Regarding your question about comparing Vitamin C serum and Rosehip oil for benefits like wound healing, reducing acne scars, wrinkles, and tightening pores (excluding whitening):
It's difficult to make a direct comparison between the two. Similar to comparing different types of pain relievers, the effectiveness can vary greatly depending on individual skin types, the specific skin concern, and the exact formulation of the products being used.
Regarding Rosehip oil being a good source of Vitamin C:
While the Rosehip plant itself may contain Vitamin C, the oil extracted from it typically does not. Natural Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is water-soluble, meaning it dissolves in water, not oil. Therefore, pure Rosehip oil, which is an oil, would not naturally contain Vitamin C.
If a Rosehip oil product claims to contain Vitamin C, it might be because a synthetic, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C (like Ascorbyl Palmitate) has been added. In such cases, the product is not purely "natural oil" in terms of its Vitamin C content.
