Product Review! Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil!


I have another sponsored product review here for you!

For a couple of weeks, I have been trying out Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil. Let's jump right into the review!


Velentia Organic Rosehip Oil Review!

A little about Valentia's Organic Rosehip Oil:

- 100% Organic
- Contains Vitamin C and E (always a plus!)
- Said to reduce fine lines and wrinkles 
- Said to reduce scars and burns.
- Rehydrates Skin 
- Strengthens Hair and Nails 



I'm not going to lie, I had my doubts about this oil. I had never tried a Rosehip oil before and upon opening the bottle, I felt it was a bit too viscous of a liquid for me. And it kind of had a funky smell. 

As you can see, it is very thick:



So, I opted only to use it as a serum at night every other day. I decided to stop my usual night products to give the Rosehip Oil a chance. Plus, I didn't want to over do it.

Disregarding the color and the smell, the first thing I noticed about the application of the oil was the fact that regardless of the viscosity of the liquid, it almost felt like a dry oil. And was reminiscent of applying a primer. I was very surprised at this application texture and it really assuaged my worries of it being too oily. I'm not known to be a huge fan of straight oils. It dried very quickly and left my skin immediately feeling softer and more supple. 

After using the Rosehip oil for a week, I was actually kind of proud of how soft my skin felt at night and upon waking. And I broke the cardinal rule of touching my face way too much.

And it has been helping a lot with the dryness I get around my eye brows in the winter- which I have basically given up trying to deal with after years of Sisyphean battles. Good. I'm like the only person I know who gets flaky eyebrows and it's embarrassing.

I like this oil. I personally have to use it incredibly sparingly. Like 1 or 2 drops on my face and I don't feel like I get a lot of control with this bottle's particular dropper.

It also works very well as a hand and body oil. It has done wonders for my very dry, cracked winter hands that I've been working on fixing as well. And, I've also noticed my cuticles have been less likely to tear- which is a year round nightmare for me. 

That being said, unless extremely diluted with water or other products, I think this is too think to use on my typically oily, fine hair. Though I may look into some hair mask recipes to use it with.

I am going to keep using it as a night oil though because it has definitely grown on me!
