How to apply face oil?

Hi beauties,
I have a question for you all and hope you can help me. I have always understood that face oil should be applied last after your other skin care products. However i recently purchased the Clarins blue orchid face oil and the instructions directed me to apply it right after my toner and before the face cream.
My usual routine is 1) cleanse, 2) toner/essence, 3) serum, 4) eye cream, 5) face cream.
When should i use my face oil then?
Thanks in advance for your advice 🙂

    Oil after serum, but before moisturiser (and eye creams!)

    Thanks for the advice! I find the oil works better before face cream. It is absorbed better that way. I accidentally applied it after my moisturisor once and it didn’t absorb as well.

    I mix my face oil in with my moisturiser and apply it that way…

    I rub face oil all over my hands then pat lightly over my face, then rubbing it in. Makes sure it is distributed evenly.

    I agree with SJ, that’s how I always do it! From thinnest consistency to thickest. Serum first, oil then moisturiser and spf over top.

    I mix mine in with my moisturiser; but otherwise apply it before moisturiser & after serum.

    Yes I agree, I always put my oil before my moitsuriser, but I wait until the oil has set into my skin.

    I applied after face cream but actually when to apply is the best for it to fully absorb to our skin?

    I put my facial oil on first too after toning or after serum but always before moisturiser.

    I also apply my facial oil after the toner but before my moisturiser.
