This cleanser was just okay. I found it really dried my skin out and I tend to have quite normal skin. I didn't really see any changes in my skin so I wasn't wowed. I much prefer the Clinique cleansers

Reviews
I was lucky enough to be included in the trial tream for the Essano Foaming Facial Cleanser, I’m a huge fan of all the Essano products and my shower and dressing table are full of their body washes, shampoos and skin care products.
The packaging as always is gorgeous in the rose pink colour. The pump dispenser works well and you really only need one pump to cleanse. Unlike some other cleansers this one does actually clean off all eye make-up, including mascara, so reducing the need to use another product.
My main complaint, and for me it’s a big one, is the scent...... it’s way too strong, enough that every time I used it I felt it was just ‘too much’
It worked well but to be honest I think I’ll stick with Essano’s Creme Cleaser, it works just as well, asnd has a far more subtle scent to it.
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.
Tips: I use this one now for cleaning my makeup brushes, sponges etc.
I have been using the essano body lotion and don't mind it's rose scent but this just smells wrong. It's got a hint of the fresh floral smell of the body lotion but it also has a more artificial smell, almost like a fruity nail polish remover or those nasty cheap scented nail polishes from back in the day. The packaging is nice enough, and will survive being dropped in the shower. The pump gives a good amount of product too. I suppose it does everything it says it will. It is gentle and foams up nicely but it won't cut through make up so I wash my face with almond oil to remove my make up first. All in all I using it up because I have it but I won't be repurchasing. I don't like to use something with such a bad and heavy smell on my face.
Tips: Not a key part of the essano range. For someone trying out their products I would possibly skip this and stick with the body lotion and rosehip oil.
I have very dehydrated skin at the moment and I bought this product in hope that it would hydrate my skin and provide my skin with extra moisture and nourishment . I have trialled this cleanser for about a month and it has done nothing for my skin , after cleansing my skin feels tight and stripped of any moisture it had, my skin also broke out a lot whilst using this product which was really strange. I tried to give this cleanser time to see if it would do what it says but I've ended up pushing it to the back of my cupboard and never using it .
Tips: Try not to get it in your eyes as it really stings !
Unfortunately this product has not worked as I hoped, I received this as a gift for Mothers Day along with a few other products from this Essano Rosehip range.
Packaging is very attractive, large bottle with a pump (YAY!) you can choose your desired amount which is fantastic.
I use this in the shower after I have removed my make up, to wash and cleanse while my face is wet. The consistency of this is a thick gel, which feels nice to apply, working my fingers around my face in circular motions it foams up slightly.
Like the other Essano products it has the similar smell sweet yet floral like roses, however I found this particular product's scent to be rather strong, almost overpowering, and not a natural scent like I would have hoped for a natural based cleanser.
What I found unusual after using it, my skin felt like my skin oils were stripped from my face, leaving my skin feeling dry and tight. That uncomfortable feeling. Possibly that is due to trialling it in winter, I have popped it away for now and will bring it back out in summer and see if that makes a difference.
Tips: Grab a trial pack before you purchase full sized products
This cleanser really didn't work for me. I found that after a week of using it I started getting more breakouts, when I hoped the gentle and natrual formula would help control them. However, this is actually due to the fact that my skin reacts badly to rosehip. Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser is rich in rosehip which boasts to even-out skin and leave it soft and hydrated. I actually found this cleanser to be a little bit drying and it left my skin feeling tight after use. As everyone's skin is different and I have discovered that mine does not react well to rosehip oil, I wouldn't steer anyone away from using it.
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.
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 ;)
i bought this as i had run out of my more expensive cleanser and couldn't afford to repurchase there and then. This cleanser broke me out quite a lot and just generally didn't work with my skin. Although after using my skin felt soft and clean, it just didn't agree and i gave me angry sore breakouts. i did love the smell though
Tips: you dont need much product, its quite thick and goes quite far
