Gentle whisper

I ran out of my Skinfood cleanser . I’m all about buying New Zealand at the moment. I wanted to give this Essano cleanser a try. I picked this up on my weekend away in hamilton. Chemist warehouse was having a sale there on Essano so I picked this one up .

Packaging reminiscent of the Essano . Fairly large sized bottle . Bigger than most cleanser. Pump bottle makes application a dream to work with .

Consistency is a clear gel that has a mild rose scent to it . It seems to foam up gently on my skin. Feels like a gentle whisper on my face. I have no skin irritations during or after application. Most cleansers dry out my skin . Not this one . It’s lovely .

I think this could easily last me another two months with regular daily usage. It makes my skin feel clean and fresh without any tightening occurring on my skin. I’ve noticed my dry patches have gone since using it . I’m happy with these results . I would buy this again.

Squeaky clean!

This is the second Essano cleanser that I have tried and to be honest this product did a great job at removing makeup, I did have to go in twice hem wearing heavy eye makeup but otherwise my face came out super clean. It doesn’t feel tingly or otherwise weird like some foaming cleansers do, it doesn’t actually foam a whole heap either. That didn’t really bother me though. I did notice that when it went into my eyes (as makeup removers often do) it did sting a little and made my eyes feel super dried out for a bit afterwards. So be super careful or you may end up reaching for the eye drops as I did! It smells very natural, not altogether pleasant though, I would use it again as it does cleanse well and leaves skin clean if not slightly dry.

Tips: Follow up with your favourite face oil/cream to rehydrate after using.

Better than expected

I bought a trial set of Essano products after months of not doing anything to my skin and I was impressed. Most supermarket products are too harsh for my skin so I was pleasantly surprised when this didn't react. It smelt nice and left my skin feeling clean. Would definitely buy again if I forgot my regular products on holiday etc.

Gentle moisturising cleanser

I have been using the essano gel foaming cleanser for about three months now. I find it cleansing on my mature skin without drying it out. I like how the gel foams up (it’s not too foamy at all) enough to clean off make up without being too messy. My face always looks clean, shiny and fresh after use. I would be happy to keep using this product and tell friends about it.

Nice cleanser

Really happy with this cleanser. It is a good basic every day cleanser that is very affordable. It has a subtle scent of rosehip that isn't overpowering. Easy to use pump bottle makes it great for the shower. One pump is definitely enough as it foams up quite nicely. My skin feels lovely and soft and refreshed after use.

Good

Great brand, loved smell but basic. Still a good cleanser and foams. Pretty good as it does the job.

Smells Fab!!

I first stumbled across this as a sample size from Sample Bar and was so impressed I went out and bought the rest of the products from this range! It has a lovely scent, it foams well and you don't need to use much to feel like you've given your skin a decent cleanse. I have very oily skin and since using this for a few months it has calmed down a bit.

Tips: If you want to try the range, at Countdown they have an introductory pack with the cleanser, body lotion etc in it in sample sizes - great for taking on holiday too! Its usually $25 but I've seen it on sale for $20

Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser

First of all the gentle smell of roses is absolutely divine. i love it! This stuff goes for miles. A full pump of this would probably do your entire body. i have very dry skin so Not only is it soap free (which means it won’t dry out my skin) but also contains Aloe Vera to help hydrate your skin while you cleanse it! its amazing.

Love it!

I have to say I am a huge fan of anything with Rosehip in it, so I love this cleanser! The smell is delicious, the formula is really nice, and overall it does a good job! A little goes a long way with this, and my bottle has lasted ages, I also love the pump, so easy to get out when in the shower.

Only one quarm would be that sometimes I feel like it doesn't remove everything from my face, but nothing that another quick cleanse doesn't fix.

Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser

I have just repurchased this one as I liked my first bottle so much. I initially received a sample of it and have continued using it since last year.

I think what I like so much about this one is that it it's very gentle but still leaves my skin feeling clean. I find a lot of cleansers can leave my face feeling tight and dry afterwards, but I have not had any issues with this one. It has quite a thick gel consistency and lathers up nicely. The pump top bottle is handy for the shower althought the downside of that is that it's normally hard to get to the remaining product at the end of the bottle.

I wasn't sold on the scent initially. The first Essano product I tried was the body lotion (which smells amazing) and I was taken aback at first that they did not have the same fragrance. This one is a lot more delicate and unobtrusive though, and it has grown on me over time.

I have noticed on the odd forgetful occasion that it's not the best at removing heavy eye makeup. I normally use a separate product to remove it before I cleanse anyway, so this is not a dealbreaker for me.

Overall I feel like this is a great product and reasonably priced.
