Hi Gio, love your informative website. I bought Radha Rosehip oil in August 2019. I must have used it once or twice and forgotten about it . Now after reading all about the benefits of rosehip oil I’m trying it again as a night time moisturiser. I kept my bottle inside a drawer and the Radha bottle is dark. Just wanted to know, do you think it is still effective since it is 9 months later? How do I know if it is oxidised and useless. Thank you!

In reply to Anita. Anita, unfortunately it's impossible to know for sure if something will make you breakout in advance. But if that happens, stop using it.

Hello, i am fighting with an acne and undergoing treatment with Finacea 15% (azaleic acid). It is effective but it dries out my skin a lot so i bought the rosehip oil and applied it for the first time. It feels a bit sticky but generally ok. Do you think it is likely to make my skin worse before it gets better? If it does cause breakouts should I just give up or power through for some time? What time would you recommend that I trial it for, even if it causes breakouts? Thank you a lot for your help and for your great blog.

In reply to queency. Queency, NEVER mix anything with sunscreen or you'll dilute the SPF!

In reply to Claire. Claire, there is research that Vitamin A causes birth defects in mice. Imo, rosehip or OTC concentrations of retinol aren't high enough to cause problems in humans but many doctors recommend to avoid them as a precaution anyway.
