The Chemistry

Nature's answer
to retinol —
without the side effects.

What makes rosehip oil extraordinary is not just what it contains, but how those compounds work together. Trans-retinoic acid, vitamin C precursors, and a rare omega-3 fatty acid — tretinoin-like activity without the prescription barrier or the barrier disruption — make rosehip oil the most sophisticated skin-correcting botanical oil in the PRESSÈRA collection.

Natural Retinoid · Tretinoin-Like
Trans-Retinoic Acid
Rosehip oil is one of only a handful of plant sources that naturally contains trans-retinoic acid — a direct form of vitamin A that acts on the same skin receptors as prescription tretinoin. Unlike retinol, which must be converted through multiple enzymatic steps before becoming active, trans-retinoic acid works immediately — stimulating collagen synthesis, accelerating cell turnover, and fading pigmentation without the dryness, peeling, or photosensitivity of synthetic retinoids.
77%
Omega-6 + Omega-3
Linoleic & Linolenic
A rare dual omega fatty acid profile — 54% linoleic (omega-6) and 23% alpha-linolenic (omega-3) — repairs the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and keeps cellular membranes supple and functional.
Vit C
Precursor
Ascorbic Acid Precursors
Rosehip seeds are one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C precursors — supporting collagen production, brightening dull skin, and protecting against environmental oxidative damage.
β-C
Provitamin A
Beta-Carotene
The pigment that gives rosehip oil its distinctive red colour also delivers potent antioxidant protection, neutralising the UV-generated free radicals that break down collagen and accelerate aging.
Lyc
Carotenoid
Lycopene
One of nature's most powerful antioxidants — lycopene provides photoprotection, supports skin cell DNA repair, and contributes to the visible brightening and tone-evening effects unique to rosehip oil.
What It Does

Six transformations only
rosehip oil delivers.

The botanical skin corrector that dermatologists recommend — addressing scars, pigmentation, aging, and dullness with the precision of a prescription, the gentleness of nature.

Skin Correction
Scar Fading
Trans-retinoic acid accelerates the turnover of scarred skin cells while linoleic acid rebuilds the lipid architecture beneath. Both acne scars and surgical scars respond to rosehip oil — with consistent nightly application, scar depth and discolouration visibly reduce over 8–12 weeks as new, healthy skin cells continuously replace the damaged tissue above.
Skin Correction
Hyperpigmentation
The combination of trans-retinoic acid, vitamin C precursors, and lycopene directly inhibits melanin overproduction and speeds the replacement of pigmented skin cells. Sun spots, age spots, post-inflammatory marks, and melasma all respond — rosehip oil is clinically documented to reduce hyperpigmentation more effectively than most over-the-counter brightening serums.
Hair Care
Scalp & Hair Revitalisation
Rosehip oil's omega-3 content reduces scalp inflammation, soothes dryness and flaking, and nourishes follicles at the root. Its lightweight texture means it distributes evenly without weighing hair down — used on lengths and ends, it adds luminosity and reduces breakage from the inside out.
Anti-Aging
Collagen & Wrinkle Repair
Trans-retinoic acid directly stimulates fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. Clinical studies demonstrate rosehip oil's ability to measurably reduce fine lines and improve skin firmness over 8 weeks, rivalling low-concentration retinol products without any of the associated irritation or sun sensitivity.
Anti-Aging
Radiance & Luminosity
Beta-carotene and lycopene give rosehip oil its distinctive ruby colour — and these same carotenoids actively enhance skin radiance by supporting efficient cell renewal and protecting existing healthy cells from oxidative damage. Skin looks visibly brighter, more even, and lit from within within days of first use.
Skin Correction
Stretch Marks & Dry Skin
Rosehip oil's omega-3 fatty acids improve skin elasticity at a cellular level, making it highly effective for both preventing and reducing stretch marks. Its anti-inflammatory linolenic acid simultaneously soothes chronically dry or eczema-prone skin, restoring the moisture barrier that synthetic emollients cannot truly repair.
Proven by Science

Six facts that make rosehip oil extraordinary.

Used by Andean peoples for centuries, adopted by modern dermatology, and credited by some of the world's most recognised faces — rosehip oil has the science to match its legend.

