Rosehip Seed Oil for Face, Hair and Skin 1oz, Pure Rose Hip Oil (Works as a Carrier and Facial Oil)

My skin is highly sensitive and I've suffered from cystic acne for about 10 years now. I'm a female (using hubbys account) and I can't even wear makeup on my face for an hour without it causing some kind of reaction to my skin and breaking out. I've taken all sorts of medications (doxycycline, tetracycline, hormonal birth control, etc) as well as topical creams for acne. It got to the point that I was preparing to start a round of Accutane. I realized the negative affects the medication had on my health and opted instead to start taking birth control to help. That worked for about two years and then my acne suddenly began to get worse, so I got off birth control to try and see if my skin would bounce back. It did somewhat, but my skin seemed to be at the point of no return. My was a scarred and acne ridden. I had all these tiny bumps and then so many large cysts that it actually to do things like talk on my phone or lay on my pillow. Finally, at the advice of my mother, I decided to start using natural products and this is where I started. At first I didn't see anything. My skin is combination oily but lately it was so dry I had big patches of skin that would flake off, this product didn't give my skin as much moisture as I thought it would the first day. The second and third day I didn't see too much improvement and I was thinking that maybe I'd wasted my money, but I kept using it anyway because I knew that I didn't really have anything to lose and I'm so glad I did! Honestly, this is one of the best things I've ever purchased. It did take me a week and a half to see results but my skin now is almost completely clear! It's brought up cysts I've had for months to the surface of my skin and is clearing them up. I've been using this for about three weeks now religiously and I'm so happy to say I've only got five zits now and only two are still cysts. The cysts actually have been shrinking better with just using the rosehip oil than with any spot treatment, mask, or cleanser I've ever used before! I actually don't mind walking out of my house without makeup on anymore and my skin has become so supple and soft without looking or feeling oily. Sometimes when I wake up, my skin looks so beautiful I skin washing it and just apply the oil. My skin, for the first time in my life, is something I look at in the mirror and think, "Wow, my skin looks so good today!" I use this for everything, I use it 2-5 times on my face daily, I mix it into my lotions, I use two drops to smooth frizz and flyaway, and I apply it under a primer when wearing makeup and mix a drop into my concealer (my skins so clear I don't even need foundation anymore). Honestly, if you're hesitating to purchase this, start with the small sample. I wasn't paid or sent this item but I do want to make it clear: just because this helped my skin doesn't necessarily mean it will help yours. But, even if you find you can't use it for your face, this works amazing added to lotion, as a lip oil, mixed into other oils for a hair treatment, and as a hair oil for fixing frizz and flyaways and reliving dandruff. I even use a few drops of this in a spray bottle with some water as something I spray on my cats after I give them baths to help their skin from being dry during cold weather. It really is a very good investment, even if you can't use it exactly as I did I promise you that you will find a use for it! :)

For how much I rely on the reviews of other Amazon buyers, it's kind of crazy that I've never actually written one for any product. (And I'm an efficiency-obsessed comparison shopper who consolidates as many things as possible into Amazon shipments, down to and including toothpaste, because I hate running errands- soooo basically *everything* in my life showed up on my doorstep in a brown Amazon box.) What I'm saying is- this product is special. Skincare is my major hobby - I love reading clinical journals for ingredient testing, I love researching different formulations, I love split-testing things on different sides of my face to discern what works best for me. I've done Curology, I've been into k-beauty for years, and I've spent a ton of money on fancy French pharmacy brands (Darphin, Nuxe) trying to achieve and maintain a glowing healthy complexion. However, a few months ago I changed birth control to an IUD (Mirena) and for a couple of weeks my skin was fine but then it was just..... a wreck. Not just in the usual hormonal places along the jawline and chin, but also like, down my neck and chest all the way up to my forehead - breakouts that I couldn't get a handle on. I tried all my usual reliable methods and nothing made more than the slightest difference. I remembered reading about oils with high linoleic acid content being good for acne prone skin and I thought I had nothing to lose, so I researched and compared many brands (on Amazon) and dithered and waffled and finally decided there's no way to know without trying, so I pulled the trigger. I chose Teddie Organics because their oil was cold pressed, organic, had good reviews and was a reasonable price. The day it showed up, I oil cleansed with it (using a microfiber cloth to wash clean) in the evening and then put a few drops all over my face as a moisturizer. In the morning my skin was just..... smoother. The clogged pores under my skin were smaller. Acne spots were healing. I've been using this as an oil cleanser and moisturizer for about a week now and it just keeps de-gunkifying my pores and healing everything. I feel kind of ridiculous that it's this simple. I'm not doing a 7-step Korean routine anymore, I'm not doing my usual chemical exfoliation to keep my breakouts at bay, it's just this right now. I'm aiming to get back to a 'base zero' level before I add any more products back into my routine - probably a light moisturizer over the oil as I'm noticing just a bit of dryness right now, though the winter weather is likely a contributing factor there. Anyway, what I'm saying is - if you've read this far, just try it, you have very little to lose. I'm already planning on when I'm going to order the 4 oz bottle and start using this over pretty much my whole body. Thanks for reading. :)

