Susanne Kaufmann Face Oil

A lightweight yet intensely nourishing facial oil clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss, and improve firmness for a softer, smoother, and more resilient complexion.

Environmental exposure, seasonal changes, and the natural ageing process can weaken the skin’s protective barrier, contributing to dryness, sensitivity, and a loss of suppleness. Susanne Kaufmann Face Oil is an advanced botanical treatment designed to replenish essential lipids, help prevent transepidermal water loss, and restore lasting comfort without leaving the skin feeling heavy or greasy.

The 99.2% natural-origin formula combines upcycled bilberry seed oil with apricot kernel, meadowfoam, sunflower, and jojoba oils to nourish and support the skin’s natural defences. Antioxidant-rich astaxanthin from blood rain algae helps protect against environmental stress, while celery seed and linseed extracts support a smoother, firmer-looking complexion.

Silky and readily absorbed, this restorative face oil leaves skin feeling soft, plumped, and beautifully replenished, with a naturally luminous finish.

• Clinically proven to increase skin firmness by 22% after 28 days

• Leaves skin feeling smoother, softer, and more supple
• Lightweight, readily absorbed texture without excessive heaviness
• Suitable for all skin types, including dry, mature, combination, oily, and sensitive skin

Recommended For:

• Dry, dehydrated, or moisture-depleted skin
• Mature skin and visible loss of firmness
• Fine lines and uneven texture
• A weakened or compromised moisture barrier
• Skin affected by cold weather, travel, or environmental stress
• Normal or combination skin needing additional nourishment
• Sensitive or reactive skin seeking greater comfort*

*This formula contains fragrance. Those with highly reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin should patch test before use.

Why It’s Different:

Unlike a water-based hydrating serum, Face Oil replenishes the lipid portion of the skin barrier and helps slow moisture evaporation. Its considered blend of essential fatty acids, botanical antioxidants, and lightweight emollients delivers the comforting benefits of a facial oil while absorbing readily into the skin.

A celery seed and linseed extract complex targets firmness and tone, while bilberry seed oil and astaxanthin help defend the complexion against oxidative and environmental stress. The result is skin that feels more comfortable and resilient and appears smoother, plumper, and more radiant.

Clinically Tested Results:

After 28 days of use in a clinical study involving 22 participants:

• Clinically proven to reduce transepidermal water loss

In consumer testing involving 22 participants:

Individual results may vary.

Texture & Finish:

A silky, lightweight facial oil that spreads effortlessly and absorbs readily without leaving an excessively greasy residue. It gives the complexion a soft, supple feel and a naturally luminous finish.

The formula contains fragrance and has a delicate botanical aroma.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse the face, neck, and décolletage.
2. Apply any water-based toner or serum.
3. Dispense a few drops of Face Oil onto your fingertips.
4. Apply to slightly damp skin and gently press into the face, neck, and décolletage.
5. Follow with moisturiser when additional hydration or comfort is needed.
6. Use morning and evening.

For extra nourishment, mix one or two drops into your favourite face or body moisturiser immediately before application. During the day, allow the oil to absorb before applying sunscreen. Do not mix the oil directly into SPF, as this may interfere with the sunscreen’s protective film.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

This is a beautiful choice when the skin feels dry, tight, travel-worn, or less resilient than usual. It delivers the enveloping comfort of a botanical oil while maintaining an elegant, readily absorbed finish that works in both morning and evening routines.

For dehydrated skin, first apply a water-based hydrating serum to replenish moisture, then press Face Oil over the skin to help reduce moisture loss. Follow with moisturiser if needed. During colder months, mix one or two drops into your cream for a richer, more protective finish.

For an instant touch of luminosity, gently tap the smallest amount over the cheekbones after skincare. Avoid applying too much beneath makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does Susanne Kaufmann Face Oil do?
Face Oil replenishes barrier-supporting lipids, helps reduce transepidermal water loss, and provides antioxidant protection. With regular use, it helps skin feel softer, smoother, more comfortable, and more supple.

Is Susanne Kaufmann Face Oil clinically tested?
Yes. In a 28-day clinical study involving 22 participants, the formula was shown to reduce transepidermal water loss, strengthen the skin barrier, and increase measured skin firmness by 22%.

Does Face Oil hydrate the skin?
Face Oil helps maintain hydration by replenishing lipids and reducing moisture loss. Because an oil does not supply water in the same way as a hydrating serum, dehydrated skin will usually benefit from applying it after a water-based serum and following with moisturiser if needed.

Can I use it on oily or combination skin?
Yes. The brand recommends Face Oil for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. Begin with one or two drops and adjust according to how your skin responds. The product is not advertised as non-comedogenic.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The product is recommended by the brand for sensitive and reactive skin. However, it contains parfum and methyl benzoate, so fragrance-sensitive or highly reactive skin should patch test before applying it to the entire face.

Should I apply facial oil before or after moisturiser?
Susanne Kaufmann recommends applying Face Oil after serum and following with moisturiser. It can also be blended into moisturiser immediately before application. If you prefer using oil as your final evening step, apply it after moisturiser to help seal in comfort.

Can it be used morning and evening?
Yes. Apply a few drops in either or both routines. In the morning, allow the oil to absorb before applying sunscreen as the final skincare step.

Can I mix Face Oil with sunscreen?
No. Mixing facial oil directly into sunscreen can disrupt the even protective film needed for reliable SPF performance. Apply the oil first, allow it to absorb, and then apply sunscreen separately.

Does it contain fragrance?
Yes. Parfum and methyl benzoate appear in the ingredient list, so the formula is not fragrance-free.

What size is Susanne Kaufmann Face Oil?
The full-size bottle contains 30 ml.
