I have odd skin, spotty but not oily. Extremely dry only in two patches either side of my chin and I'm always told my forehead is slightly dehydrated. Occasionally my face is so sensitive that my normal face products sting on application and every now and then I get eczema around my lips - aargh! Combination skin at its finest!
Recently I've been conscious of using more natural products and started using olive oil and coconut oil more in my skincare routine and not just in my dinner (!). The Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil was highly recommended on many reviews and contains 80% essential fatty acid (omega 3 and 6) and fatty acid (omega 9).
The label says it is for nourishment, repair and hydration and I completely agree that it does all three for my skin.
It comes with a pipette squeezer as a few drops go a long way. Cleanse and tone face and then before (or instead of) moisturiser massage a few drops into your skin. It is non greasy and so so gentle on the skin. This stuff saved me when I was travelling around Asia and outside for hours everyday sightseeing. It calmed sunburn, windburn, air con, long haul flights, raw nostril skin from colds/hayfever etc. I also had a slight mishap with a Korea face mask that I purchased in Seoul which totally fried my face. As soon as I'd put it on it started burning and I washed it off immediately but the damage was done. My face was red and swollen and this Trilogy Rosehip oil was AMAZING at soothing my angry skin.
Other than in skin emergencies, I use it every couple of days at night before a night cream and the next morning my skin wakes up looking refreshed and hydrated.
It's a dark yellow colour that looks a bit like sunflower oil and surprisingly it does not smell like roses! It has a faint smell of musty oil (if that makes sense) but barely noticeable.
It doesn't cause spots for me and is my go to for when my skin is feeling highly sensitised. Apparently it is also good to use on young scars to help fade the redness.
I love it!