Great product! I have bad rosacea and now in my 50’s this compounded by dry skin, especially now that winter is setting in in the NE and the dry heat is on. I used an oil moisturizer a decade ago, purchased from a Japanese firm, which was olive oil based. Superb product, as most of their products were, but just too expensive. Fast forward to the last year, and I’ve tried several drug store brands that were ok, but not cutting it with the patches of really dry skin, and after 10 hours my face felt tight as a drum. I also started using a drug store brand of face soap, which was just terrible. Two months ago my rosacea flared terribly - the worst I’ve ever had. Bright cherry red sores on one cheek forced me to reevaluate my skin care regimen. I ditched the awful face soap, and started with Neutrogena’s glycerin bar. Improvement, but it really strips the oil off as well. The “ultra-hydrating” this product, as well as others I tried, did nothing. Went to Sephora and tried at least 5 face creams, nothing worked. But I did grab an Argan oil sampler. I ditched the face creams and washes (one supposedly best cleaner made my face turn bright red and my skin actually was painful. That product was returned.) I started with the Argan oil, which was helping, but not giving me the smoothness and didn’t quite fix the dryness. In desperation I turned to Amazon and researched face oils. My Japanese brand was there, and so tempting, but the price! $32 for less than an ounce. Too much for me. So I looked around and spotted this Rosehip Oil. Greater quantity and less than half the cost was a no brained, but would it work? The other reviews were mostly positive so I bought. I waited for 2 weeks before reviewing it, just to see the effects, good or bad. After the 5th day, my face had calmed down considerably. The redness had diminished and the dry patches were smoothing out. But the real change was noticed about 10 days after I started using it. For the first time in years my redness had calmed down to the point I actually went out shopping with no makeup on. Though I do still use liquid foundation (to hide the broken capillaries) I have literally taken 10 years off my face. I’ve had compliments on my “new” look, your hair? No just a moisturizer that calms the flares and smoothes my skin. The product does have a woody, nutty scent, which I like very much. Since rosehips are full of vitamin C and other nutrients it is great for calming skin down. Sorry this was so long, but I find authentic reviews help other buyers make their decision. I know I won’t be changing my skin care routine ever again!

**Update after using ~3 months** While I love this oil and what it's done for my face, I'm realizing that applying it twice daily is affecting my scalp. Although I'm just putting it on my face, my fine hair has gotten very oily. I will stop using it for a few weeks to see if my hair and scalp improve --- this will likely only affect those with fine hair or already prone to oiliness. Also, my hair is blonde so it's especially noticeable. I won't claim that this oil works miracles --- but it is quite amazing. I'm in my late 30's and have used face lotions for years. The switch to oil feels very natural and makes sense for many reasons -- I'm just frustrated I didn't think of it sooner. Timing was good too since I live in the Northeast and it seems to work well in the dry winter air. I do a lot of outdoor activities and if it's super cold you need your natural oils to protect the skin. I don't worry as much about washing my face (and stripping natural oils with cleanser) a few hours before going out in the frigid air with this restorative oil. In terms of results, my skin seems to glow more and though I don't believe I've reduced any fine lines yet, the overall effect is very flattering. It's nice not to have to worry about globs of lotions either. I will use this oil on my cuticles and other parts of the body if needed but so far I've only applied it on my face. As guidelines suggest, you should only need 6 drops, depending on how big the drops you dispense are. Make sure your face is dry so that it absorbs properly and let it sit at least 5 minutes before applying makeup. Though I only wear eye makeup, so if I'm in a rush I can apply almost immediately and it works fine. 4 stars because of the oily scalp, also packaging that could use some improvement as others have suggested. I'd be in favor of a more user-friendly, portable design and a better pipette. My husband broke the glass when he was cleaning so I needed to order a new jar.

