essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

I was really excited to try this product when I first saw it at Countdown. The packaging is great - I loved the brown bottle with the rose coloured label and bottle with the pump - the price is fabulous - I believe I paid $15 at Countdown.

The texture and constancy (thick) of the Cleanser is very nice and the application is easy and smooth on the face. I love the pump as you know exactly how much you need without wastage.

I found the cleanser did not remove my make-up (even when using a make-up wipe first to remove excess) my excess eye Make-up just seemed to smudge around my face. I was not too keen on the smell personally and that actually put me off the product.

At this stage I do not plan to re-purchase as it did not quite meet MY needs, however that does not mean I would not recommend to others as I do believe it is a great product.

I am hard to sway from my standard skincare routine, & really, I need an exfoliator. This is the only reason I would not buy again. It smells amazing, the whole series is awesome, the night cream is my favourite, but as they don't offer an exfoliating cleanser, it's not something I would buy again. If you have dry or sensitive skin though, then I would definitely recommend this,

I found the cleanser to quite easy to apply, though it didn't foam as much like other cleansers. My skin didn't feel dry after using it, however I am combination skin so I am not sure how this would fair with people who have very oily skin. Sadly the smell just wasn't pleasant for me, the other Essano the cream and oil etc smell really good its just this cleanser smells quite metallically..

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.

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.

I haven't always been in love with cleansing.. There was one product that totally opened my eyes and changed my mind.. Since then however with pretty high expectations I have had an open mind at trying other cleansers..

I got a couple of these in a Sample bar box so have given them a fair good trial.

Easy to use pump. Ideal for keeping in the shower - not like lids with a flick open.. You know the kind that soak up shower water and go all gunky.. EW..

Nice formula that lathers easily. Feels good on the skin and does a pretty good job and all round cleansing, make up removal etc..

What I don't like is how 'squeaky' almost over cleaned/stripped my skin feels after using it. Being it is a product that is meant to have wondrous Rosehip Oil in it.. I certainly wasn't expecting that sort of result.

My skin might feel clean.. But it feels like its too tight and like its been stripped of the good stuff.. So in saying that I don't use it often! Its more a part time relationship rather than full time!
