Side by Side Comparison of: Life-Flo vs Mario Badescu vs Clean & Clear vs Bare Republic

Let me preface this by saying: I am a skeptic. Especially of "natural" remedies. I have been suffering with chin and jawline breakouts for the past year or so. Believe me when I say, I have tried EVERYTHING!! From natural scrubs to coconut oil to glycolic pads to hyaluronic serum to spot acne treatment like sulfur and charcoal to prescription EpiDuo Forte acne creme. The EpiDuo Forte cleared it up pretty well but left my skin SO dry (even using once or twice a week only!) that my face was SO sensitive and felt chemically burned, that it was painful to even lay my face on a pillow!! Needless to say, I stopped using it. I started using lavender oil to clear up my existing/emerging acne which was incredible, but then I wanted to tackle the fact that I had a LOT of acne scars and discoloration. I am not opposed to trying new products, but approached it with low expectations and no enthusiasm, expecting it to be another product I simply "crossed off my list." Holy. Mackerel. In DAYS my blemishes probably diminished by about 80% and keep getting better and better. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin lately and I feel confident enough to even go without foundation. My ritual is to put the lavender oil on the "problem areas", and then my undereyes and remainder of my face gets rosehip oil. Oh also....this stuff works WONDERS for dark undereyes and bags!!! I'm a convert!!

I use this on my face every night before bed for it's anti aging properties. It does not break me out and seems to be very healing. This brand is organic and cold processed. This is my 2nd bottle, will defiantly continue to purchase.

I love this product. I had a stint with cystic acne that left my face torn up. I was told my scars would never heal. I'm so happy I stumbled across this!! My scars are completely unnoticeable after four months of use. I love the way it makes my skin feel and the price can't be beat. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. My face usually feels tight after a shower, I put two to three drops on my face and it feels so revitalized. I don't need any other products - I only use rosehip seed oil.I keep my rosehip seed oil in the fridge to keep it cold. One bottle usually lasts me a year with everyday use.

Rosehip oil doesn't smell amazing but works like a charm on my sensitive skin! The bottle is the perfect travel size and I carry it with me in my bag for any dry skin moments. I try to only use natural skin care products (coconut oil, dr.bronners soaps) and rosehip oil is one of the best! A little goes a long way and this bottle lasts me a month or two.

I love this stuff! Even though the bottle is small (1oz), a little goes a long way and it lasts a really long time! I've never had much of an acne problem, but last summer I randomly started getting horrible acne along my jaw line that would not relent. I couldn't get rid of it and the marks it left were hard to cover up with makeup. It seemed like I was just accumulating ugly marks along my jaw and on my cheeks. I was really discouraged. But I started using this Rosehip oil every night about a month ago and can finally say my dark marks are disappearing! I've used so many high-end items from Sephora and even tried Paula's Choice out of desperation, but neither of those sources provided any benefit to my acne or marks. I've also used Argan and Jojoba oils for years, but still had regular acne under their use. With this oil, I have virtually no acne. It's amazing. It's easy to spread all over my face with just a few drops, it absorbs well, and my skin has a nice glow when I wake up. I haven't experienced any dry skin or flakiness while using this either. I have sensitive skin and it's been a struggle finding products that work well on me. I am very thankful to have found this product!

To be honest i actually completely forgot all about this product! It took over a month to get i. Idk if it was out of stock or what but im not really trippn on it because i did end up getting it and it was packaged really well and i do like this product and this brand ive bought other stuff from them with no complaints with any of them. The color is an amber color and it had a faint smell that made me think of flaxseed oil idky lol. But rose hip seed oil is supposed to have faint unpleasant type smell. I placed a drop of it on the back of my hand and rubbed it in. I noticed the smell disappeared when the oil easily and quickly absorbed into my skin withn seconds. My skin felt so freakn soft and smooth. Im 21 and i have normal skin type not oily or dry and my skin was already soft and smooth and i usually get compliments on my skin but i wanted to enhance my skin. Ive used this everyday since i got it which was acouple days ago. I wash my face, neck and chest with warm to hot water mixed with some apple cider vinegar and sometimes i do clay masks after. I dont HAVE to use a moisturizer after im done with my face but i will. Ive tried shea butter, grapeseed oil, olive oil, mango butter, coconut oil and more but i like this the best so far. I put up to 4-6 drops of it on a finger tip and rub in my face, neck and chest and it doesnt leave me looking oily i glow and have that extra softness i desire. I also put 20 drops in my hair oil i made and idk if it made a dif since my oils by themselves hydrate my hair without making my hair really oily and leave it shiny and very soft. Im going to try with just this oil on my hair and scalp alone to see what it does.

