Expert Answers to Australia’s Most Googled Skincare Questions
When it comes to glowing, youthful skin, few products are as misunderstood yet as powerful as facial oils. Once considered too heavy for daily use, they’re now celebrated by dermatologists and skincare enthusiasts alike for their ability to hydrate, protect, and repair.
What is the purpose of facial oils?
expand_more
Facial oils act as a moisture sealant. Unlike water-based moisturizers that hydrate the skin, oils help lock in that hydration while strengthening your skin’s natural barrier. They mimic the skin’s own sebum, making them ideal for balancing moisture levels and providing a healthy, radiant finish.
Try the Vita-A-Kombi Oil enriched with stabilized vitamin A and oxygen to rejuvenate tired skin while maintaining hydration. It supports cell turnover and gives the complexion a naturally smooth, supple glow.
What should you look for in a face oil?
expand_more
A great face oil should do more than soften skin it should nourish and protect it at a deeper level. Look for:
- Non-comedogenic oils that won’t clog pores.
- Stable formulations that resist oxidation
- Compatibility with your skin type
- Antioxidant-rich ingredients such as Vitamin E, rosehip, or apricot kernel oil
Our Vita-A-Apricot is a beautifully balanced formula that ticks all the boxes. With apricot kernel oil and vitamin A, it revitalizes dull skin and delivers radiance without greasiness, perfect for everyday use.
What is the best ingredient in facial oil?
expand_more
The best ingredient depends on your skin goals. For anti-aging, Vitamin A (retinol) remains unmatched. For hydration, apricot kernel and jojoba oils mimic natural skin oils. For brightening, Vitamin C and rosehip oil deliver radiance.
Both Vita-A-Kombi Oil and Vita-A-Apricot feature stabilized vitamin A, clinically shown to reduce wrinkles and improve elasticity, making them essential for age-defying results.
What are the best face oils for anti-ageing?
expand_more
The best anti-ageing face oils are those that repair, firm, and protect against environmental stress.
Top picks:
- Vita-A-Kombi Oil – Delivers Vitamin A and oxygen for renewal
- Vita-A-Apricot – Brightens and revitalises dull skin
- Vita-A-Kombi Creams 1, 2, & 3 – Pair perfectly with oils for a complete anti-ageing system
These formulations rejuvenate skin tone, refine texture, and reduce fine lines, ideal for mature or dry skin.
How long does facial oil last?
expand_more
High-quality facial oils typically last 6–12 months after opening. To extend their shelf life, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Karin Herzog’s airtight packaging protects against oxidation, ensuring every drop remains fresh and effective.
What is rosehip oil good for?
expand_more
Rosehip oil is rich in Vitamins A and C, helping to fade pigmentation and improve skin elasticity.
The Vita-A-Apricot offers similar rejuvenating benefits, combining the power of apricot kernel oil with stabilised Vitamin A for enhanced results without oxidation risk.
What is the side effect of facial oil?
expand_more
Facial oils are safe for most skin types, but overuse or the wrong formula can cause congestion or breakouts. Always apply a small amount 2 to 3 drops after cleansing and before moisturiser.
Karin Herzog’s lightweight oils are crafted to absorb quickly, leaving skin smooth and nourished without residue.
Do you wash off facial oils?
expand_more
No, facial oils are meant to stay on the skin to lock in hydration. Apply them as the final step in your skincare routine after serums or moisturisers.
Karin Herzog’s oils absorb rapidly and can be layered comfortably under makeup or sunscreen.
Which oil is safest for skin?
expand_more
Gentle oils that mimic natural sebum such as apricot, rosehip, and squalane are safest for most skin types.
Vita-A-Apricot combines these with stabilised Vitamin A to boost firmness, hydration, and radiance.
Which oil can clog pores?
expand_more
Highly comedogenic oils like coconut and flaxseed can block pores. Non-comedogenic oils like apricot, rosehip, and jojoba are safer alternatives.
Our Vita-A-Apricot provides deep hydration without congestion, suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
Can essential oils expire?
expand_more
Highly comedogenic oils like coconut and flaxseed can block pores. Non-comedogenic oils like apricot, rosehip, and jojoba are safer alternatives.
Our Vita-A-Apricot provides deep hydration without congestion, suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
What oils not to use on face?
expand_more
Avoid thick, comedogenic oils such as coconut or wheat germ oil, which can clog pores. Instead, look for non-comedogenic options like apricot kernel, rosehip, or squalane found in Vita-A-Apricot and Vita-A-Kombi Oil.
The Oxygen Technology Behind Every Glow
Deeper absorption. Visible glow. Zero irritation.
At the heart of Karin Herzog’s skincare philosophy is stabilised oxygen a patented Swiss innovation that transforms how active ingredients penetrate the skin. As the oxygen is released upon application, it gently propels vitamins and nutrients deeper into the epidermis, where they can be most effective. This unique self-massaging process supports cell regeneration, enhances hydration, and delivers visible, long-lasting results all without irritation or heaviness.
A Simple Guide to Using Karin Herzog Face Oils
Glow Naturally
To incorporate Karin Herzog’s face oils into your skincare routine, apply 2 to 3 drops of either the Vita-A-Kombi Oil or Apricot Oil to clean, dry skin, ideally in the evening. Warm the oil between your fingertips and gently press it into your face and neck, allowing it to fully absorb before layering a moisturiser if needed. Vita-A-Kombi Oil, rich in vitamins A and E, is perfect for boosting collagen and supporting anti-ageing benefits, while the Apricot Oil deeply nourishes dry or tired skin. These luxurious oils work to hydrate, restore, and enhance your natural glow, leaving your complexion soft, radiant, and revitalised. For morning use, always follow with sunscreen to protect and lock in hydration.
