Millionaire Organic Grapeseed Oil - 100% Organic And Cold Pressed
A common skincare myth is that you should never use oils on your skin if you're acne prone or if your skin type is oily. That's incorrect! You're safe to use facial oils as long as they are made from organic, natural ingredients and are anti pore clogging.
Grapeseed oil contains high levels of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can help control acne by decreasing clogged pores. It may seem counterproductive to add oil onto oily skin however the linoleic acid helps prevent breakouts and the oil in general helps with lightening any scarring.
