Evolu Rosehip & Friends Review

I was lucky enough to receive a bottle to trial - thanks, BR! I have incredibly dry, sensitive skin so I love face oils.

The first thing I noticed was the smell wasn't over powering, and that's very important to me, I don't usually like the smell or the yellow colour of rosehip normally, so don't really buy it, so what I love about this combo of ingredients is it helps balance out the smell, colour and greasiness.

It felt moisturising and nourishing, and not greasy, and absorbed quickly. You couldn't put makeup over it, but it would be great to use before bed.

At $30 for 30ml it's reasonable value for money, especially considering the ingredients.

Well I got a nice surprise of a $20 promo code in the box so with that I was already happy as I love that sort of thing. The bottle was glass which I prefer as well. It smells ok, neither here nor there, although my son said he liked the smell of my face haha. It felt like a typical oil, no surprises there. Took a while to soak in so I used it in the evening when I didn't have to worry about putting make up on top as my skin stayed oily for a while. The main thing I noticed was how hydrated my skin looked. It looked great, glowing and moisturised, really luxuriant. I didn't notice too much other things with it. My skin felt soft and "plump" if that sounds right. I'm not sure how you tell if it's working as a barrier or protectant. But hey if it is doing that, awesome. I'm 38 next month eeeek so it all sounds great to me. I say it's definitely worth trying for yourself.

I absolutely love this product, I am so glad I was selected for this trial because it is not a product I would have purchased to try but now I will not be without it!

I have sensitive acne prone skin, I have a constant struggle to get moisture in to my skin without it breaking out. I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of products sitting on my shelf which make my skin worse. This stuff is beautiful! Finally my skin is hydrated!

Ok, so when it first arrived I thought the packaging was beautiful, a classy glass bottle with a nice looking dropper for product application. I have to admit I did wonder if the dropper would be messy but it isn't, I follow the instructions and drop on to the back of my hand first and then apply, I use three drops for my whole face. It smells DIVINE, I am not a big fan of herby smelly natural products and this is not that. It smells floral and woody. I will say the scent is quite strong but personally I like it and it disappears quickly.

I have used single blend oils before (jojoba is my go to) but this was something else. It absorbs so quickly and does not leave an oily residue at all. Instantly my face feels hydrated and over a few weeks I have definitely noticed an improvement in redness on my cheeks and also in acne scars.

I honestly can't recommend this enough, if you have sensitive skin, redness, acne scarring you have to give this a go. I will absolutely be repurchasing!

I'm an oil fan! I have been using oil as a facial serum for about the past year and so when I was offered to trial Evolu Rosehip & friends oil I was pretty excited. I have used Rosehip in the past on its own and mixed with essential oil which gives me that extra boast of moisture I like for my mature dry skin, so I was surprised to find that Evolu oil with its base of Rosehip is in my opinion far superior, within a couple of days I would say that I had a noticeable glow to my skin that I hadn't before. It looks like Rosehip oil about the same texture but whatever the other ingredients are doing it is a great mix. I liked the smell it's got a kind of citrus with an under note of Rosehip which I find is refreshing. It is yellow in colour and a little goes a long way, I let it sink into the skin for a few minutes before applying my moisturiser, I use it morning and night. As an oil user this product to me gets top ratings - it performs to all the claims on the box brighten/protect/nourish. Would I buy this product again DEFINITELY. Something in the grape seed, pomegranate or kiwi fruit that just works on my skin. Well done Evolu this is a really an excellent oil. Goodbye dry skin.

First off, I just want to say how excited I was to try this product! Evolu rosehip oil was my first love, but I cheated and had got into a serious relationship with a Trilogy oil because it had a mix of rosehip and a few other potent-sounding products. I have always loved the Evolu products and ethos, so I was really excited about an opportunity to get back into their facial oils.

And was I disappointed? Absolutely not!

When it arrived, I immediately fell for the brown glass bottle with white writing and a white and gold top. It looks so elegant sitting on my bathroom shelf!

As is standard with facial oils, it has a dropper to allow careful application of just the right number of drops. Again, standard with facial oils, a little goes a long way. I found two drops sufficient for my face and another two or three did my neck and chest area (because nothing ages you like a wrinkly chest!). This is comparable to how much facial oil I usually use.

As for the texture, it was lovely and light, easily rubbing into my skin and leaving it soft and nourished, with no greasy or heavy feeling. I particularly loved the smell, which is delicious, but in a light, natural way. I like a good scent as much as the next girl, but I also can't bear heavy, cloying scents, so I'm pretty picky. This was spot-on - enough fragrance to be enjoyable, but not enough to remind you what you had on your face 20 minutes later!

