Thursday Plantation Rosehip Oil

I nabbed some of this in the vault with the intention of using it on my expanding bump and have been using it for the past few weeks on everything.

Once I got over the smell - I was expecting rose and got old chip packet - I've been obsessed. How have I not tried this before.

It makes my tummy so nice and smooth, and unlike bio oil where it felt like I was using half the bottle each time, a little goes a long way. It absorbs rapidly (again unlike bio oil) so is perfect for applying before bed time or before wearing clothes and not wanting to feel sticky.

The drop cap prevents excess from coming out really well so there's no waste and I can tell it will last a while even with me slathering it over everything like I've found the elixir of life. Come to think of it that's not far from the truth.

I've always been hard on my hands, I'm very sensual and hands on in general and I extended this to my work when I was a chef (this means lots of burns and cuts hehe). I also have a slight, ok full on, hand washing obsession and don't use hand cream as much as I really should. I have noticed a real improvement in them just from rubbing the excess in after application, my hands feel supple and the skin appears plumper and less old lady-esque, my cuticles are in great shape too.

I've also been using a little of the excess (seriously it's amazing how far this goes) on my lips and they feel great too.

The only reason I haven't given this full marks is because I'm waiting to see if any stretch marks develop. I definitely think that whether or not you get them ultimately comes down to luck though so perhaps this isn't fair. Oh well I'm pregnant I'm allowed to be hormonal and blame a product for things that are out of it's control.

Rosehip Oil', 'Wow, wow, wow. I have read so much about Rosehip Oil since joing BR and I love it. I was lucky enough to nab some from The Vault. I like the packaging, nice and bright, solid packaging with good instructions and information. I like the small bottle (that goes a loooooong way). I really like the dispenser as only a small amount of the lovely oil goodness comes out at a time. If it wasn't for the wonderful stopper in place, I would have an oil crisis all over the place! I am not sure about the scent (just can't put my finger on it) but it is not bad enough for me to discontinue. So many other benefits.The oil absorbs easily. I put it on before bed and I am trying to put it on each morning as well. Since using the Rosehip oil, I have noticed scarring on my chin has faded and redness around the bridge of my nose (rosacea) has lessened. Got to be a good thing! When applying, I feel like I am putting goodness on to my face. I concentrate on my eye area as well and no problems there. I can be sensitive around the eyes sometimes and is fine. I am going to continue to use Rosehip oil and seeing a difference to my skin in a short time, I look forward to seeing what happens in 6 months 'Definitely give this a go and small amount goes a long way.

I recently discovered rose-hip oil and after finishing my first bottle (which was a different brand) I decided to give this one a go as it is super affordable. I use this on my face morning and night but love how multipurpose it is and have read great things about its scar reducing qualities which I am yet to test out.

I'm not a huge fan of the scent of rose-hip but have become used to it and don't mind considering how fantastic this makes my skin look. I have dry sensitive skin and this does wonders for preventing my dry patches that randomly appear on my face. In my experience it has really brightened up my complexion, dull skin be gone! The only thing I don't like about this particular brand of rose-hip oil is the bottle. The dispenser is a bit hit and miss and messy to use but I simply transferred the product to my old bottle which has a dropper (which I find makes it far easier to dispense a controlled amount of product, mess free). For the price and results this is a must have for me and something I would recommend to all you want soft, youthful healthy looking skin.

Ive used this rosehip oil on my entire body except my face. My face is super oily, so best I keep the rosehip oil far away from it.

Appeal and Packaging - The packaging of the oil is great which a dark brown glass bottle so you know the nutrients in the oil is going to maintained. Never trust a rosehip oil is its in a clear glass bottle because when light hits the bottle, the nutrients are destroyed. The bottle is great but I dont like the contraption for pouring out the oil. Its just the top, stuffed with a plastic stopper which makes it almost impossible to get a decent amount of product out of the bottle. I much prefer it when the bottle has a drop dispenser so you can control the amount of oil you want. Lastly, I hate the smell. Its way to earthy and nutty for my liking. I know its natural but the smell prevents me from using the oil during the daytime. I dont want to be offending peoples nostrils in daylight.

Effectiveness - Apart from the smell and the nozzle the oil is amazing. I've been using it over my body and it makes my skin super soft. Baby soft for a better word because my skin always feel youthful and glowing after using this. I use a few drops into a body lotion for an allover body treatment of about 2 drops on a specific area. I have a burn mark on my hand and the oil has been helping to lighten the scar.

This oil works slowly so you have to be patient and keep at it everyday if you want to see results. My burn mark was quite bad so I only started seeing fading in the mark about 2 months after using it and now its 6 months and its improved greatly.

I love that this oil is multi-purpose because it can used to target certain areas and be effective as well as be used for the entire body and still be effective. I love this oil but I think I love the Trilogy rosehip oil alot more as I feel its an oil I can use day and night without and offensive smell and therefore heal any scars much quicker by using it more often.

Yes I did find that it did work as I do have a few scars on my face. I did not care for the smell as times it smelt like oil.

I like the packaging - it's attractive and the bottle is very small so fits on the bathroom shelf easily.

The product is an oil and only a small amount is needed for each use. I've been using it nightly for the bags under my eyes (pregnancy makes it hard to sleep) and I think it's made a positive difference.

I note that it doesn't smell like roses at all (somehow I thought it would) - more like olive oil.

I started using this product on a few scars, and some lines on my face. I have a habit of breaking out, and I usually dab a bit of tea tree oil on my face before bed, if I'm worried. So, swapping tea tree for rosehip was new... But, I didn't think a week would really make much difference. I can't stand the smell, that was the first thing. The smell just reminds me of olive oil, but really cheap olive oil that is just branded "olive oil", and it was probably coloured castor oil. The feeling was okay, and my skin didn't react on application. But, after a week, I saw no real results. My face was a bit softer, the scars looked a little better, but I'm not sure if that's just hopeful thinking.

I was once told a bit of rose hip oil on some dry skin makes all the difference. And boy does it! I've put it on my skin after my shower everyday for a week and my skin is GLOWING. I'm in love. I highly recommend this to anyone in the market for a good oil. Hoping to also see improvement in my scarring as well but it's too early to see yet

While I do think it it works as i notice the change to the lines on my face. The Rosehip Oil is not for me I did not like the feel of it on my face, while I realize it is Oil I just felt like I was putting cooking oil on my face.

I do think Rosehip Oilis a great porduct as it seems to work well. Just for people who are not bothered by the feel of it.

This is amazing! I have extremely sensitive skin, most product will either make me break out or have these horrible dry patches. My face is never dry and feels awesome when I wake up in the morning, I even think my foundation goes on a tad smoother. Im yet to see any change in appearance of stretch marks though.
