essano Hydrating Rosehip Pure Defence SPF15 Moisturiser

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.

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.

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.

Again I can't rave enough about the Essano products - this is just as fab! It smells great and feels nice on. Very reasonably priced too

A natural moisturizer with SPF protection is hard to find so when I saw this on sale at countdown I had to try it. It was about $20 regularly but I got if for about $12. After using it for a couple of weeks I would easily pay full price for this,

It comes in a nice bottle with a pump applicators and the formula is nice and light with a rose tint to it. It also has a lovely smell which wasn't too strong or overpowering. The moisturizer absorbs well and provided me what my skin needs - I have oily, sensitive skin and it did not irritate me or cause more oil to be produced.

I'm very happy with this product and will purchase again mainly because of the bonus of an SPF and the fair price.

I looove this moisturiser. It absorbs into your skin really well without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling on your face like some spf moisturisers. It's a great price, love how it's natural. The pump makes it super easy to use and you don't need a lot so lasts for ages. Highly reccomend this.

I have been using the Essano Moisturiser Rosehip Spf15 for a while now, and I have come to the conclusion that I really like it! The moisturiser is gorgeous with a subtle feeling of luxury to it, and I love knowing that my skin is protected by such a lovely product.

Firstly the Essano range is cruelty free and made in NZ, yippee! I try to always by beauty products which don't harm the bunnies, so it was great to see that Essano is ethical as well as producers of nice products. This moisturiser comes in a lovely pump pot style bottle, and the cream itself is surprisingly thick for a day moisturiser. It still smooths into the skin easily though, and doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy or oily at all. I've found my makeup sits on this foundation no problem, and it also has a very subtle scent which is absolutely lovely.

Does everything a moisturiser should, with the benefit of looking lovely on my makeup table! :)

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.
