Evolu Rosehip & Friends Review

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 have loved trialing this product! My sensitive and at times oily skin usually breaks out if using oils on it but has not at any stage using this product. I have stopped needing to use a moisturiser and my skin feels hydrated all day. The product smells amazing and my partner has commented on how good my skin is looking. My partner and mum have also tested the product and love it too!! You don't need much of it and once it is absorbed into the skin it is not greasy at all. I think over time there will be big benefits for my skin in using this product regularly such as a reduction in acne scaring and hyperpigmentation. Would highly recommend this product to anyone with sensitive combination/ problem skin. It could possibly be better than bio oil. Definitely an Evolu convert now.

I've been using face oils quite regularly this year in place of a regular night cream. I like the way they absorb quickly and give your face a beautiful fresh glow. The one that I've been using lately is quite expensive so when I decided to put a stop to excessive spending I decided to try a few supermarket brands but just couldn't find one that gave me the same results, one was fine but I couldn't stand the smell of it and the others didn't really do much more than make my skin soft. I raised my hand high when Beaty Review were offering spots on the Evolu Rosehip and Friends oil trial team.

For the $29.99 price tag the size of the bottle is amazing, I've been using 3 drops every night for the past 3 weeks and a few days have even used it in the morning and I've used about a 5th of the bottle, it has a lovely faint floral smell and a really useful list of ingredients on the bottle. You honestly don't need a lot of this product it goes a very long way! It's so softening and hydrating, which is great for this prolonged heat pump required winter we have had, and are still having.

The ingredients list is a who's who of natural ingredients and the packaging clearly states that it is free from nasties and not tested on animals, all massive ticks in my eyes! I have had a break out whilst using this, however I have hormonal skin and this week is one of those weeks so I honestly don't think it has anything to do with the oil, it is actually nice and soothing on my skin when I put it on before bed. In the morning my skin definitely looks refreshed and smooth.

All in all the price tag, the size of the bottle, the fact it is full of natural goodness and the way my skin glows when I use it is definitely a cause for recommendation, it's really lovely and feels a lot more luxurious that it's $29.99 selling price. Also it's an NZ brand, what more could you ask for!?

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'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

This lovely oil came in a BBBE - where all of my skincare comes from these days.

Evolu products are pretty good but this is the best one I've tried.

It comes in a dropper bottle, pretty standard for oils and serums. It has the same kind of piney scent of other rosehip products. I neither love it nor hate it.

The oil is a good consistency and not too runny.

I apply it every night, usually several times throughout the evening. It absorbs well and doesn't leave a sticky residue. When I wake up in the morning I have soft, hydrated skin, which feels very nice. The product claim is that it will brighten, protect and nourish and it meets that claim.

I love all the beautiful oils it contains.

At $30 for 30mls it is a very good buy - better than a lot of other oils and a lower price. Definitely worth a try.

I love the effect of rosehip oil, which I use on my hair, and on scratches, and as a carrier oil - but I'm not a giant fan of the scent.

This is perfect for me! It's not pure rosehip - it has argan, pomegranate, grapeseed and kiwifruit seed oils as well. That all means it has a slightly fruitier, sweeter, more pleasant scent.

I use this to smooth and nourish my hair, esp when it's dry - either as a serum or as a mask. I also like to pop it on and rough/scratched skin to aid healing.

As a carrier oil I add in a couple drops of essential oil

The bottle cap has leaked slightly but i've been carting this around for six months so that's not surprising. I'm about 1/3 of the way through my 15 ml bottle.

I'd definitely repurchase this over other pure rosehip oils. Absolutely lovely, the glass dropper dispensation is a nice feature and a trusted kiwi brand.
