Game changer!

The ideal face oil for temperamental combination skin (sometimes more dry, sometimes more oily), its effectiveness was clear to see within the first 1-2 days of use as it balances out the skin beautifully :) Lightweight, feels instantly nourishing and luxurious with a lovely light scent

KORU • Clarifying Dry Oil

I love this light weight oil

I usually grab Azur and put that on as I am in love with lavender. However, when my skin is breaking out, I'll use Koru to help balance out the oils in my skin. I love the smell too and even if my skin feels oily, this oil helps control the oils and balance them out... Love it!!!

KORU changed my skin

I have had acne for many years and still struggled with adult acne. No products have ever worked for me as they would either make my skin too oily or dry it out instead. With water-based IIS and the oil KORU, my face changed radically, which also helped me to understand that I should not deny water or oil to my skin. IIS feels like a breath of fresh air on your face, it absorbs fast and keeps you extremely hydrated - it is a spectacular product! Then, to my surprise, I would put on KORU at night, and, the following morning, my skin was radiant, way less inflamed, and, overall, I had a radical improvement of my scars. Now I cannot give up my Native Essentials, they are magic and also smell delicious. I am so grateful that I found these products, thanks to Daniela Pelonara for developing such a great range and helping people with skincare issues and your ongoing personalized skincare support.

Never tried a dry oil and I was pleasantly surprised by KORU

KORU's aroma was quite unexpected, as well as the light texture. I was suprised by how fast it absorbed and my blemished skin got better after the first application.

The best facial oils for overnight use include jojoba, argan, rosehip, and marula oil - all rich in nutrients and easily absorbed by the skin. Choose based on your skin type: lighter oils like jojoba for oily skin, richer ones like argan for dry skin.

Apply 3-4 drops of face oil to clean skin and, as the final step in your skincare routine, after water-based products like serums and moisturizers. Gently pat into your face and neck using upward motions, allowing the oil to seal in all the benefits of your previous skincare steps.

Face oils are rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish, protect, and strengthen your skin barrier. They lock in moisture, provide deep hydration, and give skin a healthy, natural glow while helping prevent water loss from deeper layers.

Not all face oils clog pores - lightweight oils like jojoba, squalane, and rosehip help balance skin's natural oil production and won't cause breakouts. The key is choosing the right oil for your skin type and using non-comedogenic formulations.

Rosehip oil is excellent for ageing skin, rich in vitamins A, C and essential fatty acids that reduce fine lines and boost collagen. Other powerful anti-ageing oils include marula, argan, and sea buckthorn, all packed with antioxidants and regenerating nutrients.

Jojoba, Apricot, Moringa and Squalane are excellent for acne-prone skin as they're lightweight and non-comedogenic. Tamanu oil is a good option for skin healing. Adding essential oils like Manuka, Kanuka, Fragonia have natural antibacterial properties that can reduce breakouts.

Acne-prone skin should avoid comedogenic oils like coconut, wheat germ, olive oil, flaxseed, evening primrose, soybean which can clog pores and trigger breakouts.

Yes, face oils can benefit combination skin when you choose the right type. Lightweight, low-comedogenic and balancing oils like jojoba and squalane help regulate oil production in oily areas while hydrating dry patches. You can also apply different amounts to different areas of your face based on their needs.
