It’s that age-old debate: moisturizer or face oil? While plenty of people would reach for the former, especially those prone to a shiny T-zone (because oil plus oil can seem counterintuitive), a good nutrient-packed face oil can do wonders for all skin types. What’s more, it can actually hydrate the epidermis more than any ol’ cream moisturizer and can reduce sebum production, a major bonus for oily skin. So, then, the answer seems obvious: Oil is the way to go.
The market is chock-full of great facial oils, but there’s one that’s been taking the celeb beauty scene by storm as of late: Mara’s Universal Face Oil. In fact, in the past week, both Chrissy Teigen and Olivia Munn took to the ‘gram to praise the beauty buy’s face-saving powers. Teigen deemed it her “jam” while Munn simply posted a selfie with the caption, “been using that algae + moringa face oil from @themarabeauty.” Both were looking as glowy and fresh-faced as ever and they likely inspired a slew of their followers to scoop up the top-rated skincare buy that has sold out three times since launching in 2018.

If you’re new to the face oil game — or simply looking for a fresh addition to your lineup — Mara’s algae face oil that’s suitable for all skin types (hence, the word universal in its name) is sure to be your calling card. It’s jam-packed with delicious (for your skin) nutrients that hydrate, fight wrinkles, and improve the overall appearance of skin tone, texture, and firmness. Some standout ingredients are moringa — a superfood packed with over 90 nutrients, 46 antioxidants, and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E — that quenches thirsty skin and gives it a radiant glow; age-defying Algae that’s full of phytonutrients and fatty acids to plump, firm, and smooth; and baobab that’s chock-full of vitamin C and antioxidants that brighten, increase collagen production, and reduce signs of aging.
