essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

Over the past two years I've been having problems with my skin, namely I've transitioned from having dry skin to having combination to oily skin. Given the change I've been trying out cleansers like crazy trying to handle breakouts. And I've landed on this!! It's very affordable, I can get it in almost every supermarket, and it stops me from breaking out! Hurrah!! The only reason I'm not giving this 5/5 stars is because my face is still quite oily throughout the day and a cleanser should help with that. However if I go too much harsher I start to have problems in specific drier patches on my face. So I will happily settle for have a bit of an oily face to wash whilst avoiding many spots!

I ran out of my Skinfood cleanser . I’m all about buying New Zealand at the moment. I wanted to give this Essano cleanser a try. I picked this up on my weekend away in hamilton. Chemist warehouse was having a sale there on Essano so I picked this one up .

Packaging reminiscent of the Essano . Fairly large sized bottle . Bigger than most cleanser. Pump bottle makes application a dream to work with .

Consistency is a clear gel that has a mild rose scent to it . It seems to foam up gently on my skin. Feels like a gentle whisper on my face. I have no skin irritations during or after application. Most cleansers dry out my skin . Not this one . It’s lovely .

I think this could easily last me another two months with regular daily usage. It makes my skin feel clean and fresh without any tightening occurring on my skin. I’ve noticed my dry patches have gone since using it . I’m happy with these results . I would buy this again.

I purchased this on a whim when I ran out of my usual cleanser. what appealed to me most was the fact that it was a gel foaming cleanser so I could use it with my foreo cleansing tool. Unfortunately I don't find I get much of a foam from it, and personally I'm not a large fan of the scent that this product has. However it does what it says and is a good cleanser, I just don't think it's the one for me!

I use lots of other Essano products so I grabbed this one day when I ran out of facewash. The first few times I used it I wasn't that impressed but thought I needed to get use to it, but I finished the bottle and didn't change my mind about the product. I didn't like the smell and it felt weird on my skin, like it was just sitting on the surface not cleaning it. I'm glad to move on to another facewash!

This is the second Essano cleanser that I have tried and to be honest this product did a great job at removing makeup, I did have to go in twice hem wearing heavy eye makeup but otherwise my face came out super clean. It doesn’t feel tingly or otherwise weird like some foaming cleansers do, it doesn’t actually foam a whole heap either. That didn’t really bother me though. I did notice that when it went into my eyes (as makeup removers often do) it did sting a little and made my eyes feel super dried out for a bit afterwards. So be super careful or you may end up reaching for the eye drops as I did! It smells very natural, not altogether pleasant though, I would use it again as it does cleanse well and leaves skin clean if not slightly dry.

I love Essano products but this was a huge miss for me. I have the exfoliating cleanser and love that so I figured this would be the same. When I read the bottle saying “foaming” cleanser I thought it foamed as you pumped it. This didn’t. It was a thick gluggy gel that at times felt too thick for the pump. I clean my face twice when I use it and I’m determined to use the whole bottle but I feel it strips me of my oils in my face without actually cleaning my skin. I use it once a week.

I liked how this made my skin feel. It lathered really smoothly and easily. Washing it off was a dream too. It did seem to make my skin oils build up way faster after using it which was wreaking havoc. I ended up changing facewash to a different brand.
