When Victoria Beckham, Kourtney Kardashian, and the Duchess of Cambridge all use the same rosehip oil face serum, best believe we sit up and take notes. And it’s not because we think all celebs are skincare experts, but rather because they have access to the very best dermatologists and products, not to mention their *glowing* red-carpet-ready skin, so why wouldn’t we take their advice?

　　This skin nourishing product is praised for its anti-inflammatory, glow-giving and hydrating properties and with so many amazing benefits, rosehip oil has a place in every skincare routine, no matter your skin type.

　　Why rosehip oil is the best make-up remover - and why you should add it to your shopping basket ASAP Review by Closer fashion and beauty product writer, Ruby Barry: When a friend recommended I try rosehip oil as a make-up remover, I quite frankly, scoffed. I struggled enough removing waterproof mascara with micellar water and a (very worn down) flannel - how on earth was Rosehip going to help? Well, consider my life changed because Ill never use anything else to remove my make-up now.

　　As written by beauty experts Curology, rosehip oil, made from a fruit that grows on certain rose shrubs is a non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t tend to cause breakouts, and it can be used to help remove makeup and excess sebum (that’s the oil on your skin that your body naturally produces).

　　All I do, after a long day of caked-on makeup, is lather up my rosehip oil in my hands (any old rosehip oil will do, I use the Q+A Rosehip Oil but they all function the same) and rub into my face for around 30 seconds to a minute, and wash up with a flannel and warm water. And thats...it. Thats all you need to do. And it removes everything. Waterproof mascara, eyeliner, lipstick. All gone - poof. Disappeared. All that is left is nourished, dewy skin. You can leave it as is if you have dry skin, but if youre oil-prone, you can finish off by double cleansing with a foaming cleanser.

　　Truly, your life will be changed by this simple product. Thank me later.

　　If you’re releasing a deep sigh at the thought of having to do research on yet another ingredient and whether it actually works, you can refrain this time around. We’ve done all the hard work for you and asked three different skin experts to break down everything there is to know about this skincare powerhouse.

　　What exactly is rosehip oil? Rosehip oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of wild rose bushes,” says CEO and founder of Formulae Prescott, Pauline Prescott. “It’s renowned for its high content of essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, making it a skincare superstar.”

　　What are the benefits? Rosehip oil helps to fade scars and firm the skin, says Antipodes founder, Elizabeth Barbalich. She went on to explain that it contains polyphenols and vitamin E, which provide anti-inflammatory action that offers relief from redness, as well as vitamin A to support collagen production to soften the appearance of fine lines.

　　Which skin type benefits most from using rosehip oil? Finding the right oil for your skin type can often feel like a trial-and-error system. Happily, rosehip oil is beneficial for all skin types, but especially for those who suffer from acne. It helps to smooth the appearance of acne and acne scars, at the same time as softening and nourishing the skin,” says Elizabeth. It’s lightweight and has a high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids (also known as linoleic acid), which makes it particularly helpful for those with acne-prone skin, as deficiency of linoleic acid is linked to the development of acne. According to Elizabeth, this product also helps to strengthen the skin barrier.

The key to using this oil product is that a little goes a long way. Just 2-3 drops are usually enough, so if you’re finding that you’re left with an oily residue on your skin after applying, you’re likely using too much. Warm the product between your fingertips and gently massage it into your skin.

　　Potential side effects? Rosehip oil is organic and naturally derived, so it shouldn’t really cause any side effects or irritation. Nevertheless, Cosmetic Chemist at Mario Badescu, Britney Pereira, says that those with sensitive skin should still be cautious.

　　“Individual responses to any skincare product can vary,” Says Britney. “So doing a patch test and monitoring your skin’s reaction is advisable.”

　　No matter what your skin concerns are, you can benefit from using this product regularly. From soothing redness and blemishes to treating wrinkles and stretch marks, it’s truly one of the most nourishing and hydrating oils out there.
