Key actives
Rosa Canina Fruit Oilemollient
Rosehip oil, pressed from the fruit of the dog rose. It is high in linoleic acid and carotenoids and is used for the look of marked, uneven skin. The name on the box points at it, and it is named fourteenth on this essence's own ingredient list.
Arbutinactive
Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two. The panel names it third on this essence's list, beside Rosa Canina Fruit Oil.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named nineteenth on this essence's list, alongside Rosa Canina Fruit Oil.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named twenty-seventh on this essence's list, alongside Rosa Canina Fruit Oil.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it twentieth on this essence's list, beside Rosa Canina Fruit Oil.
How to use
- Apply morning and night after toner and before serum, patting a few drops into the skin rather than rubbing it in. Let it absorb before moving to the next step.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Rosa Canina Fruit Oil and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil and all. We match this essence to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this essence contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citronellol and Geraniol. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this essence is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Rosa Canina Fruit Oil?
Arbutin, Allantoin and Adenosine. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Rosa Canina Fruit Oil sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Collagen and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract.

How it works
The Bulgarian Rose Intensive Multiple Essence is a 50ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The emollient it is built around is Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, named fourteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Arbutin, Allantoin and Adenosine, so the emollient is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Rosa Canina Fruit Oil stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence isoi sells in Korea, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this essence on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Rosa Canina Fruit Oil on the list.
- This list names Citronellol and Geraniol, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Arbutin works to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme present in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This results in less pigment, dark spots and skin lightening.
Tiffany Jow Libby, MDBoard-certified dermatologist, mindbodygreen Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

1 more professional perspective
People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
