Life—and every habit, good, bad, or indifferent—shows up on our skin, the emerging science of epigenetics tells us. Once a year at goop, in January, we focus our efforts on healthier diet, exercise, and wellness routines. For 2021, we’re making great skin a priority, starting with a new goop face oil that delivers absolutely amazing results. “This is the year,” says GP. “I’m always into skin care—much more so than makeup—but now I’m taking it to the next level with this unbelievable little bottle of face oil.”
Face oil isn’t often associated with clinical results, but this use-it-every-day, clean-as-can-be one does much more than moisturize and leave skin feeling fantastic: In clinical studies,* 100 percent of participants saw softer, smoother skin after four weeks, and 100 percent of them saw a highly significant improvement in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles after eight. The results for improved firmness, brightness, texture, and moisture levels are similarly impressive.
Made with nine powerful, nutrient-dense oils (including the retinol alternative bakuchiol, vitamin-A-rich cacay, and organic amla, a vitamin C superfood) plus clinically tested extracts like Schisandra fruit and squalane, the oil works as a daily treatment that feels incredible as you smooth it on and leaves skin instantly more moisturized. Over time, the noticeable benefits start to accumulate, so it’s a habit that really makes a difference. “You have to try it to believe it,” says GP, who, along with goop staffers, is making (and sticking to) some serious skin resolutions this year.
GP’s Resolution:
Glowy, Firm, Even-Toned Skin
“It’s amazing what the new face oil has already done for my skin. I’m combining it with exfoliation— GOOPGLOW Microderm—as well as vitamin C. I apply the C onto clean skin every day, and it makes a noticeable difference. Then I go in with the GOOPGENES eye cream. I also want to do a bone broth cleanse, work on healing leaky gut, and eat more greens, all of which are good for skin. Somehow, through this COVID autumn, I’ve managed to overindex on meat, potatoes, and pasta.”

Vineela’s Resolution:
Refresh My Makeup with Oil
“I learned the best trick for when you’re looking tired and think you need a little extra makeup in the afternoon: Pat the face oil on over your makeup (avoiding your eyes). It refreshes your whole look instantly and gives you the best glow, I swear. And it feels like a hug that leaves your skin incredibly soft. Since I’ve been trying out the oil, I’m wearing less makeup. When I feel good about my skin, if I do my lashes and a little cheek color, I’m good to go!”
—Vineela Yerragudi, product manager
Laurel’s Resolution:
Get More Moisture
“Right now, dryness is chasing me everywhere—especially inside my mask—so I’ve been consistent with the new face oil, and it’s paying off big-time: I use it lightly in the morning after exfoliating with GOOPGLOW Microderm, then press it on after layering a skin essence under my favorite hyaluronic serum. It also helps that I’ve been on a hefty no-sugar, no-dairy, no-gluten, hiking and Pilates regimen.”
—Laurel Stovall, private client manager
Jean’s Resolution:
Firmer, Smoother, Dewier Skin
“Because the face oil addresses the appearance of wrinkles, improves firmness, and increases moisture levels all at once, there’s just nothing like it. Layered with GOOPGENES face cream, it’s amazing. And to superpower that combination, all you need is a major exfoliating peel once a week, while you sleep. If you have to be stuck mostly inside, you might as well feel (and look) nourished, dewy, and glowy.”

Megan’s Resolution:
Nourishment for Oily Skin
“One of the best, most skin-balancing things I do for my problem skin is massage it with a few drops of this face oil morning and night. It’s loaded with active botanicals like amla (a source of vitamin C) and bakuchiol (which has similar brightening effects to retinol but is not sensitizing). My skin drinks it up. My routine is an oil cleanser in the shower; next, an amazing new serum I’ve fallen in love with; then the face oil; and last, mineral sunscreen that blends easily into my skin.”
—Megan O’Neill, senior beauty editor
Ali’s Resolution:
Brighter, Smoother Skin
“My skin-care goal for 2021 (besides some major laser on my broken capillaries) is to exfoliate and layer on moisture afterward. I love this face oil—it adds that extra moisture I need. I like my skin bright, a tad shiny even, and this creates an even brightness from chin to forehead, ear to ear.”
—Ali Pew, fashion director
*Based on an eight-week third-party consumer-perception and clinical study conducted on thirty-three women ages thirty-five to sixty-five.
