Lightly Refreshing

Got this product in a smaller bottle as part of an Essano beauty pack which included the Rosehip moisturiser aswell.

I never really had a problem with dry skin until I started wearing makeup everyday, and noticed that my cheeks and between my eyebrows got super dry to the point where I was using multiple moisturisers on my face after washing it just so my skin wouldn't flake off!

However, with this product, I've found that my skin has improved a lot in terms of both feeling cleaner + making your skin feel super light!

The consistency of the cleanser is like gel, best applied when your face is already wet - I normally pump my desired amount into my hand then apply it to my face and lather it in circles. This product lathers really well, and I really enjoyed the hint of floral scent that it gave my face.

Worked extremely well as a cleanser, although I found that in terms of moisturising, that using this product in conjunction with the moisturiser in this range moisturised gave better results! Overall, very happy with this product.

Hydrating cleannser

This cleanser does a beautiful job. I use it every night, especially following make up removal if I wore any that day or just to ensure my skin is clean before heading to be. It has quite a silky texture and is very hydrating. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and flaky like some other cleansers but it still feels clean. The scent is very pleasant and the product is very affordable.

Nice but a bit drying for me

Just bought a trial box of the Essano range from Countdown. I normally use the Sukin Exfoliating cleanser, so this product was new to me. I put about a 2-pea sized blob on my palm and rubbed my hands together while in the shower. I found it rather like wet vaseline in texture, I wouldn't call it 'foaming', perhaps more of a lather. After using an exfoliator I found the feeling on my face a little odd, it seemed oily. I've heard of cleansing the face with oil so I thought that was fair enough. On washing it off I found that my face felt dryer than usual, and a little tight. Now, if you interpret that feeling to mean that you've cleaned your face, then you'll like this product. It doesn't strip the oils out like the sort of cleansers we used at teens to kill spots, it's pretty gentle compared to those. However I won't be using it again, and will go back to my Sukin product. On the plus side it did smell nice.

Lovely!

I have been using this for about a month now and I feel like I haven't used any - I love that you only need to pump out a small amount of product, mix with a bit of water and lather up. The product seems to be thicker than any other cleanser Ive used before but havent found this to be a problem.

This feels sooo soft on my skin, it spreads really easily and its really gentle. Because it is a bit thicker I feel it leaves a bit of a film on my face so it takes a tiny bit longer to rinse off.

My face feels really clean after rinsing, feels smooth and hydrated. I have dry skin so although it feels hydrated...about 10 minutes later I feel the need to moisturise.

Only small thing I dont particularly love about it (I certainly dont hate it) is the scent - I dont know it kind of reminds me of the raspberry medicine I had when I was 5 :p

Disappointed

I really looked forward to buying the essay reshape range as many have raved about it and I thought it would be gentle and hydrating. But was very disappointed, this cleanser made my skin feel dry, tight and also caused me to breakout. My skin type is normal to dry. Would not repurchase

Lovely

This is a lovely gel cleanser that slathers on to your face smoothly. It washes off leaving my skin feeling cleansed and refreshed. The scent is also very nice and the pump-out bottle is handy in the shower! The only thing is that is doesn't foam, so I'm not sure why it's called that

New face wash, finally

I have been using the Cetaphil Cleanser for about two years now and absolutely loved it. However, around a month ago I can across the Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser and I haven't looked back! I love how it's an organic natural brand that is accessible in supermarkets and not a bad price. The smell of the product isn't the nicest as it's natural but it is bearable and you get used to it. There is a pump so you can chose the amount that you use and it comes out in a thick gel consistency (like aloe vera gel) then you lather it up on your hands and apply to your face. It feels very soothing and refreshing on the skin and a little bit goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling very clean and soft. It is hydrating however I do recommend following up with a moisturizer to lock in and add extra moisture.

Average

This cleanser foams well and smells delicious, but it just doesn't do much for my skin. I find foamin cleasers dry out my skin more, so I'm a bit quatious when using this. It's not bad or great, if you're an avid fan of rosehip you may buy it just because of it's use as an ingredient.

ESSANO_YOU_BEAUTFUL

I love the organic natural brand that keeps my face so clean and feeling refreshed, pair this with their night creme and you'll be set to go. Reasonable price and easy to purchase!

Tips: Moisturize after for dryer skins. Don't if you have oily skin.

I have very oily skin and I had to use moisturiser after using this cleanser, as left my skin feeling tight and dry. Their night creme was too rich for my skin type but their regenerating facial moisturiser was fine.

wasn't for me

i bought this as i had run out of my more expensive cleanser and couldn't afford to repurchase there and then. This cleanser broke me out quite a lot and just generally didn't work with my skin. Although after using my skin felt soft and clean, it just didn't agree and i gave me angry sore breakouts. i did love the smell though

Tips: you dont need much product, its quite thick and goes quite far
