Prickly pear seed oil

Use a few drops

This prickly pear seed oil comes in a lightweight face oil that sinks in fast, with no greasy film left behind. You can press it onto clean skin at night, or smooth a drop over dry spots before makeup. The texture feels silky, not slick.

Reach for dry skin

Made from figue de barbarie seeds, it has a pale golden color and a soft, nutty scent that fades quickly. The bottle is small enough for a travel pouch or bedside shelf, and a little goes a long way on cheeks, neck, or cuticles.

Keep it simple

If you like a plain routine, this fits. Use it on damp skin after cleansing, or mix one drop into your moisturizer when the weather turns sharp. It's the kind of oil you notice most by how quietly it works.
