My skin loves this

I'll start by saying that I have normal- oily skin, that's prone to breakouts. This cleanser is wonderful, its like a gel, not really foaming as it states, but its enough of the right consistency that it feels like its doing a good job. Its not drying at all, doesn't leave my skin feeling tight afterwards, yet cleansing enough that it feels like it worked. If that makes any sense at all lol. It doesn't leave me feeling like I've got to hurry to get moisturiser on afterwards. I've had barely any breakouts at all after using this range.

It smells lovely, like the rest of the range, sort of a warm floral fragrance, but its not overpowering. Takes off my makeup easily, except for waterproof liner.

It hasn't caused my skin to breakout, dry out, or freak out in anyway, I love this stuff and will definitely buy more!

Great Cleanser

I have been using this cleanser as a part of the whole Essano skin care range for about a month now. It is really easy to use you just apply it to wet palms and rub onto your face and then wash it off. It leaves my skin feeling beautifully clean and soft. It's a clear gel which when you work it in it foams up slightly. It is great at getting makeup off (although I use a different product for my eyes) and I am very happy with the results I have been getting from using this cleanser.

Tips: You only need to use a really small amount so the product lasts for ages.

essano gentle foaming cleanser

I received two sample size bottles of this from sample bar. I enjoyed how easy it is to use and how you get the right amount of product that is needed to do your face. I have found to me that it smells like bubblegum and I love that smell. I have found that my skin feels amazing after using this cleanser.

Pretty good.. But a tiny bit 'stripping'

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!

Works for most but not for me

I had a tester of the cleanser, (as well as the other 3 items) it's beautiful to apply but sadly once finished I will switch. Rather then seeing an improvement in my skin, it's gotten dryer and redder with more break outs than usual. I believe I have sensitive combination skin that tends to me more dry, after a month and a bit of continuous use I have given up hope. I would recommend for everyone to at least give it ago as it's really affordable and readily available.

Tips: Found an improvement once my Essano day moisturizer ran out and started using a Nutrient Rich Argan Oil daily moisturizer.

Nothing special..

I purchased this because I love rosehip!! But unfortunatly I'm disappointed with this product.

Firstly I didn't feel that it clensed my face what so ever, and I diidnt notice any change in my skin. It did feel nice rubbing into my face but other than that it's nothing to rave about, plus it's quite expensive...

A nice product

I bought a full size bottle of this product after using up the smaller one from a trial pack because i really liked it. I don't use this product to remove makeup though because it doesn't cut through it very well at all, which I soon realized. So instead I use a makeup remover before I get into the shower, and use this cleanser when I'm in the shower & its been working great for me so far. I do find that it doesn't really lather up very well though but I'm not sure if ts supposed to-its been working nicely for me anyway. I love the smell & the texture of it is great. I will be repurchasing :-)

Gentle and moisturising cleanser

This brand is now at the top of my list for skincare, i love it! so affordable and high quality! There seems to be a lot of us who love this brand, based on the glowing reviews.

I brought an Essano trial kit from Countdown, which included this facial cleanser.

Other products in the trial kit included Rosehip oil, facial moisturiser , night creme and body moisturiser.The little bottles are so very cute, and the trial sizes a perfect size. A great set to also take away travelling for a long weekend!

My skin can be dry, sensitive yet combination in some areas, it changes a lot during the seasons too. My skin tends to react to different products, so this was a great way to try all of these products to see if they were suitable. All of these products were fantastic and caused no irritation to my sensitive skin.

The packaging is great, stylish and looks like a luxury brand yet the price in comparison is so much cheaper than others! . The pump is great, more convenient and hygienic.

The facial cleanser is a lotion-like consistency and feels lovely cleansing the skin and so gentle on your skin. However, it does not do deep cleansing -so you will need a separate eye makeup cleanser to take away eye makeup and mascara. I think this is absolutely fine in my opinion, as its a gentle cleanser that doesn't leave your skin irritated or tight feeling like other cleansers!

The subtle fragrance of rosé is lovely and not overpowering.

Such a lovely product, like the rest of their ranges. All the range is now my holy grail! . I'm so glad i tried Essano out, as its so much more affordable than my clinique and Estée Lauder products.

A great cleanser that I will continue to repurchase!

Not drying

I purchased this in the pack of miniatures this brand sells to try out this range of products and see whether I wanted to purchase full sizes of any of them. As a lover of rosehip oil as a moisturiser this range really appealed to me.

I love that this comes in a pump bottle as I find this the quickest and cleanest way to use most beauty/skincare products. The cleanser looks like a gel when it is dispensed and when massaged into the skin turns into a light foam (it doesn't foam as much as a standard cleanser and to me is somewhere in between a cream cleanser and really foamy soap like cleanser). I like the light scent that this product has and have found it nice and gentle on my dry sensitive skin. Despite its gentleness I feel it cleanses my face well and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight. I think this is a great cleanser for those who want something gentle and effective, but, probably not the best for those with more blemished skin who need a stronger (salicylic acid (or similar) containing) cleanser.

I think this is great value for money and I will enjoy using it when my skin isn't so prone to breakouts.

Tips: Purchase the miniature pack and try this in the small size before purchasing the full size to see if this is right for you :)

My favourite cleanser

First off I have to say I love this product, I have fair skin which does not get many breakouts and I find this is the perfect cleanser because it makes my skin feel clean and fresh, it balances it out and just makes it feel soft and nice. I also find that this regulates my skin, so like using other products I would sometimes get breakouts but this one tends to just keep my skin at it's perfect level.

Tips: Really great for normal - sensitive skin. May not be as effective for those with serious acne problems but if you just want something to balance your skin out then this is perfect.
