Rosehip Seed Oil is a really great product. Using it consistently or using products which have this as a main ingrediant are great for improving the skins lipid barrier function. This is quite often damaged by over use of harsh products and results in skin becoming dried out and more lined in my experiance. If you have over done it on the acids or just want to protect your skin I think rose hip seed oil is ideal. |

According to my resources Rosehip oil is enriched with vitamin E and is extremely high in essential fatty acids and is known to help treat dry, irritated, weathered skin. suitable for treating burns, scars and stretch marks. There are some concerns that it can aggravate acne conditions.
It promotes healthy skin and, can be used to treat burns, sunburns, wrinkles, stretch marks and eczema.Rosehip is considered a “drying oil” which means that it is quickly absorbed by the skin and does not leave an oily feel.
In high concentrations, Rosehip Oil may aggravate acne.

Just FYI, rose hip oil oxidizes fast. Use it asap. |

Hi zverenok
Could you just clarify your comments please? Mainly the last couple. I wanted to try rose hip oil as i'd heard it's pretty good for wrinkles and anti-aging but i've also read that it doesn't go with well acne. Did you mean to say that, if you mix it with another base oil instead of using it by itself, it won't aggravate acne? if so, that's great and i had planned to use it with jojoba anyway as a base for a night moisturing oil.
Thanks |

Hi,
I believe that if you already have acne, you may want to go for another oil. However if you don't want to aggravate acne, than using it wisely in small percentages of the general oil it's a marvelous oil. The generic guideline say up to 10% of rosehip in a mix is good.
Also, rosehip oil is slow to go rancid - you can expect a shelf life from 6mths up to 1 year. Refrigeration after opening is recommended. |

agreed with you. for oily skin, rosehip oil maybe too rich.instead, use grapeseed oil which is very light perfect for oily skin |

Thanks for your opinions guys
The reason i wanted to try roshehip was because i'd heard it was anti-aging, anti-wrinkling - even though i can suffer from acne, i'm 36 and still need to think of lines and wrinkles too! Grrrrrrr
Can anybody recommend something else suitable for anti-aging? i had planned to mix it with jojoba as a night-time moisturiser, then research some essential oils to add in to help with anti-aging and wrinkles
TIA |

These are two oils I mix with Rosehip for night application:
Carrot Seed Oil - This oil is a true powerhouse in the anti-aging category! Carrot Seed oil is rich in Vitamins A, B, C, D and E. Vitamins A, C and E all are anti-oxidants that reduce free radicals (from sun damage, environmental toxins) associated with premature aging. Vitamin C also plays a role in stabilizing collagen to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Both Vitamins E and B improve moisture for increased elasticity and smoothness. With these rich properties, Carrot Seed oil stimulates cell growth, moisturizes, tones and increases the skins elasticity. Carrot Seed oil also is used in hair care as it conditions hair and stimulates growth.
Pomegranate Oil - From a nutrition standpoint, the virtues of the pomegranate fruit have recently been pushed into the limelight. Pomegranate oil is high in linoleic acids and high in anti-oxidants. It is moisturizing and anti-aging. This oil stimulates cell regeneration, increases elasticity and decreases wrinkles. Pomegranate oil is a savior for mature, irritated, and dry, cracked skin!

Good to google to get other opinions.
Re the carrot oil - this is tricky, there is Carrot Oil, Carrot Seed Oil and Carrot (Seed) Essential Oil. I opted to go with the Carrot Seed Oil from GOW. |

Rose Hip Oil is one of the LEAST moisturizing of all the oils. I was surprised to learn this, (from Kassy) but actually I experienced it first and found this to be true. |
