Give it two to four weeks of consistent use. You might notice your skin looks less angry within a week, but the real magic—fading scars and fewer breakouts—takes time. Acne didn’t show up overnight, and it won’t pack its bags that fast either.
MAYA Rosehip Oil & Acne Control Gel Cream - SQUARE
Some people experience a temporary “purging” phase, where a few tiny bumps appear. That’s the oil speeding up cell turnover. It’s not a breakout; it’s a cleanup crew. If it lasts more than two weeks, stop and see a derm.
Who Should Skip This?
If you’re allergic to roses or have a nut allergy (rosehip is from rose bushes, but cross-contamination can happen), talk to a doctor. Also, if your skin is currently a war zone with open wounds or eczema, wait until it’s calmer. Healing skin likes gentle, not aggressive oils.
Pregnant or nursing? Vitamin A derivatives can be tricky, so ask your healthcare provider first. Better safe than sorry, even if the bottle looks cute.
