essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

The Essano hydrating rosehip gel cleanser really works wonders, it leave my skin free of all makeup residue and feeling healthy and dewy, it works especially well with the other Essano skin care. I apply it with a flannel and then lather it with my hands. Its hard to find a cleanser that will remove long lasting or even waterproof foundation but this one really gives a great cleanse. And the bonus is it contains over 97.38% natural organic ingredients which is very appealing. I really want to support products that have no nasty chemicals because who wants to put hidden toxins on their skin. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a great makeup removing cleanser.

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.

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 have combo/oily skin, and found this cleanser seriously dried my skin out. I don't find many cleansers do, but this did, it felt like I had washed my face with some harsh soap. The smell also wasn't very pleasant, yet not rank as anything either. The pump was a very effective way of delivering enough product. An average product.

I purchased this as part of the Essano Rosehip Kit after hearing so many ladies rave about the range on here and reading about the benefits of rosehip oil.

I have oily, acne-prone skin so normally I tend to go for cleansers which specifically target these concerns, but I have previously used a more gentle cleanser and it worked really well with my skin so I wanted to give this a go.

I really liked the pump bottle it came in, it's my preferred style of packaging when it comes to cleansers as I find it allows you to disperse just the right amount of product without wastage.

Like the other products in the Essano Rosehip range, this has a lovely light rose fragrance, which is feminine but not overpowering, especially as I dislike a strong fragrance in skincare. The formula is a clear, gel-like liquid which is quite thin in consistency, similar to a lotion. I used a few pumps of this applied directly to my wet face, using either my hands or my exfoliating brush to cleanse my face.

I found that despite being a 'foaming' cleanser this didn't really seem to foam much for me at all, even with a few pumps. I also didn't feel like it really provided a thorough cleanse so preferred to use it at the end of the day after using a makeup remover and with the exfoliating brush to really give a proper cleanse.

This is a very gentle product and I liked that after using it my skin did feel clean and soft. I probably wouldn't purchase it myself again though as I felt it didn't really provide the clean my troubled skin really needs by itself and I would prefer something with a bit more punch to meet my skincare needs.

I was picked to review this, so first thanks for that! I have lots of issues with my face, the biggest being eczema, then combination skin and the good old occasional adult acne. so im pretty hesitant to try things on my face. but this cleanser is soap free, so thats a big selling point for me. i like the bottle, nice looking and easy to use. its easy to apply, mine did go a little stiff in between applying and washing off, but that was only for the time it was on my face. pump some cleanser out onto your palms and rub together to get foam, although mine wasn't really that foamy, (it was more like a cream) after washing, my face feels amazing! i actually couldn't believe it. its soft, feels like i have moisturized it, when i haven't. the best park about this, my face has had no reaction to it, which is amazing, not itchy or redness. im super impressed!

I use most of the products in this range, and love them all. BUT, out of all that I've tried this is probably my least favourite because the smell could be better (even though it's not overpowering, it's just not... amazing.) Having previously used non-foaming cleansers I thought this would take me some time to get used to, but no, I enjoyed using this. The pump applicator is really handy. I find that it removes makeup and grime quite easily with no need for 2nd applications. It leaves no residue and my skin feels calm and not dry after using it. Once again, this product contains natural ingredients and no parabens or other nasties. I'll keep using it for sure.

I purchased this in the pack of miniatures this brand sells to try out this range of products and see whether I wanted to purchase full sizes of any of them. As a lover of rosehip oil as a moisturiser this range really appealed to me.

I love that this comes in a pump bottle as I find this the quickest and cleanest way to use most beauty/skincare products. The cleanser looks like a gel when it is dispensed and when massaged into the skin turns into a light foam (it doesn't foam as much as a standard cleanser and to me is somewhere in between a cream cleanser and really foamy soap like cleanser). I like the light scent that this product has and have found it nice and gentle on my dry sensitive skin. Despite its gentleness I feel it cleanses my face well and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight. I think this is a great cleanser for those who want something gentle and effective, but, probably not the best for those with more blemished skin who need a stronger (salicylic acid (or similar) containing) cleanser.

I think this is great value for money and I will enjoy using it when my skin isn't so prone to breakouts.

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.

Love, love, love this cleanser! Totally gentle. No inflammation of my skin. Using twice daily and no drying effects. Feels great and smells even better! Will not be going back to any other face wash totally love this product.
