Reddit reviews Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil USDA Certified Organic, 4 oz. - 100% Pure & Cold Pressed. All Natural Anti-Aging Moisturizing Treatment for Face, Hair, Skin & Nails, Acne Scars, Wrinkles, Dry Spots

Hey ScA! Found a few products that I wanted to add to my routine through reccs here and research so I thought I'd share them. I have combination skin, Fitzpatrick type IV, and my daily struggles are mainly with hyperpigmentation, a wonky texture on my forehead, and hydration. If you have any friendly advice, warnings, criticisms, I'm all ears. :)

-From Left to Right-

• Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil: Bought mainly for the linoleic acid. The bottle is huge, the dropper is nice, and it should last a while sitting in its nook in my fridge.
  
• Peach Slices Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow: a gel moisturizer with a light, citrus scent that absorbs like lightning and sits well under my sunscreen. I'm patch testing this right now but I'm very happy with it. Confession: shamelessly bought for the packaging.
  
• CVS samples! :)
  
• Timeless 100% Pure Squalane Oil: emollient, comes in a glass bottle and I'm probably going to mix a few drops in with my moisturizers or use it in its own step.
  
• AmLactin AHA Body Lotion: My boyfriend and I both suffer from keratosis pilaris, so we're giving this a shot in conjunction with a daily SPF on the arms.
  
• Biore Perfect UV Face Milk: This is a repurchase, it lasts surprisingly long for only being 30 ml (then again, I don't reapply, tsk tsk), is cosmetically elegant, and though there's a bit of a white cast, it goes away after a few minutes even on my darker skin. It is a bit drying, though, which makes sense since its supposed to be a matte sunscreen but I might replace it when I get around to it. Still highly recommend, especially for oily skin!
  
  Also picked up some cod liver oil. Will it do anything for my skin? Uh, maybe! Mom's been getting on me about my omega-3s so I humored her. :)

Basically everything has been a skincare fail for me lately.

• Fresh Black Tea Essence. Fail. I didn't see any results at all.
  
• Stridex green box. Major fail. I broke out all over and got an actual cyst, which has never happened before. This is at the 0.5% concentration so I can only imagine how bad red box would be.
  
• Konjac sponge. Not so much a fail, just had to stop using it after I wrecked my face with Stridex.
  
• Garnier Micellar Foaming Face Wash. Too drying.
  
  Some wins:
  
  
• CosRX 96 Snail Mucin. SUPER WIN. It's so hydrating!
  
• Radha Beauty rosehip oil. My friend let me try this and it's amazing! I have learned after 27 years I have combo skin, not oily, not (strictly speaking) dehydrated, so I'm quadrupling down on moisturizing.
  
  My goal is to go 30 days without introducing anything new into my routine, which is hard as I still have lots of little closed comedones and the occasional hormonal zit I want to zap with something harsh. But literally every acid I've ever tried (outside of glycolic, which I stupidly didn't think was working well enough so I quit using it, and azelaic, which I've yet to try) has devastated my face. After 30 days I may try glycolic again or order a low concentration azelaic. I quit r/skincareaddiction. It was too much.

I put Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil ($14.95) on any stretchmarks or scars -- basically slathering most of my torso with the oil. It doesn't smell at all and absorbs into my skin all night under a loose cotton nightgown. I haven't gotten it on my sheets yet, so not sure if it will stain linens.

I also use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion for Dry Skin ($7.74) on my forearms, elbows (I have a patch of psoriasis on my left elbow and this is the first lotion that has felt like it's actually helping) and on my feet. (After every shower I use Queen Helene Cocoa Butter [$4.19] as well, btw.)

For really dry face skin, I would use the following:

1. Rosehip oil (5 drops)
   
   
2. Belif moisturizing bomb moisturizer
   
   
3. Laneige water sleeping mask at night
   
   Those are a few of my tried-and-true products, but your mileage may vary. Hop on over to /r/Skincare_Addiction and find out what would suit your skin best! Everyone has different skincare needs, and that sub has a treasure trove of knowledge.

Prepare her with all the hydrating products you possibly can! Here are some I rely on to get through the day:

• Aquaphor Healing Ointment. If her nose gets dry and begins bleeding through the night (happened to me 2 months in) put a little bit in the nostrils before bed. I use this for my lips because they will get progressively more dry and cracked throughout the course.
  
