If your skin feels permanently dry, irritated or dehydrated then you need to get your hands on one of our favourite oils and add it to your routine immediately. Whether you’re just looking for hydration or you’re after a supercharged formula, keep reading to find out about our faves.

Specially developed to regenerate and repair your skin whilst you sleep, the Aurelia Probiotic Cell Repair Night Oil is skin goodness in a bottle. If you aren’t using probiotics in your skincare routine yet, then now is the time to start. Enriched with a blend of hydrating botanicals, hibiscus, and pomegranate, this night oil intensely moisturises, whilst still feeling lightweight and non-greasy. To make it even better, the neroli and lavender scent will help your drift off into dreamland in seconds.

If your skin is dry, it doesn’t mean you have to just focus on hydration and drop everything else. The PSA Skin Midnight Courage Oil is the perfect example of a multitasking formula that does so much more than just hydrate the skin. Formulated with 2% retinoid, bakuchiol, and supercharged, omega-rich oils, this is the ultimate oil when it comes to getting great skin. Not only does it reduce the signs of aging, but it helps to balance uneven tone and texture, all whilst providing intense moisture. We’re sold.

Sometimes when it comes down to it, uncomplicated formulas are the ones that produce widespread results. That’s why we love The Ordinary’s 100% Plant-Derived Squalane. This multi-tasking oil is ideal for all skin types, softening and soothing the skin after just one use. Squalane is naturally found in the skin, helping to keep it strong and moisturised – so if you’re looking for non-greasy, lightweight hydration that you can rely on time after time, then this is the oil for you.

CBD – three magic letters that we’ve all become obsessed with in our skincare. The hero ingredient that calms and de-stresses the skin makes this CBD oil a must-have in your collection, dry skin or no dry skin. Loaded with a high concentration of rich fatty acids that help to moisturise, rejuvenate, and protect the skin, this oil shows that great skin doesn’t have to break the bank.

If you suffer with dry skin, it can sometimes be a task getting your skin fully hydrated before applying makeup and it’s crucial to avoid that dry, flaky look. For skin that’s always perfectly prepped for makeup, you need to get your hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Hydrating Oil. Specially developed to be applied before makeup, this lightweight facial oil sinks in in seconds, revealing a fresh, healthy base that allows your skin to look its best. Enriched with Mediterranean botanical extracts, jojoba oil, and rosehip oil, silky smooth, conditioned skin is always the outcome.

Is there anything the Elemis can’t do? We think not, and this Pro-Collagen Marine Oil is no exception. Infused with on-trend marine ingredients such as seaweed and water kelp, this super hydrating formula works to replenish, moisturise, and plump the skin, resulting in a more radiant complexion. The addition of collagen-supporting ingredients means that whilst it hydrates, this oil will also help to reduce the signs of aging.

If you’re worried that an oil is going to clog your pores, fear not – they’re actually the best thing for your skin and so many formulas are non-comedogenic, like the Farmacy Honey Grail Hydrating Face Oil. Packed full of skin-loving nutrients and ingredients, this lightweight oil is infused with antioxidant-ich honey, sea buckthorn, and a five-flower oil blend that all work to infuse your skin with moisture and glow.
