Side by Side Comparison of: InstaNatural vs Aura Cacia

A very good oil that has so many uses! I like to use this oil when my skin is feeling dry on my elbows, knees, feet and my face. After I use it for a couple of days my skin feels smooth. It is also great for hair and use it in my hair as leave-in-oil and my hair shines a lot, it also helps keep the hair smooth when I blow-dry it or just let it air dry. After removing nail polish on my hands and feet, I will rub this oil into my cuticles and nail beds, it makes such a difference with how my nail beds look.The great thing about this oil is that is lasts a very long time, I have had mine for over year and it still works great.Having such great results with this oil I did purchase a few more bottles as gifts for my family and they love it as well. Great oil that I will continue to purchase!

Great product. I regularly receive compliments on how fresh and young my skin looks and I am a woman of a certain age. I also have struggled with clogged pores for years and while it seems counterintuitive the oil does not clog pores. It is priced so reasonably that I have also used on a very bad burn I had recently on my arm once the blistering was gone. My friend the MD keeps asking me what I used - organic aloe & lavender thru the blister phase then organic rosehip seed oil - because of how quickly and well it is healing. The packaging I received doesn't look anything like the picture.

I have struggled with dry skin and acne most of my adult life. It seemed counter intuitive to oil my face, but after a lot of research I decided to give this a try. After almost a full year of using rose hip oil daily after my morning shower I have soft clear skin. I get an occasional pimple, but nothing like it used to be. All I use is cetaphil soap and rose hip oil. My skin is in better condition at 41 than it was at 21.

This rosehip oil really helps my skin look great. I wasn't expecting to see results for at least a month after first using it but, to my big surprise, I started noticing a significant reduction in the fine lines and wrinkles in my forehead and around my eyes and mouth. A friend suggested using with a vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum and I tried . I have found that combining this mask with VC20 - Potent 20% Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & a Powerful Amino Acid Complex! . The combination of these products has given me amazing results -- revitalizing my skin and making me look younger!

All that comes to my mind is...WOW, what an amazing product this is. I read countless reviews and knew it would do something positive, but I truly had no idea how MUCH would be. I have middle age skin and suffer from all the skin issues that come from that, not to mention living in the high altitude and desert of NM. I just wanted to find something to calm, soothe and help to clear up my skin, and I certainly found it with this wonderful Rosehip Seed Oil. I mean within 3 days I was really seeing a big improvement. I believe in the power of serums over creams (although I use one I make myself) because it is the best way for products to get into the skin, so I made a serum using this oil, and it is really benefiting my skin health. Don't be like me, and be slow to get on the rosehip band wagon, as the sooner you begin to use it the better off you'll be. My skin has not only cleared up from the nagging blemishes, irritations and "crankiness", but it has smoothed out in texture, tone and is really very soft now. I have only been using RSO for going on 3 weeks now, so I am excited to see what the long term effects will be. As with most things it is accumulative and only gets better with time. I heard so many raving things about RSO that I had the mindset that...all this hype?...it can't be all that. WELL, it is and more. I know now why it has been used for generations and why the people that use it have such beautiful, clear, 'pretty' skin. It is light and absorbs quickly. The scent is very light and dissipates within a few minutes. I highly recommend this oil to EVERYONE, and this brand is very high quality. Its the best $16 bucks I have spent in a LONG time.

I really like InstaNatural's organic rosehip seed oil. It's effective and is working great for me. I use it as a daily facial and body moisturizer. InstaNatural quickly sent the oil which was securely packaged. The company provides exceptional customer service and followed up to make certain I was happy with the product and that it met my expectations.

Love this serum! I am 48 years old and wanted an oil based serum I can add my essential oils into for an anti-aging concoction. This serum formulated with Rosehip oil and Vitamin E is perfect! Read up on the benefits of Rosehip oil and Vitamin E for skin and you'll want some too! I add Frankincense, Myrrh and Rose EOs to this serum. The price is on point and it's organic....double win! I use this when I first wake to give my face and neck a treatment before I shower and get ready for work. My face is oily/glossy at first but it absorbs over the next hour to make my skin just perfect. This formulation is brilliant, price is fair-------go get yourself some.

