Does acne and hyperpigmentation often lower your self-esteem and affect how you look at yourself in the mirror? If it does, you're not the only one. Luckily, acne and acne scars are not always impossible to get rid of. Especially if you use the right ingredients and products for your skin type.
While going to a dermatologist should definitely be your priority for menopausal cystic acne, certain clean and natural ingredients have immense potential to help you manage and control acne breakouts.
The one ingredient you need in your skincare routine to battle those pesky spots and acne scars is Rosehip Seed Oil. If it is not already a part of your routine, here’s why you should add it to your cart immediately!

What is Rosehip Seed Oil?
Rosehip Seed Oil is extracted by cold pressing the seeds and pulp of the Rosa Canina plant. It is a multi-purpose oil that can be used on your face, neck, and hands, to treat everything from inflammation and sun damage to dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Rosehip Seed Oil has been revered since ancient times as a natural healer for skin issues. Today, it is most commonly used in skincare as an anti-aging ingredient and to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne, and sun damage.

Why does Rosehip Seed Oil work?
Rosehip Seed Oil contains an efficient combination of vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants that help combat skin woes.
100% Pure Rosehip Seed Oil contains Vitamins A, E, and C. Together, these vitamins function as antioxidants to fend against free radicals. Additionally, Rosehip Seed Oil is packed with essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, which support skin cell and tissue turnover.
Rosehip Seed Oil contains the 'natural' form of Vitamin A as opposed to the form found in medical retinoids. Hence, you get all the benefits of Vitamin A without the side effects of dry skin that often occur during the initial use of retinoids. Rosehip Seed Oil has a comparatively high degree of protection against inflammation because of its strong antioxidant content.

Is Rosehip Seed Oil Good for Acne?
The short answer to that would be YES. The presence of antioxidants in the oil helps prevent acne breakouts from occurring and treats already present ones gently. The oil also contains fatty acids that help renew your skin cells and soothe irritation.
The linoleic acid present in Rosehip Seed Oil helps control sebum production, hence preventing the formation of whiteheads or blackheads on your skin.
Rosehip Seed Oil is an incredible addition to the skincare routine of those with acne-prone skin because its antimicrobial properties target inflammation at the root, preventing future breakouts or scarring.

Will Rosehip Seed Oil Clog Your Pores?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Rosehip Seed Oil is a non-comedogenic oil, which means that it will not clog your pores. In fact, Rosehip Seed Oil is a ‘Dry Oil’. This means that it does not sit on your skin and instead seeps into the layers and hydrates them from within.
Using Rosehip Seed Oil on your face will not leave a greasy or oily film on your skin, making this oil the perfect match for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
Will Rosehip Seed Oil Work on Acne Scars?
YES.
The fatty acids in Rosehip Seed Oil undergo a chemical transformation when they are absorbed into the skin, creating a substance that aids in skin renewal for acne scars.
Ascorbic acid, an organic form of Vitamin C, is abundant in Rosehip Seed Oil. Acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and general skin texture can all be improved with regular use of Rosehip Seed Oil.
