essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

This was a little too much on my skin, which is strange because my skin generally loves oils. It did not soak into my skin at all, however it did add a little something extra when I mixed it in with my night cream. I honestly didn't notice any benefits, but there also weren't any negative side effects.

This product is presented in a nice glass bottle with a dropper. I found this oil to be a bit thicker than other ones I have used and had quite a strong smell which I didn’t like. Whilst it is easy to apply, I didn’t find that it absorbed into my skin as well as another brand I have used and it also felt a bit heavy and greasy.

I’m not sure that it minimised the appearance of fine lines around my eyes but they didn’t look any worse either. Despite the greasiness, I feel it still hydrated my skin but it took a while to absorb, and it didn’t work that well with putting moisturiser on afterward which I like to do to kee

i was given a bottle of this from a friend for a birthday, as she knew i liked my oils and thought i might like to give this one a go. i had seen it in store but hadn't really given it a second thought, as most essano skin care products make my skin misbehave.

i love oils that come with droppers, they just seem so much fancier than a pump, so that was a huge win for me. i also thought the size of the bottle was pretty good too, and i found out it came in a bigger size which was great.

the oil itself was nice enough, nothing like trilogy's rosehip which i am accustomed to and prefer, but it was nice. it felt heavier than trilogy and i didn't think it absorbed as fast. the one thing i truly despised though was the smell. R A N K. didn't like it and i put off using it because of the smell. it lingered for much longer than i would have liked and i just hated it. in the end i gave the bottle away because i couldn't deal with the smell anymore.

this oil didn't make my skin breakout as much, but there were a few tiny dots here and there. i tried to like you but i just couldn't :'(

I received a generous sample of this (along with the moisturiser) a couple of months ago and decided to give it a go... I have VERY dry skin/eczema which means I am always very hesitant to put anything on my face - I react to almost everything (including all natural products). I was pleasantly surprised that my skin seemed to tolerate this okay. As far as smell goes, there wasn't much of one, just a faint oil smell (like cooking oil I suppose). I applied at night mostly to the uneven, wrinkly and dry patches around my eyes and mouth. At the time it left my skin feeling nice and hydrated but it would always go back to looking/feeling dry by morning. I imagine if I had normal skin or skin that is easily irritated this could be a great product but speaking from the dry camp it really didn't do a heck of a lot and I gave it a good 2 week trial run.

I'd never used Rosehip Oil before, so Essano Rosehip Oil was my first and to be honest, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. When I thought of Rosehip Oil, I thought of something pleasant-smelling and possibly rose-scented ... I understand that this is apparently a very common misconception!

Having no idea of what to expect, I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the bottle that I'd bought and that I’d received old stock past its expiry date and ended up with rancid oil. But, this was not so! After a bit of research, I found out that the smell of Rosehip Oil varies from person to person depending on your nose. To some people it has a warm, earthly smell, while to others it can smell quite fishy.

Unfortunately, I am one of those who fall into the "fishy" category. I had already massaged a few drops onto my face after showering and had applied my moisturiser on top, per the instructions on the bottle. Initially I didn't think too much of the smell, washed my hands and went to relax for a while before going to bed. Every now and then I got a whiff of this strong fishy smell. I hunted all over for the source of the smell; looking in the kitchen, sniffing the air outside thinking that maybe one of our neighbours was cooking fish, even checking the cat’s food bowl to see if I’d forgotten to wash it, but I couldn't find the source! An hour went by and I could still smell it! It was only then that I wondered if it could be the Rosehip Oil and went to sniff the bottle.

After that experience, I only applied the oil directly before going to bed and didn't reapply it in the morning! The smell aside, it did leave my skin feeling soft, nourished and hydrated. It was easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue. Even though I do have oily skin, it is often a little dehydrated and by applying my moisturiser on top of the oil, it assisted in helping my skin to absorb and retain more of the nourishing and moisturising properties (oil needs water to be absorbed into the skin and most moisturisers are water based).

I wish so badly that I could write a good review for this product! I've heard SO many stories about how rosehip oil is a miracle product and has saved so many women from issues ranging from wrinkles to acne scarring and everything in between. Well, I've gone through a whole bottle of the stuff and noticed zero difference in my sensitive-combination skin. It provided my skin with a good amount of moisture after cleansing, but other than that I saw no improvements in terms of my skin's redness, scarring, etc. The results I've had from this product have been the same as I'd get from any cheap moisturiser. Going back to my favourite moisturiser, Celestial by Lush, instead.

I purchased this to try as a treat for my skin before bed. I could have just been a placebo but when I would wake up in the morning I felt like my skin did look plumper and more moisturised. However I don't agree that it's non-greasy or quickly absorbed...it would sit on my skin for a long time so watch you don't end up with it all over your pillow. It's a good oil for its price, but personally I don't think my combination skin needed quite so much oil, and I also couldn't stand the smell. I switched to a Glow Lab night cream after this instead and am much happier with its performance.
