essano Hydrating Rosehip Micellar Water

I love the essano micellar water. At first it stung my face slightly and made it a bit red. But I continued to use it and after a couple of uses that went away. It's slightly more soapy than other micellar waters I've tried, but it does an amazing job at removing makeup!! I like using it on a cotton pad to remove my makeup, and it's much more gentle on my skin than facial wipes as I don't need to rub very hard.

I'm known by my friends to love micellar water - I'm literally obsessed. So, of course when I saw this product on sale in Countdown months ago, I had to purchase it (even though I already had like 2 at home, lol)! Anyway, I love how this has both aloe and rosehip oil in the formula because of their beneficial properties for the skin.

However the hugest negative about this product is the fact that it goes sudsy like crazy. It's fine when you're just gently wiping across your face, but as soon as you start applying a bit of pressure in rubbing anywhere - BAM! Here come the suds! If it weren't for the soapiness and the stinging when it comes even close to your eyes, I might even choose this above Garnier's. Sadly, this is not case.

Overall, I do like this product, and it does a great job in cleansing. But the negatives are quite inconvenient at the best of times, and deeply aggravating at the worst. I will not be re-purchasing anytime soon unless Essano ends up fixing the formula so it's not so sudsy.

Definitely not as harsh as other micellar waters I have tried, does the job without making my skin red raw. It's inexpensive and has skin loving ingredients, a winner in my books!

I purchased this product after my Garnier Micellar Water ran out. I wasn't unhappy with the last brand I tried, but I felt as though maybe this brand might be better for my slightly sensitive skin.

The packaging is standard for micellar water, with a clear bottle and label on the front and back with a flip open lid. For the price I feel as though you get a good amount of water, and it lasted me quite a few months.

I use it mostly for removing my eye makeup, and then use a little for the first step in my face washing routine. I follow it up with a cleanser and toner as I have found in the past it doesn't help control breakouts, but does help to remove the bulk of my makeup. I pour some of the water onto a cotton pad and wipe away my mascara and eyeshadow. I feel as though it does a good job on removing my eye makeup and gets the majority of it off my face.

Im not overwhelmed by it, but I think it suits me more than the other micellar water I have tried - as I feel like it is more gentle for my skin.

This was my first micellar water I'd ever bought and I was excited about it after seeing the micellar hype on BR. As a bonus, it was by an NZ brand and included yummy skin-loving ingredients like rosehip oil.

In terms of cleansing, this product does the job. The bottle says it does something like 200 washes. I'm dubious about this as I always needed several cotton pads with product to get all my makeup off - and I was only wearing BB cream.

Further, the formula was not right for my sensitive combination skin. As I continued to use it my skin became sensitised and finally broke out in dry patches.

I was going to give my sister the half empty bottle but after reading other reviews I'll keep it for washing my makeup brushes.

First of all I absolutely LOVE the packaging! And the size (400ml) is an absolute bargain. I bought this on special from either the warehouse or countdown (easy to find in NZ) - I believe there's a smaller version available too if you wanted some for travel. The big size meant this lasted me a good few months.

I found this had an ever so subtle scent, fresh and youthful, nothing overpowering at all. I found it was easy to use, a few drops onto a round cotton pad which soaked it enough to remove my makeup. Was also a good cleanser to use in the morning if I was in a rush and didnt have time to use something fancy - it did the job.

The micellar water is a little bit "soapy" which I had no issues with, I found this was more of a hydrating factor for me. It felt fresh on my skin as well as gentle and soothing. It never felt harsh at all and I never experienced the sting some micellar waters or wipes cause.

Overall I loved this and will definitely repurchase!

This product comes in a generously sized bottle for a very modest price. Its smell is mild but pleasant. It's easy to dispense onto a cotton pad, and sooo easy to use. Simply put onto a cotton pad, wipe face with it. repeat. voila Removes my makeup, mascara, the lot. And unlike 95% of other cleansers it doesn't hurt my sensitive skin.. Basically at the moment this is all i can use so it definitely fulfills my needs as an all rounder. And for convienience A+++ Thanks Essano

Since about a year ago, micellar water is something that I always have on hand. It's handy stuff, I use it every day.

I use micellar water to give my face a light rinse in the mornings, and with cotton tips to remove makeup mistakes. Occasionally I use it to remove face paint when my kid comes home from kindy as spider man, I trust that it's gentle enough for young skin.

The Essano micellar water has no scent, the consistency is that of tap water, and this one is a little bit soapy for some reason. I works well for the pupose that I use it.

Good product, very reasonably priced and seems to last for a long time, would definitely repurchase.

This is the first time I have used a micellar water. It is wonderful and gentle at removing makeup. It removes all makeup with the exception of long lasting lipstick (I use coconut oil for this). Leaves skin feeling really great afterwards like you don't need to moisturize. This has lasted a long time and I will definitely purchase again as it is cost effective, easily available and natural!
