Not for me

I bought this product thinking it be great but my skin had other ideas , it smells divine and easy to use. Unfortunately my skin did not like it and it seemed to have reacted with a few red patches . I use rosehip oil so I was surprised. It has worked for many others but me. My skin is sensitive, dry and oily forehead. Still love the rosehip range such as the lotions .

Tips: I recommend if you can do a test patch before using all in one go.

Essano Rosehip Cleanser

This cute little pink and brown bottle certainly caught my eyes while i was browsing for my next-to-try facial cleanser. The size looked small.. which didn’t look cheap for the price it had.. but actually.. a little does go a long way...

It’s a thick, clear gel-based cleanser which lathers up gently on the face. You can smell the scent of rosehip as soon as you put it on... which was quite calm and refreshing for the mornings.

My face didn’t dry out completely and still felt soft after using it.. but i think it was too strong for my hands.. as my hands felt it was stripped clean after using it.. and it did look a bit dry afterwards... which is one thing that tends to stop me from repurchasing products. ‭ It was a nice strong pump, but took me a while to adjust to as i’m not use to using thick gel cleansers... But the pump bottle is pretty cute to have in your bathroom.. so it would make a nice cute gift.

I wonder if this facewash will work better on those with more oily skin? As it didn’t really help when you had dry patches on the face, especially on the nose.

Tips: Do keep the pretty empty bottle as a refill bottle for your handwashes etc.. as the top comes off nice and easy ;)

There are better options

I bought this cleanser because I wanted something gentle that was easy to use. I personally didn't like the fragarence of it, I found it didn't have the nice natural scents I gravitate towards, it smelt very artificial. It wasn't very foamy but it did feel gentle and didn't irritate my skin. I have liked most other essano products I've tried but I gave this away because it just didn't leave my face feeling nourished after being cleansed.

Not for me

My friend reccomend this because I suffer from dry skin and she said how good it was. I got it when it was on offer in the supermarket. Once I used it it irritated my face straight away so sadly I couldn't use it again which was a shame. Luckily my daughter used it and she loves it. She said it made her skin feel amazing and soft.

Didn’t do it for me

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.

Tips: It’s thick and gel like. Not a true foam cleanser in my opinion. May work for oily, sensitive skin? Don’t let it put you off other Essano products. They have some lovely stuff.

Don't like it really.

It smells delicious but it's drying on my skin, VERY DRYING. My skin is tight after use and I really need something more nourishing and cream based. I have older dry skin.

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...

Def not in top 5

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.

Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser

This appears to be a gentle cleanser but for some reason I find it really bad for my dry eczema prone skin. Even though it is gentle I find it dries out my skin which causes me to have eczema flare ups.

This cleanser has a clear slimy gel type texture with a soft rosy scent. I find after using this cleanser my face feels like I have used soap on it making my skin feel dry and tight. I'm surprised I have such a bad reaction to this cleanser as it does come across quite natural and mild. I have used every product in this range and have the same problem - no matter what the product is my skin breaks out in eczema. I either put this down to my skin not loving the rose hip oil they use or I'm just allergic to this particular brand.
