essano Hydrating Rosehip Moisture Restorative Night Crème

I love using a rich, nourishing cream at night to restore hydration to my skin. I tried the Essano Rosehip Night Creme after hearing great things about rosehip oil and Essano as a brand - I sure wasn't disappointed!

This creme is LOVELY! It comes in a high-end-feel glass screw-top jar. The jar isn't huge, so you don't get a whole lot of bang for your buck, but the creme does go a long way and the quality is wonderful. The creme is rich, super smooth, and glides into your skin. Every morning I wake up to find my skin soft and very hydrated.

And did I mention the delicious scent? This product smells of roses, which can never be a bad thing! :-) Definitely recommend.

I bought the Essano test box at Countdown, and this was one of the products. It's a trial size cream that comes in a glass jar.

I like that the scent is very rosey, it smells like Turkish delight. I also like that it has a creamy luxurious feel on the skin.

What I don't like is that there is a slightly greasy residue left behind which doesn't sink in. I tried using it as a handcream, thinking the richness would sink into my drier hands but it does the same there too. This is not a problem of this cream alone, I have found other night creams similar. Also, I suspect that this cream was the cause of a large spot that is usually dormant.

So the final verdict is that I like it but don't love it, and will revert to a lighter night cream.

I bought this when i was too tight to fork out for my usual $100+ night creme that worked fantastic at a price. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this works. its a nice rich creme which i prefer at night. A little goes a long way. i use this in conjunction with the Essano Rosehip Oil. Perfect combination at a good price. No irritation on my sensitive skin either.

I purchased a trial set by Essano from Countdown and a sample of this was in it. A nice rich cream, this product is also light and not too heavy. Pleasantly fragranced with roses and lemon it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. A little goes a long way. I have been using this for the past two weeks on my face and neck, and still have enough for another two! Made in Aotearoa, this is a great homegrown product.

I decided to buy a set of 3 items from this brand from my local Farmers as a christmas present for myself, it included in the set this moisturizer, an eye cream and a face serum. My gosh I'm glad I did! I have discovered my holy grail night time cream. At first, the smell weirded me out! It was just very odd but now I am completely fine with the smell because I know what it does for my skin! This nigh6 cream orbsorbs in so fast, it is really thick and feels quite luxurious on my skin. When I wake up in the morning my skin is super plump and radiant feeling I am absolutely in love with it

I was so enchanted by this night creme, and when I tried it for the first time it was perfect. I was in love. I use this every night and my skin has never broken out and has passed it dry days.

A small 10g glass jar of Essano Rosehip Night Creme was included in the Essano Rosehip Treat Your Skin pack that I bought.

The little frosted glass jar has a black plastic screw top lid and the base of the jar is quite solid and sturdy. Rich in skin-renewing certified organic Rosehip Oil, with organic Aloe Vera, Jojoba and Shea Butter, this white coloured night cream has a smooth consistency with a subtle rose scent. The cream feels quite 'wet' when its initially applied to the skin but this allows you to give your face, neck and décolleté a light massage while the cream is being absorbed.

The jar does say that this night creme is suitable for all skin types but my oily skin did not like it at all! I found Essano Rosehip Night Creme to be far too rich and deeply moisturising for my skin type and I felt quite oily the next morning. After a few nights of use, it actually caused me to break out with a 'rash' of milia under my chin and across my forehead. Thankfully, these went away on their own a few days after I stopped using the cream.

I'm glad that I bought the sample pack, as I would have been extremely disappointed if I'd bought a full sized bottle of this.

Would I recommend it? I'd suggest purchasing the Treat Your Skin pack first (to see if you like the products) before purchasing full sized bottles. Would I purchase it again? No.

I bought this because I could get it at the supermarket when I didn't have time to get to Lush to buy my usual night cream. It has more packaging than it really needs around the jar but it does make it look elegant on the shelf. Once it is unpackaged the actual product jar is serviceable but still looks pretty on the counter top. I love the smell but my skin feels like it could use a little more moisture right after I put it on. That said my skin is looking really good and the few sun marks on my face seem to be fading since I started using it. The instructions do say to layer the night cream over rosehip oil so that may be why it isn't heavy. Or maybe my skin is just getting drier!

This just as good as the other Essano products I have tried, and I rate them all very highly! It feels nice and light on my skin and doesn't feel heavy or greasy. Makes my skin smooth. It is so reasonably priced and available in most supermarkets.

I use this every night and have been really happy with the results. It is quite thick but absorbs really quickly and leaves my skin soft and smooth. I have oily skin and haven't been prone to breakouts using this cream.
