A lightweight formula that revitalises skin, combating moisture loss and environmental stress.

Description

Huxley Oil Essence is a lightweight, antioxidant-rich oil-essence hybrid formulation that helps revitalise skin with moisture loss and environmental stress. Suitable for all skin types.

Key ingredients include Sahara Prickly Pear Seed Oil, a real wonder of nature. It contains unique phytochemicals that provide excellent moisturisation due to their special ability to retain water. It also supports skin barrier protection against harsh environmental factors due to a high concentration of Vitamin E (Tocopherol), a potent antioxidant. Yerba Mate Leaf, a South American tea plant that has been used medicinally for centuries, has very similar properties to that of Green Tea Extract. It protects against free-radical damage. Lecithin is an excellent emollient, emulsifier and penetration enhancer due to its amphiphilic ability – attracting both water and fatty substances. Housed in a sturdy glass dropper bottle. this product is hypoallergenic and Dermatologically tested. Paraben-free. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: Huxley’s #1 International top-seller, this product combines a unique oil and essence base at an optimum absorption ratio with that of its hero ingredient, Sahara Prickly Pear Seed Oil. The formulation is light, hydrating and easily absorbed, leaving skin looking dewy and radiant, with no greasy or sticky residue.

    I absolutely love all things Huxley. This essence is no exception. It leaves my skin hydrated and glowing. My skin is no longer depressed since incorporating Huxley into my routine.

    I love this product because of the lovely scent. This product draws into the skin within seconds and leaves a slight glow. My skin feels hydrated and ready for my daily moisturiser and make up to be applied.

    Love this essence. This confirmed for me that all Huxley products are amazing, I’ve almost tried them all on Dermastore at this point! This is lovely, lightweight, hydrating and creates that signature huxley glow.

    I got this as a sample and ordered it as soon as the sample was finished – it reduced redness around my nose and left my skin glowing. Its now a standard part of my morning routine, I love it. And its not oily at all – it gets completely absorbed.

    I love everything Huxley and this product is no exception. This essence absorbs into my skin almost immediately after applying and makes my dry skin feel deeply hydrated with zero oiliness. The mild rose-like smell of the product is a dream. My skin thanks me every time I use it.

    Really enjoying this product. I have oily/combination skin, and this product makes my skin feel hydrated without being too thick or oily. I love the consistency.

    I am so excited about this product. My skin was looking so dull and sad but after using Huxley products my skin is soft and glowing. Will continue to use this product. Next I’m going to try the masks.
