Product Review: Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

What it is

Trilogy is a New Zealand skin-care brand, and this rosehip oil is its best-known product. The formula is as simple as it gets: 100% certified organic rosehip seed oil (Rosa canina), with nothing added.

What it’s for

Rosehip oil is a go-to for:

• Dry, tight skin. Its fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, help soften skin and support the skin barrier.
• Scars and marks. A 2024 review of studies on post-surgical scars found rosehip oil safe, with possible benefits for redness, texture and pigmentation.
• Fine lines and dull skin, as part of a nourishing evening routine.

How to use it

Warm two or three drops between your fingertips and press them into clean, slightly damp skin. Use it alone or mix a drop into your moisturizer. It can also be used on stretch marks and on older scars that have fully healed.

Who should skip it

If you have fungal acne or seborrheic dermatitis, plant oils like this one can make things worse.

The bottom line

A pure, certified organic rosehip oil from a brand that helped make the ingredient famous. Simple, effective for dry skin, and a classic for a reason.
