Oils are not created equal. I've had bad results with some, better with others, and incredible with one. Grapeseed seems to get used the most often, as it's touted as being a thin oil that absorbs well

And i agreed with this until i used Rose Hip Seed Oil

When they call this oil a 'dry' oil...they are absolutely not kidding. It absorbs like no other oil i've used. And we aren't talking subtly better. Night and day better. i've been getting back into applying it to my face, and i cannot believe how thin and fast absorbing it is. The only downside is the cost. $12 for 1 oz. But it's worth the price

I don't recommend EVOO or grapeseed as a primary acne treatment. But i absolutely would recommend this oil because of how different it is. I truly am a believer that this oil alone can help your situation, regardless of severity. It may take more of an internal approach depending on...you. But this stuff is highly anti-inflammatory, high linoleic acid content, vitamin A, C, and E rich, and leaves a matte finish. It's also touted for it's ability to gradually break down scar tissue.

I don't wash my face with anything. I simply rub this into my skin. And if you pick up any sebum plugs on the way, just wipe them off on a washcloth or paper towel. This isn't oil cleansing (as we've come to know it), it's simply application of oil.

It can be very scary to think about applying oil to your already oily/acne ridden skin. I know, i've been there

I haven't tried any of the oils you mentioned but I do use Jojoba oil. And as funny as it is adding the oil to my already oily face, it has made my face less oily and so much softer as far as moisturizing goes.

Hello :)

I've recently been using Organic Hemp Oil for almost a week now, also $12, and is a "dry oil". Although it has shrunk my pores some and decreased sebum about 30%-40%, do you believe Rose Hip Oil would work better? I need something stronger lol I have hereditary oily skin so :P

I was thinking of purchasing grape seed oil but now wondering if rose hip oil would be better. How would you compare the two? Why do you think the rose hip is better? Thanks!

I've read a lot about natural oils and acne. Rose hip seed oil is deffinitely a remarkable oil for scars and wringles science has shown. About acne I've only read about people telling it's a good oil for acne. Not sure that it actually would kill the bacteria causing acne like tea tree oil and castor oil though this doesn't make it a bad oil. It might clog some of your pores for the first 7-10 days some people have told. On my skin it also clogged some ofmy pores in the beginning - not anymore. I only uses the oil 3-4 days a week, so not sure what would happen if I used it everyday..
