I have been using this moisturiser since I had a trial of it from Countdown online shopping. After I finished the deluxe sample which actually lasted me a long time I purchased the full sized bottle.
My skin type: Combination (dry areas with oily t-zone)
Packaging, coming in a plastic bottle of semi opaque brown to resemble old glassware, and with a wrapping of essano logo and colour of rose pink, complete with a pump action dispenser which allows you to get the right amount in one shot for coverage over your entire face, creating less mess from overspill.
Formula, a nice thick cream that melts onto your face as you gently massage it in, I use this at night time right after I have washed my face as a skin booster and have only just started to do this since I got the deluxe as I had other creams in my regime and no real room for a rosehip one, especially when rosehip is a healing oil but the best thing about this moisturiser is that is also has jojoba oil in it which is brilliant for combination skin so the moisturisers has most skin concerns covered. The aroma of the cream is also amazing and transports you to a warm summer evening sat in the backyard of an old English rose garden with the heavy musk of warmed roses.
After using this cream for over the course of a fortnight, once a day, straight after cleansing my face at night time I found that my skin looked more perky and less tired. The combination of natural oils in the cream helps balance my skin.
There is no residual stickiness that you find with other creams, especially as with the pump dispenser you only take what you need, there is no left over on your hands to get sticky, it all melts nicely and settle quickly into your skin. It is as if your skin drinks it up!
This is my absolute favourite moisturiser! I have combination skin and I find this works wonders for both my dry patches and oily places. The smell is just like most of the other rosehip products in the range. I love that it doesn't leave a shiny or tacky layer after I've applied it. I'm looking into trying more of the essano skincare range.
Tips: Don't pump out too much, as a little goes a long way.
