What Is Yarrow Pom Face Oil Used For?

By the VitalResin Team — Skincare & doTERRA enthusiasts

You know that moment when your skin feels a bit tired, a little dull, and nothing in your routine seems to bring back that fresh, dewy look? That is exactly the moment many women reach for a botanical face oil. And one of the most intriguing options in the doTERRA line is Yarrow Pom.

In our experience, Yarrow Pom face oil is used primarily as a luxurious, plant-based moisturizing step that helps skin look radiant, soft, and hydrated. It blends cold-pressed pomegranate seed oil with yarrow essential oil in a silky texture that feels indulgent without being heavy. Most people use it as the final step of a morning or evening skincare ritual, pressing a few drops gently over the face and neck. The result we hear described most often is a dewy, glowing appearance and a smoother, more supple feel, not a quick fix but a lovely daily self-care moment. In this guide, we explore exactly what this facial oil is, how it fits into a routine, and what to know before using it.

What Makes Yarrow Pom Different

Yarrow Pom stands out from a typical single-note facial oil because it combines two botanical ingredients in one elegant formula. The base is pomegranate seed oil, which has a naturally rich, cushiony texture. Pomegranate oil is loved in cosmetic circles for its ability to leave skin feeling deeply nourished and looking softly luminous.

The second part is yarrow essential oil, a botanical with a long history of traditional use in herbal self-care. doTERRA describes yarrow as a calming, grounding oil, and in this blend it adds a subtle, earthy freshness that makes the whole experience feel more like a spa ritual than a basic moisturizer.

What we appreciate most is how versatile it is. Unlike Immortelle, which is specifically positioned for the look of aging skin, Yarrow Pom is more of an everyday glow booster. And compared with pure Frankincense, which many users dilute themselves, Yarrow Pom arrives ready to apply, already blended into a friendly face-oil texture.

Here is a quick comparison of how Yarrow Pom sits next to other doTERRA complexion favorites:

Product	Main Use	Texture	Best For
Yarrow Pom	Everyday glow and hydration	Silky oil	A radiant, dewy finish
Immortelle	Softening the look of fine lines	Rich blend	Mature-looking skin
Frankincense Touch	Targeted radiance	Roll-on, diluted	Convenient on-the-go touch-ups
HD Clear	Clearer-looking complexion	Light blend	Blemish-prone skin appearance

How to Use Yarrow Pom in Your Routine

The beauty of Yarrow Pom is that it slips into almost any skincare ritual without disrupting it. Here is the step-by-step order we suggest most often:

1. Cleanse gently with a mild cleanser, like the Veráge Cleanser, to remove makeup and daily buildup.
2. Tone lightly to help skin feel refreshed and prepped.
3. Apply any water-based serums while skin is still slightly damp.
4. Press two or three drops of Yarrow Pom into your palms, then massage gently over the face and neck using upward motions.
5. Finish with sunscreen in the morning, since facial oils do not replace sun protection.

For an extra spa-like moment, we sometimes blend one drop of Yarrow Pom with a little Lavender Touch on the fingertips and take a few slow breaths before applying. It turns a functional step into a calming ritual.

What to Know Before You Start

First, always do a patch test before using Yarrow Pom on your face for the first time. Apply a tiny amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to see how your skin responds. This is a standard precaution with any botanical product, even gentle ones.

Second, be mindful that Yarrow Pom does not contain citrus oils, so photosensitivity is not a concern in the same way it is with Bergamot or Lemon. Still, daytime sun protection remains essential for overall skin health and appearance.

Third, a little goes a long way. Two or three drops are generally enough for the entire face. Using more can leave a heavy feel, especially if your skin leans oily.

FAQ

Can Yarrow Pom be used every day? Yes. Many people use it morning and evening as their final moisturizing step. If your skin feels well-hydrated, you might prefer evening only.

Does Yarrow Pom clog pores? In our experience, it feels lightweight and absorbs well. However, every skin type is different, so it is wise to start slowly and observe how your complexion responds.

Is Yarrow Pom better than pure frankincense oil? They serve different purposes. Yarrow Pom is a ready-to-use face oil for everyday glow, while frankincense is a single oil that requires dilution and is often used for the look of aging skin.

Can I layer Yarrow Pom under makeup? Yes, provided you give it a minute or two to absorb. A thinner application tends to work best under foundation or tinted moisturizer.

Conclusion

Yarrow Pom is a graceful addition to a botanical skincare ritual. It brings a dewy, soft-looking finish with a texture that feels like a genuine treat. Whether used alone or layered with other doTERRA favorites, it earns its place as a simple daily glow step.
