Doesn’t feel great

Spirallarips

I have dry skin so I thought I’d try this. It’s so thick, it is nourishing but the thickness is unpleasant.
  1. Love this stuff

    Emma

    I will always repurchase this particular oil - it's identical to the DE one but way more affordable. The oil is on the thicker/heavier side of oils however it still sinks in fairly well and feels norishing. I like to use it most on retinol nights to buffer the retinol
  2. Amazing oil for cheap

    Sazzy

    This is fantastic as an all purpose oil and incredibly effective ingredients. I find that it's a bit too much for my face but incredible for body. I often use it on my neck and chest which are far less oily than my face. Very good price for Marula oil.

  4. Nice moisturiser

    Rose

    This is a god extra level of moisturiser in the PM, but I think I rate the B Oil better for absorption and results
  5. Softening

    Emma

    Brightens and softens my skin, I usually use it after the shower to help it absorb easier.
  6. Incredible

    Bluebum

    Oh my! I'm in love with this wonderful oil! It soaks in pretty fast,and I think my skin is improving slowly. You need only a little and I mix in with moisturiser in the PM. In the hair is great, too! Awesome sauce
  7. wonderful product

    Jess V

    I love this as a hair oil i put it in my hair overnight before i wash it the next day - this has been a key part of my hair routine. i use this with the planet base squalane
  8. Nice oil, smells funky

    Rach

    I rate this oil, it's simple and light, non comedogenic and does what it's supposed too. I just don't love the smell.
  9. Hydrating oil

    K

    Hydrating and absorbs well. Great dupe for more expensive marula oils!
  10. Its a great budget option

    Ellie

    I prefer Drunk Elephants version but this is a very economical dupe
  11. Good performance facial oil

    Kristina

    I had high expectatiions for this oil but found that it didn't suit my skin type as well as rosehip oil or other combination oils I have used. I found that it didn't really absorb that well into my skin and didn't leave the satin finish that I get from using a rosehip oil. The low price point is an advantage but I don't think I will be repurchasing.
  12. Hydrating and absorbs well

    Serena

    I purchased this product as a an affordable alternative for another popular brand. I put them on the back of my hand at the same time and could not notice the difference at all. My skin does not tolerate heavy products well, so I did not think I would like an oil. This oil is the best. It is very lightweight and feels so silky when massaging into the face. I use it on my face, neck, hands, cuticle...

  18. Silky and light face oil

    Lovely oil

    I have been using the Go-To Face Oil but wanted a change to something less fragrant. This oil is lovely, with hardly any fragrance and application is silky. It feels light on my skin and hasn't created any congestion. Also super cheap compared to other brands that use Marula Oil as a base.

    kim

    a bit greasy and doesn't really sink in. personally, this was a bit unpleasant to use.
  20. Cheap & Effective

    Elly

    I've always used an oil over my moisturiser at night to prevent trans-epidermal water loss, and I was on the hunt for a cheap face oil. This did the job and was perfect for that added level of *glazed donut status* that I needed in the winter months and as the seasons changed. Perfect for dehydration!
  21. Perfect night moisturiser

    Minz

    This works great as a night moisturiser on it's own or mix a couple of drops into a lighter day moisturiser for extra hydration.
  22. Exceeds expectations

    I am really impressed with this product. I have never tried a facial oil before and one of the Adore Beauty reps recommended it to me as I have recently been swimming more and the chemicals in the pool really dry out my skin. I add a few drops of this to my moisturiser and it gives my skin the hydration it needs. It doesn't at all look oily on your face! It gives your skin an amazing glow. Would d...

  27. Brilliant oil

    SarahMareeDee

    My skin does not tolerate many oils, despite being dry. When I initially started using a competitor's (very ezpensive!) marula oil, I was happy to find an oil my skin liked. Then, I found this well priced version, and I think its even better!! Its a lovely oil when layered over my nightly serum & cream.
  28. So far so good

    Jess

    I just love this brand. Almost spend more than triple the price on the same product from a different brand. This is lightweight and fragrance free which i enjoy.

    i've used this oil continuously for a few weeks on my face overnight and found that it visibly brightens and tightens my skin. skin colour becomes more even overall even after a few days (i've done this experiment several times with this bottle) and looks generally healthier. i will definitely purchase another bottle.
  33. No complaints

