essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

This product cleansed my skin without drying it. Got all my makeup from around my eyes off too and it also smells yummy :)

I love the Rosehip by Essano range and this cleanser is fab. However, two problems I have with it are it smells quite strongly, I don't know if there is a lot of alcohol in it, but that's what it smells like. Second, it doesn't lather up very well. Having said that, I love it and have ben using it for about 5 months now.

I purchased as park of a trial sized multi item pack . It cleansed ok, scented but not to overpowering, I just can't say it was anything amazing. Probably won't repurchase but was def worth trying and I feel other people might enjoy more than I did

It smells good. It feels good and the best of all it's soap free but foaming. I can actually feel how it works even on my hands.

It's not very good in taking off makeup but I wipe my make-up off before using this. This product is not lying when it says “Gently cleanses while replenishing your skin’s natural moisture barrier." I felt the difference after the first use.

I really love the way my skin feels.

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.

I purchased this on a whim when I ran out of my usual cleanser. what appealed to me most was the fact that it was a gel foaming cleanser so I could use it with my foreo cleansing tool. Unfortunately I don't find I get much of a foam from it, and personally I'm not a large fan of the scent that this product has. However it does what it says and is a good cleanser, I just don't think it's the one for me!

It’s a nice basic cleanser. One thing I do like about it is that it doesn’t dry my skin out. A lot of cleansers are not good for my dry skin but this one seems to do the tick. I’m not sure if I would use again as there are better ones out there. I do like that it is affordable compared to a lot of cleansers.

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.

I am hard to sway from my standard skincare routine, & really, I need an exfoliator. This is the only reason I would not buy again. It smells amazing, the whole series is awesome, the night cream is my favourite, but as they don't offer an exfoliating cleanser, it's not something I would buy again. If you have dry or sensitive skin though, then I would definitely recommend this,
