Before Lush was a bath bomb empire, its first ever product was this cold-pressed facial oil. No two bottles are exactly the same — it still feels like someone made it in their kitchen.
That raw, unpolished vibe is exactly why it works. You can practically smell the avocado.
It’s $22 for 45ml — a steal for something that doesn’t sit on your face like a grease slick. The claim: “deep moisture for dry skin.” I was skeptical. I’ve been burned by “natural” oils that do nothing.
Absorbs in 45 seconds
No joke. Rubs in, vanishes, leaves zero shine.
No fragrance added
Smells like a salad bowl — in a good way. Just earthy avocado and jojoba.
One pump is enough

Avocado oil is the star — it’s rich in omega-9s and actually mimics your skin’s natural sebum. Rosehip oil adds a hit of vitamin A for gentle cell turnover, no irritation.
- Avocado Oil: Soaks in fast, doesn’t clog pores
- Jojoba Oil: Balances oil production — weird but true
- Rosehip Oil: Fades dark spots slowly but surely
- Evening Primrose Oil: Calms redness like a chilled glass of water

Texture is thin — almost watery. Glides on like silk, then disappears. First use made my skin feel plump, not greasy. That’s rare for an oil.
Week two: my T-zone actually got less oily. Something about jojoba tricking my pores into chilling out. Unexpected win.

Fine lines around my eyes looked softer after 10 days. But my dry patches? Still there — just less angry. It’s a maintenance oil, not a miracle.

It’s a solid hydration hack for normal-to-dry skin that wants a glow without the grease. Not the ultimate, but a damn good starter oil.
