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."
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.

What do you think of the Rose-Hip Vital Oil? Have
you tried Rose-Hip oil before? And if so, what did you think? And what do you
think of this new Roll-on tube?
