I was gifted this in a tester size in a giftpack. Was a little hesitant at first as it is a supermarket available product but after hearing great things about the brand from friends I gave it a go. I thought it was great! The cinnamon really gets in there and my skin felt clean. The gel formula made it nice and easy to use. I didnt break out after either which is a bonus.

Don’t generally trust supermarket brands but was running out of ideas on how to fix my acne/blemish prone oily and sensitive skin. And my mum brought the trial pack for me. Honestly this cinnamon cleanser changed my life, this paired with the kale moisturiser have transformed my skin.
Tips: Make sure that you add water to get the true foaming power.
This is actually quite nice and gentle for a gel cleanser that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and stripped of moisture. It doesn't have any SLS or nasties and it mostly natural. I found a little really goes a long way since it foams up pretty well. I am drawn to cinnamon scents so I love the sweet, slightly spicy cinnamon scent of this. I like to use this as my second cleanse after I use my oil cleanser to get off my sunscreen or makeup. I would like if there was a little more product in the tube as I'm used to my cleansers having at least 75ml or 100ml of product but it does last a long time and is quite inexpensive.
Tips: Lovely as a second cleanse after your oil cleanser.
I tried out the 20mL version of this available in the essano Superfoods sampler which came with mini's of the night cream, moisturiser, facial oil, and this cleanser. The cleanser comes in a simple white squeezy tube, which meant the product was easy to get out. The cleanser is a thick gel, and a cinnamon brown in colour, and the cleanser looks sparkly (not sure how they achieved that affect but it looks super cool!). The cinnamon scent is not overly strong and smells super yummy, which made this cleanser quite enjoyable to use every morning. The cleanser foams up well when you add water and washes off easily. I found the cleanser to be super gentle and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. My skin always felt much softer and smoother after using this, so this definitely works at purifying the skin. A little product also went a long way, despite owning the mini version I still got two month's use out of this, which is insane! I would happily purchase the full size version of this.
I really wanted to love this product especially after reading all the good reviews on it. Sadly not a product for me.
It comes in a white tube for ease of application. It has a thick gel texture which is quite creamy and goes on really well. It bubbles up once you add it to water on your skin.
To me it doesn't have a strong cinnamon scent which I was hoping it would. It also has a slight play doh type smell to it.
It does well at cleaning your skin, however it dries my skin out and I find I have to apply double the amount of moisturiser afterwards.
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!
I received a travel sided one in a goodie bag and have used numerously while traveling. I love the smell and feel on my skin. Leaves my face feeling refreshed and clean and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dull at all. Will be repurchasing!
Tips: A little goes a long way.
I bought the mini kit with this item in it. I wasn’t disappointed whatsoever, this stuff smells amazing! It leaves you feeling so refreshed and when used in conjunction with the other products your skin feels divine and has a beautiful healthy glow to it.
Tips: Can’t go wrong with this product. Little is always more.
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!
I have really sensitive and dry skin and I am always nervous to try out new products as I am scared they will cause a reaction. However, I read up on the ingredients of this product and thought I would give it a try. I was really pleased when I tried it as it did not cause a reaction at all and really got into my pores and cleaned my skin. It also can be purchased at the supermarket which is quite handy, and it smells so good too.
