Gentle but effective

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.

Essano Foaming Cleanser

I purchased this in the Essano Rose Hip Pack. I liked this product at first as it was a smooth texture, went on nicely to my skin and seemed to cleanse my skin well. I know I have dry skin so am always weary of "foam" cleansers as I always relate foam cleansers to be for an oily skin. My skin felt clean but after hopping out of the shower it actually started to feel quite tight round the sides of my face. I will use up the tube in the mornings as a quick wash over but wouldnt repurchase as I fell the cleanser I am using already does a better job and doesnt make my skin feel dry.

Tips: Just be careful if your skin is particularly dry like mine, might be better to go with a cream cleanser

Like Cleansing with Silk

This product comes in a brown bottle with a pink label– plain and kind of pharmaceutical looking.

I surprised to find it is a clear liquid, although the consistency of a lotion. It has the most divine aroma.

I found it didn’t foam up much, like most foaming cleansers do, but it was very gentle on my skin and left my skin feeling very clean without drying.

It claims it is soap-free and soothing to renew skin without drying, and this is exactly what it does. I didn’t need to use a lot of the product each time.

For $14.00 for 140mls I think this is very good value. I would certainly purchase it again and I would recommend it to others to try.

Tips: Use with other products in the range o get the best result.

Gentle Cleanser

I bought this a couple months ago, enjoyed using it and it worked well, i wasn't a fan of the smell though, something i couldn't get use too. The actual formulation is extremely gentle, and felt more like a creamy cleanser vs foam which was nice because i have sensitive skin.

For the price of this product its great value extremely comparable to a high end product.

A super gentle cleanser

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

Nice and Gentle

I got given this as a freebie in my online shopper order – SCORE !!  - I have really enjoyed Essano products so far so was excited to try this.

I included this in my morning shower routine. I always take my makeup off before bed with an oil cleanser and wash and moisturise my face but in the mornings I like to use a foaming cleanser or scrub to wake my skin up before I cover it up in a mountain of goodies before work .

Packaging wise the freebie comes as a small pink tube with a screw top lid it had a really lovely fresh rosehip oil slight fragrance to it, very mild. I popped some into my hand and lathered up on my face – this doesn’t foam up as much as a lot of foam cleansers do (im used to the Thursday plantation one which is super foamy) so it was much more noticeable. However it did feel great on my skin, didn’t irritiate and once out of the shower left my skin feeling clean and fresh but not dried out or tight or any of those things you can sometimes get from using foam cleanser on sensitive skin like mine.

I did end up buying this again when I had used up the freebie as its not very expensive I really liked this as part of my morning shower time routine. I wouldn’t use this as my night time cleanser to remove makeup or anything the oils do a much better job for me but as a way to waken and brighten my face in the morning this will be in my rotation for a wee while I think.

Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser

I had read all about how rosehip oil is really good for skin, including oily skin so thought it was about time I gave it a try myself and I am impressed!

Firstly, my skin is mostly ok, but it gets very oily really quickly on my nose and apples of my cheeks. I also have very large pores which can be a tad unsightly.

The packaging colours have a nice classic feel to it, the dusky pink label stands out well against the brown bottle. It isn't so huge that it takes up too much room in my shower caddy which is nice. I like that it has a pump dispenser but the way that the holes are positioned on the pump means the formula comes out in a slightly different location than expected.

The formula itself is a nice, thick, creamy gel. The fragrance is a little hard to describe but it's almost like a gorgeous fruity floral scent. One pump is more than enough to do my entire face and when rinsed off it leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturised.

The thing I've found most interesting so far is how much it has shrunk my pores. I had no idea it was even possible for a cleanser to shrink pores so it was definitely a nice surprise! I do still have very visible pores, but they're a lot smaller and not as deep as they were.

I have noticed my face doesn't get oily as quickly now, but it still definitely happens. I am hoping that once I'm able to get the Essano moisturiser (to replace my current gel moisturiser) that the oil production will go down a bit more.

Overall, I love this cleanser and definitely will be repurchasing it!

Tips: Be careful when using the dispensing pump as the holes are under the dispenser rather than on the tip so the product can come out in an unexpected direction.

Gentle does it

At around $14.00 for 140 mls I thought I would give Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser a try. I wear a lot of product on weekdays for work so to do a thorough cleanse I need something pretty hardcore. I used this for the first time but I felt it was just a bit too gentle for what I needed. I do cleanse my face in the shower in the mornings and this is where Essano came into its own. It foamed up nicely and left my face feeling totally cleansed and hydrated and ready for the day ahead.

Gentle cleanser

I really liked this as a cleanser, a nice thick gel type cleanser - not the nicest smell but its not over bearing and there is no trace of the smell once it is rinsed off. The pump bottle is handy for use in the shower. Do find I need to moisturise more, but this maybe more of a winter problem rather than the cleanser itself.
