essano Hydrating Rosehip Pure Defence SPF15 Moisturiser

I like Essano's products because they are made here in NZ and they don't have the not so good for you ingredients such as parabens. So really you can't go wrong.

The moisturizer comes in a pump bottle which I prefer to a tube simply due to ease of use. And it also has SPF15. When I get a moisturizer I try to get one's with SPF so that it's protecting my face during the day.

The moisturizer made my skin feel soft and well nourished. The scent was nothing to write home about but it wasn't offensive either.

Much like most of Essano's products, I like it. I would use it again because it is pleasant, works, affordable, natural, cruelty free and made in NZ. All things I like in a product (particularly skincare). But it never becomes something I couldn't give up to try something else.

After using the non SPF Essano moisturiser for a long time I decided to switch over to the SPF one because any SPF is better than none in my opinion. The original moisturiser was one of the very first products Essano brought out when they launched and I have been using it on and off since then. I need to switch things up every now and then so my skin doesn't tire of it and have a reaction to it. This bottle is a great size and I like the pump dispenser. I tend to use two pumps as I put the moisturiser on my face and as far down my neck and chest as I can. It turns to lock it for travel which is great, you don't waste any product in locking it to move it about. The product has minimal fragrance to it and is the consistency you would expect for what it is. My skin has had no reaction or breakout any of the times I've come back to it. My skin looks lovely and hydrated and is something I will repurchase many times over.

Again a muskey rosey smell. Wasint to sire what to expect after using the night cream. It looked and smelled the same. So i applyd a little bit just to see that it not to greasy for a day cream and it was not it was smooth and absorb very fast and my skin looked healthy and qaa ready to apply my foudation.

Another amazing essano product that suits my skin. It comes in a good sized bottle and is reasonably priced. I love the smell of this! It has a mild musky scent. The texture is thick but it was easy to smooth over face. After each use my skin feels well moistursed and fresh. I love the fact that this can be purchased from my supermarket for a reasonable price. It is a quality brand and one of my beauty must haves.

I've been a bit disappointed with this product. I love the fact that it's an SPF moisturiser, but a few minutes after putting it on, I find that it dries quite sticky on my skin. This makes it really difficult to use as a base for my concealer, as it doesn't blend into my skin very well. As it says, it's definitely a non-greasy formula, but that might be what contributes to some of the sticky, dry feeling once it's on.

I have tried many face moisturisers over the years and this is the only one I have ever repurchased. I have very oily skin on my face, so I need a moisturiser that isn't going to leave me feeling greasy. I found this at countdown when it was on special for around $15, so I decided to give it a try.

I was surprised to find that when I used the product, it absorbed into my skin straight away. There was no greasy residue and I felt well moisturised. Usually I have to wait a long time for moisturisers to absorb before I can apply my makeup, but now I no longer need to wait.

The smell is nice and light, nothing overpowering. It has a faint rose scent to it. I love that it is NZ made, cruelty free and it can be easily purchased from countdown. Also it is spf 15 which is a bonus.

One problem I've found with the packaging is that the pump can't reach the product when it's half empty. This can be a bit annoying, but it hasn't deterred me from buying it again.

I'm not sure if this would be the best product for someone with dry skin, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone with oily skin.

I love Essano products and have found this to be really nice on my skin. It is really hydrating and my skin instantly feels healthy and moisturised. I like that it contains an spf as this is very important especially for a face cream. It smells nice and I like the convenient pump bottle that sits nicely in my bathroom cabinet. I’ll definitely keep using this lovely product.
