What it actually does

• One ingredient, nothing diluting it. The whole formula is rose hip seed oil, which makes it simple to slot in and easy to rule in or out if your skin reacts to something.
• Supports hydrated, healthy-looking skin and works on the visible signs of photo ageing, according to the brand.
• It smells, and that is the point. The brand explains the natural scent comes partly from the high omega fatty acid content of an unrefined oil — it is not a sign the oil has gone off. A scentless rose hip oil has been refined and, per the brand, delivers less.
• Packaged to stay stable. It comes in UV-protective packaging, which matters for a raw cold-pressed oil.

How to use

1. Once a day, at night. This is the brand's suggested routine placement.
2. Water-based steps first. Apply your watery treatments and serums, then seal with the oil — oil does not let water through in the other direction.
3. A few drops is plenty. Warm them between your palms and press over the face.
4. Store it away from heat and light, and keep the cap on properly.

Questions

Mine has a strong smell — has it expired?

Almost certainly not. The brand is explicit that the natural scent comes from the omega fatty acids in an unrefined oil and is not evidence of rancidity. Rose hip oils with no smell at all have been refined, and the brand says refining reduces what the oil offers.

Morning or night?

The brand suggests once daily and ideally at bedtime, after your water-based treatments have gone on.

Can oily skin use it?

It is listed as suitable for oily skin alongside the other types. Start with one or two drops at night and see how your skin responds before using more.
