Facial oil might seem like the skin-care trend du jour, but the truth is, it’s been around for a long time. In face, Greek beauty brand Korres came onto the scene 20 years ago with a facial oil as its very first product. And to celebrate two decades, the brand is bringing it back to the forefront. The Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Active Brightening Oil ($54) improves on that very first formulation, bringing together 20 years of tradition and the latest skin-care innovations.
“Wild rose, a Korres trademark ingredient and a synonym of the Greek skincare brand’s history, is the main active of the first-ever Korres cosmetic product. Wild rose fruit is noted for its high vitamin C level that demonstrates significant repairing action on pigmentation disorders and fine lines,” says Lena Korres, cofounder of Korres. “Furthermore, wild rose oil, rich in linoleic and linolenic acid, offers significant moisturizing, healing, and softening properties. At the same time, it forms a protective film on the skin that helps with cell regeneration.”
In short, this trendy product (which happens to be traditional, too) will boost your skin’s brightness and pump it full of moisture. Just how much? The formula is infused with super C, which lets skin absorb vitamin C 1,000% better and supports natural collagen synthesis and offers antioxidant protection against free radical and UV damage. Sounds too good to be true? Try it for yourself. The dewy glow is reason enough to get in on the oil trend — just don’t call it a trend.
