## Key ingredients

Rosa Canina Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil

## What the research says

- Topical treatments containing rosehip extract may reduce the size and erythema of postsurgical scars through macrophage polarization and inflammatory cytokine inhibition, though current clinical evidence remains insufficient to recommend its routine use. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37605366/))
- Sunflower and rosehip oil nanoemulsions prepared with a mix of phospholipids and synthetic emulsifiers permeated intact skin to the dermis and showed a more prominent healing effect in a human organotypic skin explant culture wound model compared to nanoemulsions prepared only with phospholipids. ([Pharmaceutics, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36986857/))
- A nanoemulsion containing 1 mg/mL kojic dipalmitate and 5% rosehip oil demonstrated high incorporation efficiency, suitable physicochemical stability, antioxidant and depigmenting efficacy close to 1 mM ascorbic acid, and no cytotoxicity at concentrations from 0.06% to 1% in vitro. ([Pharmaceutics, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36839792/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil for oily skin?

This oil provides only moderate moisture that may not be ideal for managing excess shine on oily skin. A product for this skin needs lightweight hydrating agents and peptides, along with soothing ingredients and no heavy oils to support the skin without adding extra oiliness.

### Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for oily skin?

Rosa Canina Seed Oil makes this treatment a poor fit for oily skin because its heavy moisturizing action may not be ideal for managing excess sebum. A product for this skin needs lightweight hydrating agents, soothing extracts, and peptides that support the skin barrier without heavy oils.

### What does Rosehip Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Rosehip seed oil helps balance oily skin by providing lightweight moisture that absorbs quickly without clogging pores. It leaves your face feeling smooth and soft while helping to calm redness and keep your skin looking clear.

### Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, but oily skin needs a lightweight, oil-controlling product with ingredients like niacinamide instead.

### Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this treatment with retinol by applying the retinol first and following it with this oil in your evening routine. This helps keep your skin soft and smooth, though oily skin generally needs lighter, oil-free hydrators and balancing ingredients that manage excess shine without heavy oils.

### How often should I use it?

You should use it in your evening routine, as a poor match for oily skin that needs lighter hydration and ingredients that help manage excess sebum.

### Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

Yes, this treatment may cause breakouts for oily skin because the oil can feel greasy and is not ideal for managing excess sebum. A product for this skin needs lightweight, oil-free ingredients that hydrate without adding extra weight or blocking pores.

### Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

This oil may be used on the body, but it is best to be cautious around the eyes since the skin there is extremely thin. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and fast-absorbing ingredients that smooth texture without feeling too heavy on delicate areas.