I had pretty perfect skin and in Oct 2016 got a facial. It was too aggressive and traumatized my skin causing an immune type reaction. I saw an M.D. and other experts and the option presented was laser to zap the capillaries so they would stop being reactive. Teddie's was fantastic about answering questions, was so helpful and kind. In speaking with them, I'm postponing my laser. In the past, I've tried aloe, jojoba, vitamin E, coconut oil and emu. Here is the skin plan going forward: 1) rinse face with filtered water and a few grains of pink Nepalese salt (or I might use Dead Sea crystals), 2) spritz face with Teddie's rose water (it smells good but not too strong - just right.), 3) Apply two drops of Teddie Rose Hip oil as the rose water is supposed to help the absorption. I'm on day two of this and my skin looks and feels good! The red capillary irritation might take a while to recede but this regiment isn't making it worse. I can usually tell right away if something bothers my skin or is okay and this is okay. Don't: I got the oil a week ago and was so excited that I must have used 20 drops twice a day. That isn't good. The customer service person suggested I start at 1-3 drops, so I've dialed down my usage. If you email them they are very knowledgeable and helpful. Bonus: I was using this to help sooth skin but I'm pretty sure it's actually making all my skin firmer and tighter. My skin, after 1 week of the oil only and 2 days of salt water, rose water and oil, looks very healthy and smooth. Hard to explain but it has an understated glow. My original plan was to use this only as a band aid to fix my skin...but I think this is what I will continue to use on my skin going forward. Why? I have not used products on my skin much at all. My eyes don't like scented things, creams and serums always felt weird on my skin and most of them seemed to make things worse. So, I would occasionally throw some water on my face. That's it. If you want to do something but don't like much out there, consider trying this product. I'm only applying once a day but if my skin feels this much better and different in a good way, and the products are pleasant and absorb well, not irritating and oily, it's kind of nice to have this little natural beauty routine. It takes about 60 seconds to do all three. I don't wear make up either so my skin is looking really good without make up. The rose hip oil barely has a scent. I put two drops in my palms and rub then pat on my face. The rose oil smells exactly like if you smelled a nice smelling rose. I started with the 1 oz Rose Hip oil and 2 oz Rose water since I wasn't sure yet. Going forward, I will buy the larger containers. I'm also going to try the routine on my hands and forearms. If I were just to use on my face, the Rose Hip 1 oz might last 4-8 weeks. It will go faster since it's going to be used for arms and legs as well. What more can one ask for than great products that are what they say they are and customer service that answers all questions big and small and goes above and beyond to make sure you are content and your skin looks beautiful?

I ordered this on Saturday night and received it by Monday afternoon, so as far as shipping goes, this company did great. I was emailed about what I should do in case I have a problem with the condition my bottle arrived in, but everything was perfect. The smell of the oil is almost like sesame seed oil, but once you work it into your skin, you don't smell anything. It's not even a strong smell, I personally don't mind it. And part of the reason I bought it too, as silly as it may sound, was in part due to the packaging. It is so simple and nice- it is straight to the point and I love it. The dropper tends to allow more drops than you plan to use, but that's not an issue either, I just spend an extra minute massaging the oil into my skin. The product itself is wonderful. I'm allergic to most everything you can imagine, so I was scared to try this. But I have been happier with what is happening to my skin than I could imagine. I don't have bad skin to begin with, my skin is neither oily or dry because I have balanced it out over time with coconut oil. I don't usually break out with the exception of a pimple here and there, and blackheads I notice too much in the mirror and start bugging me, but for the most part, my skin is nice. I've had it now three days and I'm in love. In the morning, I use it alone (I store mine in the fridge, so it wakes my skin up in the morning) and it leaves my skin feeling light, clean, and fresh. At night, I massage this into my face and neck and use a tiny amount of coconut oil (which was previously my go-to oil, and still swear by it) and I wake up with beautiful, glowing skin. I get compliments on my skin all the time, and with this, they've gone up. People have been asking what brand of foundation I use, and I wear makeup twice a week, weekends only. It's also helped with scars a lot more quickly than I thought possible. I am absolutely in love with this products, and it helps that this company has GREAT customer service. I'm waiting to try the rose water in a few weeks, but until then, this is my little miracle in a bottle. I'll definitely be ordering this when I start running low.

