What are the benefits of rosehip oil?
Rosehip oil is known for its ability to add radiance, improve moisture levels and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It also has a low comedogenic rating of 1, meaning it's unlikely to clog your pores.
"Rosehip oil has proved extremely popular with our customers due to its abundance of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which may help to hydrate dry skin," says Hannah Moffitt, a Holland & Barrett Nutritionist. "The oil is also high in vitamin C, which is needed to produce collagen, a naturally occurring protein found in the body which can help support the elasticity and flexibility of the skin."
"Our customers often choose oils as part of their skincare routine as they tend to be non-greasy and light, absorbing into skin rapidly to provide optimum moisture,' Moffitt adds. "This means they're great for multiple uses, from a deep hydrating treat last thing at night, to keeping your skin's moisture levels topped up on-the-go.”
