Anyone who knows me knows that I love a food facial oil, so when DWIRA offered me the chance to try the Hemp Superfood Face Oil, I jumped at the opportunity.
Although hemp is such a popular skincare ingredient, I hadn’t tried it in my skincare routine, so I couldn’t wait to try this facial oil out.
But just how good is the DWIRA Hemp Superfood Face Oil? Keep on reading to find out whether this skincare product is worth purchasing!

My thoughts on the DWIRA Hemp Superfood Face Oil
As I mentioned previously, I love the packaging of this face oil. It’s fun, colourful and doesn’t look overly clinical. I can definitely see the African influence in DWIRA’s packaging, which makes it stand out in my skincare collection. Awesome.
This bottle is 15ml, but the oil was truly filled right up to the top. I’ve bought facial oils before where they’re not filled to the top, so I appreciate this.
The Hemp Oil is a vibrant yellow-green shade. It’s also quite thick and gloopy oil. I normally use 3-4 drops, spread the oil out between both palms evenly, and apply to my face. As the oil is thick, I was worried that it might be too rich for my normal/oily skin or that it wouldn’t absorb quickly. However, I can confirm that this oil absorbs quickly into the skin and is surprisingly very lightweight.
My favourite thing about the DWIRA Hemp Superfood Face Oil is how radiant it makes my skin looks. It reminds me of the OSKIA Super-C Capsules in that on application, your skin instantly looks glowy. Dewy skin is so popular at the minute and I love how healthy this oil makes my skin look.
It’s also very hydrating and nourishing. My skin has felt a little dehydrated recently and this facial oil has worked a treat. I particularly think people with drier skin would appreciate this product!
The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the smell. It’s definitely due to the hemp seed oil, which smells quite… leafy? It’s pretty overpowering, but there’s not too much you can do as that’s just how hemp seed oil smells. When I’ve read reviews of this product, though, people seem to love the smell, so it’s probably just me lol!
All in all, I’m really impressed with the DWIRA Hemp Superfood Face Oil. It’s ideal for adding moisture and a healthy glow to the skin.
Where to buy
The Hemp Superfood Face Oil costs £25 for 15ml and you can purchase it directly from DWIRA.
I’d definitely recommend checking out the products from this wonderful, vegan and black-owned skincare brand.
Conclusion
I’m really impressed with this hemp facial oil. Lightweight, absorbent, nourishing and gives a serious glow. You don’t need much product to instantly feel like your skin is moisturised. Plus, the packaging is fantastic.

Sounds amazing, unfortunately my skin doesn’t get on with hemp, but so many people rave about it has an ingredient! Love how moisturizing a face oil can be xx

Ah, that sucks. It was my first time using a product with hemp in it and I got on really well with it! Face oils are awesome xx
This oil sounds amazing, I love the sound of the ingredients, it sounds like something my dry skin would love. I don’t think I’ve ever used a face product that you leave on that has hemp in it, only something like a sheet mask. But I can see how the scent could be strong in a product like this x

It’s really lovely! The thick texture means you don’t need to use much either, meaning it’ll last longer and you get more for your money. So far, I’ve loved using this hemp oil and it makes my skin look so glowy! x
Oooh I haven’t tried hemp as a skincare ingredient yet either- this has some impressive boasts so I reckon I’ll have to keep an eye out- you’ve intrigued me!

It’s definitely worth checking out! I think the price point is reasonable too, especially as you don’t need to use much product on application x
I’m always looking to boost my skin’s radiance- this oil sounds amazing!
