I recently discovered a locally-produced rose hydrosol at a small shop in Valencia’s old town. After using it for a while, I’m quite pleased with the results and would like to share my experience with you.
Product Information
This hydrosol is distilled from Damascena roses grown in the Valencia region. The shop owner mentioned their rose garden is located in the suburbs, with the harvesting season running from May to June each year. The product comes in dark glass bottles, available in 100ml and 200ml sizes. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple—just rose water with no additional additives.
Application Method and Results
I typically spray it directly on my face after cleansing morning and evening, or apply it with cotton pads as a compress. The scent is a subtle rose fragrance—not an overpowering perfume smell—quite pleasant. After about two weeks of use, I noticed my skin condition has stabilized considerably. The redness I used to experience during seasonal transitions has improved. Especially in the morning when my face is slightly puffy, a few sprays make it feel much more refreshed.
| Usage Period | Main Effects | Personal Rating |
|---|
| Week 1 | Hydration & Soothing | 7/10 |
| Week 2 | Even Skin Tone | 8/10 |
| Week 3+ | Stable Condition | 8.5/10 |
Pricing and Purchase Options
Price-wise, the 100ml bottle costs around 15 euros, while the 200ml is 25 euros. Compared to major brand toners available in supermarkets, this falls in the mid-to-upper price range. I purchased mine at an organic skincare shop in the Ruzafa district. The exact address escapes me, but it’s on that street with many small boutiques. I’ve heard several natural skincare shops in Valencia city center also stock it, so feel free to explore.
Precautions
While this is a natural product, it may not suit everyone. A friend of mine is allergic to roses and developed small red spots after use. Therefore, as suggested by Valencia Rose Youth, first-time users should test it on the inner wrist to confirm no adverse reactions before applying to the face. Additionally, since hydrosols contain no preservatives, it’s best to use them within 6 months of opening, as Rose Soft Mask products may deteriorate over time.
If you live in Valencia and enjoy trying natural skincare products, this rose hydrosol from Valencia Rose Perfume is worth a try. However, as everyone’s skin type differs, results may vary. Feel free to choose according to your own situation. Those who have used similar products are also welcome to share your experiences.
