essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

I love the Rosehip by Essano range and this cleanser is fab. However, two problems I have with it are it smells quite strongly, I don't know if there is a lot of alcohol in it, but that's what it smells like. Second, it doesn't lather up very well. Having said that, I love it and have ben using it for about 5 months now.

I started with the trial pack and then bought the full size as I liked it. It is a vegan cleanser with some organic ingredients and states it on the bottle. It is meant for all skin types, meaning you don’t have to figure out your skin type. The trial size is now done in a small tube, it used to be a small pump bottle, both options are good for travelling with. The full size is a brown tinted plastic bottle with a dark pink rose coloured label in it.

It is a clear gel and goes on easy. The gel is not runny, it is thicker than a lotion and can hold its shape in your hand. When I first started using it the smell did get to me a little and I didn’t like it. Now I’m not so fussed over the smell but not completely in love with it either.

Depending on what you are using with this depends on the amount of foam. I take 2 pumps from the small trial size bottle or about ½ a pump from the big bottle. By itself with water, it foams well. I have been using a Konjak sponge while it foams it does not foam as much, similar on the occasions where I use a flannel or face cloth. When cleansing it does not feel tight on my skin, this is including when I had mild sunburn on my face. If I haven’t bothered to take off my make up; bb cream, lipstick/gloss remains, powder and bronzer, the cleanser also takes it off. I haven’t tried it on my waterproof mascara yet.

At present this will be my main go to cleanser as it is gentle on my skin and works well with my normal combination type. And I am planning on rebuying once I have run out as it is reasonably priced. It pops up on special about every 2 months or so at Countdown.

Beautiful light cleanser that leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It foams up really well so you dont have to use too much product each time. Personally I'm not a big fan of the scent of this product however only having just discovered rose hip doesnt smell like flowers then that's justifiable. My face doesnt feel dry after using it. Great price for the amount of product you get.

I'm a huge Essano fan, but I haven't delved into their cleansers before. Because cleansers can be so drying I've opted for a higher end, more prescriptive cleanser in the past.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this - it really is what it says. A gentle, foaming cleanser. It's not really sudsy, it produces a light froth.

It doesn't strip or over cleanse your skin but it does effectively remove grime and makeup (except waterproof mascara, but heck, we're not expecting miracles people)

It's a very generous size and it's a pump bottle, yay!

Overall I honestly don't think you can find a better supermarket cleanser. Oh, and its natural! And kind to bunnies.

Winning!

The Essano hydrating rosehip gel cleanser really works wonders, it leave my skin free of all makeup residue and feeling healthy and dewy, it works especially well with the other Essano skin care. I apply it with a flannel and then lather it with my hands. Its hard to find a cleanser that will remove long lasting or even waterproof foundation but this one really gives a great cleanse. And the bonus is it contains over 97.38% natural organic ingredients which is very appealing. I really want to support products that have no nasty chemicals because who wants to put hidden toxins on their skin. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a great makeup removing cleanser.

I brought this from the supermarket after yet again running out of my normal cleanser that I purchase online.

I know that rosehip is good for your skin and so thought that this would be awesome, I was right, it was lovely in fragrance nothing overpowering, the texture was spot on not too watery nor too thick that would prevent it easily being pumped out of the bottle.

Design wise it sat nicely on my vanity sink, just right and the pump was easy to use, especially with wet hands. Cleansing action was divine, almost squeaked afterwards, it made my skin feel soft and look brighter, and didn't aggravate me nor set off my weird combi skin swing to the dry side. Overall a solid good everyday cleanser that is good value for money and easy accessible.

This is the other half of the cornerstone of my beauty regime. I have a skin condition which requires me to vigilantly keep my skins moisture content and use very mild soaps that will not dry it out while trying to keep my skin clean. I first stumbled across this while on holiday at my sister in laws place, due to my skin issues I noted down the name of it, went home and did my research to double check some ingredients, then went back to the supermarket and purchased the Essano range in its entirety and I have never looked back. For the first time in my life since I was a child I have good skin. I loved what this has done for me so much after I raved about it on Facebook a friend of mine who is a beauty blogger asked me to write a review for her site to which I happily obliged and even Essano shared it on their Facebook page, sufficed to say I adore this product. In the case of this cleanser a little goes a long way, just like its matching moisturiser. I use these together and have felt a wonderful improvement in my skin. I have stopped overproducing oils on my face and has calmed immensely which I put down to using a mild cleanser that does not aggravate my temperamental skin. Using it in conjunction with its companion facial and body moisturisers I am left with a wonderful rose scent, which often means I can skip the need for perfume in the morning and save them for going out. I love to use organic products and this brand has gone the extra mile for theirs, they are vegan friendly, no parabens or sulphates, not tested on animals, and have an Ecocert certification (you might need to google that one but basically you have to go through a lot of hoops successfully to get one based on the production method used)

This product comes in a brown bottle with a pink label– plain and kind of pharmaceutical looking.

I surprised to find it is a clear liquid, although the consistency of a lotion. It has the most divine aroma.

I found it didn’t foam up much, like most foaming cleansers do, but it was very gentle on my skin and left my skin feeling very clean without drying.

It claims it is soap-free and soothing to renew skin without drying, and this is exactly what it does. I didn’t need to use a lot of the product each time.

For $14.00 for 140mls I think this is very good value. I would certainly purchase it again and I would recommend it to others to try.

I have never used a cleanser that removed mascara as easily as this product! I literally only need to use the smallest dot of cleanser and it does such a good job.
