Valentine’s Day may be over but here at the DC Edit office, we are still infatuated with roses — rose-infused skincare to be exact. Not only are these blooms the epitome of love and all things romantic, roses actually possess a ton of skincare benefits. They are hydrating, soothing, full of antioxidants, yet extremely gentle on the skin. From rosewater to rose oil to actual rose petals and everything in between, we curated a list of our favourite rose-infused skincare products. Read on to find out how to score soft and radiant skin with these power petals!
Cleansers
1. Pixi’s Rose Cream Cleanser (S$30)
This creamy cleanser is enriched with mineral-rich mud to thoroughly cleanse all that grime and dirt accumulated on your face. It is also infused with the perfect combination of rose and chamomile to soothe any form of redness or irritation that might arise. For that, Pixi’s Rose Cream Cleanser is suitable for people of all skin types so you don’t have to worry if your skin would be able to handle it!
2. Crabtree & Evelyn’s Evelyn Rose Soft Touch Face Foam (S$35.50)
Crabtree & Evelyn has found the perfect way to balance hydration and effective cleansing with their gel to forth facial foam. It’s packed with hydrating coconut water and Crambe Abyssinica oil which functions to promote smooth and supple skin. The result? Cleansed and radiant skin that is soft to the touch.
Toners
1. Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner (S$69)
This toner by Fresh is all the rage and well deservingly so. It’s infused with real rose petals that float weightlessly in the pollution-protecting and impurities-collecting formula. Sweep it across your face with a cotton pad and this refreshing emulsion will leave your skin feeling soothed and hydrated.
2. Natio’s Rosewater and Chamomile Gentle Skin Toner (S$19.90)
Balance up your PH levels with this number by Natio. It is a plant-based lotion loaded with rose water and chamomile to soothe and firm. We also love how this formula is super lightweight, making the subsequent application of the rest of your skincare products a breeze. The best part is that this toner is very affordable and one bottle can definitely go a long way!
Masks
1. Origins’ Retexturising Mask with Rose Clay (S$39)
Those who suffer from dull or oily skin will love this retexturizing mask from Origins. Formulated with a blend of Mediterranean Rose Clay, Canadian Willowherb and exfoliating Jojoba beads, you can slather this powerful mask all over your face to slough away any dead skin cells for flawless and clean skin that feels silky smooth.
2. Fresh’s Rose Face Mask (S$95)
There’s just something about Fresh’s Rose Face Mask that makes us feel like we treated ourselves to a luxurious spa. From its consistency down to its scent, everything about this mask is boujee. It contains both rose water and rose petals which are blended into a gel-like formula that feels cooling and therapeutic.
Facial Oils
1. Chantecaille’s Rose de Mai Face Oil (S$290)
Chantecaille’s facial oil offers a targeted, botanical solution for dull and ageing skin. Its chock full of luxurious rose oils and plant actives work to smoothe lines and brighten complexions. Drip a drop of this facial oil onto cleansed skin and feel it penetrate immediately to reveal bright and fresh-looking skin with a gentle, dewy glow.
2. Milani’s Prep + Brighten Rose Face Oil (S$30)
This two-in-one oil helps to tackle dryness and dullness, all while providing a smooth base for subsequent makeup application. Rosehip oil’s anti-inflammatory properties protect the skin while Vitamin A and C brightens and evens complexion. This hydrating face oil can also be used for your hair and body. Feel free to massage this product into any area that requires that extra boost of hydration.
Facial Mists

Jurlique’s rose-infused balancing Mist will leave your thirsty skin feeling quenched, soothed and refreshed thanks to its botanical extracts. Use it as a hydrating mist, setting spray or a midday pick-me-up — our skin has never felt this refreshed.
2. Pixi’s Rose Glow Mist (S$24)
We’ve all heard about Pixi’s iconic Glow Tonic which reveals glowy skin in an instant and I’m glad to inform you that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree for the brand’s rose glow mist. Packed with seven flower oils, this dual-phase formula is a hydrating facial mist that gives skin a subtle glow in just a spritz. Rose Oil moisturises and restores skin while Avocado Oil serves as an excellent source of antioxidants. Use it anywhere and anytime for plumped and energized skin.
