essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

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..

I recieved this product as part of a competition prize pack along with the Essano facial moisturiser, night cream & body lotion.

This cleanser is a clear gel that lathers into a smooth foam and has a sweet floral scent. It leaves my face feeling thoroughly clean & slightly taut but it doesn't do much for the texture, I don't notice my skin feeling any softer or smoother after washing with this. I get a little dryness after washing with this cleanser, just across the nose and around the corners of my mouth. Dry patches are rarely a problem for me nor is oiliness my skin is pretty much bang on 'normal' so I would say this cleanser is slightly drying, perhaps a good thing if you're prone to oily skin? However i've been using the Essano facial moisturiser after washing with this cleanser and it instantly relieves those little dry spots. This cleanser isn't great for removing makeup either.

Overall I find this cleanser to be fairly average, it does the job and it's lovely to use but I guess I expected more.

I bought this about a month ago and have been using regularly since then and I love this facewash!

It's gentle, doesn't dry my skin out, and it has a lovely scent. I think the bottle design is good too - I enjoy having a pump style lid (although not good for taking away on trips). If you are wearing makeup you'd need to remove that separately as this doesn't seem to work very well as a remover.

Definitely recommend this over some other supermarket brand facewashes. I'm excited to try some of their other products.

I have combo/oily skin, and found this cleanser seriously dried my skin out. I don't find many cleansers do, but this did, it felt like I had washed my face with some harsh soap. The smell also wasn't very pleasant, yet not rank as anything either. The pump was a very effective way of delivering enough product. An average product.

I love this cleanser, the gel texture turns into a lovely soft foam as you are using it and it doesn't foam too much, which I really like. It has a beautiful rose fragrance that I love, I'm so surprised to read other people don't like the fragrance! The pump bottle is great and so easy to use, no fiddling with lids in the shower. I only need one pump and that does my face and neck so it's economical as it lasts. I use this cleanser morning and night and it makes my combination skin clean and soft and looking amazing! Also it has the added bonus of having natural ingredients without all the nasty chemicals and it's not tested on animals.

I have fairly sensitive skin and have used rosehip oil in the past with success but found it very expensive. This foaming facila cleanser is awesome. Don't need much to get a good clean and it never leaves my skin feeling tight or dry. I love the scent, its sort of sweet but not overpowering, and its really reasonably priced.

This is in a great bottle I love the pump action to squirt things out it just takes the guessing out off how much I have to use and a pump pack does keep thing nice and sanitary and easy to use. I do love the natural aspect no harsh chemicals and nice and natural. The first thing that got to me about this was the fragrance it's smells like a bitter artificial floral scent thank goodness the scent washes away I really don't like the fragrance at all. The cleanser is a clear grey colour, I found the texture to be more like a creamy gel rather than other cleansing washes I have used. I squirted some on my hands and rubbed them together and it didn't foam, so put some on my face brush and did circular motions and it went a tiny wee milky colour but it didn't foam either I then did quite a few squirts but just used way too much and it still didn't foam it just felt slimy . So in the end one pump was more than enough to do my face and neck. After a good rinse I could tell my face was clean, it felt a little stripped but not tight and dry or itchy and as soon as I continued with my skincare routine that feeling vanished straight away. This did remove the day's worth off sunblock and BB cream. So yes this is a gentle cleanser that doesn't make my skin feel dry after I have used it and it feels clean, not more nourished. I don't know if would I repurchase as if I use foaming I like it to foam and the scent I just don't like it.

I tried this cleanser as part of a trial pack from the supermarket. The pack was reasonably priced and the sizes were perfect for my gym bag. I was impressed with this cleanser. Because I have combination sensitive skin rosehip oil is a wonder product for me, as it heals the dry sensitive skin. However, I also get excess oil around my nose and chin, so I don't like using cleansers that are too creamy. As such. this lathering cleansing gel with rosehip oil is kind on my skin but gets the job done. This product was as effective or more effective than many more expensive brands I have tried. Trilogy, the other brand known for its use of rosehip oil, is much too rich for my skin and makes me break out. If you, like me, love rosehip oil but find Trilogy too heavy for your skin, give this one a go.

I use this product everyday, I love the packaging - it's clean, modern, uncluttered and speaks to the designer in me. I love the scent, it's not fruity or synthetic like some products, it smells fresh and natural. I also love the way it feels on my skin, silky smooth but still cleansing.

In my routine I use the Essano Facial Scrub first to remove stubborn daily grime and then follow that up with a couple of pumps of this product to calm my skin and ensure all the scrub is gone.

I don't really know why, but I wasn't expecting much from this product. I received it in a gift set of 5 decent trial sizes, which I purchased for a week long trip to Australia. The smaller size came inn a small soft pink coloured screw top tube, but the full sized product comes in a larger brown bottle with a label inn the same pink, and a pump-action dispenser.

The clear, softly scented gel doesn't lather a lot - a good sign as this always indicates to me that there isn't a high soap content. It smoothes onto skin and clears away makeup, grime and daily normalities like oil.

The rosehip and aloe are super soothing and non-drying, and skin is left clean, soft, and feeling healthy. This cleanser rinses cleanly away, without residue or any form of tingling or stinging sensation -and no dry skin! It seemed to balance out my oily, acne prone skin well.

I'm panning cleansers at the moment but this will be the one I purchase when mine are used up. Natural, effective and cheap - what's not to love?
