What is facial oil?

Facial oils are concentrated, plant-based oils that are specially formulated for facial care. They contain high levels of essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins that support the skin. Unlike creams and serums, facial oils are often lighter in texture and absorb quickly, without leaving a greasy layer.

The Benefits of Facial Oil for Your Skin

Facial oils offer different benefits depending on the type of oil you choose. The main benefits include:

  • Hydration: Facial oils restore and maintain the skin’s moisture balance, especially for dry skin types.
  • Power supply: Oils are rich in vitamins such as vitamin E and A, which nourish the skin and help repair damaged skin cells.
  • Protection: They provide a protective barrier against external influences such as pollution and weather conditions.
  • Radiant skin: Natural facial oils give your skin a healthy, natural glow and improve the complexion.

Manisha, Founder of MORE

“Like many other women, I have long struggled with finding the right skin care routine for my skin. I’ve tried everything: from the trendiest to the most luxurious creams, masks and serums. As a young, busy woman living and working in an urban – and therefore polluted – environment, I noticed that my skin gradually needed more care. Because everything I tried was not a good match for my sensitive, impure and irritated skin, I went back to basics. My reasoning was: if I build my routine from basic ingredients, I burden my sensitive skin as little as possible with unnecessary additives such as fragrances, dyes, parabens, etc. and I learn what does work. I attach great importance to the origin and quality of my products. I only select the best ingredients, because I want your search for your perfect skincare routine to end with my products.”

How to use MORE Black Cumin Seed Oil

  1. Use two to three drops at a time. Warm the oil briefly between the palms before applying it: this makes the distribution more even and the application more pleasant. Pat or gently stroke the oil over the face without rubbing or massaging with pressure. Avoid the area directly around the eyes.

  2. Oil is always applied as the last step in a skincare routine, after any hydrosol or serum. This applies both in the morning and in the evening. If you apply the oil during the day, always use a sun protection as a seal.

  3. Sensitive skin responds best to as simple a routine as possible. Do not combine black cumin seed oil at the same time with many active ingredients such as AHA acids or retinol. If you already use those, do so in a separate step or at separate times. Black cumin seed oil has a characteristic, spicy scent and a powerful effect; for sensitive skin, start with every other day and perform a patch test first.

  • Adds shine and moisture: The lightweight botanical oil helps smooth dry hair, reduce frizz and improve overall softness without weighing hair down.
  • Soothes the scalp: It can help soothe a dry, itchy scalp and manage conditions like dandruff.
  • Helps reduces hair loss: Some studies suggest it may help reduce hair fall and improve hair density, especially when used in topical treatments.

Black Cumin seed oil – A gentler alternative to retinol.

Black cumin seed oil is sometimes called a “gentle retinol” or a “natural retinol alternative” because it offers some similar skin benefits to traditional retinoids (like Vitamin A) but without the harsh side effects often associated with them. It’s important to note that it does not contain retinol itself; the comparison is based purely on the positive effects it has on skin appearance.

Promotes Cell Turnover and Renewal

  • Retinol’s main function is to accelerate skin cell turnover, which helps shed dead skin cells and reveal fresh, new skin underneath. Black cumin seed oil, through its active compounds (especially Thymoquinone), is believed to support healthy skin regeneration, contributing to a smoother, brighter complexion—a key benefit of retinol.

Anti-Aging and Antioxidant Action

  • Collagen Support: Like retinoids, black cumin seed oil contains powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals. This protection is vital for preserving collagen and elastin, which keeps skin looking firm and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Improvement in Pigmentation: By encouraging skin renewal, it can help fade the look of dark spots and mild hyperpigmentation, a common goal when using retinol.

Anti-Acne and Anti-Inflammatory Properties

  • Acne Management: Retinoids are often prescribed for acne because they help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Black cumin seed oil’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help calm redness and soothe breakouts, providing a gentler pathway to clearer skin.

The “Gentle” Factor- The critical difference is the gentle nature of the oil.

Black Cumin Seed Oil vs Traditional Retinol

  • Irritation/Redness:  Very low risk vs High risk (especially during initial use)
  • Dryness/Peeling: Moisturising; helps strengthen skin barrier vs Common side effect
  • Sun Sensitivity None (though sunscreen is always recommended) vs Significantly increases sun sensitivity

Because it offers renewal and anti-aging benefits without the typical retinol side effects (like flaking, burning, and extreme sun sensitivity), it has gained the reputation of being a gentle, plant-derived substitute.