    Abinaya

    Good value for the price and it was delivered quickly.
  34. Super Nourishing Oil

    Kay

    This oil feels very nourishing and my dry, thirsty skin just drinks it up. I use it with a serum every morning and night. Shiny when applied so I leave for about 10 minutes before applying anything else, or makeup. I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate.
  35. Excellent product, even better price point

    Iryna

    I have been putting on a marula oil product onto my cheeks after my morning moisturiser for months now as it provides them with some extra hydration during winter and I purchased this as a cheaper replacement for my usual brand. This product is absolutely excellent and is exactly the same in texture, effectiveness and absorption as my previous brand (which cost 3x more). This oil also works as an ...

  36. Little gem!

    Mandy

    I am pleasantly surprised to enjoy this product a lot. I use it to hydrate my skin all over the body. A little amount goes a long way. It absorbs fast and feels non greasy once it soaks in the skin. I haven't tried on my hair yet. I might try as well. Highly recommended !

  37. Lovely product and fantastic price

    S

    I received a sample of the Drunk Elephant Marula oil, and found it nice but not enough to justify the price. I saw this instead, which is amazingly affordable like everything else in the Ordinary range. This is a nice, smooth oil that glides on skin really well and is a great oil to apply at night, especially in combination with their rosehip oil.
  38. Love it

    A

    I’ve returned to this after trying the DE Marula oil and honestly prefer this even if there wasn’t such a large price difference. I have normal-dry skin and this leaves my skin feeling hydrated with a dewy glow. I will continue to repurchase this product.
  39. Fantastic, low-cost, derm-recommended

    Latenights

    I was recommended to use this by a derm especially in winter for dry skin. It may appear oily and therefore to be used as an occlusive (final step of skincare routine), however the derm advised it is one of the few oils that absorbs easily into the skin and can be applied even before moisturiser. I mix a few drops into the moisturiser I use before bed. which makes it feel silkier and glide on very...

  43. Fantastic, good value

    Latenights

    I add a few drops to my moisturiser at night during winter and it really extends the hydration without the greasiness as it does absorb into the skin. It does take a while to absorb so I wouldn't use it in the morning, as the skin looks greasy for some time.
  44. Marula Oil is a must-have

    Leah

    Apply at night, wake up to nourished and plumped skin. I use it on face, neck decolletage and forearms and hands. The pigmentation has cleared after 6 months of using Marula Oil and The Ordinary Borage Seed Oil on alternating nights. Used to use 'top line' products. The Ordinary is actually the top line.
  45. Absolute best!

    Lara83

    This is an absolute must have, staple in my daily skincare routine, both morning and night. I will not be without it! My skin has never looked better, and I no longer have dry patches or dullness like I have had in the past. This mixes well with other skincare, both from The Ordinary, and other brands. Such amazing value for a quality product. Please never stop stocking this!
  46. Don't leave the shopping cart without this

    This is fantastic for my dry skin. My skin looks and feels happy, calm and dewy. Love love love. What every do you today, don't finalise your shopping cart until you add this product.

    Alana

    I heard that Marula oil is the best oil for your skin and hair, and is a dupe to other expensive brands, so I definitely wanted to try this out.

  55. Does what it says it does

    Jess

    I don’t normally buy The Ordinary as I usually am happy to spend on cosmecuticals. I was recommended at Mecca to purchase Marula Oil as it’s a great oil for mature/dry skin. This one is great, it’s not too greasy but really gives a nice glow. I am 35 with normal to dry skin and I find this really nice, I mix it with my moisturizer and apply together. I find my skin is super soft in the morning!!
  56. Great moisturizer

    Cindi

    This is a great moisturizer.Unlike most of the facila oils this is absorbed by the skin real fast and really well.I also use rosehip oil on my face but I find it making my face too oily and not absorbing well.But this ordinary marula oil is perfect!Also it’s a very affordable price.ImThis is my favourite facial oil out of them all.
  57. Mandatory

    Taryn

    After the age of 40 - everyone must buy a Marula oil and as I like to prioritise spending on more higher end prevention oils (Skinceuticals) I have to look at buying more economical brands to fill in the gaps. But Marula oil is a powerhouse and pretty much any Marula will be more or likely resulting in a similar result so I choose to buy The Ordinary's which has been touted by experts - as just as...

