My skin journey has come a long way over the years, and the biggest difference came from leaning into hydration. My typically dry skin would go through phases of feeling tight and flaky, then consequently greasy, and it wasn’t until I regularly used products that locked in moisture that I achieved a consistent glow. While that hydration comes from multiple products (as well as drinking enough water throughout the day), a face oil became a non-negotiable in my nighttime routine to secure the rest of my products for a dewy complexion.
Since face oil is such a crucial part of my skin care, I jumped at the chance to try the Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil from Drunk Elephant. This product has more than 1,600 five-star reviews, so I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. After more than a month of regularly using this product as the last step in my routine before bed, I’ve noticed I wake up with hydrated skin even in the middle of winter.

I credit this glow to the marula oil’s ability to retain and seal in moisture on my skin. In addition to leaving my face soft and plump, I noticed that this oil has a lightweight feeling when applied, and it never leaves a greasy residue. I also have sensitive skin that can often react to different climates and seasons, and this face oil has reduced redness and helped even out my skin tone this winter.
The marula oil can be applied directly to your skin or combined with a moisturizer for an added dose of hydration, and I even like using it as a primer before applying my makeup. In addition to using the product on my face, neck, and decollétage, I also work the oil into my cuticles thanks to the suggestion from the brand. This is an area that is often overlooked but in equal need of extra hydration throughout winter.
Multiple shoppers rave about this product, with one customer over the age of 65 saying the oil “makes your face so soft and helps those fine lines disappear.” It is also recommended for the ends of your hair to soften and prevent frizz. Another customer agreed that it’s a great all-purpose oil, saying they use it on their “hair, nails, legs, face,” and “literally anywhere that needs a little extra moisture.”
