The Ordinary Rosehip Oil – 100% Organic Cold-Pressed

When your skin is showing signs of severe dehydration, dullness, or premature aging, lightweight water-based moisturizers often fall short of delivering the profound nourishment your lipid barrier craves. To truly lock in hydration and restore a youthful, radiant complexion, you need the concentrated power of pure botanical oils. The highly celebrated, minimalist formulation of The Ordinary Rosehip Oil – 100% Organic Cold-Pressed provides a beautifully elegant, nature-derived solution. Masterfully crafted to bridge the gap between intense moisturization and advanced anti-aging care, this luxurious daily facial oil actively targets visible signs of photo-aging while leaving your skin feeling remarkably supple, plump, and flawlessly glowing.

The true brilliance of this highly restorative oil lies in its exceptionally pure, uncompromising extraction process. It features 100% Rosa Canina Seed Oil that is strictly cold-pressed rather than extracted using high heat. Heat extraction degrades the precious nutrients, but cold-pressing ensures that the oil retains its maximum, unadulterated concentration of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and pro-vitamin A. Because this oil is completely unrefined, it retains its natural, earthy aroma—a true testament to its absolute purity. Whether you are seeking to fade the appearance of fine lines, balance oil production in acne-prone skin, or soothe a compromised barrier, this vegan and cruelty-free oil is an indispensable daily essential.

The Ordinary Rosehip Oil Key Benefits

• Targets Signs of Aging: Exceptionally rich in naturally occurring pro-vitamin A, which actively encourages cellular turnover to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and photo-aging.
• Profound Hydration: Packed with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) that powerfully support and repair the skin’s delicate moisture barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss.
• Balances Acne-Prone Skin: Because it is high in linoleic acid (which acne-prone skin often lacks), it helps to beautifully regulate natural sebum production without clogging pores.
• 100% Pure & Cold-Pressed: Extracted without the use of destructive heat, ensuring the delicate vitamins and antioxidants are preserved at their absolute peak potency.
• Promotes an Even Tone: Regular use helps to naturally illuminate the complexion, fading the appearance of dark spots, dullness, and old acne scars.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Formulated strictly without water, alcohol, silicone, or gluten, making it a highly reliable and clean addition to your nighttime routine.

Key Ingredients in The Ordinary Rosehip Oil

• 100% Rosa Canina Seed Oil: The sole, powerhouse ingredient. It is an exceptionally nutrient-dense botanical oil sourced from the seeds of rose bushes, globally celebrated for its high concentration of pro-vitamin A, antioxidants, and skin-repairing omega fatty acids.
• (Note: Because this product is completely unrefined and natural, its exact color and natural scent may vary slightly from batch to batch depending on the harvest).

How to Use The Ordinary Rosehip Oil

Step 1: Cleanse and Treat

Begin your evening routine by cleansing your face and applying any of your active, water-based serums (such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide).

Step 2: Apply the Oil

Dispense 2 to 3 drops of The Ordinary Rosehip Oil into the palms of your clean hands.

Step 3: Press into the Skin

Gently press and massage the oil onto your entire face and neck. Applying it as the final step in your routine helps to beautifully seal in the moisture from your underlying products.

Step 4: Allow to Absorb

Allow the oil a few minutes to fully absorb into the skin before going to sleep to reveal a remarkably soft, glowing complexion by morning.

Important Note

• Natural Earthy Scent: Because this oil is 100% organic, cold-pressed, and completely unrefined, it has a distinct, natural earthy aroma (sometimes described as slightly nutty or similar to tea leaves). This scent is not a sign of expiration; it is proof of the oil’s high purity and quality!
• UV Protective Packaging: The Ordinary specially packages this oil in a UV-protective dark amber glass bottle to prevent the delicate fatty acids and vitamins from degrading in sunlight. Always store it in a cool, dark place.
• When to Use: It is highly recommended to use this oil predominantly in your PM (evening) routine.

FAQs

Will applying oil to my face make my acne worse?

No, Rosehip Seed Oil is highly unique because it is incredibly rich in linoleic acid. Research shows that people with acne-prone skin often have a deficiency in linoleic acid, which makes their natural sebum thick and pore-clogging. Applying this oil actually helps thin out your natural sebum, balancing your skin and preventing breakouts.

Why does it smell earthy instead of like roses?

This oil is extracted from the seeds (the “hips”) of the rose bush, not the flower petals. Therefore, it does not smell like a floral perfume. It is completely unrefined and free of artificial fragrances, so it retains its natural, earthy, seed-like aroma.

Where does this go in my skincare routine?

Skincare should always be applied from thinnest to thickest. Because this is an oil, it should be applied after all of your water-based serums and treatments. It can be applied either immediately before your moisturizer, or mixed into your moisturizer for a luxurious boost.
