I'm not usually a face oil person. Experts and insiders will tell you that oil doesn't break you out — which can be true — but with my combination skin, face oil tends to make it more congested. Mara Algae + Moringa Universal Face Oil ($72) has been a pleasant surprise when it comes to my skin. Meaning "sea," Mara is made with ingredients inspired by the ocean, like alaria esculenta and plankton extracts. It also includes moringa oil, which is becoming more popular in the beauty industry for its anti-aging benefits. It has seven times the amount of vitamin C than an orange, and 4 times the amount of vitamin A than a carrot — it packs as punch when it comes to vitamins and antioxidants. I've been wearing this to sleep at night underneath my retinol and wake up without my reactive skin covered in flakes, and it's a solid moisturizer for creating a glow underneath your makeup, too. All you need are a few drops and you'll be luminous. — Kirbie
