Almost every brand seems to have one or other facial oil and I dont think one lifetime is enough to test all these and come up with the best.
But for me, if any facial oil could come close to being the one and only facial oil you'd need, I believe it would be this one - African Botanicals Pure Marula Oil

I had bought this a long time back and didnt really consider this one, till Winter started.Honestly I didnt expect much. I am on old hand with oils; I use oils daily on my face, body and hair. My favorites are Coconut and Rose Hip oil.
Never really expected this one to work, cos a lot of it feels like hype to me.
But boy! Does this work!
I wish I'd taken some before photos so I could show you the difference.
But here is what I noticed after 2 weeks of applying this daily at night before sleep:
- My skin feels super hydrated. I don't need any moisturizer (my skin type is normal, but in winter I tend to get dry patches around eye and nose area)
- My face looks brighter, not very tired. Like there is a sheen to it.
- I'd some pigmentation on my face especially around mouth area. All gone now!
- I don't need much foundation or concealer to make my complexion look even.
Overall: I wish I didn't spend so much money on de-pigmentation creams earlier! And I also wish Marula oil was a bit cheaper. But all is fair in the name of beauty, right? :(
