I pick this up on a whim when I had run out of my favourite cleanser and had an Essano voucher that needed using. I usually avoid anything that has the words ‘foaming’ in its name but this one intrigued me with its inclusion of cinnamon. And this is very cinnamony. It smells amazing! I use it as a morning cleanse and it almost makes me feel like I am having a morning cappuccino!
Despite being foaming, it does not dry my skin out at all like other foaming cleansers. It’s doesn’t contain SLS or other culprits that cause that horrible tight feeling. It just leaves my skin feeling cleansed but comfortable.
Ive only used this as my first cleanse in the morning. I didn’t use it to remove makeup (I prefer a balm cleanser for make up removal) so I’m not sure how good it would be for that. It is however, perfect for a second or morning cleanse. I would definitely use this again - just pop one in your trolley at the supermarket!
Yay, have been waiting for this range to become available for review! I'm a huge fan of trying out new-to-the-market cleansers that are more natural based so I was excited to give this a go. First off, the scent really got my attention. The strong cinnamon scent really packs a punch and I found it very enjoyable to the senses. The colour is a rich red and made the antioxidant claim seem legit. Anything that colour has got to be good for your skin, right? Sometimes I find natural cleansers don't foam up as well as their more chemical counterparts, but this wasn't an issue, it foamed up really nicely. I washed my face then repeated as I always do and my skin was left feeling very well cleansed with no traces of makeup left behind. With regular use I could see an improvement to my skin's general condition. It's a bit more expensive than I'd usually pay for a cleanser but I think it's worth it.
Tips: Not for those who don't love the scent of cinnamon!
