Beekman 1802 Oh! Mega Milk Facial Oil Review: The Best Facial Oil for Dry Winter Skin

If you struggle with dry, red, irritated skin in the winter, you know how hard it is to find a product that actually works.

And this winter? My skin has been worse than ever.

Normally, I have a curated winter skincare routine that keeps everything in check, but this year, nothing was working. My face felt extra dry, tight, and red—but not my usual redness. My skin is fair, sensitive, and shows any discomfort immediately.

The air in our house is super dry, and thanks to our messed-up heating system, one side of the house is too warm, while the other is freezing. No matter how much moisture I layered on, my skin just kept feeling parched and uncomfortable.

Then, as if my For You Page knows me personally, a dermatologist popped up on my TikTok feed, talking about Beekman 1802 Oh! Mega Milk Facial Oil and why it’s a game-changer for winter skin. I was skeptical (because, let’s be honest, TikTok skincare recommendations are hit or miss), but I ordered it on the spot. And I’m so glad I did.

First Impressions: A Small but Mighty Hydrator

One thing to note right away—the jar is small. I ordered the 0.5 oz size ($28), but there’s also a 1 oz option ($54). I actually love that they offer a smaller size—it’s perfect if you want to test it out before committing to the full bottle.

To apply, I use the dropper directly on my face, letting the serum hit my forehead, cheeks, and chin before gently pressing it in.

The texture is slightly tacky at first, which gave me pause. But within seconds, it fully absorbs, leaving my skin soft, hydrated, and refreshed. It’s not greasy or heavy—just deeply nourishing and protective, exactly what my winter skin needed.

I used it for the first time at night, right before applying my moisturizer, and I knew it was going to work the second I put it on—my skin drank it in.

And when I woke up? Hand to God, my skin wasn’t red or irritated at all. It looked calm, smooth, and actually hydrated, something I hadn’t experienced so far this winter.

Why Beekman 1802 Skincare is Perfect for Sensitive Skin

If you’re not familiar with Beekman 1802, here’s why it stands out:

  • The brand was founded by Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell after they moved to a historic goat farm in Sharon Springs, New York. You might remember their reality show – I LOVED it.
  • They discovered the soothing and hydrating benefits of goat milk, which is now their signature ingredient.
  • Their entire skincare line is formulated to be gentle, effective, and safe for sensitive skin—no harsh irritants or unnecessary fillers.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

This facial oil is packed with nourishing ingredients that work together to hydrate, soothe, and protect dry skin. Here’s what makes it so effective:

1. Goat Milk 🐐💧

  • Rich in vitamins A, D, and lactic acid, goat milk is known for its soothing and hydrating properties.
  • Helps calm irritation and redness, making it perfect for sensitive and dry skin.

2. Squalane 🌱✨

  • A plant-derived oil that mimics the skin’s natural moisture.
  • Provides deep hydration without feeling heavy.
  • Helps repair the skin barrier, preventing water loss.

3. Sweet Almond Oil 🌰💖

  • Packed with vitamin E, which nourishes and protects the skin from environmental stressors.
  • Helps improve skin texture and elasticity.

4. Jojoba Oil 🌿💆‍♀️

  • Closely mimics your skin’s natural sebum, making it highly compatible with all skin types.

Together, these ingredients create a powerful yet gentle formula that instantly relieves dry, flaky skin while restoring a healthy glow.

How to Use Beekman 1802 Oh! Mega Milk Facial Oil in Your Routine

One of the best things about this facial oil is its versatility. You can use it morning and night, depending on what your skin needs.

In the Morning (AM Routine) ☀️

✔ After cleansing, apply your serums if needed. I’ll put on Vitamin C.
✔ Use 2–3 drops of Oh! Mega Milk Facial Oil, pressing it gently into the skin. Let sit for a minute.
✔ Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen.
✔ If you wear makeup, this oil layers beautifully underneath—it adds a subtle glow without making foundation slide off.

At Night (PM Routine) 🌙

✔ Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
✔ Apply your usual serums (hyaluronic acid, peptides, etc.).
✔ Use 3–4 drops of Oh! Mega Milk Facial Oil, pressing it into the skin.
✔ Follow with your favorite moisturizer or overnight mask for extra hydration.

Bonus Tip: If my skin is extra dry, I mix a few drops into my moisturizer for an added boost of nourishment!

Final Thoughts: Is This the Best Facial Oil for Winter Skin?

After using Beekman 1802 Oh! Mega Milk Facial Oil, I can confidently say it’s one of the best hydrating facial oils for dry, sensitive skin. It delivers immediate hydration, reduces redness, and helps strengthen the skin barrier—all without feeling greasy.

If your skin is struggling this winter, this product is 100% worth trying. I’m officially obsessed.

Is it safe for eyelids? My eyelids are dry and scaly and itch so much.

I'm not sure what the brand would say but I have slathered this all over my face including on and around my eyes and have not had a problem.

I exclusively use Beekman goat milk body cream as my body moisturizer. I use the soap to wash in the shower and it doesn’t dry my skin out at all. I even use their laundry detergent, I guess you could say I’m obsessed too!

I feel like I'm late to the game with Beekman but I just ordered the Whipped Body Cream to try.

Hi there old friend!

Love your content. Interested for your POV on how to integrate with Vintners Daughter- which is amazing, but not cutting it this winter for dry skin. Xo

Layer Vintners first so all the nutrients get into your skin, then add the Beekman as your final step before moisturizer and sunscreen. They work well together! xx
