I really love rose oil or rose theme product. You could say that I'm basically a rose addict. I searched high and low for any rose cream or rose serum and I came upon Andalou Naturals at iHerb and managed to snag three of Andalou Naturals 1000 RosesⓇ series and couldn't wait to try them. The 1000 RosesⓇ line are specifically formulated for those with sensitive skin. This review will come in three part.

*I have no idea about the plant stem cell thing, because they didn't stated description about the ingredient in their website. So I have to ask Mr. Google about it.
Main ingredient: Are all the same for every 1000 Roses line.
PhytoCellTecⓇ Alpine Rose, PhytoCellTecⓇ Malus Domestica Apple, PhytoCellTecⓇ Solar Vitis Grape Fruit Stem Cells are all cultivated plant stem cells biotechnologically produced and sustainable because only a small amount is needed to be used as cosmetic ingredients.
Each of the stem cells in Andalou Naturals 1000 RosesⓇ are originated from Alpine rose, apple and grapefruit as stated above hence the names of the plant at each of the stem cells.
According to the developer,
"Every stem cell contains specific epigenetic factors whose task is to preserve the stem cells' multi-potency and its ability to self-renew. Their researchers have discovered that plant stem cells contain epigenetic factors similar to those of adult human stem cells. Applied in the right way, they have a positive impact on the vitality of skin stem cells and their proper functioning".
Overall from their research findings, the stem cells were found to protect the skin from UV radiation, protect from damage due to environmental stress and delays skin aging by improving vitality and longevity of skin stem cells. Read here for more info on PhytoCellTecⓇ.
How to use: Simply pump a few drops, warm between your hands and apply on clean wet/dry skin. A little goes a long way and too much will be a bit oily. I usually applied generously before sleeping but sparingly during the day on wet face. However, I do apply in large amount for my hair (smell roses for days).
Colour: Colourless;
Scent: Roses with a little hint of berries (might be a little to strong if your're not preferring scenting product). However, do not worry as the scent comes from natural essential oil and not synthetic fragrance oil;
Texture: Very light, non-sticky oil.
Overall, the oil absorbed into the skin like sponge, however, it you apply to much, it'll leave a little bit oily residue on your skin.
Personal thought: I've been using it for more than a month, and I've find that I love everything about it. My skin was moisturized during the day and glowing in the morning. Small wrinkle under the eyes and a few acne scars are disappearing and I couldn't be more happier. I almost finished the bottle and already thinking of getting a new one soon.

The oil is so light that I used in on my hair, hands, face, body and under the eyes.
Will buy it again?: 3X YES, that's huge coming from me who usually doesn't buy the same skincare product the second time.
You will love it if:
- Loves strong rose scenting product.
- Beauty oils are your passion.
You will dislike it if:
- Prefer mild to no scent product.
- You couldn't cope with oily residue when applying too much.
