Luzern The Replenishing Oil

Deeply nourishing yet non-greasy, rosehip-forward oil for dry skin / 1 fl oz

Luzern’s Replenishing Oil is another unexpected winner from this longtime-favorite brand. Richer yet not greasy, it brings a nourished glow to even the driest skin conditions.

The Replenishing Oil features a hefty dose of rosehip oil, a master healer that soothes dryness, repairs damage and discoloration due to UV exposure, and reduces scarring thanks to a combination of naturally occurring essential fatty acids, retinoic acid, and powerful carotenoids.

But here’s where Luzern’s formulation genius comes in: to avoid the heavy feel that usually plagues rosehip oil-based products, they’ve blended it with rapidly-penetrating squalane (from olives), ethyl macadamiate (a fatty acid from macadamia nuts that’s a natural alternative to silicone), Vitamin E-rich Sweet Almond oil, and soothing, GLA-rich Evening Primrose oil. The result is a fast-absorbing texture with a “dry oil” feel, and skin that looks perfectly moisturized

Luzern didn’t stop there, though. (Of course not, those overachievers — and we love them for that.) They added a few of their favorite anti-aging Swiss botanical extracts, like Buddleja Davidii Leaf extract, which helps prevent UV-induced aging, and Peucedanum Ostruthium Leaf extract, which provides further environmental protection while soothing skin.

Overall, we find this oil to be beautifully balanced — deeply nourishing but non-greasy — and it’s one of our favorites for dry, mature skin looking for a plump, dewy glow.