• CeraVe products work well for me (facial cleanser, moisturizer, and night cream)
  
• Eye drops. I had severe dry eye that caused blurry vision 1 month in. I was told to stop wearing my contacts and use non-preservative eyedrops (artificial tears)
  
• For help with clearing up the scarring/redness, I would suggest using Organic Cold-Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil, which can be found on Amazon. This is the one I use. The Ordinary is also a good brand -- they have Rosehip Oil, as well as a Hyaluronic Acid which is GREAT for keeping the skin hydrated.
  
• If she's going to wear makeup, using hydrating products is a must! I posted a comment on this thread with more info
  
  I hope this helps!
  
  Also, at one point I was drinking two gallons of water per day lol

No worries! I love talking about this stuff.

This is the stuff that I use - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LNOV8JO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481387827&sr=8-1&keywords=rosehip+seed+oil&pi=SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41wxmi9WPEL&ref=plSrch

And how much I use varies - usually between four and six drops. I got my bottle in May and I have about half of it left. I also will occasionally use it as a makeup remover. It takes a few minutes to sink in! I can't say enough good things about this oil

Skin Type: dry, red, rosacea-prone

Country/Climate I'm in: New England. All year.

Although the smell is weird I like it better than my last bottle by Life Flo

I use a few drops of rosehip oil mixed in with my moisturizer AM and PM. I find that my skin feels more moisturized than using moisturizer alone or using the two separately. Not the miraculous results others have seen, but it's a part of my routine that I plan on keeping. I started with a small bottle of Oilology that I had gotten for a few dollars at Marshalls, and recently ordered a larger bottle of Radha Beauty off of Amazon.

I have redness from drying out my skin/ destroying my moisture barrier (used Differin without moisturizing properly omfg why). I think your routine is simple, but could do with more hydration layers!

I got rid of all actives for 2 months. I simply washed my face with Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, Hada Lobo Hydrating Lotion, CosRX 97% Snail Mucin Essence, The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Cream, and then Etude House Soonjun Recovery Barrier Cream.

I think the red marks are there as inflammation and irritation. I would add some sort of Hyaluronic Acid (Hada Lobo Hada Lobo Gokujun Hylaronic Acid Moist) to help attract water and promote hydration instead of drying out the skin. Put this in the morning and night after cleansing, and then layer your serums, essences, and moisturizer on top of it.

In addition, maybe changing Cetaphil to Cerave Hydrating Cleanser (if you are interested- I personally found Cetaphil way too drying and exacerbating my redness).

Finally, I would also look into Innisfree Green Tea Serum to reduce redness. Many MANY people have said great things about Rosehip Oil. For me, Rosehip Oil was the game changer- it reduced redness dramatically (it's still there, but I don't look like I'm wearing red pain on my cheeks- and I'm a brown-skinned girl, so redness just stands out). I'm thriving off a sample of Pai Rosehip Oil. It's $40, so once my sample runs out, I think I'm going to hop on the Radha Rosehip Oil train.

Finally, you should add some sort of sleep mask to help with restoring your skin barrier. I just got Laneige Sleep Mask to help with hydration.

The Etude House Soonjung Line is really good for calming redness- I'm personally thinking about adding the Pathenoside Cica Balm to help with redness.

In addition, I've heard great thing about Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream.

P.S.: Don't add all of these products at once. I'm on month two of restoring my moisture barrier after eliminating all actives. When I added in a new product, I focused on adding one product per week. If I saw after the week my face got worse, I eliminated it.

rosehip oil is good for regenerating the skin, so for scarring, pigmentation, fine lines and aging. you just put it on your face before you go to bed. not OP so i don't know what brand she uses, i just use one i got from a local health store. you can get it fairly cheap on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Radha-Beauty-Rosehip-Oil-Certified/dp/B00LNOV8JO/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1500981726&sr=1-4&keywords=rosehip+seed+oil

Yes, it's the carrier. I use this rosehip oil, and this neem oil. You can use any carrier of your choosing, I prefer rosehip because it's great for oily skin, and it also helps with acne scarring and evening out skin tone.

Hope people see this, I need help...

Here's the link to the Rosehip I use from Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Radha-Beauty-USDA-Certified-Organic/dp/B00LNOV8JO/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1527706730&sr=1-5&keywords=rosehip

Would you mind taking a look and letting me know if this is what the TO one is? Again I'm confused by the labeling of "Rosehip" versus "Rosehip Seed." If there's a difference I want to get the TO one.

