It’s not just dry skin that craves a little nourishment in winter. Even oily or combination complexions can benefit from the right kind of hydration.

That’s why Emma Hardie’s Brilliance Facial Oil has become such a beauty staple. Loved by skincare fans and praised for its lightweight and balancing formula, this oil is designed to work beautifully across all skin types.

One happy shopper called Lisa admitted she was initially hesitant to use the Brilliance Facial Oil due to her oily skin. ‘omg it has actually reduced my oily skin in the day,’ she insisted in her review, adding: ‘I have dehydrated oily acne-prone skin but I’ve used for over a month and never broke out from this!! Am going to buy larger size. Definitely recommend.’
Abbie echoed Lisa’s comments, admitting she was pleasantly surprised after initially fearing that a facial oil might cause breakouts. ‘I don’t get any zits from using it and it has now become a solid staple in my skincare routine. I add a few drops into my moisturisers (in my hand) and then apply over my face and neck. It’s lightweight, non-greasy and smells AMAZING!! I can even feel a difference when I don’t add it into my cream for the day. It’s that good! Really worth the price tag and the 30ml will last a few months.’
