As a beauty editor, ‘hoarder’ is my middle name. I’m spoiled for choice and have the attention span of a gnat, a combination that leads to an overfilled beauty drawer that could cave at any minute.
That’s why the sans [ceuticals] Activator 7 Body + Hair + Face Oil piqued my interest—it promises to fill six steps in your routine.
Visually and practically, the product’s a treat—it’s simple and chic with a pump applicator for ease. The scent is clean and fresh, though the consistency struck me most—it’s an oil, yes, but it’s not oily. It feels instantly hydrating on the skin but doesn’t leave a greasy feel, just a glossy sheen.
I was able to test all six of the oil’s uses in a twenty minute stretch. Quite impressive considering that meant an everything shower with skincare and haircare applied afterward. My first steps were makeup removal and a full leg shave.

The oil melted a full face of foundation pretty rapidly, with the oil also allowing for a close, hydrating shave. After both, I felt like I’d already moisturised (the pro of cleansing/shaving with a hydrating product), but I figured I’d double down post-rinse.
I applied all over as a body oil whilst skin was damp. I have zero tolerance for stickiness, but it went on smooth without any tacky finish. There’s definitely a type of ‘film’ left on the skin (to lock in the moisture) but you can still dress practically immediately.

Next I applied a few drops and pressed into my face before massaging a few drops into my lips. This step was my personal favourite as it gave me a chance to really revel in the scent—it’s earthy but premium and makes for a luxurious ritual. Lastly, I took the leftover product through the ends of my hair for added hydration—applying oil to clean hair feels counter-intuitive, but the finish was glossy, not greasy.
I’m a big fan of the formula after just a week—it allows me to avoid excessive steps and makes sure hydration is the basis of every single one. Just like the product promised, my skin looks glossier, my hair feels smoother, and my routine is speedier. With my other potions put away, it’s also the first time I’ve seen a near bare bathroom counter in months—my first multipurpose triumph has resulted in a new appreciation for minimalism.
