What the gurus are saying

Its light, thin texture is the detail gurus keep returning to, and they say it suits hot weather. Described as a natural vitamin A derivative, it can pair well with retinol nights, with a few drops pressed on as the last step. It's called friendly for acne-prone skin, though the area should not already be breakout-prone. For more hydration, the brand's fermented version is named instead.

"Rose hip oil is mixed into Stratia Lipid Gold as a lighter option for summer. It has a really good fatty acid profile particularly high in linoleic acid."

How I Get a Warm Summer Glow Without Sun Damage (GRWM Skincare + Makeup)
"I do love oil in my skincare routine. I do have combination skin. It leans oily in the summer, but I have just found for whatever reason, my unique skin does amazing with some oil. This particular one has a really good fatty acid profile. It's great for strengthening your skin barrier, but it has a really nice lighter texture to it. It's not a really heavy dense oil. So, this actually is one of my favorite facial oils to use in hot weather. I use only two drops for my entire face."

"Rose hip oil is a special oil in a way because it's got some anti-aging benefits for skin. It's also pretty friendly for acne prone skin. So, I really like that specific oil."

"I'm a big fan of oils. You just got to make sure that you're not acne prone within the area and it's more that you've just got kind of sensitivity. So you could cleanse the skin, you could use the oil and then you can use the azelaic acid over the top and you should be absolutely fine."

Anti-Aging Skincare Routine For Extra Sensitive Skin - Retinol Free | Nipun Kapur
"The Ordinary cold pressed rosehip oil, take a few drops press it onto your face and let it soak in. Oil is always the last step and I recommend it in case your skin is extra dry because it is a derivative of vitamin A so you're giving your skin more vitamin A which is fabulous which will brighten, lighten and tighten your skin."

"The Ordinary and even Trilogy have some rose hip and argan oils which I like."
✓Yay
"I think the rose hip seed oil by The Ordinary is a really nice alternative. [...] It's already super affordable. [...] The Ordinary one is also super super affordable if you want to use that rose hip seed oil, or you could use it alongside castor oil. It's an oil with a thinner viscosity, which is going to help thin out that castor oil and make for a better application."

FACE OILS - Ultimate Anti Aging Facial Oils ( Reverse Skin Aging )
"Rose hip seed oil doesn't clog pores, it can actually have some beneficial properties for fighting acne, and it hydrates like one of the best oils on the market. When The Ordinary launched their fermented rose hip seed oil, I know it kind of slipped under the radar and you don't hear people talking about it, and they should. This is like the best facial oil for dry skin folk out there. Try it. I promise you will love it."
Ultimate CASTOR OIL Hack (It Works) - HOW TO USE CASTOR OIL FOR FACE
"The Ordinary rose hip seed oil is one of my personal favorites. It's a great option that's just thinner and will help to take away some of that thick sticky texture. You can put two drops of each in the palm of your hand, work it through to warm it up, and then apply it to the skin so much nicer, feels more elegant. You're also going to actually get some additional benefit from that rose hip seed oil which is also anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-acne."

"However, if you ferment the rose hip seed oil, you get elevated anti-aging. And this is what studies have really proven over the past 5 years. Fermented ingredients deliver in a quicker way. They tend to offer more hydration and they also help to enhance the profile of the actives that they've been fermented. So rather than just reaching for a standard rose hip seed oil, reach for a fermented one. You'll get quicker results, greater hydration, and better anti-aging results. The Ordinary do two."
