essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

The first thing I noticed upon application is the smell! What is that smell?? It's almost a woody/smokey scent. I've used other lines of rosehip oil and they do not smell like that. The smell does go away after a while but I have to hold my breath on application. That aside, this is nice enough but I just don't find it works as well with smoothing complexion and taking away any dryness, as compared with other lines I have tried... It doesn't absorb very well, but I use it at night only. I would use it up but I probably wouldn't repurchase this and I do favor Trilogy's rosehip oil.

I am a big fan of Rosehip oil, it is a wonder ingredient. I also love the fact Essano is available in the supermarket. However the price of Essano Rosehip Oil is comparable to other brands like Evolu and Trilogy. (Essano is cheaper, but considering how long the product lasts it's not a price difference that would make your decision) The product itself is rather 'sticky' on the skin, not something I had ever experienced with other brands of Rosehip Oil. At the end of the day my skin felt sticky, like it does on days I wear sunscreen. As such, I do not consider this the best option on the market. However if this is all your budget extends to or you are unable to/can't be bothered getting hold of a different brand, get this one because rosehip oil is something everyone needs in their life!

A tiny tincture dropper in a brown colored bottle. The consistency is oily, of course. Not slippery like baby oil. A combo of dry/wet oil, it doesn't totally absorb into the skin and though I didn't use it with my makeup I kept it nighttime use it felt as if my makeup would slide off. The ingredients have great healing properties. However I didn't get any of the results I have a huge scar on my right eyelid and more on my left half of my face from a childhood accident and these didn't lighten or disappear in anyway. But to be fair nothing has helped reduce my facial scars,(haven't tried further surgery but 1 day love plastic surgery) these scars are perfect examples for any product claiming to improve or change the appearance of. In turn still believe in the product with its ingredients and over time if used longer there may be signs of scar reduction. The oil smells like wheat germ to me which is good for skin and hair. Helps with elasticity.

This is a really nice gentle face oil. I think that it did help with some redness on my skin. I didn't really find it all that moisturising though. I had to use a fair amount to feel that my skin had been moisturised. It is kind of an average product for me. Also I think it does help a bit with scars though if you keep up with putting it on them at least every night.

I thought I would tak a break from my super expensy trilogy face oil and see how this compared. (It's over half the price)! Sadly, I found it didn't absorb well and left my skin feeling greasy and coated. Also the scent was overpowering and not in the least light. I wouldn't purchase again

I received a bottle of this in a giveaway long ago. Unfortunately I didn't check the bottle and recently went I pulled it out to use it the dropper top at come apart and it was leaking. Luckily I had finished up another serum that comes in a dropper bottle so I managed to salvage what was left, about a third to a quarter of the bottle, and decant it into the other dropper bottle. I must've gotten a faulty bottle so I can't really comment on the packaging since I didn't use it. The rosehip and acai oil is really nice and light. Like the rosehip oils I have tried in the past this one sinks in and my skin drinks it up. I used to layer on my moisturizer straight after my facial oil but I am giving the oils more time to soak in these days. I haven't had any breakouts as a result of using this and my skin stays nicely moisturized and gets that glow that I get from facial oils. One thing that I do really like about this brand of rosehip oil is that to me it smells better than the bottle of plain Trilogy rosehip oil, but then this is mixed with acai oil so that probably takes away from the slightly fishy smell of just rosehip. That being said I haven't seen my skin get brighter from using this but then I only got one month's use out of what was salvaged, so it'd probably take longer to see results. But while I was using it did soften my fine lines like most facial oils will. It's a good rosehip oil it's just not outstanding because I've seen more facial brightening from other brands or other brands of facial oil have been absorbed my skin much quicker.

I have combination skin, dry on the cheeks/chin and normal to oily everywhere else. The oil helps a lot on the normal/oily bits but I found it just sits on the dry skin and doesn't do much, even when I have exfoliated. My Dad loves this stuff, he uses it to treat his psoriasis.

I received a bottle of this when I was pregnant with my second baby and was so thankful! I ended up going through two by the time I gave birth. I used it whenever I had a shower or when my baby bump felt itchy. It was so soothing and made my skin feel soft. I did find this particular brand to be a bit unpleasant in smell, possibly because I was pregnant so extra sensitive to smell at the time. I also found it to be a bit thicker than other brands that I’ve tried but once massaged into the skin it was fine, no greasy residue. I also used it on my face and neck, I loved the way it kept my skin feeling healthy.

It comes in lovely packaging and a nice glass bottle. It's a really affordable brand and made in NZ which I like.

You only need a small amount and then gently rub into your face and neck otherwise it can be quite greasy. I didn't overly like the smell, it hydrated my skin but wasn't wow for it. It's a really nice affordable alternative but I'll stick with my usual.

I liked how this applied to my skin and it helped with suppleness and stretching in pregnancy. It does stain fabric though.
