Why you'll love it: If you're looking for a facial oil that nourishes and soothes sensitive skin, opt for The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil.
I must admit I was nervous the first time I tried a facial oil. I couldn't get my head around using oil on my sensitive skin, in case it reacted or even worse, I broke out. If you have sensitive skin like me, it's best to choose a facial oil that is made from simple ingredients and free of potentially toxic synthetic chemicals, which can irritate your skin and cause reactions or breakouts. You should also avoid essential oils as they might irritate your skin.
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil is made from one single ingredient, organic rosehip seed oil, an extremely mild oil known for its healing properties.
This facial oil has many benefits for your skin. It is rich in linoleic (omega 6) acid, linolenic (omega 3) acid and pro-vitamin A, and is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. It may reduce the signs of sun damage, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and target dryness.
It is also suitable for even the most sensitive skin, and can even be used on eczema. The oil is cold-pressed to extract it from the rosehips, preserving its quality and delivering maximum benefits. For only $10, it's a bargain.
When I tested The Ordinary 100% Organic Rose Hip Seed Oil, it felt light and silky. I loved how smooth, healthy, and naturally glowing my skin looked. It does have a distinctive natural scent, which according to The Ordinary is due to the oil being completely unrefined and the high omega fatty acid content, but some buyers reported to find the smell off-putting.
This highly rated facial oil is one of Health.com's best rosehip oil products and is recommended by Refinery 29. It also gets 4.6 out of 5 on Influenster.
Pros: Great for all skin types including sensitive skin, 100% pure, very affordable, sustainably sourced, organic, vegan, cruelty-free, cold-pressed, free from artificial preservatives
Cons: Some might not like the scent
