100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil — Reddit Reviews
by The Ordinary
Updated August 25, 2026
Cold-pressed marula oil provides hydration and barrier support; greasy and slow absorbing.
What the community says
A 100% cold-pressed marula oil focused on hydration and skin barrier support used mainly as a final moisturizer step. It suits dry or dehydrated skin types but feels heavy and greasy on oily skin. Absorption can take 15+ minutes, so layering needs planning.