01
The Only Oil with Natural Trans-Retinoic Acid
Rosehip oil is among the very few plants naturally containing trans-retinoic acid — the bioactive form of vitamin A that prescription-strength tretinoin delivers synthetically. This compound directly binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors in skin cells, triggering collagen synthesis and cell turnover without any conversion step — a pharmaceutical-grade mechanism delivered botanically.
02
Clinically Proven to Reduce Scars
A randomised, double-blind clinical trial found that patients applying rosehip oil twice daily after surgery showed significantly reduced scar width, improved colour normalisation, and better overall scar appearance at 12 weeks compared to controls. This remains one of the most rigorous clinical demonstrations of any single plant oil's wound-healing efficacy.
03
Higher Omega-3 Than Any Other Cosmetic Oil
With approximately 23% alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), rosehip oil contains a higher concentration of this anti-inflammatory fatty acid than any other commonly used cosmetic oil including flaxseed or hemp. Omega-3 is essential for maintaining the phospholipid bilayer of skin cell membranes — directly influencing hydration retention, barrier integrity, and inflammatory response.
04
Used by Celebrities for Decades — With Evidence
Rosehip oil is one of the few celebrity-endorsed skincare ingredients with robust clinical backing. Multiple published studies support its efficacy for hyperpigmentation, aging, scarring, and barrier repair — placing it in the rare category of ingredients that are simultaneously fashionable and scientifically validated, rather than one or the other.
05
The Chilean Andes Advantage
Rosa canina grown at high altitude in the Chilean Andes produces berries with significantly higher concentrations of active compounds than lowland European varieties. The extreme UV exposure, temperature variations, and mineral-rich Andean soil stress the plants into producing greater quantities of protective carotenoids, fatty acids, and retinoids — making origin crucial to potency.
06
Works Best at Night — With a Reason
Trans-retinoic acid in rosehip oil is photosensitive — UV exposure can degrade the active molecules before they reach skin receptors. Nighttime application allows the full retinoid activity to work undisturbed during the skin's peak repair cycle between 10pm and 2am. This is the science behind the nightly rosehip ritual, not skincare mythology.
Ritual Guide

The night oil
that works
while you sleep.

Rosehip is PRESSÈRA's dedicated correction oil — best applied at night when the skin's repair cycle is at its peak and trans-retinoic acid can work undisturbed by UV. Start slowly, build consistently, and let the results compound over weeks.

01
Always at Night
Apply rosehip oil as the last step of your nighttime ritual — after cleansing, toning, and any water-based serums. Trans-retinoic acid is UV-sensitive, so nighttime application maximises its retinoid activity and eliminates any photodegradation risk. Do not use immediately before sun exposure.
02
Start With 2 Drops
Begin with 2 drops pressed gently between palms and patted — not rubbed — onto clean skin. Rosehip oil's trans-retinoic acid makes it potent: start every other night for the first two weeks if you have sensitive skin, then increase to nightly use as your skin adapts. Over-application does not accelerate results.
03
Target Specific Concerns
For scars: apply one drop directly to the scar and massage in small circles for 60 seconds to boost local circulation. For dark spots: press oil onto pigmented areas and leave undisturbed. For full-face use: press gently across forehead, cheeks, and chin — avoid the eye area if you are new to retinoids.
04
Layer Strategically
Rosehip oil layers exceptionally well with No. 02 Sweet Almond: almond oil first (for lightweight moisture base), then one drop of rosehip pressed on top (for active correction). For maximum anti-aging, combine one drop of No. 04 Argan with one drop of No. 05 Rosehip — squalene plus trans-retinoic acid is the most potent botanical anti-aging combination in the collection.
05
Expect Gradual, Lasting Change
Rosehip oil works through the skin's natural cell renewal cycle — results build progressively rather than appearing overnight. Most users notice improved radiance and texture within two weeks. Visible scar fading and pigmentation reduction typically develops over 8–12 weeks of consistent nightly use. This is a long game worth playing.

"I had an acne scar on my cheek that I had resigned myself to living with. Eight weeks of rosehip oil every night and it is genuinely almost gone. I have tried every serum on the market. Nothing has worked like this."
