member Stoppit mentioned it’s benefits here, I haven’t bought the oil yet but i realized the vitamin c tablets that i’ve been crushing to apply to my skin for the last couple months had rose hip all this time, it has helped a bit with evening out skin tone where there was a tiny bit of discoloration but not sure if the oil has a stronger effect.
Any positive experiences from anybody here with Rose Hip Oil?
^there you are, stoppit :), i'm just wondering if i should buy it now or wait a while, I'm on a tight budget this month b/c i lost to a couple temptations on amazon, so for a month i'm on a spending freeze but the oil is on my wishlist on amazon
if the effects are that incredible i'm thinking of buying it
Is it the trilogy one? I think it's too expensive.... it's only 20-30ml and that amount doesn't last me too long at all.
I'd rather get the 100ml + dropper bottle from naturally thinking. I think shipping was something like $7. Details are in that thread. Or find a similar company based in the US.
I wouldn't use a cream or expect the same results as from the actual oil.
Princessjojo - yes, that's the right one.
Pepsi - Rosehip is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it's not nearly as strong. A couple of people, including myself have sensitive skin and haven't had a problem with it. It's very light as well.
I recommend using it combined with the witch hazel hydrolat as described in the thread I linked. Makes it much easier and more pleasant to apply to the face.
i’m so tempted to buy the oil…talking to myself…i won’t buy anything much next month…i’ll be totally good in december…there’s nothing talking me out of buying it so buying it is the only option right this second…i’ll just have to buy it
Hey Daffy, you can use it everywhere, it just helps fade hyperpigmentation, it doesn't lighten your overall skin tone but does make it smoother and fresher.
I've been using it on my knees and it's helped a lot. I'm not sure about the underarms because usually they are grey because of the hair below the surface. If you read my Laser thread, you will get some idea about hair growth. Not all hair is present at any given time (even when it looks like you have maximum growth) so even after a wax, you will have hairs that are still below the surface, these cause the area to be darker in colour because the density and thickness in the underarms is so high.
i got my rose hip seed oil in the mail.....woohoo! i shall apply it and we'll see if it has any effect on that one area of discoloration, will report back

I don't think its done much in terms of discoloration but I have found it much better than any moisturizer so far.

Same here. Have been using it twice a day. I think I do see benefits, but not sure. But I really really like it as a moisturizer and would probably continue using it even if I never see any improvements of discoloration or fading of scars. Have been meaning to get some witch hazel to use with it but keep forgetting, will try to pick some up this weekend
