I have combination skin, dry on the cheeks/chin and normal to oily everywhere else. The oil helps a lot on the normal/oily bits but I found it just sits on the dry skin and doesn't do much, even when I have exfoliated. My Dad loves this stuff, he uses it to treat his psoriasis.

Reviews
I wish so badly that I could write a good review for this product! I've heard SO many stories about how rosehip oil is a miracle product and has saved so many women from issues ranging from wrinkles to acne scarring and everything in between. Well, I've gone through a whole bottle of the stuff and noticed zero difference in my sensitive-combination skin. It provided my skin with a good amount of moisture after cleansing, but other than that I saw no improvements in terms of my skin's redness, scarring, etc. The results I've had from this product have been the same as I'd get from any cheap moisturiser. Going back to my favourite moisturiser, Celestial by Lush, instead.
Firstly I love the brand Essano so of course I had no hesitation in buying their Rosehip Oil.
I love the packaging of this oil, as most oils a dropper is used to extract the oil from the bottle and squeeze onto your hand.
I really liked using this Rosehip Oil - I have dry skin and I like that Rosehip is a tad thicker than other oils. It gives my skin the hydration it needs and I found it gave the dewy look I needed under my foundation. It also made my skin feel smooth and soft. The only times I didn't find it necessary to wear this oil was in really warm weather and this would feel a bit heavy on my face under my foundation.
My only little niggle about this oil is the scent. It wasn't bad by all means, but when you first apply it, it reminds me of the scent of popcorn or a nutty scent. I also think for the price it would be nice if it came in a 30-50ml bottle. I found 20ml got used up really quickly.
Used this for a few days on my face but I stopped using it because it made my skin a little red. Feels heavy on the skin. Hard to blend in. Instead of throwing it out I have been using it on my stomach stretch marks for about a month and haven't noticed a difference.
I really wanted this product to work on my skin but I do find it too heavy. After a week of daily use I started to break out. I’ve still got the bottle and will use occasionally on a lazy night but I wouldn’t purchase again. I have used Evolu Rosehip oil in the past and found that both a better texture and smell.
I do use cleansing oils on my combination skin and have no problems with them.
A very accessible price however and available widely at the supermarket. I’m sure it does suit other skin types - just not mine.
I love Essano so I had high expectations for this product. The thing I first noticed is the smell - it's very overpowering and probably not for people who are sensitive to scents. This is especially surprising since the other Essano products that I've used have a gentle scent. While it's scent isn't "bad" it takes some getting used to, especially if the oil is applied on the face and around the nose.
The packaging is very convenient, and the dropper ensures a clean application (as opposed to normal bottle where the oil is poured straight from the bottle which is very messy and can get the product everywhere). However because the oil is not very thick it can drip from the dropper at random meaning the application process has to be fast and done somewhere you wouldn't mind getting a little messy (e.g. over the sink). The bottle is quite small and I find I go through a bottle relatively quickly and have to replace it often, however this isn't really an issue as it's a very affordable product.
Onto the product itself: I've been using it on my face over the dry flaky parts for a couple of months now (and sometimes use it on dry patches on my arms and legs, such as elbows and knees). I apply it every night before I go to sleep. I have noticed a big difference in my skin, and it is now a lot less dry and the dry flaky areas are almost completely gone. My face also suffers from lots of breakouts, and while I haven't found that the oil reduces the breakouts, the skin around the blemishes seems calmer and less red and irritated. My skin is very sensitive so when I first apply it my cheeks can go a little red, however it's gone within a couple of minutes and when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels very healthy and glowy and the redness around my breakouts has been minimised. A little of this oil can go a long way, and you only need a couple of drops for your whole face, as it is very moisturising and it takes a minute or so to absorb into your skin. A huge plus of this product is that it's not thick at all and once it is applied and absorbed I can't feel it on my skin.
Overall, I am a huge fan of this product (although the smell gets a major thumbs-down) and I would definitely repurchase this again.
Tips: - the oil tends to drip randomly from the dropper so the application process has to be quick - it's very moisturising so a little can go a long way
This was a little too much on my skin, which is strange because my skin generally loves oils. It did not soak into my skin at all, however it did add a little something extra when I mixed it in with my night cream. I honestly didn't notice any benefits, but there also weren't any negative side effects.
Tips: Might be good for some, but not especially exciting for me. It is nice to mix in with your night cream for a little something extra though if your skin has had a rough day in the weather
I absolutely love this product! I used it each night followed by a moisturizer, and when i wake up each morning my skin is alot brighter and my acne scars are less noticeable. It absorbs into the skin fairly quickly and it makes my skin feel quite soft. Packeging is quite simple nice and convenient and comes in glass bottle with a dropper attached. A little goes a long way so I would normally only use between 3-4 drops, anymore and it would make the skin quite oily. I have acne prone skin and I haven't had any issues with it breaking me out. Overall I recommend.
Tips: Use spearingly 4 drops at most
After years of struggling with acne scarring I went on the hunt for a product to help with that. I tried several products and oils to help and the only one I feel in love with was the essano rosehip oil. The beautiful packaging was a seller to begin with, it caught my eye instantly on the self and was so excited to take it home. After removing from the box the bottle was just as cute and the little dropper was such a nice addition compared to other brands which could get a little bit messy when tipping to get product.
After the first use I was worried about my skin becoming very oily but it absorbed into my skin quickly and by morning I felt hydrated. After months of use my scarring has cleared up and I'm still on my first bottle. In some of the other reviews I've seen that people struggled with the dropper and it releasing product without the individual releasing it themselves, I've not experienced this myself and my dropper works quite well, but I've used my step-mothers one which did have a very droppy dropper. So it's definitely a case by case issue with the bottles. I have only two very small issues with the rosehip oil, the first one being the scent, which took quite a while to get used to, but is something I could deal with. The other issue is the bottle externally gets quite grubby and oily, and if not cleaned or wiped off properly it gets crusty around the lid. Yet again an issue that can be dealt with.
Overall, a beautiful product that has worked well to clear some of my acne scars.
I really, really enjoy this product and I've noticed a dramatic difference in my skin since incorporating this product into my skin care regime.
If I have any noticeably large or irritated pimples I'll apply the oil directly onto them and I find that over a couple of days it reduces/removes the pimple. It's also great for applying to the scar of the pimple and I can see improvement within days.
If I'm not using if for spot treatment as such, I'll just apply a small amount all over the face. Now I actually have oily skin and a lot of people with oily skin wouldn't dream of putting an oil on their skin but it's a dream come true for oily skin!
Often, products that target oily skin strip a lot of the oil (which you'd think you want, right?) but that just mean your skin creates MORE oil to compensate. Therefore, by incorporating an oil into your skin care routine, your skin isn't having to create more oil and therefore, my skin has been LESS oily since using an oil in my skincare routine. (lol how many times can I say oil/oily in one review hahah)
I don't love the scent of this product, but that it my only downside!
