Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate fruit and seed oil blend with vitamin E

Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate fruit and seed oil blend with vitamin E is a nourishing facial oil packed with the omegas (3,6,7, and 9). With a very simple formulation - rosa canina (rosehip) seed extract and rosa canina (rosehip) fruit extract both of which are organically produced and 99% organic certified with the Soil Association seal. Plus some added mixed tocopherols (natural vitamin E) and you can’t go wrong!
My skin easily absorbed the golden amber oil which gets its color because of the caretonoids (which makes carrots orange in color too!) I used 3-4 drops per night for almost 3 months and occasionally applied it under makeup if I was having a particularly dry day. I found that if I waited about 10 minutes then I could easily apply makeup on top. At the point of starting to use this product my skin was in pretty good shape. It was clear and hydrated for the most part and this facial oil fitted in nice and neatly without disturbing the good state that I had achieved for my skin. I can’t say that I noticed any improvements in terms of the sunspots I have on my cheeks which I was a little bit hoping for but then again I’ve never noticed a difference in my sun spots after using any product so this is a very tall order! For me the smell was a little off putting. It’s very seedy and earthy smelling. But it smells like it’s very good and doing very nice things for your skin (which it is).
I’ve been using a facial oil as the last step in my nightly skin routine for at least 5 years now. I highly recommend that you do too. When I compare this facial oil with others it stacks up in terms of performance but purely for smell reasons I can’t rate it as my absolute favorite. A few drops of essential oil could have made this facial oil more pleasant or indulgent-feeling to use but then again some people with really sensitive skin can’t use products with essential oils. The pure gentleness and simple formulation of the oil will mean that anyone anywhere with any skin type or condition can use it.
Interesting to note is on the shelves at Whole Foods this product is placed both in the beauty section and first aid sections of the store, or at least it was in the Kensington, London branch where I shop! I was sent this product by a PR person so I didn’t have to purchase it myself but I could see how the oil could be used in first aid on damaged skin. Overall this is a good product that I would recommend for those with really sensitive skin. For me I would have liked a little more bells and whistles so I’ll probably add a few drops of lavender and geranium essential oils to the rest of my bottle. If you want to have a go at making your own customized facial oil I would recommend the Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate as the carrier oil and then spruce it up with some essential oils according to your skin type.