I ordersped two bottles and both arrived with their entire contents leaked out. I messaged customer service, and was immediately sent two new bottles. they got here even faster than the first two.The actual oil is clearly high quality. It smells strongly of the earthy/floral/tea smell rosehip has, and is a medium-gold. It's been working fairly well with my skin, it heals acne, and plumps really well.

love this stuff, use it with frankincense oil for arthritis pain...better than taking pain meds...just put a few squirts in your palm, sprinkle some frankincense oil, then massage them into your knee or wherever you are hurting...I get lots of hip pain and I just rub it where it hurts...it doesn't disguise pain, it alleviates it...

Excellent product, I have been using this on my face for 1 month and everyone tells me that my face looks different clean, silky, bright, fresh. It is not bright yellow as they say in some reviews , is almost orange, remember this oil also has vitamin E so is not pure rosehip oil , so it will not be identical to others that are pure rosehip oil but i think it works great. I am 25 and works perfectly for me.

I have been using this on my face for 1 month. I'm fast approaching 60 and I want to look and feel good. The pump on this is a great way to dispense. Great quality. I keep my in the fridge. I will buy this again. Love it

OMG I can swear by this stuff!!! It works soooo well!! I love that it can be used overnight or in the day time (it's that light and fast absorbing!!!). My skin feels incredibly moisturized when I feed it with this magic stuff and it just drinks this oil up, becoming more soft and dewy. Great at healing skin irritations and blemishes!! Leaving it overnight is guaranteed to make you not recognize yourself in the mirror in the morning... It just makes your skin look soooo much better!

I just loved the product. After application, it gives a soft experience. I loved it, better than some wrinkle creams.

Been using this for a month now on my face,and i really like it! I have oily skin,like...SUPER GREASY skin, but this didn't make it any worse. Maybe because its winter and I live in a super dry climate, but I love how moisturized my skin feels all day after I use this in the morning. I'm in my early twenties, but I'd began to notice a few fine lines on my eyelids. I think its safe to say this has taken care of them. Not completely, of course,but they're definitely not as visible when I look in the mirror

I bought this to help my Acne scars because someone suggested it and I couldn't be happier. Its been really helping them heal a lot quicker and they are less noticeable. Definitely recommend using with other oils like lavender and Melrose. Also I got the tip from @clearskinforvever.com they have great tips and a forum with real people who have had real results from the Clear Skin Forever Diet book.

It smells like fish. It eventually fades but it makes me question if rosehip always smells this bad or just this product.Update: I have been told that yes, in fact, RHO does have a slight fish smell. So, aside from that the product has been pretty good. I use it in the morning under makeup and it makes my skin soft rather than greasy. So I added a star!

I never used oil on my face before since my skin is combo and it gets really oily in the summer. I'm changing my lifestyle to more organic, natural products so I gave it a try. I have not really had any wrinkle so I can't really comment on that but I'm using it as prevention. I apply this oil at night and my skin feels really smooth in the morning.At first I tried to apply my moisturizer first, then the oil but one night it was late so I just applied the oil. My skin soaked the oil a lot better. Now I apply it right after my rose water. It does have unpleasant odor, but it is not bad. After a couple uses, I get used to the odor so it doesn't bother me anymore.Excited with my experiment with oil, I ordered two bottles of argan oil and jojoba oil also from Instanatural. I mixed three oils together and I can feel my skin absorb the mixture more quickly. None of the oils makes me break out.I give this four stars because my skin did not have a lot of problems to start with, I'm using it with the hope it will pay off in the future. So far I am satisfied with what this and the others have done to my skin and also the great customer service from Instanatural.