I like how well moisturize my daughter skin. My girl have acne and her skin care routine as drying her face. This and aloe vera are doing a difference.

This product has a very strong smell (similar to fish oil). I put it on before going to bed so its not typically an issue but its not a product I can put on and then leave the house because of the smell. It has helped with keeping my skin clear and toned. I find refrigerating the product helps the smell a little but I wouldn't purchase if you are uber sensitive to smells.

I purchased this product after reading several reviews about the use of rosehip oil to help with scarring and its use as a moisturizer. I took the plunge and bought this product for evening use. Pleased with the results, I repurchased from the same company. Results were the same, but the oil itself seemed off the second time around... Almost smelled like cooking oil. I'm going to buy a third bottle to see if the second purchase was a one-off. Some people suggest putting it in the refrigerator-- I didn't and it still seemed to work just fine on my skin. I wake up looking more refreshed. The price is right for the results.

I bought this after I tried some rosehip oil at whole foods and the lady was telling me it's really good for your skin. This one doesn't smell as nice as the one I originally tried though. I had wanted to use this as a moisturizer all over my face. I tried that and it made me break out pretty bad and I read online that it's usually better for mature skin and that if you have younger skin it will make you break out. I didn't try using it like that again. I still like to put this on my lips, rough patches, and also use it as an eye moisturizer. I have some small dry patches from acne on my face and this is supposed to help clear stuff like that up so I put it on those. I'll probably try a different oil after this runs out, something I can put all over my face more often.

This rose-hip seed oil came on time and nicely packaged. It didn't smell weird and made my skin smoother and helped take care of some acne and dryness. It comes in an amber glass bottle with a glass dropper, so that's definitely a plus! However, it felt more oily and didn't absorb as well as my favourite brand of rose-hip see oil. also it had a more yellow colour, as opposed to the other brand, which has an amber-ish colour. Other than that, I do not regret buying this and is still my number 2 go-to when I can't afford my regular oil! Definitely buy this if you need good rose-hip seed oil but are on a budget, it does work!

I've been using this product for a couple weeks and it has not only lightened my post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but it has decreased blemishes as well which was completely unexpected. Since my skin is oily, a lot of other oils I have tried have not been compatible with my skin, but the light, dry quality of this one makes it perfect. Now that I know that rosehip oil works for me I have ordered a nicer one from Pai, but it's good to know that there is an inexpensive alternative that really works.

Only been using it for a few weeks now, I make my own face wash with coconut oil. Sugar, tea tree and I put this in there too. When I use it by itself I can tell more of a glow the next day then I usually have!

Dries pretty quickly, which is good because I don't like the oily feeling with other stuff.My main complaint is that the smell is not very pleasant. I want to use this for night moisturizer but hate the smell. So I end up not using it much.Don't think I would buy this again.

My skin didn't react badly to it. I didn't notice any miraculous change in the appearance or texture of my skin (occasional pimple, some redness, clogged pores, fine lines) but this did take care of the dryness I sometimes experience. My skin absorbed it fairly quickly so oiliness was not an issue. I used only a couple drops on my entire face so the bottle lasted several months.

I really want to love this. I bought it based on other reviews (beauty bloggers) claiming that it reduces scarring and hyperpigmentation, which I have a lot of thanks to severe acne for most of my life. I do notice that this reduces redness, but unfortunately it seems to irritate my skin by causing/exaggerating breakouts every time I use it. I'm hoping that once I get my acne under control, I can begin using this regularly.Otherwise, it smells and feels lovely. I add two or three drops in my palm, rub my hands together and gently press it on my face after moisturizing.

