No — this formulation is designed to be lightweight and compatible with the skin.
Well-balanced plant oils support the skin’s natural lipid structure rather than sitting heavily on the surface. When applied correctly, they help the skin function more normally, not become congested.
2. Is this suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, in most cases.
Skin that produces excess oil is often trying to compensate for imbalance. Supporting the skin with compatible lipids can help bring it back to a more stable state.
If your skin is highly reactive, we recommend starting with a small amount and observing how your skin responds.
3. Why do you apply oil before hydration?
Most routines apply water first — but water evaporates.
At Alix, we apply oil first to support the skin’s structure, then follow with hydration to activate it.
Oil rebuilds the barrier. Water activates it.
This sequence helps the skin retain moisture more effectively.
4. Do I still need a moisturiser?
Not usually.
This oil replaces the need for traditional creams by supporting the skin’s lipid layer directly.
When followed with Mineral Skin Water, it provides both nourishment and hydration — without heaviness.
5. Will this feel greasy on my skin?
No — it is formulated to absorb quickly and leave a soft, comfortable finish.
The goal is not to coat the skin, but to support it.
Most people notice their skin feels lighter and more balanced after use.
6. When should I use this in my routine?
After cleansing, on dry skin.
Apply a small amount and press into the skin.
Follow with Mineral Skin Water, then your daily protection (such as CC Cream).
7. Can I use this morning and night?
Yes.
In the morning, it supports the skin before daily exposure.
At night, it helps maintain comfort and balance while the skin rests.
8. Do I need to use this with Mineral Skin Water?
For best results, yes.
This oil supports the skin’s structure.
Mineral Skin Water completes the process by activating hydration.
Used together, they create a more balanced and effective routine.
I love my Alix products I’ve been using for years! My husband swears by the cuticle nail oil that’s it’s the only thing that’s worked on his toe nail fungus.

Thank you, Amanda, your skin is glowing—beautiful. It helps a lot sharing your positive experiences using Alix. The bio-active face oil is our best-seller 🙏🌿
Love all the products. The oil that I use in the morning is light and soaks straight in. My skin loves it
Store owner replied:
To the beautiful Amanda, thank you. We are so pleased to receive your feedback and gorgeous picture. Much love from the Alix Crew 😘
This is the best face moisturizer I've ever used. I have been using this for 2 years and I 100% have less wrinkles on my face. People are always shocked to hear that I'm 41, they say "but your skin is so good!"
The other thing this face oil fixed was my chapped lips. Before using the oil, as soon as the season change or I flew to a different city/country my lips would go bright red, be very painful then peel. Then after using the oil for a few months I went to Christchurch and was ready for painful lips, but nothing happened. It was such a relief. The only time I've had chapped lips again is when I forgot to take my face oil on holiday.
Please don't stop making this product xxx

I'm so happy to share my experience with Alix Face Oil!.
.I absolutely love the product! and can't bare to be without it. It's my very favorite "Go To" every morning, A couple of drops in the palm of my hand is all that's needed, as it goes a long way, it glides over my face giving me a youthful glow. I then proceed to put my makeup on...All set for the day. Sharon is absolutely wonderful, she organizes me with my order and it promptly turns within a day or two.. I'm a very Happy Customer! Thank you!
Best product ever, this being my 4th year using this oil. My sister is the same now and can't use anything else. She has been through chemo and radiation and due to this she was unable to use just any product so for her Alix was a Godsend. I've used Guerlain, Chanel, Estee lauder, clarins, lancome, even cheaper brands but no change. I'm 62 and this oil has saved my skin and kept me looking half decent. Thanks Alix

Looking Beautiful, ladies. We value your review, thanxx you.
I am so happy to have received yet another bottle of Alix Ultimate Face Oil, I don't ever like being without it! It's my morning ritual to massage my face and neck with this beautiful Oil.. I really appreciate Sharon who very promptly helps me out with my online order and any other questions I may have....In a few days it's in my letter box!... Thank you! Shayne Frost
LOVE this facial oil! It’s so light on my skin & I use it for both day & night routine. I use to avoid using oils as they were too thick and caused break outs. But this is definitely a winner
I so LOVE alix FACE OIL,..It's my all-time Favorite! I look forward to my every morning ritual of massaging it into my face...It provides a nice base to apply my foundation. I recently ran out and was happy when my order arrived promptly in the mail....Thank you Sharon @ alix skin care.. Happy Customer, Shayne Frost
Have been using the face oil for over a year now. My skin looks fresher and all my friends comment I look younger! Also used to get cold sores from the sun and since using this have never had another!
At first, I was a little uncertain about using a facial oil, as I'd never used one before and worried it might feel too greasy. After just a few days, my skin looked and felt noticeably better. Now I wouldn't go back to a regular moisturiser — I absolutely love it!
My face reacted badly became swollen with raised rash also my right arm where I had used surplus oil. As the oil was the only new product I had used , and had no additional new foods in diet I can only presume that it was th cause of the rash.

Thank you, Chelsea, for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you're happy with the product and the speedy delivery. We appreciate your support 💚
My face feels soft and supple. The oil restores life back into my skin. It's a true hydrator.
I was on a cruise and we stopped at Bay of Islands. Can you believe I found their shop and the owner spent time talking through each of the products - brilliant customer service. I came away with the Face Oil and it is a game changer - I absolutely love it. Now, to buy more of the range ✔️
My sensitive skin loves Alix Skincare’s Ultimate Face Oil. It absorbs quickly and a little is all that’s required. My skin has been moisturised and supple since it became part of my skincare routine.
This is the best product I've ever used for my face. Three drops and my skin is amazing after a massage into my face I look bright and well moistured. I've used this oil for 3 years and I can't do without it.
Store owner replied:
Wonderful to hear, Joan, that everyone loves using the face oil. 💚 I feel precisely the same way; there's no equivalent substitute.
