FAQs

Why does the oil separate in the bottle and is this normal?
+

Yes, the separation is entirely normal and intentional — it is the defining characteristic of a biphase formula. The two phases of the product (precious plant oils in one, the aqueous-phase actives including the rose stem cell and Grand Rose Extracts complex in the other) are formulated without the emulsifying agents that would otherwise keep them permanently combined. This preserves the integrity and potency of each phase independently between uses. Shaking the bottle immediately before each application combines the phases into a unified treatment formula that is applied to the skin at optimal freshness and potency. The visual separation between uses is a mark of quality, not instability.

How is this biphase oil different from the Precious Cells Oleo Serum?
+

Both are oil-format products within the Precious Cells range but they serve different roles and have a distinct format and character. The Oleo Serum is a stable, homogeneous oil-serum hybrid — it does not separate — designed for consistent twice-daily use as the primary serum step in the routine. The Biphase Oil is a two-phase treatment that separates between uses and is shaken before each application, typically used as a more concentrated, versatile treatment step — either as an alternative serum, a cream booster, or a weekly intensive treatment. The biphase format has a more theatrical quality and a different sensory experience, and is often used by those who want an additional nourishing dimension beyond what the Oleo Serum alone provides.

Can I mix this oil into my moisturiser?
+

Yes, and this is one of the recommended usage approaches. Dispense one or two drops of the Biphase Oil (shaken first) into your palm alongside your day or night cream, blend between the fingertips, and apply both together. This approach delivers the nourishing oil actives and the cream's ingredients simultaneously, and is particularly well suited to periods when the skin needs additional barrier nourishment — colder months, after travel, or when the skin feels particularly dry or depleted. Ensure you do not use more than two drops when mixing, to avoid over-oiling the finished blend.

Is a facial oil suitable for oily or combination skin?
+

Paradoxically, yes — with appropriate usage. The skin's production of sebum is partly regulated by its surface lipid content, and skin that is stripped of surface oils by astringent products can actually increase sebum production in response. A small amount of the right facial oil, applied correctly, can help to balance rather than worsen an oily skin tendency. For combination or oily skin, use only one to two drops, apply in the evening rather than the morning, or blend a single drop into the night cream rather than applying as a standalone step. Monitor the skin's response over the first two to three weeks and adjust accordingly.

How many applications will 15ml provide?
+

With two to four drops per application, 15ml will typically provide between 30 and 60 applications — representing one to two months of daily use or two to four months of two to three times weekly use. As a concentrated treatment product, its longevity is proportionally greater than its small volume might suggest. Using the correct minimal amount per application is both more effective for absorption and more economical over the life of the bottle.

Is this a good gift choice within the Precious Cells range?
+

It is a distinctive and impressive gift — the biphase format is visually striking, the product has a clear story and ritual quality that makes the act of using it genuinely special, and the 15ml size is presented with the luxury that characterises the Lancôme Absolue collection. It is particularly well suited as a gift for someone who already uses the Precious Cells range and would appreciate an additional treatment dimension to their routine, or for a skincare enthusiast who values products with a unique sensory identity. It pairs beautifully with the Precious Cells Day Cream or Night Cream for a nourishing treatment gift combination.
