My skin loves this

I'll start by saying that I have normal- oily skin, that's prone to breakouts. This cleanser is wonderful, its like a gel, not really foaming as it states, but its enough of the right consistency that it feels like its doing a good job. Its not drying at all, doesn't leave my skin feeling tight afterwards, yet cleansing enough that it feels like it worked. If that makes any sense at all lol. It doesn't leave me feeling like I've got to hurry to get moisturiser on afterwards. I've had barely any breakouts at all after using this range.

It smells lovely, like the rest of the range, sort of a warm floral fragrance, but its not overpowering. Takes off my makeup easily, except for waterproof liner.

It hasn't caused my skin to breakout, dry out, or freak out in anyway, I love this stuff and will definitely buy more!

Great Cleanser

I have been using this cleanser as a part of the whole Essano skin care range for about a month now. It is really easy to use you just apply it to wet palms and rub onto your face and then wash it off. It leaves my skin feeling beautifully clean and soft. It's a clear gel which when you work it in it foams up slightly. It is great at getting makeup off (although I use a different product for my eyes) and I am very happy with the results I have been getting from using this cleanser.

Tips: You only need to use a really small amount so the product lasts for ages.

Loved this cleanser

I brought this from the supermarket after yet again running out of my normal cleanser that I purchase online.

I know that rosehip is good for your skin and so thought that this would be awesome, I was right, it was lovely in fragrance nothing overpowering, the texture was spot on not too watery nor too thick that would prevent it easily being pumped out of the bottle.

Design wise it sat nicely on my vanity sink, just right and the pump was easy to use, especially with wet hands. Cleansing action was divine, almost squeaked afterwards, it made my skin feel soft and look brighter, and didn't aggravate me nor set off my weird combi skin swing to the dry side. Overall a solid good everyday cleanser that is good value for money and easy accessible.

essano gentle foaming cleanser

I received two sample size bottles of this from sample bar. I enjoyed how easy it is to use and how you get the right amount of product that is needed to do your face. I have found to me that it smells like bubblegum and I love that smell. I have found that my skin feels amazing after using this cleanser.

Pretty good.. But a tiny bit 'stripping'

I haven't always been in love with cleansing.. There was one product that totally opened my eyes and changed my mind.. Since then however with pretty high expectations I have had an open mind at trying other cleansers..

I got a couple of these in a Sample bar box so have given them a fair good trial.

Easy to use pump. Ideal for keeping in the shower - not like lids with a flick open.. You know the kind that soak up shower water and go all gunky.. EW..

Nice formula that lathers easily. Feels good on the skin and does a pretty good job and all round cleansing, make up removal etc..

What I don't like is how 'squeaky' almost over cleaned/stripped my skin feels after using it. Being it is a product that is meant to have wondrous Rosehip Oil in it.. I certainly wasn't expecting that sort of result.

My skin might feel clean.. But it feels like its too tight and like its been stripped of the good stuff.. So in saying that I don't use it often! Its more a part time relationship rather than full time!

Lovely but didnt quite meet my needs

I was really excited to try this product when I first saw it at Countdown. The packaging is great - I loved the brown bottle with the rose coloured label and bottle with the pump - the price is fabulous - I believe I paid $15 at Countdown.

The texture and constancy (thick) of the Cleanser is very nice and the application is easy and smooth on the face. I love the pump as you know exactly how much you need without wastage.

I found the cleanser did not remove my make-up (even when using a make-up wipe first to remove excess) my excess eye Make-up just seemed to smudge around my face. I was not too keen on the smell personally and that actually put me off the product.

At this stage I do not plan to re-purchase as it did not quite meet MY needs, however that does not mean I would not recommend to others as I do believe it is a great product.

Gently cleansing with rosehip benefits

I've been using this after trying it in my samplebar subscription, I've purchased the full size which is very generous for sizing. I really like the scent. The cleanser has a thick gel like consistency, and is easy to apply. I do need to make sure when washing it off, that it is properly rinsed off, as it is thick. It gently removes eye makeup as well.

A tad drying

I love the pump bottle, very easy to use and one pump usually is enough. The consistancy of this cleasner Is a nice smooth thickness. The smell Is lovely and very suttle which is great. I love the fact that It has rosehip oil in it which my skin is in favour of. It leave's my skin feeling smooth and clean, the only downfall for my skin (which is combination) is that it seemed to dry it out abit and make my skin feel tight, which I did'nt think would happen as it contains rosehip oil and is soap-free and claims to be non drying., so for that reason I do no longer use this or have repurchased this product. It's just not for me sadly as it is really affordable.

Tips: some skin types will need a good serum or moisterzier to re hydrate the skin after cleansing.

Good Start!

This is a good basic average cleanser! I must be the only person in the world that is immune to rose-hip. So I gave this to my teenage brother that has sever acne to try out. Therefore I am writing this on his behalf and how well it worked for him.

At fist he was put off the scent but to me it smelled divine. So girly and rosey. One pump is enough and it therefore made it so much easier for someone in there teens especially boys to use.

It took about 3 weeks before we noticed a major difference. His pore were much clearer aswell as the blemishes where much smaller! No big bumps here! He seems much more confident now and he doesn't mind the scent due to how effective it was.

Smells Fab!!

I first stumbled across this as a sample size from Sample Bar and was so impressed I went out and bought the rest of the products from this range! It has a lovely scent, it foams well and you don't need to use much to feel like you've given your skin a decent cleanse. I have very oily skin and since using this for a few months it has calmed down a bit.

Tips: If you want to try the range, at Countdown they have an introductory pack with the cleanser, body lotion etc in it in sample sizes - great for taking on holiday too! Its usually $25 but I've seen it on sale for $20
