act on the signs of aging, while offering an enveloping sensory experience.
A face oil mainly provides lipids that contribute to the skin's nourishment, suppleness and comfort. Depending on its formula, it can also include actives targeting radiance or the visible signs of aging.
Does a face oil hydrate the skin?
An oil brings nourishment above all and helps preserve skin comfort. To address a lack of water, it can be combined with a water-based hydrating product, such as a serum, then used to complete the routine.
When should a face oil be applied?
An oil is applied after water-based products, generally at the end of the routine. It is particularly pleasant in the evening, when you are looking for more nourishment and an enveloping texture.
Can an oil replace the cream?
Yes, depending on the formula and the skin's needs. Some skin types enjoy an oil on its own in the evening, while others, generally drier, prefer to use it after a serum or alongside a cream. The aim is to adjust the richness of the routine to the desired comfort.
Are face oils suitable for mature skin?
They can be particularly valuable when the skin is looking for more nourishment, suppleness and comfort. The HUYGENS Night Elixir Phyto-Retinol Oil combines nourishing plant oils with Revinage®, a botanical active presented as a plant-based alternative to retinol. Used in the evening, it supports skin renewal and helps smooth the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin radiance, while offering the enveloping sensoriality particularly appreciated by mature skin.
How do I apply an oil without an overly greasy finish?
Favor a so-called "dry" oil, formulated to nourish the skin while absorbing quickly, without leaving a greasy or sticky film. This is the case of the HUYGENS Night Elixir Phyto-Retinol Oil: its dry, sensory texture brings the nourishing benefits of an oil while leaving the skin supple and comfortable. A few drops are enough for the whole face; apply them in the evening, alone or after a serum depending on your skin's needs.
