From acne treatments to glycolic exfoliators and retinol-loaded creams, we're often told the best way to treat spots is with products containing countless harsh actives. But did you know many of these blemish-fighting products could be doing your skin more harm than good? Often, they strip the skin, attack our protective barrier and disrupt our skin's delicate microbiome, resulting in a vicious circle of redness, sensitivity, dehydration and, yes you guessed it, further breakouts.

Enter: our award-winning Ally Recovery Facial Oil. One of our most popular products, this spot-healing superstar takes a different approach. And it really works - you just have to look at our incredible community success stories. 

Why did we name it the 'Ally?'

One of our most frequently asked questions is, "Can oily skin use your face oils?" The answer is yes, absolutely. The entire By Sarah range is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and Dermatologically Approved for Sensitive Skin.

We know many of our customers are dealing with hormonal changes, cancer treatment and pregnancy, which can all cause unwanted blemishes and breakouts. We've developed a product that specifically gets to work on spots, and features a lightweight easily-absorbed texture that oily skins will adore.

Whether it's a regular crop of spots, rosacea-acne or the occasional big blighter, consider the Ally your skin's support network in a bottle. Our trusty blemish-healing blend truly has your back and won't let you down.

What are the ingredients?

The Ally is powered by zero-waste Hemp Seed, which is rich in linoleic acid - a nutrient often lacking in acne-prone skins.

This lightweight, non-pore blocking ingredient is sustainably sourced and contains CBD, which can help treat inflammatory skin conditions including acne and redness. Unlike many other spot-fighting ingredients, it actually strengthens the skin barrier and helps balance its microbiome for a calmer and more resilient complexion.

In the Ally, it works alongside jojoba oil, which reduces sebum production, papaya extracts to gently remove dead skin cells, and vitamin E, which helps to improve skin function. 

How do I use a facial oil?

Simply massage a few drops into cleansed, damp (or freshly moisturised) skin each morning and night. Take the time to massage into the entire face and neck, rather than applying it to a single zit or cluster of spots. The Ally Recovery Facial Oil works perfectly after cleansing with the Balancer Cream Cleanser and hydrating the skin with the Reviver Hydrating Mist. 

What do your customers say?

It's all in the name. It really is an 'Ally' for so many of our customers:

"Since using this, my acne-prone skin has healed and any flare-ups are quickly dissipated. Plus my red scarring from blemishes has been dramatically reduced. Definitely been my skincare saviour!"
Emmeline – Feefo review

"THIS IS A MIRACLE IN THE FORM OF OIL! My skin improved after using it less than a week. No irritation whatsoever. Skin is not oily after using and surprisingly it does not feel sticky and greasy like other oils from other brands I’ve tried. It works like a dream! Also, my sister who is struggling with a really acute type of acne said that this oil helped her more than any harsh medication prescribed by doctor. And it’s only after few days of using (stealing from me:) ). The difference is significant! Skin feels healthier and in better condition. Overall, I love it, my sister loves it and I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone with the skin problem I know."
Paulina – Feefo review

"Incredible and rapid results. A product that I can rely upon to help me diminish any breakouts as soon as they appear, vanishing them within a couple of days!"
Ella – Feefo review
