Can anyone remind me why I bought a bottle of rosehip oil?

What am I supposed to do with it?

Am in my late 40s, don't have dry skin, but do have mild rosacea. Hardly every wear makeup so I didn't buy it as a regular cleanser.

What on earth is it actually FOR?

I put it on before I go to bed. I've found it helps my rosacea and hormonal breakouts.

Well, for me, it was to bring me out in such huge, itchy hives that it looked like I had bubonic plague. I had plenty of standing room at school pick up as the other parents edged away from me. Grin I was hoping to use it for oil cleansing/hot cloth cleansing.

I sometimes use it after oil cleansing. It’s not bad but I prefer an organic oil by Inlight

Funnily enough I did the exact same thing- bought it after a swears by thread, I think. I dont wear make up or moisturise or anything as I am blessed with good skin but I AM aging a lot bit so decided to do a 'scientific' experiment (I don't get out much). I massaged it into one side of my face only, while just 'dry' massaging the other side by way of a control. After a week it genuinely did seem to make a difference, particularly to the broken veins pink part of my cheeks: the oil side was noticeably less pink and the whole lot seemed smoother. Then my dd headbutted me, by accident, and the whole area was so bloody painful that I gave up. Give it a try and report back; it'll be like Real Science!

Cleanse
Tone
2 drops of Rosehip oil as a serum
moisturise.

I think it is one of the best things have used. It does make you a bit spotty but work through it. Spots or wrinkles? I know which I prefer.

Also, what type do you have? I only use Trilogy Rosehip Oil and buy it in Natures Farm.

I did the same thing! Couldn't remember what I'd bought it for. I have red cheeks too so perhaps it was for that. I am using it instead of castor oil on my eyebrows.

Have me hives and itchy skin too.

I have very strong skin and can pretty much tolerate anything!