Though I haven't been able to trial this long enough to see a difference yet, I know from past experience that when I use Evolu rosehip oil consistently I get compliments on my skin. This product is a very reasonable price (under $30 and it will last AGES) and has that wonder ingredient, rosehip oil, plus a host of other things that may or may not improve my skin, but it sure doesn't hurt to try!

All up, I'm so delighted to have received this facial oil to try. It is affordable, lovely to use, calms and nourishes my combination skin and - bonus - looks ridiculously beautiful. In case you haven't picked, I'm a convert. I see a long and loyal future for 'Evil Rosehip & Friends' and I!

Packaging is relatively attractive green and white very understated considering what little gem lurks inside

A brown glass bottle with a glass drop applicator you know you squeeze the rubber end and it sucks the contents up a glass tube ready to squirt out

One or two drops to be applied after cleansing as per instructions This oil is a kiwi fruit yellow in colour The pomegranate is the main fragrance for me it’s quite earthy and bitter like hemlock a little rancid thankfully it doesn’t take long to settle down to a nice light sweet scent

Well that’s where the negatives stop This is a light fine oil not greasy, nice and easy to smear two drops around my face and neck five minutes tops and it’s all soaked in. I’m not left feeling like there anything left sitting on my skin, I still moisturise on top then continue with makeup etc.

I get nasty cracks on the end off my fingers really stingy and hard to cure, while I’ve been using this I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in my cracked skin. Just a little extra bonus.

I used this morning and night I love it I’m definitely more hydrated using this oil no heavy greasy feeling or blocked pores

I feel my skin is a little brighter and softer without making me greasy and I'm finding the texture of my skin feels way better I do love rosehip oils but this one with friends (the extra goodies is great) I usually use quite a dare brand of oil I’ve found this just as good if not better.

This is going to have to be one of the nicest rosehip blend oils I’ve tried My go to oil, a little goes a long way so I can see this bottle lasting for quite a while So I’d say it’s good value for sure

I really enjoyed using this oil even more than some of the high end oils. So this is a really great choice if you are looking for value! The bottle is also quite large in size so you get a lot, AND a little goes a long way with this one!

The texture of the product is a little more runny than some other products I have tried and the scent is soft and not too overpowering.

I applied it in the evening and it did not feel greasy at all on the skin as it sunk into the skin well and left it feeling hydrated, soft and glowing (unless you put too much on - a little really does go a long way here!). In the morning I now wake up with really soft, hydrated and glowing skin which is the perfect way to start the day.

I would definitely use this product again and would recommend it to my friends :)

Packaging is the standard fern green and white box with brown writing. The box has the list of ingredients which include rosehip oil,argan oil,grapeseed,pomegranate and kiwiseed oil and directions of use. The plus is this is a NZ product and all natural ingredients. The container inside is a small brown glass bottle with a gold screw top with white dropper. The scent is lightly fruity with the rose being the strongest and not overpowering at all which is nice. The oil is a gold colour and very light in texture. As the directions state 2 to 3 drops and this is definately sufficient to apply to neck and face. I love the way my skin absorbs this quickly without any greasy residue and as my skin is in the dry side I feel this very beneficial. I have been using daily for the last 3 weeks and I can see the benefits already with my skin feeling much softer and with a nice healthy glow. I usually get very dry patches on my face this time of yes with the change of weather but since using New Radience my skin has stayed soft and moisturised which is really nice. I like the little thank you note in the box too with a voucher for $20 off next purchase which is a really nice touch and i will be using for sure as the more I use Evolu products the better my skin is.

Received this in the Beautiful Christmas 2018 box and have been using for the last two weeks. I'm not too fussed on having an oil in my skincare routine but have enjoyed other Evolu products in the past.

Darkened amber glass bottle. The dropper has a circle tip. Never seen one like it before, super precise at dispensing product. The oil itself is a lighter amber colour and looks heavy, but it is beautifully light to apply. Smells amazing, homeopathic herbs/botanical. All the good stuff. Reminds me of my aunty's skin care when I was a child.

I used 2 drops for the full face, neck and decolletage area. Easily absorbs in the skin and leaves skin feeling so soft and super touchable. Glowy looking but not in a "i put an oil on my face" type of way. Such a quality product. It is a bit above what I would normally purchase for skin care. However I really like and enjoy this product so would pick it up again.
