Rose de Vie Serum

Rosehip Seed Oil

renowned for its naturally anti-ageing, antioxidant and replenishing benefits. This oil is particularly rich in the essential fatty acids which play an important role in the process of regenerating the skin’s natural barrier. It also assists in the hydration of the skin by preventing water loss, ensuring a supple texture and helping to protect skin against premature ageing. The seeds are cold pressed and the oil obtained is filtered several times through fine paper filters, making it non-comedogenic.

Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil

emollient oil from passion fruit. Rich in linolenic acid which plays a central role in the structure and function of the skin's essential barrier. It is an important skincare ingredient for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.

What does Rose de Vie Serum do for the skin? 

Rose de Vie Serum is a calming, oil-based serum designed to reduce redness, soothe sensitive or reactive skin and strengthen the skin barrier. Rosehip Seed Oil and Passionflower Seed Oil deliver essential fatty acids and antioxidants to nourish and repair, while a biotech-derived anti-inflammatory active reduces visible redness and irritation at a biological level. Skin is left calmer, softer, more supple and visibly more radiant.

Is Rose de Vie Serum suitable for sensitive skin? 

Yes. Rose de Vie Serum is specifically formulated for sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin. The biotech-derived soothing active Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid has clinically recognised anti-inflammatory and anti-irritation properties that calm redness and discomfort at source, while the essential fatty acid complex nourishes and restores the barrier without causing further sensitivity.

Can Rose de Vie Serum help with redness? 

Yes. The formula combines Rosehip Seed Oil, Passionflower Seed Oil and a biotech-derived soothing complex to visibly reduce redness and calm inflammation. Unlike many calming serums that only address surface symptoms, Rose de Vie works at a biological level to reduce the underlying inflammatory response, making it ideal for skin chronically prone to sensitivity, redness or irritation.

Is Rose de Vie Serum non-comedogenic? 

Yes. Despite its rich, oil-based texture, Rose de Vie Serum is non-comedogenic and will not clog pores. The formula uses cold-pressed, triple-filtered organic Rosehip Seed Oil, selected specifically for its barrier-repairing properties and its compatibility with all skin types including oily and congestion-prone skin.

Who should use Rose de Vie Serum? 

Rose de Vie Serum is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin, sensitive or reactive skin, skin prone to redness or irritation, mature skin needing nourishment and elasticity support, skin experiencing seasonal stress from cold weather, wind or travel, and post-procedure skin in need of barrier repair and comfort. It is also suitable for oily skin types due to its non-comedogenic formula.

How do you use Rose de Vie Serum? 

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin on the face, neck and décolleté, morning and night. Massage gently using upward strokes. It can be used alone or layered with other serums from the Dr Sebagh Serum Bar. If layering, apply after water-based serums and before moisturiser. For very dry or uncomfortable hands and feet, apply a few drops before massaging in High Maintenance Hand Cream for an intensive nourishing treatment.

Can Rose de Vie Serum be used with other serums? 

Yes. Rose de Vie Serum is designed to work within the Dr Sebagh Serum Bar and blends beautifully with any serum in the range. Mix a few drops with Supreme Maintenance Youth Serum to create a bespoke skin-plumping super serum, or combine with Platinum Gold Elixir and Signature Serum for the ultimate skin maintenance and rejuvenation ritual. It also pairs with Pure Vitamin C Powder Cream to brighten while calming. One exception: do not use at the same time as Retinol Night Repair, as Retinol Night Repair already contains Rosehip Seed Oil. Use them on alternate evenings instead.

Is Rose de Vie Serum good for mature skin? 

Yes. The essential fatty acids in Rosehip and Passionflower Seed Oils help nourish and replenish mature skin, improving suppleness, elasticity and overall radiance. The antioxidant complex protects against the environmental stress that accelerates visible ageing, while the soothing biotech active addresses the increased sensitivity that often accompanies maturing skin.

Is rosehip oil good for sensitive skin? 

Yes. Rosehip Seed Oil is one of the most well-established barrier-repairing ingredients in skincare, valued for its high concentration of essential fatty acids including Omega-3 and Omega-6. These help strengthen the skin barrier, reduce transepidermal moisture loss and calm redness, making rosehip oil particularly beneficial for sensitive, reactive or compromised skin. In Rose de Vie Serum, the rosehip oil is cold-pressed and triple-filtered for maximum purity and skin compatibility.

Does rosehip oil help reduce redness? 

Yes. Rosehip Seed Oil is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidant compounds that help support the skin barrier and reduce inflammation. In Rose de Vie Serum, the rosehip oil works alongside a dedicated biotech anti-inflammatory active, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, to deliver a more comprehensive and clinically targeted approach to calming redness than rosehip oil alone.

Can a facial oil help repair the skin barrier? 

Yes. Facial oils rich in essential fatty acids, such as Rosehip and Passionflower Seed Oils, help replenish the lipids that form part of the skin's natural barrier. This prevents moisture loss, protects against environmental stress and restores softness and elasticity. Rose de Vie Serum is specifically formulated around this principle, combining barrier-repairing oils with a biotech soothing active for a more complete repair response.

Is an oil-based serum suitable for acne-prone skin? 

Yes, when correctly formulated. Rose de Vie Serum uses cold-pressed, triple-filtered organic Rosehip Seed Oil which is non-comedogenic and will not clog pores. It can nourish and support the skin barrier in acne-prone skin without contributing to congestion, making it one of the few oil-based serums genuinely suitable for all skin types.

Can Rose de Vie Serum be used after aesthetic treatments? 

Yes. Rose de Vie Serum is one of Dr Sebagh's own recommendations for skin recovering from professional treatments. Its calming, barrier-repairing formula helps reduce post-treatment redness, restore comfort and support the skin's natural recovery process. After laser, peel or injectable treatments, always follow the specific aftercare guidance from your skincare professional.

Can Rose de Vie Serum be used for facial massage? 

Yes. The silky, lightweight oil texture makes Rose de Vie Serum ideal for facial massage, gua sha or lymphatic drainage techniques. It provides the slip and nourishment needed for effective massage while actively calming the skin and improving barrier function, making it a genuinely therapeutic choice for any massage ritual.
