essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

This gorgeous oil comes in a dropper bottle with the same branding as the other Essano products. It is a beautiful blend of Rosehip and Acacia Berry Oils.

It is a pale yellow oil that goes clear on the skin. It is soft and lovely with a gentle fragrance similar to the other products in the range.

The recommendation is to use it after cleaning twice per day, but I’ve applying it after the moisturiser has absorbed, and it leaves my skin with slight glow and feeling soft and silky. I am a big fan of oils anyway, but this one is particularly lovely.

It claims to feed healthy, radiant skin and reverse the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and dull and lifeless skin. I’m not sure about reducing fine lines just yet, but my skin is definitely not dull or lifeless after using it.

At around $23.00 it is good value for a 20ml bottle of oil, and you can use it quite sparingly. I notice it is also available in a larger 45 ml bottle. Countdown have the 20ml bottle on special for $17 this week (until the end of may 2015 I think)!!!

I most certainly will continue to buy this product and other products in the range, and recommend them to others to buy.

As someone who had terrible acne as a teenager, I never thought I'd see the day when I would be slathering oil on my skin! I purchased the Essano mini set after hearing so many wonderful things about it, and I am very glad I did. My skin is very combination- I have a somewhat dry forehead, enlarged pores on my nose and cheeks and frequent hormonal breakouts on my chin. This means that I have no idea what face products I should be using to fit my skins needs. I have tried a cleanser from this range a year or so ago, and found the scent to be quite off-putting (I think they have reformulated since then as I have the cleanser in the mini range and it doesn't smell the same). This rosehip oil has a hint of that musky scent, but in my opinion its very subtle and disappears upon application. Using this oil or the first time was quite terrifying- I was sure that I would wake up to find my entire face had broken out! I've been using this for a couple weeks now however, and no such thing has happened. I apply a couple drops prior to night cream, pressing my oil kissed hands first onto my forehead (so the bulk of the oil hits the driest part of my face), then my cheeks, and whatever residual is left onto my chin. I let this soak in for a minute before applying eye cream and night cream. My skin feels soft and plump after application. I do find that the oil sits a little on top of your skin so I would only use this at night. I also only use this a couple times a week as I'm not sure my skin would need this intense an amount of moisture on a daily basis. I will definitely repurchase when my sample size vial runs out.

Awesome product. I loved using this on my skin. I saw results when using the product. It made my skin feel super clean.

I love rosehip oil as I find it really helps add a bit of extra moisture to my skin - especially during winter! I usually would apply this after cleansing my face and then apply moisturiser on top, and if using for stretch marks, scars or sun damaged skin I would exfoliate in the shower and apply this afterwards. It absorbs really quickly and doesn't actually feel super oily on your skin so I feel like it would suit all/most skin types. Would definitely recommend!

Well I couldn’t make it past the smell of this product. I don’t know what it is that is in it that make it smell but it reminds me of a burned match stick. In fact so much so I mixed in some essential oils to ameliorate the smell.

Now anyone that knows me knows I’m not a fan of strong scents but really this was a surprise. I opened it a couple of months ago and the first time I used it I thought it was odd. Then I went to use it more recently and it reminded me of the same thing so I don’t think it’s an issue with the freshness of the product. I just don’t like the smell, so it’s a subjective thing.

I use it on my hands and arms at night now and it does do the job but I don’t find it as moisturising as say the Plantae Rosehip Fruit and Seed Serum that I use on my face at night as a skin treatment. I was hoping to use the Essano for that purpose when I brought it but to me it doesn’t cut the grain. Other people love it though - and that’s a good thing!

I recently started using this product again after giving myself a break from it for about 3 months and I forgot how much I loved it. I use this every night before my moisturizer, it takes about 3 drops to do my whole face. By the time the morning comes around it has completely absorbed and leaves my skin feeling great. The packaging is really good on this, it has the little eye dropper so I can easily control how much I'm using and the bottle is glass which I like, plastic to me is a bit cheap feeling. The price point for this is great and its super easy to find (local supermarket). I haven't gone through a whole bottle yet so I can't tell you how long it lasts but I would say possibly the better part of 6+ mths. I know for some people using oil on your face sounds a bit scary but it is worth giving a go as it also helps with acne scarring and fine lines. I never find that my skin if left oily but I do have Normal/Dry skin so I'm not sure how this would go on someone with Oily skin. The one thing I don't like about this is the smell, to me it just smells like cooking oil and it does tend to linger for a while but its natural so I suppose the smell isn't going to be really nice and floral, but I do wish it had a faint smell of something nice. Overall great product :)

I saw this at the supermarket after seeing a little bit about it in a magazine, so thought I would pick up a bottle of the oil to use at night in combination with my normal eye cream. This product is wonderful! Easy to apply and massage into the face. It absorbs very quickly too which is good if you don't want an oily pillow. I have noticed that it is very good for healing any spots or marks on my face and generally reduces the redness. For the price of the bottle and how far it goes on each application, I believe it is fantastic value. It is so good to see an organic NZ product on the market that does as it says!

This is a really nice gentle face oil. I think that it did help with some redness on my skin. I didn't really find it all that moisturising though. I had to use a fair amount to feel that my skin had been moisturised. It is kind of an average product for me. Also I think it does help a bit with scars though if you keep up with putting it on them at least every night.

This Rosehip Oil has been the best thing for my skin. I use this morning and night before my moisturiser. I use it all over my face including around the eye area. Its cleared up dry skin patches, help reduce pores, has reduced redness and makes my skin feel so soft. It also seems to be helping my makeup sit better and last longer throughout the day. I have Oily skin with the odd dry patches. it seemed strange to put oil on an oily complexion, but it actually seems to help control it. The only reason i haven't given it 5 out of 5 is for the slight smell of the oil. i haven't tried the Triology or any other Rosehip oil yet, so not sure if this is the same with all of them. But its not strong enough or bad enough to stop me using this amazing product. Great price so its an affordable staple. Definitely try it!
