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.

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 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 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 :)

I love love love this product, First off, I love the girly packaging and it smells super yummy. When using it you only need a really small amount to do entire face and neck and it feels amazing on my skin. The first time I used it my skin felt really dry but after I used it again I was hooked. My face has not felt this soft in years. I love it and have been using it every night. I will never use another exfoliator on my face again, I'm hooked

I am unashamedly in love with Essano products. There, I said it. Despite this being a supermarket product, it makes me feel like a million bucks. First off, the dusty pink packaging has an upmarket feel. For someone (me) looking to use more natural products, this range is a godsend. You will notice on reading the label that it's made in NZ and contains no nasties. The smell is lightly rosey (nothing overpowering here), the exfoliating beads are tiny and not particularly abrasive, however you will definitely notice that your face is smoother afterwards (just ask my husband - he pinches my scrub when his face is dry!) I absolutely love this product, so much so that in a recent discount promo I bought 3 tubes! Long live Essano!

This is by far the best exfoliater I've used, and its so cheap! It's so gentle on your skin and leaves your face feeling fresh and clean. My fiance also uses it daily and it has cleared up the issues he's had with his skin.

I have psoriasis so ex-foliating is really important for me so I can remove the dry skin from my face. I have tried other exfoliators, but they were often too harsh and stripped my skin of too much moisture. This one by Essano is great. I tried their moisturisers first ( I was attracted by the fact that they contained rosehip oil) and when they were good for myy skin I decided to use the exfoliator as well. It has been working really well for me, helping to remove my dry, scaly skin, and I do not find that it irritates my skin or dries it out too much.

I've tried a few scrubs before and i've found this one the best. There are a lot of small granules in it to really work into my skin but still be gentle on it. It feels so soft and smooth afterwards. I like the packaging its very cute, and the Rosehip smell is so good! Also i love that Essano is a great price too.

This is perfect for removing dirt and oil built up on my skin. I use it twice a week and it helps to smooth out and clean my skin leaving it feeling soft and looking clear. It's so gentle so it can be used on every skin type and won't cause irritation or redness to your skin. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry it still feels hydrated.
