If you’re not familiar with (or, frankly, skeptical of) rosehip oil, this stuff is adored by many Amazon reviewers and Reddit users alike — and for good reason.
You can use rosehip oil as a non-greasy moisturizer for the scalp, face and nails. It’s loaded with omega-3, omega-6 and essential fatty acids, which all can help moisturize and maintain your skin’s elasticity. It’s safe enough for hair, hands and nails and to apply directly onto your face after cleansing.
Rosehip oil said to hydrate and moisturize your face on those dryer, cold days outdoors, and several users can back that up.
“I’m so glad I purchased this product,” says one reviewer who says they use it to combat dull, dry skin. “I’ve used it for around 2 weeks now and not only does my skin stay hydrated all day (even on cold days), it looks much brighter as well.”
“This oil has become a staple in my skincare and haircare routine,” explains another review. “I use it at night on my face in place of a moisturizer, and it sinks in beautifully without leaving that greasy film some oils have. My skin feels softer, looks more hydrated, and I’ve even noticed my makeup goes on smoother the next day. On my hair, I use just a couple of drops on the ends to help with frizz and add shine—it doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it look oily. It’s also amazing for cuticles and dry hands, especially in the winter.”
