What do you think about these face oils?

    I'm in the market for buying a new face oil and these are my top contenders:

    Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+

    Rio Amazon Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil

    Antipodes Divine Face Oil Certified Organic Avocado Oil and Rosehip

    PAI ROSEHIP BIOREGENERATE OIL

    I've been using oils for years now but I want to try something new this time. I use plain oils I buy from Amazon and ebay to make my own oil cleanser. But they don't work for me without rinsing off. My skin somehow loves processed oils. So no crude oil suggestions please. I'm looking for something in the mid-price range as above.

    TY!

    I've used the Trilogy Rosehip one and didn't care for it, but pretty much everyone else I've ever come across raves about it.

    Can't speak for the others, but I did recently get a sample of Vichy Neovadiol Magistral Elixir, which is an oil, and LOVED it. Definitely going to buy it for myself once the sample runs out. Might be worthwhile popping into a Vichy stockist and asking for a sample?

    I just searched for Vichy Neovadiol Magistral Elixir, and it has shea butter in it, which is a huge no no for me :(

    I liked Trilogy oil when I used it couple of years ago. Then, I tried much better stuff and now I'm more neutral about it. I am wondering if the Antioxidant+ version is better or not :confused:

    I'm the opposite, I liked the Trilogy rosehip and hated the Vichy oil.

    My favourite at the moment is this:

    I love the grassy, fresh smell of it and it does absolute magic for my skin.

    I've tried Marula oil, it's absolutely lovely too. A bit too moisturising for everyday use for me, but I use it when needed and it does a great job of making my skin soft and smooth again. I use a drop on chapped lips, its wonderful for that.

    I'm really tempted to try this stuff:

    http://en.caudalie.com/overnight-detox-oil.html

    although my skin is oily the texture of it is so bumpy at the moment - would love to sort it out.

    I used a sample of it. It was quite nice but not just my thing. It feels like a dry oil. I think people with oilier skins would love it. Now I don't like oils that feel like a cooking oil or even a very raw oil, but still I want them to have a bit more slip.

    I have quite a big collection of organic and/or unrefined oils, including hemp seed oil, as I make my own oil cleanser.

    I don't think I'll buy a facial oil for now as I couldn't find anything I like at the price range I'm aiming. I am using my raw oils as needed at the moment. I like them but there is a fine line between benefiting them and ending up with very clogged pores. And I do like the ease of use and the texture of facial oils.

    I purchased the Caudalie oil last week - I've had a few bumpy spots since - not sure if they are related but will keep at it to see how it works out.

    I like that its not mega greasy on me but my t-zone is very oily so its probably more suitable for my skin type.
