Chock full of Nutrition for your skin.

Have used this several night and my sensitive skin never had any severe reaction to it. This is pure organic rosehip oil with nothing extra added. No fragrance either.

It has a beautiful rich yellow nearly orange hue. I like that A'kin is an Australian brand and contains over 80% of fatty essential acids as well as vitamin E & A. This suits dry and normal skin. I apply a thick layer on my face and neck at night and wake up to nourished skin. I like how the extraction is done by co2, with no heat.

Happy to repurchase this item again and again.

Any Tips?:

Use at night only as Rosehip oil is photosensitive.

Mix this with your normal moisturiser (body or face) to amp up the moisture content.

Ideal For...:

normal, dry and sensitive skin.

You really can't go wrong with an organic rose hip oil!

This is an excellent facial oil that moisturises the skin well and keeps it supple and soft. I find this works well applied morning and night. I apply more at night time.
It also works really well for the sensitive under eye area.

For me I find this is great for all seasons apart from Winter.
In winter my skin becomes super dry and rough so I apply my single ingredient wonder product instead ;)

The dropper is a great addition to this product as you can measure the right amount without overdoing it.

Any Tips?:

Apply under the eyes and on lips too!

Ideal For...:

All skin types

Awesome

I got this for free in a Priceline skincare deal anddddd I'm loving it. I have sensitive, acne, dry skin on my face, and I also have eczema and dermatitis.... all sorts of skin problems. :(
Since I've been using this I've seen a difference in my skin, its been feeling more alive and hydrated. It is super gentle on my face with my acne, not irritating the blemishes and I've seen a slight change in my scarring. I have been putting a small amount on my dermatitis on my hand and it is soothing and hydrating my dry/rough skin.
I like that it doesn't have the harsh chemical that sting your skin. It is a great oil for skincare. Australian made and owned! And animal cruelty free. This is my first time trying this brand out and so far so good.

Any Tips?:

Only need a small amount for each used. A little goes a long way.

Ideal For...:

Acne, scarring, dry, sensitive skin

Radiant Skin!

I love this rosehip oil!
I rub it into my face gently with my fingers (before applying moisturiser) and my skin just drinks it up!
It makes my skin radiant and I can really feel it working.
It plumps and hydrates my skin, and leaves it feeling rejuvenated and really soft.

Any Tips?:

Rosehip oil can be used all over, and it's great for adding to an unscented moisturiser.

Ideal For...:

All skin types

Great quality Rosehip Oil

Absolutely love using this rosehip oil, I keep it by my bed and alternate it with my night cream right before going to bed. I always wake up with revitalised skin after using this oil. You also don't need to use very much to cover your whole face so the little bottle goes really far. I find that it soaks into your skin quickly and doesn't leave any sort of oily feeling. I always use it just before I go to bed which works well for me although I'm not sure how it would handle being put on and foundation being put on right after.

Any Tips?:

Use it before bed for a revitalising mask.

Ideal For...:

People who want softer, nourished skin.

Helped the condition of my skin.

This was my very first rosehip oil that I've used. I purchased it for about 17 bucks at Cincotta Chemist and have now finished the bottle. It lasted me about 2.5 months. I'm now using the Thursday Plantation brand of rosehip oil so I have something to compare it with.

A'kin Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil works well for me.

It left my skin hydrated and smooth and helped to lighten acne scars. It also soothed active acne and it didn't break me out any further which was a concern of mine prior to using rosehip oil. The smell wasn't too strong and it dissipated after application.

I really enjoyed using this and would happily repurchase.

Smooth

This product goes on smooth and you only need a few drops to feel it absorbing in the skin. I don't use it everyday, but I use it once or twice a week before bed.

Any Tips?:

It is great for using after a good cleanse and exfolation.

Great quality rose hip

You can definitely smell the quality of this rose hip oil. It's definitely strong but I like it. I apply it before going to bed as a night mask. I wake up and my skins soft. I rated it 4 because I wasn't blown away with a wow factor over night. You know, waking up with a dramatic difference. But used regularly it definitely has its benefits and the aroma definitely calms you before going to sleep which is what I like. Again using regularly will help diminish the appearance of scars for sure. And it hydrates dehydrated skin which I suffer with throughout winter.

Any Tips?:

Use regularly for bigger results. Use sparatic for normal/minimal results.