  58. Absorbs well, great for night time

    Fi

    An affordable marula oil that boosts your moisturisers. I mainly use in two ways: mix few drops into moisturiser or apply over the top of moisturiser. I find it locks in the moisture. It looks greasy at first but DOES absorb overnight. Due it being so affordable I also apply a few drops to my hands before bed. Skin looks so much healthier with this product.
  59. Hydrating but not too oily

    Lucy

    I love how hydrating this product is! Obviously it's an oil but it absorbs remarkably well (there is sometimes some residual oil left over but that usually absorbs not too long after). It gives more of a glow rather than a shiny oil look which is great too! I find my skin more plump and soft after using this product.
  60. Do yourself a favour! Top quality gorgeous face oil.

    SarahBear

    I’ve got both Drunk Elephant Marula oil and this one by The Ordinary and on comparison I cannot find any difference in quality and texture but only the price point (where DE is about 7 times the price).
  61. So hydrating and smooth

    Chloeb

    I love this Marula oil. Such good value for money. Hydrated my skin and leaves it glowing. It works so well with peels I have used for extra hydration. I’ve used drunk elephant Marula oil and love this just as much if not more and at such a great price. Love it!
  62. Hydrating Oil

    Jessica

    Really nice hydrating oil. Was super devastated as I only had it for a week and dropped the entire bottle on the floor. But it’s so cheap I could just get another.
  63. Good

    Dhanoa

    It is surprisingly good. It hydrates my dry skin and doesn't feel greasy like some of the other oils that I have tried.
  64. It's ok?

    Kelly

    I was excited to try this because of all the reviews on here and on youtube. It's a little bit greasy, super easy to apply. I didn't see any benefits. I also started getting little red dots between my eye brows. maybe it's too greasy for my skin? i have dry skin in winter, so seems crazy it would be too greasy for me. will not repurchase.
  65. Great dupe for some of the higher end brands

    Emma Loves Skincare

    I love using Facial oils and I found this was a great alternative to some of the higher end branded more expensive options out there such as the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil. I had comparable results but the bottle lasted longer

    For reference my skin is oily/combination skin and I am 30 years old
  66. Lovely oil

    am.pm.skin

    I purchased this product to mix in with some of my other thick face cream. It works so well, doesn’t leave my face too oily. I sometimes put some at the end of my hair, so it’s not too dry. Value for money :)
  67. Lovely, not greasy!

    Kristie

    Marula oil is great oil, that isn’t greasy and great for those who suffer from dermatitis, eczema or like things to help nourish and relieve. I use on my face and hands and it makes your skin feel lovely. I tried this after using the drunk elephant one, which is alot more expensive! I do like the drunk elephant one better on my face,but this is great for everywhere else!
  68. Great

    Sarah

    This marula oil has been great for my skin. I use it as the last product in my night time routine. My skin looks great by the next morning
  69. Really Lovely Product

    BJ

    I have normal to dry skin, I'm 35+ and I found this oil to be a really lovely product. Nice and light and sat beautifully on my skin. I much prefer it to the rosehip oil I was using. No fragrance and the price point is excellent.
  70. Hydrating

    T

    This is the 2nd time I've purchased this product and I love the effects on my dry skin! It is very hydrating and a little goes a long way. It is not thick and rubs in very easily. There is a bit of a shine after using it so best to use it at night before bed.
  71. Perfectly adequate

    Nicole

    I'm guilty of jumping onto the marula oil bandwagon after hearing its benefits for dry and dehydrated skin. This was also my first foray into facial oils. It does take a while to absorb, but leaves the skin feeling pretty soft. I wouldn't say the effect is long lasting though. I'm a little apathetic about this product to be honest.
  72. Exactly the same as DE... just $100 cheaper.

    SC

    I was using the DE Marula Oil for ages, then I saw this and I couldn’t work out why it was so cheap in comparison. So when I ran out of DE I bought this to see if it was any good, and I seriously couldn’t tell the difference between the two products.

    Both are made of 100% Marula Oil, so they’re virtually the same thing - just different packaging and very different prices.

    Love it.

