Some skin just needs more - more nourishment, more barrier support, more of the good stuff that gets depleted by stress, environment, and time. The (MALIN+GOETZ) Recovery Treatment Oil is a high-performance botanical face oil that absorbs quickly and gets to work immediately, delivering long-lasting moisture and visibly softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A rich blend of nine skin-compatible plant oils - including Argan, Borage, Camellia, Evening Primrose, Avocado, Rosehip, and Jojoba - supplies the fatty acids skin needs to nourish deeply and seal in moisture, while sugarcane-derived Squalane helps maintain flexibility and hydration throughout the day. In an independent consumer study, 100% of participants agreed skin feels smoother, and 94% agreed skin's overall appearance showed a noticeable improvement after four weeks of daily use.
Vegan and cruelty-free. Note: colour may vary over time due to the essential oil blend - this doesn't affect performance.
Who's It For
Anyone with normal, dry, or extremely dry skin looking to upgrade their routine with something that genuinely replenishes. Also ideal for textured, dull, or uneven skin tone - or anyone who wants their face to look like they just got back from a week somewhere warm.
Key Benefits
-
Clinically proven to nourish and smooth. 100% of participants in an independent 4-week study agreed skin feels smoother; 97% agreed skin feels nourished.
-
Visibly improves skin appearance. 94% agreed skin looks brighter; 91% agreed skin texture looks more even; 88% agreed skin tone looks more even.
-
Long-lasting moisture without heaviness. Squalane and a blend of fatty acid-rich botanical oils absorb quickly to hydrate deeply and lock in moisture - no greasiness, no residue.
-
Restores skin resilience. Borage Oil (Borago Officinalis) is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that helps balance and restore the skin's natural barrier function.
-
Softens fine lines and wrinkles. The combination of nourishing oils and antioxidant Vitamin E (Tocopherol) works to plump and smooth the skin's surface over time.
-
Multi-purpose formula. Works as a standalone treatment, layered under moisturizer, or mixed into your existing products for an extra hit of nourishment.
Scent Profile
Warm and softly botanical - a blend of Geranium, Lavender, Orange, and Spearmint that reads as clean and spa-like rather than perfumed. There's a gentle floral-herbal character on application that fades to something almost imperceptible on the skin. Grounding without being heavy.
Key Ingredients
-
Squalane - Derived from renewable sugarcane, Squalane mimics the skin's own natural moisturizer to maintain hydration and flexibility without clogging pores.
-
Borage Oil (Borago Officinalis Seed Oil) - Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), Borage Oil helps balance and restore the skin's resilience and barrier function - particularly effective for dry or stressed skin.
-
Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) - A nutrient-dense oil packed with fatty acids and antioxidants that nourishes, softens, and helps protect skin from environmental stressors.
-
Rosehip Oil (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil) - Rich in essential fatty acids and known for its ability to improve skin tone, texture, and the visible appearance of fine lines over time.
-
Fatty Acid-Rich Oil Complex (Camellia, Evening Primrose, Avocado, Jojoba, Grapeseed) - A multi-oil blend that seals in moisture, nourishes the skin barrier, and supports a smoother, more even complexion.
-
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) - An antioxidant-rich nutrient that soothes, protects against free radical damage, and supports skin recovery.
How To Use
Apply 2 to 3 drops to clean, dry skin on face and neck. Can be used alone, layered under moisturizer, or mixed into your moisturizer for a customized boost. Use morning or evening - or both if your skin is particularly thirsty. To protect the dropper, do not twist the rubber bulb when opening. Unscrew by twisting the cap only.
Why MASC Recommends This
Face oils have a reputation for being fussy or niche, but the Recovery Treatment Oil is one of the most versatile and approachable in its category - a genuinely multi-purpose formula that works whether you're dealing with serious dryness, dull skin, or just want to give your routine an extra layer of performance. The clinical numbers back it up, and the texture makes it easy to use. (MALIN+GOETZ) has been doing this kind of intelligent, effective formulation for over two decades, and this oil is a strong example of why MASC has trusted the brand since its earliest days in Canada.
