I was really happy to get this in a Beauty Box. I think this rosehip oil is one of the best ones I've tried because it not only brightened my skin after about a week of using it but it's also really lightweight and lightweight enough that you could wear it during the day unless it's really hot and your skin type is oily. This rosehip oil is a blend of macadamia oil, ascobyl tetraisopalmitate (a form of oil soluble vitamin C) and rosemary extract. Scent wise it just smells like oil, not the best but it's better than some rosehip oil that reminded me a bit of those fish oil capsules I would take.
Now since last year I have been into using a vitamin C serum or moisturizer under my spf moisturizer and my skin gets much brighter when I use one. I had run out of my vitamin C serum and had been out for a while, so my skin got a bit duller and not as bright as it was before. So I used this once a day at least, sometimes I used this in the evening and after a week my skin was brighter again. Now this didn't lighten my sunspots like my high strength vitamin c suspension from the Ordinary, but my skin tone looked brighter overall.
The only cons for this product is that when some got around my eyes, my eyes would sting which I've never had that problem with any other rosehip oil I've used in the past. The other con is I can't find a site that sells it within New Zealand, because otherwise I would definitely repurchase this.
This is another great product that I tried because of BR. I've got the occasional hyperpigmentation from pimples adnd in generally my skintone isn't very even. Now this isn't the biggest of my concerns but I've long heard the wonders of rosehip oil and vitC in brightening hyperpigmentation, so I figured this wouldn't hurt to give it a shot!
This comes in a standard dropper bottle, which makes dispensing the oil easy and mess free. I use this at night in the colder months when I feel like my skin dries out a bit more. Usually two drops is enough for my whole face and neck, because I don't like feeling overly greasy. This is relatively light weight but I can definitely still feel (and see) the sheen of oil about 10 minutes later. It feels very relaxing to rub this in, and I almost use it like a massage oil for my face. I have noticed my acne spots fading a little faster when using it, and I don't know if it's placebo but I feel like my skin is more glowing!
My biggest complaint (which seems shared by many other ladies) is its weird smell. It's not pungent enough to stop me using it, but it's definitely one of the smellier oils I've tried. I suppose the silver lining is that they didn't add an artificial fragrance and kept this natural.
Overally a good product that slowly but surely helps my skin look clearer. It comes in a really big bottle too so I think it's great value for its price. Would repurchase!
