essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

Let's just start this off by saying this cleanser is definitely not a foam cleanser, I have no idea why it's called that. If anything, it's a gel cleanser. This didn't bother me because I didn't buy it based on the fact that it was meant to be foam, but it's worth pointing out. This cleanser is just great, it removes every spec of my makeup super easily, even my very full coverage, long wear foundations. It's very gentle on my skin but leaves it feeling super clean, without feeling overly dry. It doesn't have much of a scent either which I think is nice. I follow this cleanser up with rosehip oil and a moisturiser and my skin has never been happier. It's cleared up, has evened out in tone, and is just much calmer.

In general I find Essano products hit and miss, but this one is a winner. The addition of rosehip oil makes for a gentle wash that cleanses without stripping natural oils from the skin. In addition, this product is easily purchased from the supermarket, making it accessible and affordable. The packaging is a smart brown bottle with a pump top, making it easy to get out a suitable amount of product.

The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is the inclusion of parfum in the ingredients list. Essano do say they only use parfum that has been proven to be non-toxic, but I would still prefer complete transparency in an ingredients list so I can make my own informed decisions.

I’m guilty of sometimes getting quite aggressive cleansers because I feel like it’s actually doing more cleansing. So it was great to try this super gentle cleanser and notice that I still feel like I’m getting results.

I’ve used the hair products from this range before and I much prefer the smell of this cleanser to the shampoo and conditioner I use. It still smells natural but isn’t overwhelming.

I also love the gorgeous packaging in this range and that it has a super easy to use pump, which isn’t super common in cleansers.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed using this cleanser as my everyday for the past week and I’ve found it really gentle, effective and hydrating.

I like this cleanser it definitely cleans my skin it works up to a good lather and you dont need much gel for it. Could be more effective as some of my makeup didnt come off so might need to use cleansing oil after this. All in all a good product

I picked up this foaming cleanser by chance as it was on sale at the time. It was the first time using this product and after the first wash I absolutely loved it. It smelled amazing and it left my skin feeling very fresh and soft. Have reused this product many times and the product lasted a good while, very affordable too.

I first stumbled across this as a sample size from Sample Bar and was so impressed I went out and bought the rest of the products from this range! It has a lovely scent, it foams well and you don't need to use much to feel like you've given your skin a decent cleanse. I have very oily skin and since using this for a few months it has calmed down a bit.

First of all the gentle smell of roses is absolutely divine. i love it! This stuff goes for miles. A full pump of this would probably do your entire body. i have very dry skin so Not only is it soap free (which means it won’t dry out my skin) but also contains Aloe Vera to help hydrate your skin while you cleanse it! its amazing.

I have to say I am a huge fan of anything with Rosehip in it, so I love this cleanser! The smell is delicious, the formula is really nice, and overall it does a good job! A little goes a long way with this, and my bottle has lasted ages, I also love the pump, so easy to get out when in the shower.

Only one quarm would be that sometimes I feel like it doesn't remove everything from my face, but nothing that another quick cleanse doesn't fix.
