This light oil is formulated with rose hip extract  not rose hip oil. It has the consistency of water and no discernible odor. Absorbing quickly, it left my skin feeling moist and refreshed. It is to be used after cleansing and toning but before moisturizing. Avoid the eye area. The plastic drop bottle is small but a little goes a long way. Rose hip extract is touted for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. I have suffered no ill effects from using this product and am impressed with its gentle hydration.
