BrighteningAnti-agingMoisturising
“A vitamin-rich facial oil high in linoleic acid for brightening and anti-ageing.”
What it does
Rosehip oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Rosa canina hips. It is exceptionally high in linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), fatty acids that are often deficient in acne-prone skin. It also contains natural trans-retinoic acid (a retinoid precursor), vitamin E, and anthocyanins. The linoleic acid content helps regulate sebum composition and fade hyperpigmentation.
Benefits
- High linoleic acid content helps regulate sebum and reduce breakouts
- Natural retinoid precursors support cellular renewal
- Brightens hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory marks
- Antioxidant vitamins E and C protect against free radical damage
- Improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines
