I have been using Essano products for a good 6 months now and this gentle foaming cleanser is amazing on my skin. I have oily skin, suffer from the occasional breakout and have blackheads in the Tzone.Since using this cleanser,my face has become smoother and softer,the blackheads in the Tzone have significantly decreased and I actually feel more comfortable in my own skin now! It's a great product that I will continue to buy and is also great value.

Reviews
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.
Tips: Pump bottle so put a rubber band under pump handle to get what you need only :)
I have to admit I'm waring of most things that say gentle as I expect that they don't work to well in the attempt to be gentle, but I love this cleanser. I have sensitive skin, and it's given me no issues. My skin feels well cleaned without feeling dried out after use. My skin feels so smooth and fresh after use.
I do find the extremely dark bottle a little frustrating. You can't see how much you have left, unless you can get the light through the bottle just right. I also find the gel congeals a bit at the end of the pump nozzle, which is a pet peeve of mine!
I really wanted to like this product as I love other products from the range and it is reasonably priced and easy to find, however I found that as soon as I started using it, my face instantly broke out in pimples, and I'm not generally prone to pimples. I stuck it out for over a week but had to give it away to a friend as the breakouts continued. I also found it didn't foam up well and didn't remove all traces of makeup. It does smell lovely and feel nice on the skin though.
This cleanser really didn't work for me. I found that after a week of using it I started getting more breakouts, when I hoped the gentle and natrual formula would help control them. However, this is actually due to the fact that my skin reacts badly to rosehip. Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser is rich in rosehip which boasts to even-out skin and leave it soft and hydrated. I actually found this cleanser to be a little bit drying and it left my skin feeling tight after use. As everyone's skin is different and I have discovered that mine does not react well to rosehip oil, I wouldn't steer anyone away from using it.
Removes my makeup with easy at the end of the day and doesn't leave my skin too dry! love this product have been using it for over a year now and still haven't changed. Is gentle on my sensitive skin but keeps my skin clear !
I can't say enough good things about this product! I have very oily skin that is prone to breakouts and was desperate to find something natural that I could use in the mornings. I have been using this for a couple of months now, and the majority of breakouts that I used to get have reduced! I now only get very minor spots. It's a lovely, soft cleanser to use and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It smells incredible as well! You only need to use a little bit of the cleaner for it to really foam up. A little bit really does go a long way, so it is also such great value for money. This is my first Essano product that I've used and I love it!
In general I find Essano products hit and miss, but this one is a winner. The addition of rosehip oil makes for a gentle wash that cleanses without stripping natural oils from the skin. In addition, this product is easily purchased from the supermarket, making it accessible and affordable. The packaging is a smart brown bottle with a pump top, making it easy to get out a suitable amount of product.
The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is the inclusion of parfum in the ingredients list. Essano do say they only use parfum that has been proven to be non-toxic, but I would still prefer complete transparency in an ingredients list so I can make my own informed decisions.
Tips: Essano do a great travel set so you can try all their products without committing to the full size until you decide if you like it.
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.
Tips: You don't need to use too much as it is very foamy.
I was expecting a lot when I purchased it because I had heard a lot about rosehip oil. However, after the first application my face felt really hot and was burning. After rinsing it my face had dry patches all over.
It did get rid of my breakouts however it's been months now that those dry patches aren't going away. It could be that I am allergic to rosehip oil. However nothing I do is fixing my skin.
