Liquorice Root for Brightening and Clarity

Liquorice root extract is one of the most respected botanical ingredients for tackling hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven tone. Naturally soothing as well as brightening, it helps restore clarity without irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.

Combined with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, it provides protection against free radical damage, helping to maintain long-term radiance.

Greater Celandine & Horsetail for Strength, Elasticity & Renewal

Chelidonium majus, also known as greater celandine, has a long tradition of use in herbal skincare for its purifying and renewing properties. In this oil, it supports the natural skin renewal process, helping to refine rough texture and promote a smoother, clearer-looking complexion.

Horsetail (Equisetum fluviatile) is naturally rich in silica and minerals, which are known to support collagen production, skin firmness and elasticity. Its inclusion helps the skin feel stronger, more supple and resilient, complementing the brightening and hydrating benefits of the other botanicals.

Deep Hydration and Soothing Comfort

To ensure the oil nourishes as it brightens, the formula features argan oil and jojoba oil, which deliver essential fatty acids to deeply moisturise and strengthen the skin barrier. Chamomile and chickweed extracts calm sensitivity and reduce redness, creating a balanced oil suitable even for delicate skin.

How to Use Napiers Age Defiance Lightening Oil

Apply a few drops to clean skin and gently massage into the face, neck or hands until fully absorbed. Always use before your moisturiser or night cream to allow the active ingredients to penetrate effectively.

☀️ AM: Apply after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser and sunscreen, to brighten and protect throughout the day

🌙 PM: Use at night after cleansing and toning, before applying night cream, to hydrate, repair and restore radiance while you sleep

💧 Tip: For enhanced glow, layer under your favourite moisturiser or blend a drop into your cream for extra hydration
