Our verdict
A vegan, organic-leaning face oil built around jojoba, evening primrose and sweet almond oils, aimed squarely at oily and blemish-prone skin rather than the typical dry-skin face oil crowd. At $68 for 1.18 oz, it sits at a premium price for its category.

Overview
Naked & Thriving's Detox Balancing Face Oil is aimed at a skin type that most face oils overlook: oily and blemish-prone skin. It leans on jojoba oil, which closely mimics skin's own sebum and is often used to help balance oil production, alongside evening primrose and sweet almond oils for lighter hydration. The brand markets it toward detoxifying and reducing the appearance of oiliness, pigmentation and pores.
At $68 for 1.18 oz (35 mL), this is a premium price point for a face oil, and buyers should be aware they are paying largely for the organic, vegan, paraben-free and biodegradable positioning as much as the oil blend itself. The product is packaged in a bottle and labeled for anytime use.
With 184 reviews and a 4.4-star average, satisfaction looks solid, though the review count is modest for the price tier. Stock also runs low at times, per the listing, which suggests steady but not massive demand.
Pros
- Formulated specifically for oily and blemish-prone skin, a less common niche for face oils
- Jojoba oil is a well-regarded ingredient for balancing the look of oily skin
- Vegan, organic-leaning and paraben-free positioning
- 4.4-star average across 184 reviews
- Anytime use makes it flexible for AM or PM routines
Cons
- $68 is a high price for a 1.18 oz bottle
- Not suited to dry skin looking for heavier hydration
- Review count is modest relative to the price point
- Limited stock noted in the listing, which can mean inconsistent availability
Performance notes
Jojoba oil is chemically similar to skin's natural sebum, which is why it is frequently used in formulas aimed at oily or combination skin, the idea being that skin may need less of its own oil once it senses jojoba on the surface. Evening primrose oil is included for its fatty acid content, which may support the look of skin texture, while sweet almond oil adds light emollience. Together these ingredients suggest a formula built for balance rather than heavy hydration, consistent with its blemish-prone skin positioning.
What buyers say
A 4.4-star average from 184 reviewers points to solid satisfaction, particularly notable for a product targeting a skin type, oily and blemish-prone, that can be harder to please with oil-based formulas. The review count is on the smaller side for the price tier, so it's worth reading a handful of recent reviews before committing.

Frequently asked questions
Can face oil actually help oily skin?
Yes, in many cases. Oils like jojoba closely resemble skin's own sebum, and some formulators believe this can help signal skin to produce less oil on its own. Evening primrose and almond oils add lightweight nutrients without the heaviness of thicker carrier oils. Results vary by individual, and this is not medical advice.
Is this face oil worth $68?
That depends on your budget and how much you value the organic, vegan and paraben-free formulation. It's priced well above average for a 1.18 oz face oil. The 4.4-star rating suggests buyers who purchased it were generally satisfied, but the per-ounce cost is worth comparing against other jojoba-based oils before deciding.
Can this oil help with the look of blemishes and pores?
The formula is marketed toward blemish, pore and pigmentation concerns, and ingredients like jojoba are commonly used in blemish-prone skin routines. It may help support the look of more balanced, even-toned skin over time with consistent use, though it is not a treatment for acne or any skin condition.
