essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

I love using this face wash, it is gentle, leaves my skin soft and cleanses well. You do not need to much product and it smells delicious. Great for daily use cleanser

I'm a huge Essano fan, but I haven't delved into their cleansers before. Because cleansers can be so drying I've opted for a higher end, more prescriptive cleanser in the past.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this - it really is what it says. A gentle, foaming cleanser. It's not really sudsy, it produces a light froth.

It doesn't strip or over cleanse your skin but it does effectively remove grime and makeup (except waterproof mascara, but heck, we're not expecting miracles people)

It's a very generous size and it's a pump bottle, yay!

Overall I honestly don't think you can find a better supermarket cleanser. Oh, and its natural! And kind to bunnies.

Winning!

In general I find Essano products hit and miss, but this one is a winner. The addition of rosehip oil makes for a gentle wash that cleanses without stripping natural oils from the skin. In addition, this product is easily purchased from the supermarket, making it accessible and affordable. The packaging is a smart brown bottle with a pump top, making it easy to get out a suitable amount of product.

The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is the inclusion of parfum in the ingredients list. Essano do say they only use parfum that has been proven to be non-toxic, but I would still prefer complete transparency in an ingredients list so I can make my own informed decisions.

This cleanser really didn't work for me. I found that after a week of using it I started getting more breakouts, when I hoped the gentle and natrual formula would help control them. However, this is actually due to the fact that my skin reacts badly to rosehip. Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser is rich in rosehip which boasts to even-out skin and leave it soft and hydrated. I actually found this cleanser to be a little bit drying and it left my skin feeling tight after use. As everyone's skin is different and I have discovered that mine does not react well to rosehip oil, I wouldn't steer anyone away from using it.

I was lucky enough to be included in the trial tream for the Essano Foaming Facial Cleanser, I’m a huge fan of all the Essano products and my shower and dressing table are full of their body washes, shampoos and skin care products.

The packaging as always is gorgeous in the rose pink colour. The pump dispenser works well and you really only need one pump to cleanse. Unlike some other cleansers this one does actually clean off all eye make-up, including mascara, so reducing the need to use another product.

My main complaint, and for me it’s a big one, is the scent...... it’s way too strong, enough that every time I used it I felt it was just ‘too much’

It worked well but to be honest I think I’ll stick with Essano’s Creme Cleaser, it works just as well, asnd has a far more subtle scent to it.

Got the foaming cleaner as part of a gift pack from a friend. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The bottle looks attractive and at first glance I thought it was glass, but it was plastic. Pump works well and a single pump lathers up quickly and is more than enough to wash your face, so a little goes a long way. Smells great and leaves skin sort and moisturised. Will buy again

Really happy with this cleanser. It is a good basic every day cleanser that is very affordable. It has a subtle scent of rosehip that isn't overpowering. Easy to use pump bottle makes it great for the shower. One pump is definitely enough as it foams up quite nicely. My skin feels lovely and soft and refreshed after use.
