Things to Be Aware Of: Helix Skin Science Youth Fusion Illuminating Facial Oil with CBD

⚠️ Best for Very Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Helix Skin Science Youth Fusion Illuminating Facial Oil with CBD contains no humectants at all.

People with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding water-binding humectants to their moisturizing routine for effective dual-action moisturizing. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
