Owned and operated by Bioak LLC Product Review: The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
An affordable, no-frills organic rosehip oil from The Ordinary.
What it is
A single-ingredient face oil from The Ordinary, the Canadian brand known for simple, affordable formulas. Inside is just organic, cold-pressed rosehip seed oil (Rosa canina). Cold pressing extracts the oil without heat, which helps preserve its fatty acids.
What it’s for
- Dry or dehydrated skin. The oil is rich in linoleic acid, which helps soften skin and support its barrier.
- Uneven texture and marks. Rosehip oil is widely used on scars and dark marks, and early research on scars is encouraging.
- A simple, budget-friendly routine. One clean ingredient at a low price.
How to use it
Apply a few drops to your face in the evening, after water-based serums. You can also use it in the morning before sunscreen. Patch-test first if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Who should skip it
People with fungal acne or seborrheic dermatitis: plant oils like rosehip can feed the yeast involved and make things worse.
The bottom line
Hard to beat for the price. If you want to try rosehip oil without spending much, start here.
What I like
- Very affordable
- Single, clean ingredient
- Easy to layer with other products
Keep in mind
- Not suited to fungal acne
- Can feel rich on very oily skin
Common questions
Both are single-ingredient organic rosehip seed oils. The Ordinary's is the budget pick; Trilogy's is the premium, certified-organic classic.
As the last step of your routine at night, or before sunscreen in the morning. A few drops is enough.
