essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

I have been using the essano body lotion and don't mind it's rose scent but this just smells wrong. It's got a hint of the fresh floral smell of the body lotion but it also has a more artificial smell, almost like a fruity nail polish remover or those nasty cheap scented nail polishes from back in the day. The packaging is nice enough, and will survive being dropped in the shower. The pump gives a good amount of product too. I suppose it does everything it says it will. It is gentle and foams up nicely but it won't cut through make up so I wash my face with almond oil to remove my make up first. All in all I using it up because I have it but I won't be repurchasing. I don't like to use something with such a bad and heavy smell on my face.

I purchased this as part of the Essano Rosehip Kit after hearing so many ladies rave about the range on here and reading about the benefits of rosehip oil.

I have oily, acne-prone skin so normally I tend to go for cleansers which specifically target these concerns, but I have previously used a more gentle cleanser and it worked really well with my skin so I wanted to give this a go.

I really liked the pump bottle it came in, it's my preferred style of packaging when it comes to cleansers as I find it allows you to disperse just the right amount of product without wastage.

Like the other products in the Essano Rosehip range, this has a lovely light rose fragrance, which is feminine but not overpowering, especially as I dislike a strong fragrance in skincare. The formula is a clear, gel-like liquid which is quite thin in consistency, similar to a lotion. I used a few pumps of this applied directly to my wet face, using either my hands or my exfoliating brush to cleanse my face.

I found that despite being a 'foaming' cleanser this didn't really seem to foam much for me at all, even with a few pumps. I also didn't feel like it really provided a thorough cleanse so preferred to use it at the end of the day after using a makeup remover and with the exfoliating brush to really give a proper cleanse.

This is a very gentle product and I liked that after using it my skin did feel clean and soft. I probably wouldn't purchase it myself again though as I felt it didn't really provide the clean my troubled skin really needs by itself and I would prefer something with a bit more punch to meet my skincare needs.

Have been using this for almost a year now and its only just starting to get low now. It is very gentle and doesnt dry your skin out. I need to use a makeup remover to completely remove makeup but have found my skin doesnt seem to get as many pimples since using this.

I love this product. I won a gift pack with this in it and wowzers I am amazed.

One pump (from the bottle I have anyway) gives me about a pea sized amount, maybe less, so I use two pumps. I find it lathers better on a face brush thingy rather than in my hands. However, without the brush, the formula is so silky!! It glides onto the face smoothly and it makes my face feel so amazing while its on and when it's washed off.

The smell is really interesting. I've smelt anything quite like it, and now I'm glad I have because I love the smell of it!! Everything about this product blows me away, and I'm so glad that it's soap free because it makes my face feel so much more moisturized.

This brand is now at the top of my list for skincare, i love it! so affordable and high quality! There seems to be a lot of us who love this brand, based on the glowing reviews.

I brought an Essano trial kit from Countdown, which included this facial cleanser.

Other products in the trial kit included Rosehip oil, facial moisturiser , night creme and body moisturiser.The little bottles are so very cute, and the trial sizes a perfect size. A great set to also take away travelling for a long weekend!

My skin can be dry, sensitive yet combination in some areas, it changes a lot during the seasons too. My skin tends to react to different products, so this was a great way to try all of these products to see if they were suitable. All of these products were fantastic and caused no irritation to my sensitive skin.

The packaging is great, stylish and looks like a luxury brand yet the price in comparison is so much cheaper than others! . The pump is great, more convenient and hygienic.

The facial cleanser is a lotion-like consistency and feels lovely cleansing the skin and so gentle on your skin. However, it does not do deep cleansing -so you will need a separate eye makeup cleanser to take away eye makeup and mascara. I think this is absolutely fine in my opinion, as its a gentle cleanser that doesn't leave your skin irritated or tight feeling like other cleansers!

The subtle fragrance of rosé is lovely and not overpowering.

Such a lovely product, like the rest of their ranges. All the range is now my holy grail! . I'm so glad i tried Essano out, as its so much more affordable than my clinique and Estée Lauder products.

A great cleanser that I will continue to repurchase!

I bought a full size bottle of this product after using up the smaller one from a trial pack because i really liked it. I don't use this product to remove makeup though because it doesn't cut through it very well at all, which I soon realized. So instead I use a makeup remover before I get into the shower, and use this cleanser when I'm in the shower & its been working great for me so far. I do find that it doesn't really lather up very well though but I'm not sure if ts supposed to-its been working nicely for me anyway. I love the smell & the texture of it is great. I will be repurchasing :-)

I purchased this because I love rosehip!! But unfortunatly I'm disappointed with this product.

Firstly I didn't feel that it clensed my face what so ever, and I diidnt notice any change in my skin. It did feel nice rubbing into my face but other than that it's nothing to rave about, plus it's quite expensive...

I love this! Bought the tester pack from countdown after deciding Cetaphil wasn't for me, and have been using it for two weeks. I've noticed my skin is firmer and my pores are smaller, and my blemishes on my chin and cheeks (which are usually out of control) have gotten much smaller. Would definitely recommend, great for a supermarket brand!

...so I had to try this cleanser. It comes with a pump and comes out in a gel form which turns into a creamy-foam with water like most cleansers do, just a bit creamier. It smells amazing, but I can't really describe the scent.

I need at least 2-3 pumps to cleanse my face and I use it twice as I don't feel it would do a very good job of removing my make-up.

It smells delicious though and I really like its consistency and how it doesn't dry out my skin. It's nothing special for me though, so once I used it up I won't be repurchasing this.

I had a tester of the cleanser, (as well as the other 3 items) it's beautiful to apply but sadly once finished I will switch. Rather then seeing an improvement in my skin, it's gotten dryer and redder with more break outs than usual. I believe I have sensitive combination skin that tends to me more dry, after a month and a bit of continuous use I have given up hope. I would recommend for everyone to at least give it ago as it's really affordable and readily available.
