essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

After years of struggling with acne scarring I went on the hunt for a product to help with that. I tried several products and oils to help and the only one I feel in love with was the essano rosehip oil. The beautiful packaging was a seller to begin with, it caught my eye instantly on the self and was so excited to take it home. After removing from the box the bottle was just as cute and the little dropper was such a nice addition compared to other brands which could get a little bit messy when tipping to get product.

After the first use I was worried about my skin becoming very oily but it absorbed into my skin quickly and by morning I felt hydrated. After months of use my scarring has cleared up and I'm still on my first bottle. In some of the other reviews I've seen that people struggled with the dropper and it releasing product without the individual releasing it themselves, I've not experienced this myself and my dropper works quite well, but I've used my step-mothers one which did have a very droppy dropper. So it's definitely a case by case issue with the bottles. I have only two very small issues with the rosehip oil, the first one being the scent, which took quite a while to get used to, but is something I could deal with. The other issue is the bottle externally gets quite grubby and oily, and if not cleaned or wiped off properly it gets crusty around the lid. Yet again an issue that can be dealt with.

Overall, a beautiful product that has worked well to clear some of my acne scars.

I love Essano so I had high expectations for this product. The thing I first noticed is the smell - it's very overpowering and probably not for people who are sensitive to scents. This is especially surprising since the other Essano products that I've used have a gentle scent. While it's scent isn't "bad" it takes some getting used to, especially if the oil is applied on the face and around the nose.

The packaging is very convenient, and the dropper ensures a clean application (as opposed to normal bottle where the oil is poured straight from the bottle which is very messy and can get the product everywhere). However because the oil is not very thick it can drip from the dropper at random meaning the application process has to be fast and done somewhere you wouldn't mind getting a little messy (e.g. over the sink). The bottle is quite small and I find I go through a bottle relatively quickly and have to replace it often, however this isn't really an issue as it's a very affordable product.

Onto the product itself: I've been using it on my face over the dry flaky parts for a couple of months now (and sometimes use it on dry patches on my arms and legs, such as elbows and knees). I apply it every night before I go to sleep. I have noticed a big difference in my skin, and it is now a lot less dry and the dry flaky areas are almost completely gone. My face also suffers from lots of breakouts, and while I haven't found that the oil reduces the breakouts, the skin around the blemishes seems calmer and less red and irritated. My skin is very sensitive so when I first apply it my cheeks can go a little red, however it's gone within a couple of minutes and when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels very healthy and glowy and the redness around my breakouts has been minimised. A little of this oil can go a long way, and you only need a couple of drops for your whole face, as it is very moisturising and it takes a minute or so to absorb into your skin. A huge plus of this product is that it's not thick at all and once it is applied and absorbed I can't feel it on my skin.

Overall, I am a huge fan of this product (although the smell gets a major thumbs-down) and I would definitely repurchase this again.

I like this Rosehip oil, it is easy to purchase and has a good price point at the supermarket. I use it after derma-rolling, and in my opinion it helps to heal my old acne scars and reduce the redness of the derma-rolling.
