'This product was up against some of the most high-tech products in the industry, yet out-performed them all.' Jo Fairley, Beauty Bible
The best facial oils sink softly into skin, plumping and nourishing without ever feeling tacky or greasy. Specific ingredients are often chosen for their age-defying properties, helping to brighten skin or lessen wrinkles. We asked our beauty sleuths to help narrow down the choices for you - and here are their top choices, all natural, from around 80 oils that were tested, including the highest scoring product we've ever trialled for any of our books.

Nude Replenishing Night Oil
9.65 points out of 10
Wow. We have waited fourteen years for a product to notch up a mark this staggeringly high - averaged across ten testers (mostly they gave it a ten). So yes, Nude Replenishing Night Oil - from the range developed in tandem with Ali Hewson (aka 'Mrs Bono') - has just ever-so-slightly nudged ahead of our previous long-standing highest scorer, Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, and we have no reason to believe Nude Replenishing Night Oil won't also go on to become one of the great beauty classics. With its blend of active oils (including macadamia, raspberry and cranberry seeds, apricot kernel and kukui), this is super-rich in omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9. The pump-action bottle is sculpted from eco-plastic and it is 100 per cent natural.
'Absolutely enhanced radiance, I felt and looked ten years younger - smoother, less lined, brighter, this is serious skincare'
'Makes my dry crepe skin and flaky patches softer and more dewy, and didn't aggravate at all, which is a miracle in itself'
'My combination skin was definitely plumper, smoother, more moisturised and younger-looking, within 24 hours of first using'
'My dry sensitive skin was much smoother, I would absolutely buy'
'A real anti-age product, a must-have for mature skin'
