essano Hydrating Rosehip Gentle Exfoliator

I was excited to try the Essano Facial Scrub Rosehip Exfoliator as Essano appears to be a conscious supermarket brand with a lot of good points to their products and packaging. I've tried and loved other beautiful smelling rosehip products in their range.

My intention was to use it three times a week in the shower as a cleanser substitute, however as a facial exfoliator this is just too gentle. When it comes to removing dead skin and impurities you want plenty of grit and this just seemed creamy and better marketed as a cleanser.

This scrub is very fine-grain, so is really gentle. But at the same time, it is also very effective. It's not at all drying either, which is nice.

I waited for this to come out for so long. Essano previewed it for so long on their Instagram that I actually started to get annoyed with how long it was taking to get onto the shelves for me to be able to try it. That is my only whingy comment to make about this product however. This cleanser comes in a handy top down tube which makes it super easy to get use in the shower. The product itself is an almost mustard brown/yellowish colour and does not have much of a scent to it. It has a very creamy texture and the exfoliating bits aren't too harsh feeling on my skin. Because of the thick creamy texture it feels like a little bit of luxury has been put on my face and I really like it. It does a great job with what it's supposed to do and my skin looks great and is smooth after using it. I love the whole Essano range and this had been a fantastic and much needed addition to the existing product range.

Another awesome product from Essano, comes in a nice tube with its flip top lid that's easy to squeeze the goodies out, this is a caramel coloured cream cleanser quite thick in its texture containing tiny rosehip bio granules. A very mild scent reminding me of vanilla gone wrong. I rub this around gently on wet skin on my face and neck after I've cleansed it. I'm finding this to be a gental exfoliater not harsh on my skin yet still does a good job of removing dry skin and cleansing. It is like a combination of a creamy cleanser and exfoliant in one. I'm loving this it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and glowing. Doesn't give you that extra lets scrubb it all off feeling though and sometimes I'm after that feeling. Price wise this is a good quality product so for me value for your money and it's not like your going to use it all up in a hurry as a bit the size of a walnut does the job so it will last a while.
