Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil

Use with caution. While the formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, or hydroquinone, it does include several essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus, neroli, and rose) that some healthcare professionals advise limiting during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your OB-GYN or midwife before incorporating new products with essential oils into your routine during this time.

No, this facial oil is not fungal acne safe. It contains multiple ingredients known to feed malassezia yeast, including avocado oil, olive oil, evening primrose oil, and caprylic/capric triglyceride. These are rich in fatty acids and esters that can aggravate fungal acne. If you are prone to malassezia folliculitis, look for oils with a simpler composition like squalane or MCT oil (C8 only).

Yes, this facial oil can generally be used alongside most actives. Apply water-based serums (vitamin C, AHA, BHA, retinol) first on clean skin, allow them to absorb, then layer the oil on top as an occlusive finishing step. The oil helps seal in the active ingredients. However, if your skin is sensitive or you are new to retinol, introduce one product at a time to avoid irritation. Using strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) and this oil with essential oils simultaneously may increase sensitivity in reactive skin.

This oil is best suited for dry, very dry, and mature skin types that need deep nourishment, firming, and a radiance boost. It also works well for normal skin. For combination skin, nighttime use is recommended. For oily skin, the brand suggests using it at night only as the last step. It is not ideal for acne-prone skin due to the moderately comedogenic avocado and olive oils in the formula.

You will notice an instant glow and softer skin immediately after the first application. Within 1 hour, clinical trials show 3x improved hydration. After 1–2 weeks of consistent use, skin texture and plumpness improve noticeably. The full anti-aging benefits — including firmer-feeling skin (4x) and visible wrinkle reduction (up to 80%) — become apparent after 4–8 weeks of regular use, based on the brand's clinical trials conducted on 30 participants.

Apply this facial oil as one of the last steps in your routine, after your serum and moisturizer but before sunscreen in the morning. The general order is: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then facial oil, then sunscreen (AM). You can also mix 2–3 drops directly into your moisturizer for a simplified routine. For oily skin, the brand recommends using it at night only as the final step.

This oil has a moderate comedogenic rating of 3 out of 5. The first two ingredients are avocado oil (comedogenic rating 2–3) and olive oil (comedogenic rating 2–4), both of which are moderately pore-clogging. While the brand describes the product as non-comedogenic, individuals with oily or acne-prone skin may experience congestion. If you are prone to clogged pores, patch test on a small area first or consider lighter alternatives like rosehip or squalane oil.

The recommended period after opening (PAO) is 12 months. Since this is a pure oil-based formula with natural plant oils and vitamin E as a stabilizer, it can be susceptible to oxidation over time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the dropper bottle tightly sealed. If the oil changes color, develops an off smell, or becomes rancid, discontinue use. With twice-daily use of 2–3 drops, the 30ml bottle typically lasts 2–3 months.
