Review (5/5): Seems to be helping scalp psoriasis
I read the reviews and thought I would take a chance on this Rosehip Seed Oil since nothing else seems to be helping the psoriasis on my scalp. I won't say that it has been a miracle, but it does stop the itching for a short time and definitely helps with the scaling and redness.
Now it does leave my hair oily, but I have days that I do not have to appear in public, so I put it on then and leave it, reapplying when necessary. As a positive side effect, my hair was damaged and kind of fried looking from other products I had been using and this Rosehip Seed Oil has repaired that! After I wash this out, my hair is really soft and not fried and frizzy looking anymore. I couldn't be more pleased with that development!
I am also using this on my forearms which are very dry and easily bruised/abraided due to medication that I take. It soaks right in and my damaged skin feels so much better. It seems to promote healing of the abrasions, too.
Multiple reviewers have mentioned the way it smells. This must be a completely personal response. To me it is not unpleasant...I have smelled things that smell better and worse. However, my husband thinks it smells bad. But, the odor dissipates quickly so to me there is no problem with that.
I really like this product so far and will order more. BTW, I keep it in the fridge for the soothing cool to the itch of the psoriasis.
