I'm currently enjoying using it. My skin is dry and has become quite parched with age, so I've been consistently using oils. In winter, I mix it with cream as the final step, and in this weather, I warm it between my palms and pat it into my skin. It seems to make my base more hydrated, and my makeup appears to apply better as a result.
ConsFirst off, it's expensive. I received it as a gift and just used it, but after checking Hwahae, I'm a bit concerned about the number of potential allergens. Though my skin isn't particularly sensitive, it's still worrying.
TipWhen applying a BB cream that isn't very hydrating, mixing in a couple of drops of this oil seems to help it spread more evenly.

My friend brought this back as a souvenir from her European trip. Reading the reviews, I noticed people are divided on the scent. My friend mentioned that while the fragrance is a bit peculiar, it's still usable. Personally, I didn't find it off-putting. It's not what you'd call a luxurious rose scent, but more of a natural, earthy rose aroma. Overall, I'm satisfied with how it feels! When my skin feels parched, I layer it like this: toner, essence or sheet mask, moisturizer, and then this oil. The next morning, my skin feels incredibly soft! I was a bit surprised to see six potential allergens listed in the ingredients, but fortunately, it works well for me. Oh, and for a light moisturizing effect, I love mixing a few drops into my cream!
ConsThe packaging is a bit inconvenient. It feels like the oil tends to leak around the opening.
TipFor a beautiful glow, try mixing a small amount with your foundation. It's a trick I often used during particularly dry seasons!

Everyone says the scent is strange, but I find it quite alright. I can't say there's anything particularly special about it; it's similar to regular face oils. I plan to use it consistently. It comes in a plastic container.
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. I've been using it for less than a week, so...

I've been using rose oil from other organic brands, but Botanicus feels more refreshing and has a fresher scent, which I love. If you want to enjoy a natural rose fragrance rather than an artificial one, I highly recommend this. I also appreciate how the bottle opening is designed for clean and easy use.
Cons1. Like products from most companies, this contains castor oil, grape seed oil, and many other oils. If you apply too much, it can feel heavy on the skin. 2. While the price has become similar to that in its country of origin after being imported, it's still set a bit high, which is disappointing. (Before that, there were some bold sellers pricing it at around $100 per bottle...)
TipNot recommended for summer use, but great for use before bed in winter.

It brings back memories of my first European trip five years ago when I visited Prague and bought one bottle of this oil. I remember how anxious I felt as it was running out. Last year, I went to Europe again and made a special trip to Prague just to buy more! This time, I stocked up big time. Using this has transformed my dry skin into combination-dehydrated. I use it every morning and night. My skin was so dry before! The scent changed a bit over time - the original had a gorgeous rose fragrance, but I've grown to love the current one too. Now that it's available for purchase in Korea, I'm thrilled! No more spending hundreds on plane tickets just for this beauty gem!
ConsThe only drawback was that it wasn't available for purchase in Korea. Now that we can order it domestically, there are absolutely no downsides!
TipI often mix it with foundation for a dewy look, or blend it with eyeshadow for a more hydrated, vibrant effect.

He said he bought it on a whim since his colleagues were getting it as souvenirs. I wasn't familiar with the brand, so I looked it up online and found out it's famous because Jun Ji-hyun uses it. The bottle is compact, but as you use it, you realize there's quite a lot of product. The subtle rose scent makes applying it a pleasant experience.
ConsMy skin is so oily that I don't really need to apply additional oils. I tried using this for a couple of nights before bed because of the good reviews, but it felt too greasy and my hair kept sticking to my cheeks. I had a feeling that continued use might lead to blemishes, so now I just use it as a leg massage oil before bed.
TipWhen I massage a suitable amount into my legs before bed, I wake up with reduced leg swelling. My legs used to get really dry and scaly in winter, but now they're smooth and supple. It's perfect as a nighttime massage oil!
