PRODUCT REVIEW: ROSEHIP PLUS DAY AND NIGHT CREAM

Many months ago I tried the Rosehip Oil (review here) and Rosehip Oil Roll-On from Rosehip Plus (review here), and have really enjoyed using the products, so when I was asked if I wanted to trial the newly launched *Rosehip Plus Day and Night Creams as well, I happily accepted. Here are my thoughts; 

What They Say:

RosehipPLUS Hydrating Day Cream and RosehipPLUS Nourishing Night Cream is a 100% pure and natural Australian Certified Organic skincare product. Containing extract of the seeds of the Rosehip fruit (Rosa Canina), it supports and encourages a healthier looking skin.

RRP: Day Cream (75ml): $19.95, Night Cream (50ml): $29.95 – Available from select pharmacies 


What I Say:

What I really like about the RosehipPLUS range of products is that the products are Australian Certified Organic and they are cruelty free. And of course, very importantly, they are made without nasty chemicals including no parabens, no sulphates and no artificial colours, no preservatives and no petro chemicals.

The Day and Night Cream both contain RosehipPLUS Rosehip Oil, while the day cream also contains Chamomile, Avocado Oil and Rose Geranium, and the night cream contains Cocoa Seed Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil and Shea Butter, making it extra moisturising. They are both made from 95% organic ingredients.


Thanks to being rich in naturally occurring Vitamins A, C, E plus Omega 3, 6 & 9, the products claim to help keep the skin hydrated and soft, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while improving the appearance of dry skin and promoting skin elasticity and texture. And of course, the mere inclusion of the Rosehip Oil also means that the products help repair sun damage, reduce skin pigmentation, and reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Now I have combination skin prone to breakout, and especially when I use skincare products that are too heavy and rich, so I was a little concerned using the RosehipPLUS products. But as with the pure RosehipPLUS oil, I didn’t need to worry, as my skin has been grateful for the extra moisture, and without making it break out of feel congested.

The Day Cream comes in a large 75ml tube and has a typical consistency for a day cream. It absorbs fairly quickly so you can get on with applying your makeup.

The Night Cream on the other hand comes in a pump bottle containing 50ml –and I so love pump bottles and which the Day Cream also came in one. It is simply so much easier and more convenient!


Most Night Creams are usually quite thick and heavy, but that is not the case with the RosehipPLUS Night Cream, as it more or less has the same light consistency as the Day Cream, which also means that it absorbs quickly into the skin.

Also often with Night Creams I wake the next morning and my skin is feeling greasy, but that is also not the case with this cream.


So how have they performed after using the products for about a month? Well again, the products have not made my skin feel congested or make it break out, which is a major plus for me.

I am not sure if my very old acne scars or the large clusters of pigmentation have changed significantly in appearance, but I can tell that my skin feels deeply quenched and moisturised, and consequently fine lines do appear to have been plumbed out. And my skin not only feels soft and smooth to touch, it also has a nice healthy glow.

And best of all is that the products are very concentrated so I haven’t even used half of them, so they are exceptional value too!

So if you too are keen on using ‘cleaner’ products free from all the chemical nasties, then this Day and Night Cream from RosehipPLUS are good contenders. I can easily see myself repurchasing again, and I hope that they soon will extend their product range to also include other products such as lip balms, hand and body creams!

Product Review: Rose-Hip Plus Rosehip Oil Skin Boost Roll-On

As many of you know, I have been swearing by Rosehip Oil while I’ve been pregnant, as many of the other serums that I used previously simply contained ingredients no suitable for use while pregnant. And so I fell in love with Rosehip Oil, and it has done wonders to my skin and has now become a stable in my bathroom cabinet. Here are my thoughts on the *Rosehip Oil Skin Boost Roll On from Rose-Hip Plus;

What They Say:

"Rosehip Vital Rosehip Oil is a 100% pure and natural Certified Organic skincare product, cold pressed from the seeds of the Rosehip (Rosa Canina) that helps to support healthy-looking skin for use on the face and body."

RRP: $14.95 (15ml) - Available from select pharmacies

What I Say:
I have previously reviewed the standard Rosehip Oil from Rosehip Vital, which you can see here. Since then, the brand has changed is name to Rosehip Plus.

Usually Rosehip Oils come in dark glass dropper bottles, but as this one is different as it comes in a white plastic squeezy tube with a roller-ball.

The actual Rosehip Oil is the same as what I have previously reviewed; the oil is cold pressed, which basically that means that the oil is extracted without heat (or solvents or chemicals, for that matter!). This helps keep all the beneficial ingredients in the end product so they aren’t lost in the manufacturing process, making the oil a lot more beneficial! The super fine filtering processes means the final product is said to be one of the finest quality Rose-Hip oils you can find!
It is made from 100% Australian Certified Organic, and is free from pesticides, artificial fertilisers or synthetic chemicals, as well as it is free from preservatives, colours and added fragrances. It is simply 100% pure and natural.

Rosehip oil is suitable to use both morning and night. However, on my combination skin it is more than sufficient to just at night time, as during the day it feels a little too greasy. Still, I can use the Rosehip Oil without my skin getting too oily and congested and it breaking out.

Rosehip Oil contains naturally occurring Bioflavonoids which are vitamin-like substances which act as potent anti-oxidants, helping to reduce free radical damage in the skin. The Rose-Hip Vital Rosehip Oil is rich in naturally-occurring vitamins (Anti-Ageing Vitamins A and C; Anti-inflammatory Vitamin E), antioxidants (Lycopene & Beta-Carotene) and essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6 & 9), to keep the skin hydrated and moisturised.

Rosehip Oil can help with:

Reduce appearance of stretchmarks and scars

Maintain skin hydration

Improve the appearance of dry skin

Diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Promote skin elasticity and texture

Repair sun damage and skin tissue

Reduce pigmentation

Using the Rosehip Oil, keeps my skin feeling extremely soft and hydrated, as well as it looks clearer, and skin tone is more even. My skin has never been clearer. I've had no breakouts major since using the Rose-Hip Vital Rosehip Oil, and actually, it is almost like the oil production in my skin has normalised and it is no longer as greasy

I have also tried using the rosehip oil on my scars, but as these are very old surgery scars, I am yet to notice any major improvements, which I am not sure I will either seeing they are several years old.

The Rosehip Oil has a very natural scent, which I however do not mind, and which fades quickly after the oil has been absorbed into the skin.

 

 

So where in all, where this Rosehip Oil differs is with the new packaging. And compared to the glass dropper bottles it is so much easier to control the amount of oil it dispenses. And due to the roller ball, it is also so easy to apply to the face, easily gliding over the face without the need to push or pull, giving your face a nice gentle and cooling massage at the same time.

And if you are going away on holidays, this is so much easier to bring along, no longer any need to worry about the glass bottle breaking in your toilet bag. I so wish I had had this at hand when I was just at the hospital a few weeks ago giving birth (my skin got so dry while I was there that it would have been a great help too!)

The Rosehip Oil is very concentrated, and you only need a few drops for the full face, so even this 15ml tube will last you a long time. At $14.95 for 15ml, this is a more expensive than buying the rosehip oil in the regular bottle, but considering how easy it is to use, and that you are likely to use less (and not waste any either), it is still an absolute bargain product.
