Our insight:
I suffer from cystic acne. The kind where the blemishes/lesions are so stubborn, they need to be injected with cortisone by a dermatologist. As a result, I have spent most of my life running away from oil
Then I got educated. Mineral oil is pore-clogging which is why all Restorsea products are free from mineral oil.
However, non-mineral oils actually work to help clear up acne. For those of us with oily skin, all we want to do is wash off the excess oil. However, what we are doing tricking our body into thinking that it is dehydrated and triggering it to produce even more oil. Adding oil to your skin regimen will calm down oil production by providing needed hydration.
For those with dry skin (alas I am not one of them), oil provides additional and much needed hydration.
The most effective way to use oil is AFTER you apply your moisturizer. Why? Because if you apply the oil before the moisturizer, you’re preventing the moisturizer from penetrating into the skin cells because it can’t pass through the oil. But if you apply the moisturizer first and then pat the oil on top, the oil creates a moisture barrier, sealing the moisturizer into the skin and preventing the air from making it dissipate.
