Soleil Daily Brightening Face Serum Oil best for Smoothing Texture + Vitamin C

can’t say enough amazing things about this oil! it has been part of my routine for 3 years now and as a pro makeup artist it’s been a staple in my kit ! It works beautifully under makeup and on its own!!

This product arrived damaged so I didn’t use it much beyond swiping a little on the back of my hand. That being said, I’m almost grateful I didn’t go right in on applying to my face. I found it strangely drying on my hand - the ‘shine’ from initial application didn’t last very long. And I personally found the smell reallyyyyy off-putting. I don’t think I could handle having it anywhere near my nose all day. I would say unless you’re super interested in these particular ingredients, you’ll probably find a face oil you like better in another face oil.

I was hesitant to buy this, mainly because I have sensitive skin that doesn’t like oils. On top of that, I’m 40, starting to show signs of aging and now dealing with hormonal acne and all of the scarring that brings. I was looking for something that would moisturize my skin and provide some brightening. In less than 2 weeks my skin has changed!! My texture is smoothing out. I had some stubborn hormonal acne around my jaw line that is finally starting to shrink. My skin truly looks brighter. And not just because the oil is on my face, I mean even after it’s washed off my skin’s tone and brightness has improved. Even my husband asked what I’m doing differently! In terms of usage, I apply a Korean toner and rice serum, moisturizer and then I put on this oil, followed by spf. With my sensitive skin I was concerned this would feel too heavy but surprisingly it doesn’t. Zero irritation and hasn’t caused any breakouts. My skin is supple and hydrated for hours. I do wait around 20 minutes after applying before doing makeup and I haven’t had any issues with my makeup separating or moving around. If you are thinking about getting this, go ahead and buy it. It does exactly what it says it will do and that doesn’t always happen with skin products.

I have the most sensitive, dry & dull skin. I live in NYC so the weather has done a number on my skin. I have tried many different oils and serums on my face just to break out and feel like my face was oily and heavy. Never moisturized. As I'm writing this i currently have the Soleil Daily brightening and texture smoothing vitamin C on. It is light, hydrating, and moisturizing. My skin immediately puckers up and brightened the minute I use this serum. I'm honestly blown away. It feels so light. I didn't break out, I can even see changes on my neck. I love the smell. Its not too strong or overwhelming. I can't believe I found something that works for my skin. I am officially a Katani girl. Take all of my money.

Love discovering new black owned brands that are making their way into the skincare realm. Katini is making waves with this light, absorbent, brightening vitamin c oil! The texture is lovely, the smell is divine and it works extremely well under makeup. I’m loving how it’s packed with vitamins that will help protect and revitalize the skin barrier.

I’ve been using the Katini Skin Soleil Daily Brightening Oil Serum as the final step in my morning routine before SPF, and I love how it seals everything in. The texture is a bit thicker than a typical serum, so it gives my skin this smooth, nourished finish without feeling heavy. It adds the perfect glow and makes my skin feel protected and cared for throughout the day.

I've been really enjoying the brightening oil serum in the morning. I love how it smells like a spa. It's been perfect for my dry skin as I got back from a tropical vacation where I got a ton of sun and salt water!

This product exceeds the hype around it. As someone who generally uses unscented items, the smell of this product alone would make me purchase again. It’s a spa in a bottle. My skins texture has improved in just days. Absolutely obsessed and will reccomend to everyone

I was gifted the Soleil Daily Brightening Serum while pregnant, and it quickly became my favorite part of my routine. Especially after giving birth, when self-care and “me time” are rare, it became the moment I looked forward to most each day. The fresh, citrusy scent and its smooth, nurturing texture feel like a mini spa in a bottle. Beyond the experience, it truly delivers. Despite all the hormonal shifts (and the fact that this is usually a challenging time for skin), the serum kept my complexion feeling plush, healthy, and vibrant. I’ve since added the Signature Body Oil and the Collagen Boosting Oil to my routine,and I’m completely hooked. The quality of the products is exceptional, both in their formulation and their design. What makes me love this product even more is the vision behind it. Katini, the founder, is an incredible entrepreneur: thoughtful, innovative, and deeply inspiring. It’s always a pleasure to support a women-led company, especially one led with such intention and excellence.

I’m on my second bottle of Soleil Daily Brightening Serum and completely hooked. Smells divine, absorbs in seconds, and the packaging looks like a little object of beauty on my bathroom shelf. I've loved the results and will keep it in my daily routine for sure.
