Happy skin

I stumbled across this cleanser just recently as I hadn't seen it before - and due to my curious nature when it comes to cosmetics I had to buy it. I usually give my self a good week before making judgement on a product, and now three weeks in I am planning a trip to get some more.

I have found so many cleansers have dried my skin, left it feeling tight and irritated and this one has done the complete opposite. It feels like it is cleansing deep down in the pores and removes all makeup, including waterproof mascara. After a shower my skin feels moisturized and not tight at all.

And the big plus for me is that my skin blemishes have been disappearing one by one. Very happy :)

Tips: A little goes a long way!

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 whisper

I ran out of my Skinfood cleanser . I’m all about buying New Zealand at the moment. I wanted to give this Essano cleanser a try. I picked this up on my weekend away in hamilton. Chemist warehouse was having a sale there on Essano so I picked this one up .

Packaging reminiscent of the Essano . Fairly large sized bottle . Bigger than most cleanser. Pump bottle makes application a dream to work with .

Consistency is a clear gel that has a mild rose scent to it . It seems to foam up gently on my skin. Feels like a gentle whisper on my face. I have no skin irritations during or after application. Most cleansers dry out my skin . Not this one . It’s lovely .

I think this could easily last me another two months with regular daily usage. It makes my skin feel clean and fresh without any tightening occurring on my skin. I’ve noticed my dry patches have gone since using it . I’m happy with these results . I would buy this again.

Not a fan

I have been using the essano body lotion and don't mind it's rose scent but this just smells wrong. It's got a hint of the fresh floral smell of the body lotion but it also has a more artificial smell, almost like a fruity nail polish remover or those nasty cheap scented nail polishes from back in the day. The packaging is nice enough, and will survive being dropped in the shower. The pump gives a good amount of product too. I suppose it does everything it says it will. It is gentle and foams up nicely but it won't cut through make up so I wash my face with almond oil to remove my make up first. All in all I using it up because I have it but I won't be repurchasing. I don't like to use something with such a bad and heavy smell on my face.

Tips: Not a key part of the essano range. For someone trying out their products I would possibly skip this and stick with the body lotion and rosehip oil.

Super gentle but feels cleansing

I’m guilty of sometimes getting quite aggressive cleansers because I feel like it’s actually doing more cleansing. So it was great to try this super gentle cleanser and notice that I still feel like I’m getting results.

I’ve used the hair products from this range before and I much prefer the smell of this cleanser to the shampoo and conditioner I use. It still smells natural but isn’t overwhelming.

I also love the gorgeous packaging in this range and that it has a super easy to use pump, which isn’t super common in cleansers.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed using this cleanser as my everyday for the past week and I’ve found it really gentle, effective and hydrating.

Amazing!

I have very sensitive and dry skin, I am on my 3rd bottle of this product and it is the only thing that I will ever use again. It is so hydrating and makes my skin silky smooth. follow this with the moisturizer and it is the perfect match. My skin has never been clearer, and being in winter my skin is normally so dry but I have not had an issue this winter thanks to this amazing product.

Essano Cleanser

I tried this cleanser as part of a trial pack from the supermarket. The pack was reasonably priced and the sizes were perfect for my gym bag. I was impressed with this cleanser. Because I have combination sensitive skin rosehip oil is a wonder product for me, as it heals the dry sensitive skin. However, I also get excess oil around my nose and chin, so I don't like using cleansers that are too creamy. As such. this lathering cleansing gel with rosehip oil is kind on my skin but gets the job done. This product was as effective or more effective than many more expensive brands I have tried. Trilogy, the other brand known for its use of rosehip oil, is much too rich for my skin and makes me break out. If you, like me, love rosehip oil but find Trilogy too heavy for your skin, give this one a go.

Tips: Buy the trial pack to sample most of the Essano products for a very reasonable price.

Heaven in a pink bottle.

This is by farrrrrrr my favorite supermarket cleanser ! As soon as I saw "organic" and "rose hip" I was instantly sold, it is a pleasant smelling, beautiful textured cleanser that leaves your skin so soft and clean. I prefer not to mix it with water, I wet my face and use the cleanser to remove make up and cleanse my face, also great for double cleansing as it does not dehydrate your skin. The cleanser goes well with its little friends, the gentle moisturizer and night creme . Ahhhh I adore this range.

Tips: Instead of bringing the cleanser to a foam with water, dampen your face and use straight from the bottle onto your face.
