essano Body Lotion

One thing that I have noticed with body lotions is that you don't need to spend a lot to get a decent one and this was no exception. I bought this on a whim at the supermarket as it was on special for $12.99. I'm normally a body butter girl but thought I'd give this a try and I'm definitely glad I did. It's lightweight so maybe not great if you have very dry skin or are after something more moisturising. It has a beautiful tropical scent that definitely reminds me of being on an island sipping a Pina Colada. I love it but I could see others finding the smell quite intense. At the end of the day it's a great value for money body lotion and leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling great so I'm happy

I have a range of Essano products that have paraded across my vanity. I just love that they're natural and NZ made.

The Intensive Hydrating Body Lotion is good a hydrating the skin and leaving it feel more soft and smooth. I particularly use it after washing my hands to stop them from drying out and on my legs after shaving.

This comes in a dark pump bottle with their signature pink label. It's not the most glam bottle in the world and I'm getting a bit bored of the rosehip scent. But you get more product for the price than a lot of other brands would offer that are in the natural and NZ made.

Next time I would probably try something new, but this is a great staple.

I have used this lovely product during winter as my skin gets rough and dry during the winter months, it is been very helpful for my skin and the added bonus of the wonderful Gogi berry, It's a very reasonable priced product, as it goes a long way .

This body lotion smells great and I love the pump bottle . Absorbs quickly into my skin and leaves skin moisturized but not greasy. A great every day moisturiser

This is probably the most girliest Body Lotion ever! Not did it keep my skin soft and moisturized it also made me feel very feminine and sexy.

Like it says in the name it gives you some intensive hydration! This is sucha good body lotion for super dry skin or if you have dry patches, it will smoothen them out to match the rest of your skin.

I wish I could use it every day but it just too intensive and my skin just gets too much of it that it doesn't soak it up!

When it comes to scares etc, I did not notice much difference, never have with rose-hip but i just adore the scent so much so I really don't mind.

Consistency- This lotion has quite a thick creamy consistency.

Application- This product is easy apply and soaks into the skin quickly.

Fragrance- This product has a soft floral fragrance consistent with the other essano products.

Coverage- I use two pumps of this product each night to moisturise my legs.

Usage- A bottle of the moisturiser lasts me several months of everyday use.

Price- This is one of the more expensive supermarket moisturisers but is often on sale.

Packaging- The packaging of this product is consistent with the rest of the essano products which are in a brown plastic bottle with a pink label. This product has a pump which I prefer my products to have.

Results- This product moisturised my skin well leaving it smooth and soft.

Skin type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase- I would repurchase this product but I would wait until it was on sale.

I got a trial bottle of this and thought it was face cream and was using it at night and my face was super soft, I didn't realize it was body lotion, now that I have tried it I am keen to try the other rosehip products

I tried this as a sample tube and instantly liked it because of the smell. I purchased the bigger bottle and have loved it. Makes my skin feel soft and supple and hydrated. A little goes a long way so you don't need to be heavy handed with it either. The smell is quite floral maybe more rose obviously but has another underlying ingredients I cant quite put my finger on (might have to go back and read the ingredients again lol) It comes in a bottle with a pump which is great I hate having to squeeze a bottle or tube. If you like a good body moisturiser that will leave the skin feeling mositurised and supple and that wont break the bank then this is the lotion for you :)

I just have a small tube of this from the sample pack this brand sells at countdown. It's only a 20ml tube, but enough for me to form an opinion on it.

I like the packaging of this brand with the pink labeling and simple to read writing. I also like that the full size is in a nice jar. This brand to me looks elegant and more high end than what you pay.

I adore the smell of this. It's slightly powdery, a bit floral, some vanilla and I think a hint of orange is in there too. This might sound kind of old ladyish, but it really isn't. I think it's just a really feminine scent.

The texture is not too thick or too thin. It doesn't rub in instantly which I don't really like but it only takes a little bit of effort to get it all absorbed in. I'm not left feeling sticky at all afterwards which is nice. I wasn't actually expecting it to be super hydrating but at the end of the day, my skin still feels soft. I have very dry skin, so it's nice not to feel scaly or have tight feeling Skin!

The fragrance lasts for a long time on me, at least a few hours which is really nice.

If you like sweet scents, that come from brands using more natural ingredients, than I would recommend this. I plan on buying the full size next week.

This received good reviews so I was keen to try it. I ended trying the 20ml travel as well as the larger pump (which I have for guests in the bathroom now). I used this after washing my hands at work and needing a nice smell to follow the toxic soap in the bathrooms. I chose the intensive as I thought it would be rich. I guess I should have realised a body lotion is for lighter application over the whole body. Anyway I have had to replace my cream at work but it works really well in the guest bathroom at home now and the fragrance is lovely. I am now keen to try a proper handcream by essano as I liked the frangrance and look and it wasn't too greasy or chemical like.
