Camellia seed oil is extracted from seeds found in the Camellia fruit, which is native to China and Japan. The oil is typically cold-pressed from the seeds and has a light, nutty scent and golden-brown color. Used for hundreds of years, the vitamin is rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, C, D, and E, as well as squalene. As an emollient, camellia seed oil staves off dehydration in the skin. 

Thanks to the properties found in camellia seed oil, Oleo Botanicals notes that it has various benefits, such as barrier protection, fighting free radicals, fading hyperpigmentation, and reducing signs of aging. Like many facial oils that are safe for acne-prone skin, camellia seed oil is non-comedogenic, so it's unlikely to cause any further breakouts. It's also lightweight, sinking easily into the skin to preserve moisture.

If you'd rather use camellia seed oil in a facial oil instead of another ingredient in a cleanser or moisturizer, it should be the last step in your skincare routine at night. If you prefer to wear your face oil during the day as well, use it a few minutes after a chemical sunscreen. If you're using a mineral sunscreen, apply your facial oil beforehand.
