Who else is suffering from dry skin right now? Between the cold winter temps and the dry indoor air, my skin is parched and looking for a glow up. So what better to squash both skin concerns like a hydrating facial oil with Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is one of my favourite skincare ingredients. It’s an antioxidant that brightens skin, improves in skin tone and texture, and even protects against environmental damage.
Combine Vitamin C with a facial oil, and now you have hydrating facial treat for your skin to give it that happy healthy glow you’re looking for.
I’m sharing some of my favourite facial oils with vitamin C. They range from budget-friendly drugstore beauty buys to luxe skincare oils so there’s something for every beauty budget! Many of these serums are clean and all of them are cruelty free!

Best Face Oils with Vitamin C
Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil ($$$$)
I’ve mentioned this facial oil from Biossance a number of times on the blog (here, here, and here). It’s all around one of the best face oils with Vitamin c and I love it so much! My husband has even started using it too.

The convenient tube makes it purse handy as a multipurpose moisturizer for any dry spots and an easy highlighter if you need a little glow up.
I’ll be honest, I love the facial oil itself, but I’m not sure how I feel about the roller ball applicator. I both love and hate it – it’s very convenient on the go, but there are times I’d just prefer to use my hands to apply it.
