Neem oil
Neem oil clarifies the skin by leaving pores clear and evening out the complexion. It suits most skin types best and is available in serums. It fits easily into a routine because it layers easily.

Questions and answers
What does neem oil do for the skin?
Neem oil helps moisturize the skin and soothe irritation. It also possesses antimicrobial properties that may assist with acne-prone skin.
How do you use neem oil?
Neem oil is typically applied topically to the skin as needed, often diluted with a carrier oil to help reduce potential irritation. It helps soothe dry skin and may support a clear complexion.
Should you use neem oil in the morning or at night?
You can use neem oil at night as part of your evening routine. Because of its strong scent and heavy texture, applying it before bed helps your skin absorb it overnight without interfering with daytime products.
Can you use neem oil every day?
Neem oil is unlikely to be suitable for everyday use because its heavy texture and strong potency can easily irritate or clog skin over time. Instead, it is better used a few times a week as a targeted treatment rather than a daily staple.
Does neem oil cause purging or irritation?
Neem oil does not typically cause skin purging, but it may cause irritation or allergic reactions for people with sensitive skin. It is best to patch-test the oil before applying it to the face.
Which skin types is neem oil best for?
Neem oil is best for oily and acne-prone skin because it helps manage excess oil and targets blemishes. It is also beneficial for dry or mature skin types as it may provide deep hydration and support a smooth texture.
