essano Hydrating Rosehip Gentle Exfoliator

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.

I use this product on a daily basis, it's got a good ratio of aggregate to cream and you really feel like it's scrubbing away the grimy day.

The smell is pleasant and natural with a hint of sweetness and the packaging is brilliant, clean and very appealing.

In my routine I follow this product up with a couple of pumps of the foaming facial cleanser just to calm the skin and remove any lingering traces of the scrub.

If I use the scrub on it's own I find that my skin gets very dry, very quickly following my shower.

I have always been a big fan of Essano products.I was extremely excited to try this exfolitor.

First time trying this out , straight away I did notice the difference how my skin felt. My skin totally felt smooth & really soft. This definitely moisturize my skin, leaving it feeling so hydrated. Really gentle on the skin and suitable for skin type.

I really do recommend this product. You can find this in your local supermarket.

Im not usually one to use exfoliators but I did enjoy using this product. It smells delicious - I only used a small amount (probably the size of a 20c coin) and once I had rubbed it on my face I still had a bit left so rubbed on my arms. I don't like the feel of my skin after use - my skin felt a little bit dry. All and all I would probably buy this again as it is a good priced product and didn't irritate my skin.

This exfoliator is pretty good. I have combination skin which is prone to breakouts. This exfoliator does not irritate my skin at all. I have been using it daily for a week now and have had no issues. The packaging of this product is simple. The texture is slightly gritty (as you would expect) and the smell of the product is not overpowering. The product comes out as a light brown colour. The 'beads' which exfoliate the skin are not too rough so do not irritate the skin yet by the end of it my skin feels polished and super clean. I tend to use a moisturiser after I pat dry and I do not have any problems with that eithet. Overall, I am glad this product is around. Happy with the fact that there are no weird chemicals in it. Would most likely repurchase once I finish this tube. Although a little goes a long way so won't even have to worry for a while!

I really enjoyed using this product. Afer usuing it once a day for five days i found my skin feeling really smooth, it looked brighter and well moisturised. it also did a good job at removing my make up. It smells, nice and has small exfoliating beads in it, I will keep using this product as my skin feels and looks great.

I really like this product. The colour of the tube is nice and not like another product out there (that I've seen anyway!) I like the little gold at the bottom however I struggled to actually know who it was made by because its in small font at the bottom!

The big one for me is that it is natural and made in New Zealand - love supporting local products over imported brands any day!

Originally when I first used this, the colour surprised me. Its brown! I wasn't expecting that haha. However, it smells lovely. Almost a little lemony to me which I really liked. Probably is supposed to smell like rose so maybe my nose is broke!

I have to say, my face does feel really lovely - very smooth! However I have had a breakout of pimples on my chin. Its probably because my skin is freaking out about having something good used on it!

I think it is a really good price too. Its NZ made so that is value.

I really like this exfoliator and definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Or buy myself when mine runs out!

Thanks for another awesome trial, BR xo

I purchased the product for the bargain price of $10 at Countdown, so I'm already impressed with it as rose-hip based products are usually quite pricy. However the quality of this product is phenomenal. It's fine granules lightly exfoliate while the rose-hip soothes and softens your skin. I have used it twice a week for a couple of weeks now and I have noticed that my skin has become noticeably softer to the touch. I do still use a gentle moisturiser after I exfoliate however.

The packaging is gorgeous, a nice dusky pink with black white and gold lettering. The amount of product inside is generous and the lid on the bottom style packaging ensures that you will be able to get every drop out of it!

I really really liked this product. It wasn't as harsh as I was expecting, so really gentle on the skin. Upon washing off I was left with very very soft skin that seemed to be drinking in all the nutrients. Felt very moisturised afterwards and not oily. Would definetly use again and being able to purchase from the supermarket is a added bonus :)
