What exactly does rosehip oil do to your face?

Rosehip oil can also work to fight acne as it contains retinoids. “Retinoids exert an effect similar to Retin-A, regulating cell turnover in such a way that reduces follicular plugging and the formation of blackheads,” explains Howe. Ultimately, using retinoids on your skin can help you achieve a brighter, clearer complexion.

Incredibly, rosehips are also said to prevent stretch marks. Speaking of a recent study, which tested rosehip cream on stretch marks, Howe revealed that those who used rosehip cream during their pregnancies were less likely to get stretch marks in the first place, and if they already had some stripes, they discovered that they didn’t get worse.  

With so many natural skin benefits, it’s definitely worth a try.
