Rose Hip Oil for acne prone skin

Name: Amelia
Question:

Hi,
I have sensitive acne prone skin. I have been using bobbi brown skin care for my skin,and it has improved a lot. My skin care includes a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer. However, I have recently found out that rosehip oil helps with acne scars and I would like to include it in my skin care regime. But what I’m wondering is, I have lots of dark spots from old acne all over my face.So do I spread the rose hip oil all over my face? Because the instructions say apply on the affected area. Another thing, when do i use the rosehip oil? before or after the toner? Do I continue with my original skin care regime and just add the rosehip oil into the routine or do i replace something with the oil?

Dear Amelia,

You would use rose hip oil only on the scars. Using rose hip oil will only slightly reduce the appearance of scars and will take daily application and quite some time to see any difference.

I would recommend you consult a dermatologist for a more effective treatment for scars such as new laser techniques and chemical peels.

Good luck!
