Face Oil Serum

Most moisturizers work on your skin. This one works within it.

Where synthetic creams sit on the surface, these botanical oils penetrate your skin's hydrolipid layer, the delicate protective barrier that determines whether your skin thrives or merely survives. The result isn't just hydrated, it's healed. Redness calms overnight. Dry patches soften and disappear. And that cycle of applying more product to compensate for damage? It simply doesn't happen here.

This is what your skin ritual has been missing.

What Makes This Different

The Helichrysum Advantage

We use organic helichrysum essential oil—known as "Immortelle" for its legendary regenerative properties. Where most serums simply moisturize, helichrysum actively repairs. It reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and helps your skin recover from environmental stress, sun damage, and the natural aging process.

Barrier Repair, Not Just Moisture

Your skin's hydrolipid layer is its first line of defense. When damaged by harsh cleansers, environmental stress, or synthetic products, your skin becomes vulnerable—leading to redness, sensitivity, and premature aging. This formula doesn't just add moisture. It rebuilds that barrier with omega-rich oils that mirror your skin's natural lipid composition.

Hand-Poured in Small Batches

Each bottle is blended and poured by hand in our Carlsbad studio by an aesthetician, aromatherapist, and skincare specialist. We never produce more than we can ensure meets our standards—which means every batch is as fresh as the day we formulated it.

How to Use

Evening (Essential)

After cleansing and misting, warm 3 drops between your palms. Using circular motions, distribute across your hands, then gently press and pat over your face, neck, and the backs of your hands. Let your skin drink it in as you sleep—this is when the deepest repair happens.

Morning (Optional)

For drier skin types or harsh weather, apply 2-3 drops the same way. For oilier skin, the evening application may be sufficient on its own.

For Intensive Repair

When your skin is especially compromised—after sun exposure, during illness, or in harsh climates—use a full dropper. This concentrated treatment accelerates healing and restoration when your skin needs it most.

Multi-Purpose Treatment

Press a drop into cuticles, dry patches on elbows, or any area needing intensive moisture and repair. These botanicals work anywhere your skin needs healing.

Who This Is For

• Skin showing signs of damage, dryness, or premature aging
• Anyone frustrated by products that moisturize but don't actually improve skin health
• Sensitive, reactive skin that responds to everything
• Those with rosacea, eczema, or persistent redness
• Anyone seeking genuine repair, not just temporary relief

If you've given up on finding a moisturizer that actually makes your skin better, this is your invitation. If you've tried face oils but found them greasy or ineffective, this is your second chance.

What to Expect

First use: You'll notice how quickly it absorbs—no greasy residue, no pilling under makeup. Just skin that feels immediately nourished and calm.

After one week: Dry patches begin to soften. Redness visibly diminishes. Your skin feels more resilient, less reactive to environmental stressors.

After one month: You'll see transformation. Texture improves, tone evens out, fine lines soften. Many find they can reduce or eliminate other products because their skin is finally functioning optimally from a foundation of true health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will oil make my skin more oily?

Counterintuitively, no. When you use synthetic moisturizers or harsh products that strip your skin, it overcompensates by producing excess oil. These botanical oils signal to your skin that it has what it needs, helping to regulate sebum production naturally. Jojoba oil in particular mimics your skin's natural sebum, creating balance rather than excess.

Can I use this if I have acne-prone skin?

Yes. The oils in this formula are non-comedogenic and actually help balance oil production. Helichrysum has antibacterial properties, while the omega-rich oils reduce the inflammation that contributes to breakouts. Many with acne-prone skin find this serum helps where synthetic products made things worse.

My skin is extremely dry. Will this be enough?

For most people, yes—especially when used after our hydrating mist. If you have severely compromised skin, start with a full dropper as an intensive treatment. As your barrier repairs itself over weeks, you'll likely find you need less product to maintain that healthy state.

I have rosacea. Is this safe for me?

This formula was designed with sensitive, reactive skin in mind. Helichrysum and pomegranate seed oil are both known for reducing redness and inflammation—both crucial for rosacea management. The formula contains no irritants or sensitizers. We recommend patch-testing first, as with any new product.

How is this different from drugstore face oils?

Most commercial face oils use cheap carrier oils and synthetic fragrances. This formula was developed by a trained aesthetician using therapeutic-grade botanicals. Each ingredient serves a specific purpose in barrier repair and skin regeneration. The difference is in both the quality of ingredients and the expertise behind the formulation.

Can I use this under makeup?

Absolutely. Allow 2-3 minutes for complete absorption. The oils penetrate rather than sit on skin, creating a smooth, hydrated base. Many find makeup applies better and lasts longer over this serum than over synthetic primers.

What does it smell like?

Herbal, floral, and slightly earthy—the natural scent of the botanical oils and essential oils working together. Nothing synthetic, nothing overpowering. The aroma is grounding and therapeutic, fading naturally as the oils absorb.

How long will one bottle last?

With typical use (3 drops morning and evening), approximately three months. If you only use it at night or have smaller facial features, it may last four months or longer.

Will this help with fine lines and wrinkles?

Yes. By repairing and strengthening your skin barrier, this serum addresses one of the primary causes of premature aging. Rosehip seed oil's vitamin A content supports cell turnover, while helichrysum promotes regeneration. Results are gradual but genuine—this is skin improvement, not temporary plumping.

Why Salud

We started Salud in 2015 because we believed skincare could be simpler, cleaner, and more intentional. Every product we create is hand-poured in small batches using ingredients we'd use on our own skin—because we do.

This isn't about trends or marketing claims. It's about creating products that work, formulas you can trust, and a ritual that feels like self-care rather than another task.