I bought this to put on my face at night in place of a moisturizer. I have a lot of acne scarring and was hoping it would help fade the scars, as many reviews said it would. I've been using it 5-7 nights per week for about 4 months now, and I don't notice much difference. I also didn't experience the next morning "glow" that many reviewers experienced. It didn't do anything bad to my skin, but just didn't do much different than a normal moisturizer would do. Might be worth a try, but I wouldn't repurchase. It does last quite a while - I've been using a generous amount each time as stated above, and still have about 1/2 of the 1 oz bottle left.

After researching online how to reduce redness from broken capillaries and blemishes due to acne scarring, I stumbled upon an article that said Rosehip Seed Oil is a good natural solution. I went onto Amazon and read the reviews before I stumbled upon this brand, decently priced, reviews weren't so bad, and it has a little dropper so it's easy to apply.The color is yellowish, and the smell isn't very appealing but that isn't a big deal to me. When rubbing it onto your skin it dries pretty fast and it doesn't feel as oily as you would expect.I've used it on my face for about a week now and seen no results, other than a bit softer skin. But what I have seen is whiteheads popping up in my t-zone. My skin's pretty sensitive, so that could be the reason why. Although I've never had a problem with extra virgin olive oil , it's non-comedogenic and a great moisturizer for dry skin. But it also doesn't help with facial redness either so I'm back on my search to find something natural that will actually does. For now I'll keep this product on the shelf and use it on my hands and feet.

This is not just rosehip oil. This product also contains tocopherol, vitamin E, which is what I smell each time I put it on my face. It states it also has an "antioxidant" ingredient which is not listed, but states it is a preservative. Just another reason you need to read labels before you purchase a product. Just because it says "pure rose hip seed oil" on the front, doesn't mean that is the only ingredient.

Dried out my skin badly !

Received my product and it did not seem to be sealed in anyway. The color came out orange and had a fishy smell, can anyone confirm if this is the oil going rancid?

It looked like my rose hip oil was opened I don't know if it comes like that but it got me confused and a bit mad.

Not sure if this product is supposed to smell so foul, but it does. Not sure how well it works, over all, because I don't want to put it on my face.

Just tried this today. It's definitely darker in color, which I hear is a good sign, but it has an unpleasant odor, that lasts all day. Plus even using only 2-3 drops as suggested leaves an orange like hue on my face and its really greasy. Will look for another kind of product that offers similar benefits.

I am 38 yrs old with dry sensitive skin . I had a lot of hopes when I brought this product .I have been using it for 2 weeks,but its not for me !!!!My skin got terribly itchy and i had the urge to scratch it all the time. I noticed slight peeling as well. Plus my eyes started to itch even though i had avoided the under eye area. I decided to give a few days break and try again .Again, I started with one drop first then slowly increased to 2-3 drops on my face and neck area. Couple of hours after application I started to get angry bumps on my chin . I really panicked and applied ice all over the affected area. That's it ..I am not going to give another shot to rose hip oil.If its working for you then good. But definitely its not for everyone.Plus, there is some fishy smell which goes away once applied .The oil is thick and absorbs well but not worth it if your skin cant handle it .Not buying again.

It doesn't smell good and when I put a little on my face I ended up with a huge deep pimple. I never get those on my face. Haven't had one since either. I don't recommend this at all.

Do not purchase! Product came without a seal of protection. Also the dropper seems to have been used. All facial products should come with a security seal. I do not know if the product has been tampered with so would not use or recommend.

Agree with others, smells like the salmon oil I feed my cat. Yuck.

Will stick to argon oil. My very tolerant face did not like this.They are not letting me return for some reason...not happy.

Used this off a recommendation for undereye lines and acne scars. I have drier skin but still have scarring from hormonal acne and saw all the claims that this helps skin of all types. Only used this for about a week before I tossed it--it's so greasy, it slides all over your face and makes you feel almost sticky. No change in appearance for my acne scars or fine lines, and on top of that, I started getting closed comodones under my eyes! My pillowcases felt disgusting, no matter how much time I gave myself before application and bedtime. I eventually got a REAL retinol cream, which actually does help. The item description advertising this as anything remotely similar to retinol is misleading. Will not ever purchase this product again.
