• 3% vitamin C face oil
  • Cloudberry + jojoba oils
  • Seals in moisture
  • For dry, dull skin

What it is

A nourishing face oil from Gleamin, the dark-spot-focused skincare brand built with melanin-rich skin in mind. Some skin needs more than a cream can give; this is the answer.

What it does

Locks in moisture with a nourishing blend of plant oils plus 3% oil-soluble vitamin C, so skin looks soft and radiant. Cloudberry seed oil, jojoba, and pumpkin seed oil do the nourishing; turmeric and vitamin E add glow and antioxidant support.

Who it's for

Dry or dehydrated skin that wants extra nourishment, and dull or uneven-looking skin. Anyone who likes a facial oil as the last step of their routine.

How to use

How much: Two to three drops for face and neck, morning and night.

1. Cleanse and apply your serum.
2. Warm 2 to 3 drops between your fingertips and press them over your face and neck. Do not rub.
3. Use morning and night. For extra moisture, layer it over the Advanced Brightening Moisturizer, and finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.

Where it fits: After serum and moisturizer (oils seal in what is underneath), or on its own after serum for a lighter routine.

About the brand

Gleamin

The vitamin C mask that went viral

Gleamin was started by New Zealand founder Jordan Smyth, who struggled with rosacea and spent two years perfecting a mask inspired by homemade turmeric-and-vitamin-C rituals. The result was their Vitamin C Clay Mask, blending Kakadu plum, desert lime, and turmeric: vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologist tested, and comfortable to wear instead of tight and cracky. Now based in Los Angeles, the brand has earned the trust of over a million customers.

We stock Gleamin because their clay mask actually brightens without that tight, cracked-face feeling, and the reviews speak for themselves.

Skincare questions, answered

Where does this go in my routine?

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then SPF in the morning. This product's How to use section above tells you its exact step.

When will I see results?

Give it 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use — that's one full skin cycle. Hydration shows up in days; tone and texture take weeks. If your skin reacts badly (stinging, new breakouts that don't settle within a week), stop using it.

I have sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?

Patch test first: a dab behind your ear or along your jawline, wait 24 hours. Fragrance-free formulas are the safest bet for reactive skin — check the highlights on this page.