This product was a miracle worker for my skin. I have very hormonal acne ridden skin and a combination of this (and birth control) has finally solved this problem for me. I'm beginning to love my skin and not be so self conscious anymore. I just scrub every night with cetaphil antibacterial soap and put on a little bit of rosehip oil before bed, and just rub my face with really warm water instead of re-washing. My makeup goes on smooth and my face isn't dry or oily, it is just right. I gave 4 stars because the bottle arrived covered in oil which really ticked me off, though the bottle was still full so I guess it really wasn't a big deal. It also smells sort of like eggs at first but that literally goes away almost immediately. Overall I am very happy with this product and will not go without it :)

Excellent so far. Noticeable improvement in my skin tone and softness. Be careful of the cap- it will loosen up on you.

Good moisturizing oil. Absorbs quickly. But will only use it on my hands due to the very pungent odor which does decrease over time but not go completely away.

Works well for my skin type, over 50 and fair skin.

Smells fishy, which i wasn't expecting, but i have no other complaints

So far this product has really helped with my rosacea problem, which has been getting worse! Glad I found something that is working!

I have only been using this product a short time so feel I haven't benefited fully from it yet. However, it does make my skin feel so soft and it absorbs into the skin without leaving a oily residue. Anything left on my fingers, I rub on top of my hands! I first saw this promoted on the Dr Oz Show. I feel for the price, it's a very good product. I may report later after using it a while longer, and have no doubt it will be a very positive report.

It was ok use it in my Hair and its been going well i dont mind purchasing more of his oil

Smells a bit fishy - don't think it is suppose to be that way. Afraid to use it now. Second time I've ordered this and it's almost the same BUT my daughter ordered the same and it smells like nuts not fish

I heard this should help with stretch marks. I have been using it almost 60 days without any results. I will keep using it a little longer

Nice smelling product with high viscosity. Absorbs ok and moisturizes well. Problem I had with this product is that it stains clothes easily and it's bright orange stain is quite visible. The stain is also very hard to get out of clothes - used Dawn dish washing soap as my solution.

I bought this Rosehip oil after reading it on one of the beauty review website, mainly for the wrinkles under my eye. I have started using it, but don’t see too much difference yet, it has been 2 weeks. I love that this comes with a pump, which dispenses the perfect amount. A little goes a long way. I love that it is not oily and doesn’t leave a residue on my face, it absorbs quickly into the skin. I use two pumps at night and put it over my face and neck. I mix one pump of it with sweet almond oil and put it under my eyes at night for wrinkles. I hope I will see some positive results soon.

I am not a finicky person. I actually like herbal smells and I use a lot of products that are natural and that some people would say smell bad. But to me they smells good because it smells natural and earthy. I hate chemical smells. Which a lot of these are non natural products have even with the fragrance piled on. But this product here smells like fish oil. Luckily it does not linger for longer. But I read somewhere that that is a sign that it is rancid and oxidized. I will use all oil but I most likely will not purchase again. Back to the drawing board to find Rosehip oil.

Love this product but it was poorly packaged and some of the oil leaked.Huge inconvenience because its a mess to clean and its a small bottle of essential oil...

Please bring back the original AC Rosehip Oil from Chile and Chile alone. I am not sure why this new product is from Chile/Bulgaria. The oil feels and smells different from the original from Chile. Not as dry with the pleasant earthy scent. The original is the best Rosehip Oil I've tried and I'm in the middle of testing a 4th brand.

Just bought a second one. Helped heal acne and has been feeling great in my hair. Great find for myself and I'd buy as a gift!Shipping and packing could be better. My last one came with it all leaked everywhere.

Didn't like the smell and is a bit thick to apply around my neck chest area.

Didn't like the aroma very much but the texture is nice and soft. I liked when I combine it with olive oil.

This was a my second bottle and it seems very orange this time. I've been mixing it with my moisturizer to cut down on the color. Not sure I will buy again.

A friend let me use some of her instanatural rosehip oil and i was so impressed! It felt great and i got tons of compliments on my skin. So i bought my own. And it smelled like fish. Gag. I returned it. So good product but inconsistent quality.

Smelled fishy! returned it and got my $ back

product not suitable for me. It makes me skin drier than usual.

