Ultimately, she says, it’s a"test and see" situation, and, again, points out that the best way to predict whether a product will actually break you out or not is to see if that product has been tested in a clinical study. When it comes to using facial oils in general, Dr. Bowe stresses that they’re more of a supplement, not a replacement for your moisturizer—a major misconception among her patients as well as skin-care aficionados on social media. “Facial oils do not hydrate or penetrate your skin’s deeper layers. Instead, they stay closer to the top layer of your skin, hydrating the surface of your skin while providing protection for your skin’s healthy barrier,” explains Bowe.
