Great Exfoliator

I waited for this to come out for so long. Essano previewed it for so long on their Instagram that I actually started to get annoyed with how long it was taking to get onto the shelves for me to be able to try it. That is my only whingy comment to make about this product however. This cleanser comes in a handy top down tube which makes it super easy to get use in the shower. The product itself is an almost mustard brown/yellowish colour and does not have much of a scent to it. It has a very creamy texture and the exfoliating bits aren't too harsh feeling on my skin. Because of the thick creamy texture it feels like a little bit of luxury has been put on my face and I really like it. It does a great job with what it's supposed to do and my skin looks great and is smooth after using it. I love the whole Essano range and this had been a fantastic and much needed addition to the existing product range.

Rosehip scrub

Another awesome product from Essano, comes in a nice tube with its flip top lid that's easy to squeeze the goodies out, this is a caramel coloured cream cleanser quite thick in its texture containing tiny rosehip bio granules. A very mild scent reminding me of vanilla gone wrong. I rub this around gently on wet skin on my face and neck after I've cleansed it. I'm finding this to be a gental exfoliater not harsh on my skin yet still does a good job of removing dry skin and cleansing. It is like a combination of a creamy cleanser and exfoliant in one. I'm loving this it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and glowing. Doesn't give you that extra lets scrubb it all off feeling though and sometimes I'm after that feeling. Price wise this is a good quality product so for me value for your money and it's not like your going to use it all up in a hurry as a bit the size of a walnut does the job so it will last a while.

Tips: Apply to cleansed wet skin and gently work it around pat dry I then go for the rosehip oil and my skin is happy.

Love this product - I use it every day

I use this product on a daily basis, it's got a good ratio of aggregate to cream and you really feel like it's scrubbing away the grimy day.

The smell is pleasant and natural with a hint of sweetness and the packaging is brilliant, clean and very appealing.

In my routine I follow this product up with a couple of pumps of the foaming facial cleanser just to calm the skin and remove any lingering traces of the scrub.

If I use the scrub on it's own I find that my skin gets very dry, very quickly following my shower.

Essano Gentle Facial Exfoliator

This exfoliator is pretty good. I have combination skin which is prone to breakouts. This exfoliator does not irritate my skin at all. I have been using it daily for a week now and have had no issues. The packaging of this product is simple. The texture is slightly gritty (as you would expect) and the smell of the product is not overpowering. The product comes out as a light brown colour. The 'beads' which exfoliate the skin are not too rough so do not irritate the skin yet by the end of it my skin feels polished and super clean. I tend to use a moisturiser after I pat dry and I do not have any problems with that eithet. Overall, I am glad this product is around. Happy with the fact that there are no weird chemicals in it. Would most likely repurchase once I finish this tube. Although a little goes a long way so won't even have to worry for a while!

Tips: Rub the product in gentle circular motions on your face in order to increase circulation!

Silky smooth.

I purchased the product for the bargain price of $10 at Countdown, so I'm already impressed with it as rose-hip based products are usually quite pricy. However the quality of this product is phenomenal. It's fine granules lightly exfoliate while the rose-hip soothes and softens your skin. I have used it twice a week for a couple of weeks now and I have noticed that my skin has become noticeably softer to the touch. I do still use a gentle moisturiser after I exfoliate however.

The packaging is gorgeous, a nice dusky pink with black white and gold lettering. The amount of product inside is generous and the lid on the bottom style packaging ensures that you will be able to get every drop out of it!

Tips: A 20c coin size dollop of product is more than enough! Also, be sure to exfoliate your neck and clavicle a little bit too!

Another lovely product from Essano

Essano has quickly become one of my favourite brands. I love the focus on the natural ingredients and the fact its a great New Zealand company, with such affordable products.

I already have the cleanser, moisturiser, night cream and oil in my collection, so when I saw this at the supermarket it was time to add another product to my collection.