    I use it in the morning after spritzing my face with a toner or water, it absorbs really well on a wet face and locks in the moisture. The consistency is quite thick, kind of like olive oil, it spreads really well so you don't need to use heaps.

    It goes on oily but doesn't stay oily like a lot of other oils and serums, so it goes really well under a moisturiser...

  81. Great oil!

    Lana

    I am a huge fan of facial oils and have tried SO many. This one is lovely, basic and definitely softens my skin. Compared to the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil, The Ordinary’s take feels slightly thicker on the skin, but performs similarly, and for the price, you can’t go wrong!
  82. Why did I waste my money on DRUNK ELEPHANT

    Zoe

    I’m sorry, to all those consumers that bought into drunk elephants cold pressed Marula oil... I was one. And I’m gravely sorry I spent that amount of money on the EXACT SAME PRODUCT AS THE ORDINARY!
    It’s exactly the same if not better, it’s plumping, hydrating, smooth and luxurious feeling and I’m so so so sad I didn’t know about this one sooner! SAVE YOURSELF THE CASH!!!! Buy this one
  83. I really like this one!

    Becky

    I love this Marula oil. It’s cheap, doesn’t break me out and is really hydrating. I haven’t noticed a big difference in terms of brightening effect but I love that I can add a few drops to my moisturiser or just use it by itself based on what my combination skin needs at any given time.
  84. Great with foundation

    Emma

    I mix a drop or two of this into my foundation every day to make it look more skin like. It works, without being "oily"! I use it sometimes mixed in with my moisturiser, or in the last step of my skincare night routine. A great all rounder, sinks in nicely and doesn't sit on top and become filmy like some oils do.
  85. Make's everything better

    angela

    This was the first The Ordinary product I was introduced to after my friend discovered it. It has has a light texture and doesn't make your skin feel oily. It works really well to hydrate my skin and even out my skin tone. I also mix a drop or two in with my foundation to make it looks natural and dewy.

    This marula oil is amazing! I use it almost every day after my serums and when I wake up in the morning, my face is plump and hydrated. It has a clear consistency and there is no smell.

    I have pretty normal skin but more recently before buying this it’s been looking very dull. Definitely leaving my skin looking more glowy again.
  91. High Quality oil

    Michelle

    I use a few drops on my face in the mornings. It seems to just sit on my face, but after applying my moisturiser (TOs Natural Moisturising Factors) it all absorbs right in and doesn't pose a problem for my oily skin, even with sunscreen and makeup on top. I also use a few drops in the ends of my hair. It helps moisturise the dry ends with minimum fuss.
  92. Deeply Hydrating

    Kira

    I find it is really great at replenishing my skin. Recently I've had dry hands and used this to help bring them back to normal! It completely changed the look and feel of my hands. I feel like this is a great multi purpose product for anyone who deals with dry skin!
  93. Super hydrating

    I am in my early 30’s with combination dry skin. I have minimal lines although sometimes feel dry and lacking plumpness. If I want a surge of moisture I put this on my skin and wake up with glowing skin that looks plump and feels very soft.

  96. Budget version of the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil

    Jessica

    Love this right now with this dry winter weather. Mixing it into moisturizer for the face, or slathering on a layer before sleep. it is really giving my skin what it needs. Also using it on my body on occasion. Tried it once in the hair - unfortunately I did this post washing assuming it would be similar to Moroccan oil. It was not and made my hair super oily. I think its a pre wash situation!
  97. Amazing

    Isabella

    Fast absorbing and super easy to use. I love oils for my skin and this one is no different!
  98. Great light oil

    Emma

    Really nice, no smell, easily absorbs into my skin at night. I generally put this on after serums and before my moisturiser. Wake up in the morning to nice plump hydrated feeling skin. Will be buying again.
  99. Not great

    Follies

    I purchased this as a moisturiser in my T.O skin care routine. The oil just tends to sit on top of the skin, no matter how much it is gently coaxed with massaging. I also tried it for my hair, a drop or two left my hair incredibly heavy and flat. In fact my hair felt as though I hadn't washed it in weeks. (I don't have particularity coarse hair, so that may answer that) So not good there either......

    I like this oil
    Great feel
    Absorbs quickly
    Doesn’t smell.

    Thank you. I like it a lot.

    Regard,
