A'kin rose hip oil

I was recently sent the A'kin rosehip oil to try and blog about by The Purist company.
I have used various oils on my skin with great success, and had heard a lot about the benefits of pure rose hip oil.
A'kin's pure rose hip oil, contains one ingrendient...rose hip oil. No fillers, no silicons, no dimethicones, no water, no mineral oils or anything like that.
It's certified organic too, BONUS.
ROse-hip oil is knows for healing, moisturizing the skin, and making the skin feel softer and smoother. It contains pro-vitamin A, Vitamin E and omega 9, 3, and 6.
AND....it's cheap as chips.
It retails for around $16 or so for the small dropper bottle 23ml, and trust me when i say, a little bit goes a real long way. I would dare say, the small bottle would last 3 months easily. AND at THAT price, it makes having nice skin actually affordable for anyone.
I've been using 2 drops twice daily and following with a rosehip moisturizer for around 2 weeks now. It doesnt cause breakouts and makeup sits nicely on top of it too. The box recommends 3-4 drops, but as i said, around 2 drops is enough for my skin and neck area. I gently press it into the skin after i cleanse and tone. I use the A'kin rose-hip spray toner, which I already had, and I find this makes the product spread very easily.
You can mix a little bit of the oil into your hand cream too, as winter tends to dry out and age the hands unfortunately.
So far, after 2 plus weeks of using the oil, I am wrapped. It works better than a regular serum in my opinion, and you KNOW it's pure and natural with nothing man made or artificial made-up ingrendients that would take a cosmetic chemist degree to decifer.

TRILOGY ROSE HIP Skin care moisturizer YES IT WORKS

I hadn't tried trilogy products before and saw that the Australian Woman's Weekly had a free generous sized sample tube as a promotion last month.
I was really impressed with it. You could smell the essential oils immediately, giving a nice relaxing feeling.
The cream itself is nice and light and goes a long way.
I would highly recommend using a rose hip oil underneath to get the best results you want.
The rose hip oil contained in the cream is certified organic as is the marula and orange flower.