This is my second bottle. The first bottle was fine but this one when I apply it, makes my face look orangy yellow so I have stopped using it. I would recommend it if you get a bottle that does not change the color of your skin.

The seal on my bottle wasn't actually sealed. It was extremely easy to take off the cap without breaking the seal, which worries me about the product that is inside and whether or not it is actually 100-percent Rosehip Seed Oil. Bottle is big, pump that is included is great, but just hate that it wasn't properly sealed.

I gave this two stars because, while I liked the effect of the oil on my skin, I didn't like the fact that I lost three white shirts to the stains caused by the oil. I tried all my normal remover tricks and nothing budges the stains. I can't afford to continue replacing stained sheets, blouses and bras, so I will look for a brand that is clear and non-staining.

This gave me breakout fest. Don't like it at all.

I have really loved using this product, so prior to this last bottle that I ordered/received via Amazon, I would've rated this a 5-star. However, the last bottle that I just received has a completely disgusting odor to it ... Nothing like the other bottles that I've used. I'm very disappointed.-If a product change, bad choice.-If a quality issue, it's a huge deviation from the norm.

Used but twice but it smells horrible, probably won't use again.

All the reviews have been raving about the product, so I may have just gotten a bad batch. The oil has an old, rancid smell. I know oil blends can smell like this after they expire, but this has no expiration date on it so there is no way to tell.I tried it anyway and my skin was breaking out. It takes a while for skin to get used to new products, but with the bad smell, I decided it wasn't worth the risk to keep using it.I'm very surprised there is no expiration date. Essential oils will last for years, but they eventually do go bad.

The bottle it came in was very messy ,when I wanted to use it, it squirted everywhere . The smell was ,well, it smelled like rancid cooking oil not pleasant . The only good thing about it was that it was absorbed quickly into the skin . No I would not buy this product again.

As others have mentioned, this looks and smells a bit like vegetable oil. If it actually worked I'd get over the smell, but this didn't do anything for me. I bought it to combat some dry skin and because I'd heard it made acne scars fade faster--after a month I saw zero improvement on either count. I'll give it two stars instead of one since it didn't do anything bad either; my skin isn't crazy sensitive, but there are definitely products that break me out, and this isn't one of them (so at least there's that). Hope others have better luck with this--for me it did a lot of nothing.

Was really looking forward to this productThe seal was half gone. And it smells minty .

Smells like fish. I've read that rose hip oil goes bad easily and shouldn't smell fishy. So, I think this is rancid.

rancid

The pump doesn't work.

Once I started using this product my face broke out so beware; guess I might've been allergic to this product.

the product has new packaging. it is contained in a frosted bottle. the seller claims frosted is as effective as the dark colored bottle to keep out harmful UV rays, which is critical to protect the integrate of the product. however, the claim is unsubstantiated. also, i held the frosted bottle up to the light and can see the color of the oil inside the bottle. if i can see inside the bottle, then the oil is plainly not protected from UV effects. terrible idea to change packaging.it is also worth noting, the product appears to have been deodorized since it is odorless and not vibrant orange in color. for those that may not be aware deodorization damages the oil. the question of whether it was deodorized was posed to the seller, and the seller did NOT answer the question.

Both bottles leaked all over the package & the oil REEKED like rancid fish oil. Not what I expected from rose hips. No issues with refund, tho.

I already wrote a review before because the bottle leaked when I received it. Bottle was almost half empty! I planned to return it but found out return was not accepted so I just wasted money. I should have trusted the other reviews. Dropper cap doesn't seal properly. This Rosehip essential oil from Amazon not only smelled like Olive oil but worse! It has a fishy smell! The one from Sprouts didn't smell like that. If I can rate it 0 star, I would! Very disappointed!!!!

Product we received was not authentic. We always buy ours at Whole Foods. This smelled bad and caused rashes on our skin. The color was also wrong

Smells bad . I was very disappointed .

It smelled awful. I threw it away.

This really messed up my face. It clogged my pores and I started developing little bumps all over my face due to the congestion. It may be my personal reaction to rose hip oil, but I threw this out after a week of trying this.
