essano Hydrating Rosehip Gentle Exfoliator

I acquired this a while ago when New World had first stopped selling microbead products and were doing a promo where you could trade in any microbead product for one of these. I'm not a fan of manual exfoliators (I prefer acid toners for that) but I thought I would give it a go anyway. I only use this once a week or so the tube has lasted me ages.

What I like about this is that the scrub is in a very creamy base - very similar to Essano's creme cleanser which I love. The scrub particles aren't too scrubby and there's not too many of them so this does feel really gentle. It has a very soft fragrance.

I am unlikely to use this again, just because scrubs aren't my thing. But if you do like them. this a a lovely gentle one to go for.

I was gifted this by my partner . I like it when he gets involved in my beauty buys . I’m a regular at taking care of my skin. My skin type is dry with sensitivity started recently. With ageing forming fine lines on my fore head and under my eyes. No!!! lol

Packaging comes in this rossy pink tube . Formula is creamy I find it hard to detect any scrubbing beads. Smells rosey sweet . It applies well on my skin to me it feels like a moisturiser. It cleans my skin well . Not that good with taking off my make up but that’s ok .

Over all it’s easily accessible in most stores . I think it would be great to add to any gift for a friend or family member . I would use this again as a first cleanse but not a remover.

Natural again my favourite. I jave very sensetive skin and a to harsh scrum makes my skin break out. I love how gentle the essano face scrub is. Its creamy so while exfoliating it also hydrates mu skin. I like the musky smell and after srubing it put on my roship oil and it absorbs into my skon so fast and my skin feels and looks healthy hudraited and smooth.

I've come back to this a few times - it's lovely. Packaging is the Essano characteristic soft pink packaging, with gold, white and brown accents and a black flip top cap at the bottom of the tube, which is an inverted triangular shape.

The cream is easily dispensed, and is a soft off white with the exfoliating pieces - possibly walnut? Not sure.

The product is gentle and soothing, rather than a full on SCRUB - pleasant and not harsh, which is nice.

The subtle scent is really nice as some of their products can be a little strong for my taste.

Skin is left feeling nourished and - not exactly scrubbed, but clean. It's a good product for those who don't like scrubs with bigger exfoliating particles, or those who love their rosehip. It's not great if you need a full deep scrub.

Lovely, good price, and non harmful. I'd buy again

Cons: I'm disappointed to see alcohol as an ingredient twice in a natural product. The scrubbing granules are too small for my personal preference.

I use this exfoliator regularly as it is what it says on the packaging - gentle. It does leave my face feeling nice but sometimes I may need something stronger. This is soft enough to use often!

I wouldn't consider this product as enough to be a scrub personally. It's so gentle that I felt like it wasn't doing much to exfoliate my skin properly when I used this as my only exfoliating product.

It's so creamy that it feels like putting a moisturiser on but with tiny rosehip granules. I thought it would be great for my dry skin because of this but my nose can be very dry and it was still flaking after using. There aren't enough granules throughout the scrub to do a proper job so you end up basically rubbing in a cream cleanser in some areas. I also didn't want to press the granules in too hard because they felt like they could scratch my skin.

Overall, I would not reccomend this as a main exfoliator (unless they were looking for a very light one), but maybe as a top up exfoliator on days when you weren't using your main one. I use exfoliating pads about twice a week and an light exfoliating toner on most days too.

I have bought this product a couple of times now and love it! It's has such a creamy, luscious consistency and leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturised afterwards. It doesn't leave it sticky or dry like some other harsh scrubs out there. The exfoliating granules are quite gentle, so I use this as a scrub every day. If you're looking for a deep scrub, this probably isn't the one for you.

Although it’s a lovely product, smells nice and is smooth and gentle, I didn’t find it very exfoliating. I like quite a firm exfoliation and this product didn’t really provide it for me