ETA: I'm changing my review to 5 stars. It really works for me. I'm very surprised. There are so many things I love about. First--convenience--you can put it anywhere. It's fine under eyes. You can basically just drop it on the back of your hand...dip a finger and then smooth it everywhere. Second--it works under makeup. It makes the makeup smoother and it holds onto the skin better. Third--it does not make my skin greasy! Yet, it is oil. It somehow absorbs in the skin. Fourth--it does seem to improve the texture of my skin. I see *very* small improvements on some scars. I still use eye cream and night cream sometimes. But I'm not even sure I need to! If it keeps working, I'm going to try and *be strong* and not buy any more products...It works as well as anything I've ever tried except an insanely expensive Chanel serum which I simply can't afford these days. I'm going to experiment with trying *only this* for two weeks and see if this is the thing that is making my skin so smooth. One interesting side-effect appears to be reduction in redness and puffiness. I don't see any improvement in volume. I'm not seeing the same effects I get with retinoids--so it's not plumping the skin...as far as I can tell...but it's early yet. I'd love to know what ingredient is doing the work here. Maybe it's just oil? Maybe all you need is oil? Or perhaps the vitamin c? I'm such a huge fan of high tech products. I especially love peptides for my eyes and glycolic to smooth skin. This seems to work as well as peptides to reduce puffiness and smooth. [Prior review: This stuff is really growing on me. One thing I love about it is that it is easy to use. I see subtle but slight improvements in my skin. Nothing incredible or earth shattering but there's a glow and the skin is soft. I'm going to use it on some scars and if it works then I'll come back and change it to 5 stars.]

I've been using this oil for a few weeks and can honestly say I'm so impressed. I read about how some famous models and actresses use rosehip oil for aging prevention and moisturization, but decided to buy from Teddie instead of a brand from New Zealand because Teddie seemed to have better customer service and was more affordable. I really only apply it at night since I prefer using a light serum during the day under my makeup. I wash my face like normal and then use a gentle but exfoliating toner to treat/prevent acne, let my face dry, and follow it with this oil. I love that it is a "dry" oil so it absorbs pretty nicely. It absorbs better on my legs and hands than on my face, but I have combo/oily skin on my face so that makes sense. Overall, I've been using it long enough to say it hasn't broken me out and probably won't in the future either. It leaves my face well moisturized and calm despite using a toner designed for acne treatment. I'm very impressed with this oil to moisturize and maybe prevent aging too. Would repurchase! UPDATE: I'm updating to edit my review after the fact. I still like the fast absorption and calming moisture this oil provides, but after doing a bit more research on rosehip oil, I'm a bit disappointed. This oil is cold pressed instead of CO2 extracted, meaning it has a shorter shelf life than it could have if it was CO2 extracted. That being said, as a polyunsaturated oil, it oxidizes when exposed to oxygen and heat, which of course it will be exposed to while the bottle is open while you dispense it and especially while it's on your skin. I will still try to use up as much of this oil as I can, but I really regret purchasing the 4oz bottle now that I know what a short shelf life it really has. I didn't really save any money by buying the 4oz over the 1oz because I had a much better chance of finishing the 1oz bottle and who knows how much will go to waste when it turns rancid soon.

I LOVE THIS. It's like magic. The only thing I wish is that they had a UK-based stockist as ordering from US is a huge wait and also bad for the environment. I've run out and am having to wait 2 weeks, in which time my skin has gone back to being blotchy and spotty. Please come to the UK!!

Soothed redness and moisturized through my rough dry outer layer of skin. It's one of the first things my overreactive skin has taken to. Definitely try if you have issues with redness, dryness and reactivity.

Teddie Organics has always been a reliable skin care brand. This oil is lovely. It will improve skin texture, tone and moisture. Use it twice a day if you can! Also, it arrived very well packaged and quickly too!! Thanks Teddie Organics :)

No hace maravillas pero si que es cierto por lo menos no perjudica a la piel sensible como la mía

Great product use on face and nails. Face is soft and fine lines not as noticeable. Nails hard . Expensive in Canada compared to states.
