A step-by-step guide to layering The SUPER Intensive Face Oil so it absorbs instead of sitting on top. Learn the right order, amount, and timing for a non-greasy glow.
Quick answer
Apply The SUPER Intensive Face Oil as the last step of your evening routine, after moisturizer, using 2–3 drops pressed into slightly damp skin. Warm the oil between your palms first, then press—don't rub—to avoid greasiness. If you prefer a lighter feel, use it only at night or mix one drop into your moisturizer.
Why The SUPER Intensive Face Oil Can Feel Greasy (and How to Fix It)
The SUPER Intensive Face Oil is an oil-moisturizer hybrid with key antioxidants that reinforce the skin's moisture barrier. Its rich formula is designed to dramatically increase hydration and lock it in, which is why it can feel heavy if you apply too much or layer it incorrectly. The fix is not to avoid it—it's to adjust your technique.
Greasiness usually comes from three things: applying oil to dry skin (it sits on top), using too many drops (more than 3), or layering it before water-based products (which blocks absorption). By changing the order and amount, you get the glow without the slick.
The Right Amount: Start With 2 Drops, Not a Full Dropper
Most people use 4–6 drops and wonder why their face feels like a frying pan. For The SUPER Intensive Face Oil, start with 2 drops for your whole face. If your skin still feels tight after 10 minutes, add one more drop. You can always add, but you can't take away.
If you have very dry skin, 3 drops is fine. If you're combination or oily, 1–2 drops is enough. Remember: this is a super-rich formula, so a little goes a long way.
Timing: Damp Skin vs. Dry Skin
Applying face oil to damp skin helps it spread further and absorb faster. After cleansing and toning, while your skin is still slightly damp, press in your moisturizer first. Then, while that moisturizer is still tacky (not fully dried), press in the oil. This traps water and reduces the greasy film.
If you wait until your moisturizer is completely dry, the oil will sit on top. So work quickly—within 30 seconds of applying your moisturizer.
Step-by-step: How to Layer The SUPER Intensive Face Oil
- Cleanse and tone: Start with a clean face. Apply your toner or essence and let it absorb for 30 seconds. Your skin should be damp, not dripping. Common mistake: applying oil to completely dry skin, which makes it sit on the surface.
- Apply moisturizer first: Press in your daily moisturizer (like The SUPER Hydrator) while skin is still damp. Use a lightweight layer—you don't need a thick cream if you're adding oil. Checkpoint: your skin should feel hydrated but not slippery.
- Warm 2–3 drops of oil: Dispense 2–3 drops of The SUPER Intensive Face Oil into your palm. Rub your palms together for 5 seconds to warm the oil—this makes it spread more easily. Common mistake: using a full dropper. Start small; you can always add more.
- Press, don't rub: Press your palms gently onto your cheeks, forehead, and chin. Avoid dragging or rubbing, which can push the oil into pores unevenly. Use upward and outward motions. Checkpoint: your face should feel nourished, not slick. If it's slick, you used too much.
- Wait 2 minutes before makeup or SPF: Give the oil time to absorb. If you're applying makeup, wait at least 2 minutes, then blot any excess with a tissue if needed. For daytime, use only 1–2 drops or skip the oil and use it at night.