Firstly, the packaging is lovely. So feminine and with a very cute, 60s glamour look. It's in my favourite colour, pink, and like all the other Essano products it just looks stunning and glamorous. By looking at it you would think it's a high end product, when its extremely affordable. I love I can just purchase this at the supermarket, with my grocery shop.

My skin can be dry, combination and reactive, so I look for my skincare to be as natural as possible - without some nasties that are in other products. This Essano product, like the other products in the range are perfect and so gentle for my skin.

The formula is a browny colour, with small granules within the formula. I use this a couple of times a week. I wet my face and massage a small amount over my face, it feels refreshing and is o gentle to slough away the dead skin. No stinging or tight feeling like you can get with other exfoliators. I feel this helps to even out my skin tone and makes my skin feel brighter.

This is another winner from Essano, and just like it says it is, it's a gentle exfoliator that delivers what it says. Such an affordable product, that is of high quality like the rest of the products in the Essano range. Thanks Essano.

Tips: If you love Essano products, add this to your collection.

Essano Cream Exfoliator With Few Sparse Rough Bits

I was lucky to win this in a pack with some other products. I do really like Essano products so I was happy to get this. I've never heard of rosehip bio-exfoliants but I was hoping these tantalizing all natural rosehip bits were as gentle as jojoba beads which are my favorite natural manual exfoliant. The product comes in a big pink 100ml tube which is a really good size for the price. The exfoliant is a cream cleanser with a with a few sparse scrubby exfoliants. It smells like the signature earthy rose scent that I found the line to smell like. I do like that the ingredients in this scrub are organic. The ingredients are water, aloe vera juice, glyceryl stearate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, coco-caprylate, cetaryl alcohol and cetearyl glucoside, ceteraryl glucoside and sorbitan olivate, cetyl alcohol, glycerin, stearyl alcohol, rose hip extract, beeswax, benzyl alcohol, dehydroacetic acid, silica, xanthan gum, fragrance, rosehip fruit oil, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, potassium sorbate and lactic acid. 99% of the total ingredients are of natural origin and 11.7% of the total ingredients are from organic farming. It's even certified by Ecocert. When I used this I had no allergic reactions or stinging. The product was easy to get out of the tube which is great considering I did have packaging issues with two of their other products. They come in a tube though. However there is two big cons for me when it comes to this product. One is that the scrubby bits aren't concentrated enough in this scrub for me to get a nice even exfoliation when I use this. The other con is that the exfoliating bits are too rough. It feels like some parts of my face are getting scratched and others are just getting gently cleansed by a cream cleanser. I do think if the Rosehip bio-exfoliants or more likely it's silica, was replaced by jojoba beads and a lot more jojoba beads than current ratio of silica to cream cleanser, this would be a really nice gentle facial scrub. But because of that I won't purchase this and I'll probably give it away.

Tips: If you love natural products and scrubs and the rosehip bio-exfoliants are beckoning you, they aren't as gentle as jojoba beads. What's most likely the exfoliant in this scrub is silica. Also this scrub doesn't have enough of it to give a good even scrub, so if you like the exfoliants to be more concentrated in your scrub give this a pass.

Soft, gentle exfoliation

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.

Tips: Makes for a nice hand or foot exfoliator!

A go to!

A great gentle scrub. I actually used this nearly every day and it left my face smooth and bright. Was great to remove any lingering makeup that a makeup remover missed.

Tips: Use a hydrating facial moisturizer after use.

Favourite product

This is my favourite exfoliator. I love the smell and it does exactly what it says it will. You will fresh and clean skinned after having used it. The only issue some people may have is that it feels like it drys out your skin a bit, however I find it does this but it doesn't cause me to break out afterwards, I always apply a facial moisturiser. I actually found it helped with my acne and its also when I typically used it.

My advice is be aware of your skin type when using and perhaps get the box pack so you can try out mutiple essano products before investing in a full sized product.

Tips: Be aware of your skin type