I try to keep mine simple while still doing what I can to prevent further damage. I didn't take care of my skin at all in my 20s so I'm undoing damage now, but the vitamin C serum and sunscreen combo have helped a ton. I have fairly sensitive skin, and it gets easily dehydrated as well.

Morning

• Wash with Clean and Clear Relaxing facewash. If my skin feels clean I skip this step.
  
  
• Spray Thayer's Rose Petal alcohol free toner. I love this toner, it minimizes the craters I have for pores a good bit.
  
  
• Cerave moisturizing lotion I also like Clinique Dramatically different moisturizing lotion but the Cerave works just as well and I get soooo much more for my money.
  
  
• Apply SolScents Clear Face sunscreen I can't find this one in stores and it's pricey so I've ordered a [biore] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SM99KY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) one from amazon to try out instead, a lot more affordable too.
  
  
  Evening
  
  
• Wash with Clean and Clear Relaxing facewash. It works just as well as the Clinique one for me.
  
  
• Spray the witch hazel toner again.
  
  
• Apply Vitamin C Serum.
  
  
• Followed by the Cerave moisturizing lotion again.
  
  Whenever my skin still gets dehydrated for whatever reason I apply Rosehip oil. Sometimes I do a chick pea flour + Turmeric mask which works great but is a bit drying so the oil helps a lot.

Has anyone used Radha Rosehip Seed Oil? I'm trying to choose a substitute from the list of TO dupes that is affordable / bulk / not fake / ships free with Amazon Prime. Price seems a little bit too good to be true, so just wanted to get a few opinions first! :)

roses are red,
violets are blue,

I don't like this day

but I'm not in dismay.

(sorry that was horrible but that's all I could come up with lol)

my item: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LNOV8JO/?coliid=IRVSO7SW6N2NV&colid=MIVX4LN1XKM6&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Trying to add to my routine. I have Oily skin.

AM:
Cerave Foaming Cleanser
Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM

PM:
Cerave Foaming Cleanser
Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM
Exfoliant: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Foaming Scrub

I'm looking into using my mom's clay mask once weekly, would this replace my neutrogena as an exfoliant? - its a Nurta-lift kaolin one, so i can just use water with it. It's this: https://www.amazon.com/Pharmagel-Nutra-Lift-Facial-Masque-6oz/dp/B005IAZNKO/ .

I'm also going to buy this rosehip oil to use after my Moisturizer. Does it look good? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LNOV8JO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2GFWEEOABZ6DB&psc=1 .

I've decided to get more serious in trying to combat by PIH and need some help in formulating a new skincare routine. I usually do my routine every 2 days after I shower and am treating PIH primarily on my chest, back and shoulders. Whatever I plan on using on my face I was also planning on using there too.

My main problem is trying to figure out when to apply a Brooklyn Botany Vitiman C Serum, TO Niacinamide, and Rosehip Oil. My theorized routine is as follows:

-----

CeraVe SA Body Wash

Eucerin In-Shower Body Lotion

Alpha Skin Care Body Lotion, 12% Glycolic AHA

To Ordinary Arbutin

CeraVa Moisturizing Cream (for face, back, shoulder and chest)

Some other generic lotion for everywhere else

Sunscreen

-----

Where should I fit the Serum, Niacinamide and Rosehip Oil, and why? I've been reading that the Serum could come after AHA, but it interferes with Niacinamide, which I have no idea where that would go and why it interferes. I also read that the Rosehip Oil can be mixed with my Moisturizing Cream; just add a few drops.

edit and addition - My current routine is a simple body wash, Alpha Skin Care AHA 10% and some Hydroquinone cream (both on face, shoulder, back and chest), Moisturize then Aloe Vera. My skin type is also pretty normal, it didn't break out or anything when I first ever introduced the AHA, and with age my skin has seemed to become stable; I don't break out very often anymore, just recovering.

I use witch hazel and rosehip oil every morning and night and it helps with evening out the skin tone and with acne scars. I also recommend vitamin c serum which you can get for a good price on amazon from Tree of Life Beauty. Vitamin C serum is both anti aging and will even out your skin and will protect it from the sun. The reviews on the ToLB one are really good. vitamin c rosehip oil i use

P.s. tea tree oil didn’t really do anything for me and if you want a good face mask I recommend this one with Apple cider vinegar added in. Don’t use it daily or it will dry your skin out.