Ideal For...:

Dry/dehydrated skin, scars

Remove dryness

I regularly use this product and have used rose oil for a number of years. This lasts such a long time and is great for blending or adding to other skin care products. I add it to my sun cream and foot are products. It enhances there abilities. It's when you stop using it you notice how great the product is

Any Tips?:

Keep using it don't stop as the results quickly cease being evident on older skin

Ideal For...:

Face , hands and feet but feel free to use all over

Fixes my dry skin

While I can't identify any factor that makes this rosehip oil any different from other brands, I am a fan of this one and will buy again. My skin drinks in the oil very quickly and feels smoother for having used it. I find all the hype around moisturisers to be a bit much considering that oils seem to do a much better job at making my skin feel taken care of while not being clogged up. I use this product day and night. In the morning I use it under my spf 50 and in the evening it is the first thing I put on after my shower.

Any Tips?:

Dry skin - pick an oil cleanser to match with this product and your skin will never be dried out again.

I like this rose hip oil, sinks into the skin quickly. The smell is a little odd. I didn't notice any major changes in my skin. I think i will stick with my trilogy rosehip oil.

Beautiful

I received this as a sample from A'Kin. It's an oil that is very orange/red in colour. More colour than I've seen in other rosehip oils. I only ever use this at night as my face is always oily after application. A little goes a long way. I did find that after a few applications, my skin felt smooth and soft.

Any Tips?:

If you have just washed your face or put toner, then your skin is a bit more wet, it's perfect to help the oil glide on your face.

Not for me

I got a sample of this rosehip oil because I heard good things about them. It comes out in an orangey colour, smells quite woody and I didn't like that smell at first but then got used to it. I have actually been using this product for my lips but I found that it didn't do much. I would apply it before going to bed and when I wake up in the morning, my lips still felt cracked and dry so it obviously didn't do anything for me. I also tried it on my fingers with peeling skin but it still didn't do anything so I gave up using it. I'm glad I got it for free and wouldn't buy the real thing in future.

Not the right rosehip oil for me

This rosehip oil has a very strong smell kind of like wood and I personally found it unpleasant. You only need to use a small amount for your face so the product will last for a while. It absorbs well into my skin and leaves it feeling soft and moisturised however I didn't notice a difference to skin appearance or reduced blemishes.

Softer, supple skin

I had wanted to try a rosehip oil for a long time, so when I saw this on special I bought one. It comes in a dark glass bottle with a dropper, which is very handy. The oil itself is orange in colour and smells like an oil... neither good or bad. I used 2-3 drops daily. It absorbs very well and leaves skin feeling smooth. I followed it's use with my usual moisturiser. My skin did feel softer and more supple with it. However after a few days it started breaking out and got pretty bad so I stopped using the rosehip oil. Its a good oil but not for me as I can't risk it. I might try using it once a week to see how it goes. I would have added to my routine if it didn't break out my skin. Might be good for non oily skin.

Powerful with proven results

I had never used Rosehip prior to buying this product and wasn't quite sure how my skin would react to it. I have been on strong anti-acne medication over the years which has made my skin sensitive. Using this has been absolutely incredible. I use it in conjunction with A'kin's Rosehip & Shea Intensive Moisture Antioxidant Creme and am really happy with the results. My skin seems to be more balanced - not as oily and not as dry. It has also improved the texture. More importantly is has helped to reduce my skin's redness! I only use it 3-4 times a week so that I don't overdo it and make my skin too oily. Using these 2 products together feels really luxurious.

Any Tips?:

Use together with A'kin's Rosehip & Shea Intensive Moisture Antioxidant Creme.

Ideal For...:

Highly recommended for people who are wanting relief from naturally red skin, along with people who want to improve the general condition of their face.

I have never tried rosehip oil before and I think this product has just about changed my life. It is the most amazing thing I have ever used. It smells beautiful and even though it comes out a disconcerting orange colour and looks like you are slathering a layer of oil on your face, it's actually quite the opposite. I only need to use a very little bit on my face and it's incredibly easily absorbed. My face doesn't feel oily after application—in fact, it felt like as if I've put soft powder on it. I really love this product as it's made my skin feel so soft and smooth, it moisturises beautifully (even though I did use the creme as well) and my skin is looking much brighter, dewier and just so nice! Love it.
