essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

I'm probably close to finishing my fourth bottle of this. I bought this for my younger siblings and I to use. I didn't want to want to spend big bucks on a cleanser for my siblings but didn't want to go for something cheap and drying. This cleanser was free of sulfates which was the main thing I look for. Despite the slight floral scent my teenage brother has never complained and happily used it. I did find it a bit drying last winter but during the summer it's great. I like to use an oil cleanser at night and don't like to use a hot face cloth to get it off and create more laundry for myself. So I opt to use this in the shower to get the excess oil off and it does a great job. One big con about this product though was the pump. When I buy the bottle it's like the pump is jammed and twisted so tight that you have to pull really hard to get the nozzle to pop out and so you can use it. I thought the pump on the first bottle I bought was faulty, but then had the same problem on the second bottle, and the third. Around the time I bought the fourth bottle I finally figured it out. Before that I had to unscrew the pump and use the tube that was covered in product to put a bit in my hand and consequently ended up using too much product, probably why it felt drying. Smooches deducted for the non user friendly pump, but other than that I will continue to repurchase this cleanser.

When you buy a foaming cleanser, you kinda expect it to do foam. Well sorry to disappoint it really doesn't. But it does leave my dry and suffering winter skin clean and refreshed. It's smells amazing and you only need a small amount to clean efficiently.

This cleasner is very easy to use, just pump on to hand moistened with warm water & rub together. Foams up great. I light rose fragrance thats not overpowering. Washes off nicely leaving skin feeling silky smooth. Have ised this for six days & had no reaction on my sensitive skin which is great, my 15 year old daughter also used it & liked it, she has typical teen acne which while it hadnt significantly improved it definitely didn't worsen. For the price & availability I think this is a great affordable product & will like to see how long it lasts.

This definitely does what it says and is a very gentle cleanser. I have used this in the shower for the past 3 days and it helps to remove any left over make up and leave my skin feeling cleansed and refreshed. Plus it’s super natural too, no harmful chemicals and it’s all vegan! Only downside I found was the scent..it wasn’t pleasant like their other products are which came as a surprise.

This product cleansed my skin without drying it. Got all my makeup from around my eyes off too and it also smells yummy :)

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 purchased as park of a trial sized multi item pack . It cleansed ok, scented but not to overpowering, I just can't say it was anything amazing. Probably won't repurchase but was def worth trying and I feel other people might enjoy more than I did

It smells good. It feels good and the best of all it's soap free but foaming. I can actually feel how it works even on my hands.

It's not very good in taking off makeup but I wipe my make-up off before using this. This product is not lying when it says “Gently cleanses while replenishing your skin’s natural moisture barrier." I felt the difference after the first use.

I really love the way my skin feels.

Essano Rosehip Oil Cleanser is a soap-free facial cleanser with active natural botanicals and certified organic. It is not tested on animals and is made in NZ. The cleanser is rich in certified organic Rosehip Oil and includes Aloe Vera for hydration. 97.36% of the total ingredients in the formula are of natural origin with 5.05% of the total ingredients from organic farming. Essano is a New Zealand based natural skincare brand that I've only recently become aware of because of the brand's eco-friendly philosophy. Essano claim that their Rosehip Facial Oil will soothe, renew and cleanse skin without drying. The cleanser comes in a brown plastic pump bottle which is recyclable and easy to dispense. I like that the entire bottle is a dark brown which helps to protect the integrity of the ingredients. A label wraps around the bottle, with a product description, a full ingredient list, plus a list of ingredients that you will never find in Essano's products, for example no parabens, sulphates, silicones, and so on. All of the product's packaging is recyclable. The cleanser has fragrance added which smells slightly synthetic but as it dissipates quite quickly it wasn’t a problem for me. I use the cleanser every morning and evening along with my other Essano products. I wet my face and neck and use one pump on my facial brush, which I then use to thoroughly clean my skin. The gel in combination with water, works to a very light lather, only foaming slightly. I find the gel works well on its own but it is exactly the right consistency to use with a facial brush. I really like the pump action of this cleanser and find that you don't need very much to obtain completely cleansed skin. I am particularly wary of gel cleansers as I find many are too drying and often have leftover residue. A little goes a long way so it's excellent value for a natural plant based cleanser which is free of GMO's and contains such good ingredients. I have combination skin, and my skin can be slightly dry. I found this cleanser did take off my makeup well, I also haven't had any skin reactions, but it left my skin with a slight feeling of tightness and dryness. I felt I had to follow up with a moisturiser straight away. However, I do not feel that my skin has been stripped of its natural oils. I do think this cleanser does the job, taking the price into consideration I think that it is an excellent product. I would recommend it, but I would not personally re-use it. I think this product would work better for normal to combination skin which doesn’t have areas of dryness.
