essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

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

This has been my go-to cleanser on days when I want something that's not harsh or drying on my skin. This has a gel-like consistency with a little bit of a foaming action. Generally I prefer a product with a very generous foam as it makes me feel like my skin is being well-cleansed. The gel like texture of this cleanser means that I don't miss the lack of foaming as it seems to distribute well across my face and gently freshen my skin. I will repurchase as I like to have a gentle cleanser on hand for use once or twice a week

I have been using the essano gel foaming cleanser for about three months now. I find it cleansing on my mature skin without drying it out. I like how the gel foams up (it’s not too foamy at all) enough to clean off make up without being too messy. My face always looks clean, shiny and fresh after use. I would be happy to keep using this product and tell friends about it.

The Essano gentle foaming cleanser is exactly what it says it is; no fancy smells or exclusive colorings just gentle on your skin and an effective cleanser. I love the simple ingredients and the way it makes my skin feel after cleansing. There is no tightening of the skin or excessive striping of natural oils as some cleansers do. As I have aged my skin has been sensitive at times and this cleanser has in the short time I have been using it really agrees with my skin and helped reduce redness and calm it. I will definitely continue to use this product and will look in to adding more essano products to my arsenal.

The first thing I noticed about this was that it is very thick - almost gummy, and slightly difficult to pump out of the bottle. Once I had the right amount in my hand, I noticed the very sweet almost sickly smell, like the smell of Turkish delight. When using this, I found the smell too much. The gel did not foam at all on my face, but washed off easily. Overall, I did not enjoy using this product as a facewash.

Essano Rosehip Oil Cleanser is a soap-free facial cleanser with active natural botanicals and certified organic. It is not tested on animals and is made in NZ. The cleanser is rich in certified organic Rosehip Oil and includes Aloe Vera for hydration. 97.36% of the total ingredients in the formula are of natural origin with 5.05% of the total ingredients from organic farming. Essano is a New Zealand based natural skincare brand that I've only recently become aware of because of the brand's eco-friendly philosophy. Essano claim that their Rosehip Facial Oil will soothe, renew and cleanse skin without drying. The cleanser comes in a brown plastic pump bottle which is recyclable and easy to dispense. I like that the entire bottle is a dark brown which helps to protect the integrity of the ingredients. A label wraps around the bottle, with a product description, a full ingredient list, plus a list of ingredients that you will never find in Essano's products, for example no parabens, sulphates, silicones, and so on. All of the product's packaging is recyclable. The cleanser has fragrance added which smells slightly synthetic but as it dissipates quite quickly it wasn’t a problem for me. I use the cleanser every morning and evening along with my other Essano products. I wet my face and neck and use one pump on my facial brush, which I then use to thoroughly clean my skin. The gel in combination with water, works to a very light lather, only foaming slightly. I find the gel works well on its own but it is exactly the right consistency to use with a facial brush. I really like the pump action of this cleanser and find that you don't need very much to obtain completely cleansed skin. I am particularly wary of gel cleansers as I find many are too drying and often have leftover residue. A little goes a long way so it's excellent value for a natural plant based cleanser which is free of GMO's and contains such good ingredients. I have combination skin, and my skin can be slightly dry. I found this cleanser did take off my makeup well, I also haven't had any skin reactions, but it left my skin with a slight feeling of tightness and dryness. I felt I had to follow up with a moisturiser straight away. However, I do not feel that my skin has been stripped of its natural oils. I do think this cleanser does the job, taking the price into consideration I think that it is an excellent product. I would recommend it, but I would not personally re-use it. I think this product would work better for normal to combination skin which doesn’t have areas of dryness.

This cleanser does a beautiful job. I use it every night, especially following make up removal if I wore any that day or just to ensure my skin is clean before heading to be. It has quite a silky texture and is very hydrating. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and flaky like some other cleansers but it still feels clean. The scent is very pleasant and the product is very affordable.

This product came in the Essano gift box. I have pretty sensitive skin but thought I'd try it anyway just to see if it was any good and the results were excellent. This cleanser was so gentle that I thought it wasn't doing anything to my skin, that is until I looked in the mirror after my shower and noticed that my complexion was a lot softer and the tone a lot more even and my pores, especially on my nose were clear and tightened. My face didn't feel dry or tight either. I'll definitely use this again.
