essano Body Lotion

I brought this about a week ago and l love it the smell is amazing. I have issues with really dry skin on my legs this works a treat not greasy and absorbs really well. Not a heavy lotion it's nice and light.

I bought a sample set of Essano Rosehip products, and adored everything else in the set. This, for me, was the bad apple.

To spin the positives, I love the soft pink girly packaging, the concept of rosehip in a lotion, and the lotion itself in terms of it being lightweight, easily absorbed and hydrating.

However, the lotion is scented in such a way that it is very fake, powdery, and sweet. Although it is a nice light lotion, this scent clings to your skin and is a little cloying. It's not at all pleasant to me.

I also don't think that the lotion delivers as promised on 'deep moisturisation' and intense hydration'- for me it's light and refreshing in feel, but let down by the scent. I would be disappointed if I'd bought this expecting it to be a heavy duty moisturiser - and I'd be disappointed if I bought it with the expectation that Essano had created an awesome addition to their rosehip collection. As much as I love the rest, I fear they have missed the mark with this one.

This winter has paid a toll on my skin, it has been something strangely new as my skin isn't normally this dry, I recently went on an Essano binge buy and this was one of their products I purchased.

For an intensive body lotion I found the consistency a lot lighter than most, it is a thin formula so a small amount can cover a lot, it doesn't absorb quickly so you need to give it a little helping with rubbing it into your skin.

The lotion isn't sticky and has a soothing cool effect when I apply it each time, I like to continue rubbing it into the skin even when its absorbed because it feels so smooth. I am pleasantly surprised with how well it keeps my elbow ends feeling smooth, those are something that constantly needed lotion until using this. Ive been using this morning and night, my elbow ends dont feel like sandpaper anymore.

This is the first floral rose fragrance that I like, its quite subtle and doesn't clash when I wear perfume. If you put your nose to your skin you can smell the rosey scent even hours after you've moisturized. Its also one of the few moisturizers I can apply on to my skin after Ive shaved my legs and I dont get that awful stinging effect.

I love this body lotion so much, it has helped me get through this winter, Ill be repurchasing another bottle this week!

If there's one thing I'm a sucker for, its gorgeous smelling body lotions. This one has me sooo sucked in! its sooo divine! To me its sort of a warm floral/woody scent. And its strong. Its also great value for $16 for a 400ml pump bottle, which has so far lasted me 3 months, I still have 1/4 left. I have also been using this on my hands for a little indulgence and find myself walking around smelling my hands lol.

Moisturising properties...... well, to be perfectly honest, Its not super thick, nor is it runny, but it does have a nice smooth consistency. It was great throughout the heat of summer, but now that its cooling I've found I've had to use another thicker lotion to keep some areas on my body from drying out. So unfortunately I had to take a point off for that, which makes me a little sad because I love the smell so much lol.

So if you have super dry skin on your body, especially in cooler months, I wouldn't recommend this as your only product. But gosh it smells good! But I guess overall this is meant as a moisturiser not a perfume.

Use this everyday after my shower, and it leaves me smelling and feeling amazing!!

My skin is super soft, I smell super good, and a little goes such a long way.

I love it!!

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 have used other Essano products before and really liked them, but this one just didn't quite tick all the boxes for me.

The scent is amazing and the formula has a great consistency. It was easily absorbed and not too greasy.

I wanted to like it a lot more than I did (especially because it smelt so good!), but it just didn't seem to moisturise quite as well as I needed it to. As a disclaimer, I have very dry problematic skin and I think I am just suited to a much heavier product. It did not irritate my sensitive skin though.

I think this would be a lot better suited as a general moisturiser to someone with skin a lot less demanding than mine.

Really... This stuff is amazing.

Firstly it smells amazing. Not that gross chemically scent you normally get from moisturizers. Secondly. It does what it says.

I have tattooed arms, so I like to keep them nice and moisturized (yes they're healed, so I can use what I want on them) This is my favourite stuff. It keeps my skin SO soft, and so as a result the colours look so bright. I constantly have the typical 'oh can i touch your tattoo? WOW your skin is so soft'

Only dilemma is that I was applying it on my elbows, and one time they just slid right off the table, that's how smooth they were. Serves me right for my putting my elbows on the table.

My colleague brought this for me for my birthday this year. It is absolutely divine!!! It leaves skin so smooth and the scent is beautiful. It was a very pleasant surprise! And the fact that it is organic... how awesome! Would totally recommend trying this if you haven't already.

I've been using this after winning an Essano products prize pack. Lotion isn't something that I typically use although I always have it for a quick hydration fix, when I don't have time to lounge around in my bath robe waiting for the slow absorbing oils/creams I usually use to soak in.

The look and feel of this lotion formula is much like any other, it absorbs quickly and the scent I love it's smoothly sweet & spicey, reminds me of ginerbread yum!

So as far as lotion goes I think this is sufficiently hydrating (for a 'normal' skin type anyway) when applied in the morning and again at night. Sufficent yes, desired level of hydration no, but that's maybe just a preference thing plus moisturising is something I don't really want to have to do more than once a day.

The fact that this moisturiser has rosehip, jojoba and shea butter in it makes me very happy to use it, beautiful skin care ingredients amongst my favorites. I really like this body lotion more so than others i've tried, it's quality & value for money. (Not that I purchased this one but I'm likely to in future.)
