Essano Rosehip

I got given this by a friend of mine when I pregnant and I was quite excited to try it. I had tried the Essano cleansers before and found them quite nice.

This comes in a pump bottle with the simple Essano pink and brown. I'm typically not a huge pump bottle fan as I find you can never get the bottom product and its not something you can ever chuck in your makeup bag to head away anywhere.

It has only a faint scent, a tiny bit of a floral I guess rose scent nothing overpowering and nothing that bothered me at all.

Its a light non greasy consistency that applied to my skin well and absorbed easily. I have skin more prone to the dry side and while this was a lovely moisturiser its not quite heavy enough for what I like.

No irritations or anything (I also have quite sensitive skin). Overall this was a lovely moisturiser I just prefer something a little bit heavier.

Essano Moisturiser Rosehip SPF 15

Essano is a range of skin care products that you can purchase at your supermarket which makes it very accessible. It is also a very good price so there really isnt anything stopping you trying this.It comes in a 75ml bottle with a pump applicator. There are pros and cons about pumps but I just love the convenience of them.

The cream, I found was light and it absorbed easily into my skin. It dosent smell overpowering in fact it is quite subtle. My face and neck felt smooth and nourished after using this cream. I have slightly oily skin and this worked well as it is light. I didnt find it made my skin more oily which is a huge plus for me, with the added bonus of an spf 15.

I would suggest you try this, I didnt find anything too wrong with this product.

Light and lovely

Again I can't rave enough about the Essano products - this is just as fab! It smells great and feels nice on. Very reasonably priced too

Tips: I recommend buying the range - or at least this and the cleanser.

Weird Experience

I bought this product because I heard rosehip is really good for the skin and it was quite cheap so I thought it was worth a try. When I first started using it, it was great. I loved how moisturising it was and how fast it absorbed into my skin. About 2 weeks into using it I started getting 1 or 2 random pimples and as soon as they would go away another 1 would pop out of nowhere and this went on for a few weeks. For me this was very unusual because I hardly ever get pimples and when I do its once in a while. I had not used any new products besides the moisturiser so naturally I thought it was the moisturiser. Once I stopped it for about a week, my face cleared up and i wasn't getting anymore breakouts. So unfortunately this product did not agree with me and I won't be using it again.

Essano Spf15 - Light, Budget Friendly, Some Zinc

I wanted to get my siblings to get in the habit of wearing spf every day. I wanted something with natural, physical spf like zinc but knew they wouldn't wear anything that had a greasy feel. I also wanted it to be something that was budget friendly since I wanted to be able to repurchase regularly. Since I really liked the foaming cleanser by this brand I decided to try the spf 15 moisturizer. This moisturizer felt so light and within minutes of application it felt like I had nothing on. My siblings liked this moisturizer too. My teenage brother didn't mind applying this lightly floral-scented, pink moisturizer on his face even after his evening shower. I like to use this as a cheaper alternative to my Oasis Apple a Day on days I like to exercise earlier, particularly if I'm going for an early morning jog and I know I'm going to wash my face afterwards and will have to reapply my spf moisturizer. It's comfortable if I'm going to exercise and doesn't get oily when I sweat. I think that since it comes with a user friendly pump and a cap to protect the nozzle makes it easy to travel with without arriving at your destination with spf moisturizer all over the insides of your bag. I also like that the pump bottle is dark to protect the ingredients. The only things I'm not to fond of is that the spf isn't higher and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and C12-15 alkyl benzoate are high on the ingredients list. But that hasn't stopped me from repurchasing this spf moisturizer four times. I would recommend this for those with oily skin or perhaps they just don't like the feel of a heavier spf moisturizer.

Tips: Every now and supermarkets or the Warehouse has sales on Essano and you can get this a bit cheaper. It's a great budget, friendly option for those on a tight budget and have oily skin. Also feels great if you need spf moisturizer on before than morning jog and want something that feels like you have nothing on or your regular spf is just too precious to apply twice a day.

Great

A natural moisturizer with SPF protection is hard to find so when I saw this on sale at countdown I had to try it. It was about $20 regularly but I got if for about $12. After using it for a couple of weeks I would easily pay full price for this,

It comes in a nice bottle with a pump applicators and the formula is nice and light with a rose tint to it. It also has a lovely smell which wasn't too strong or overpowering. The moisturizer absorbs well and provided me what my skin needs - I have oily, sensitive skin and it did not irritate me or cause more oil to be produced.

I'm very happy with this product and will purchase again mainly because of the bonus of an SPF and the fair price.

Not for dry skin

I purchased this as it was on special and I needed an spf based moisturiser. It does the job and is quick to absorb but it is not hydrating on my dry skin and is almost difficult to apply as it is so quick to absorb, resulting in me uncomfortably dragging my fingers across my skin. Will not repurchase.

Tips: Recommend for use on oily skin only.

Essano spf 15

I looove this moisturiser. It absorbs into your skin really well without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling on your face like some spf moisturisers. It's a great price, love how it's natural. The pump makes it super easy to use and you don't need a lot so lasts for ages. Highly reccomend this.

Tips: I use this on my hands in summer too

Love this Moisturiser!

I have been using the Essano Moisturiser Rosehip Spf15 for a while now, and I have come to the conclusion that I really like it! The moisturiser is gorgeous with a subtle feeling of luxury to it, and I love knowing that my skin is protected by such a lovely product.

Firstly the Essano range is cruelty free and made in NZ, yippee! I try to always by beauty products which don't harm the bunnies, so it was great to see that Essano is ethical as well as producers of nice products. This moisturiser comes in a lovely pump pot style bottle, and the cream itself is surprisingly thick for a day moisturiser. It still smooths into the skin easily though, and doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy or oily at all. I've found my makeup sits on this foundation no problem, and it also has a very subtle scent which is absolutely lovely.

Does everything a moisturiser should, with the benefit of looking lovely on my makeup table! :)

Not ideal for my oily skin

The moisturiser is packaged in a lightweight, dark brown plastic bottle with a pump nozzle, with a rose pink label. I love the packaging of the Essano products, and are drawn to them because they are crafted in New Zealand and certified organic. They also don't use some of the top harsh ingredients like parabens, chemical sulphites and others. I picked up this moisturiser at the grocery store because it has SPF15 in it and wanted to add it into my routine. It's so hard finding daily moisturisers with SPF!

The moisturiser has a silky, light weight consistency, and is a pink lotion. It applies and smooths easily on the skin and absorbs quickly. It has a light perfume-y type smell, but not offensive. I like that it promises hydration and protection, both of which I feel it does a good job of doing, however, after using this product for two weeks, my skin continued to break out. I tried it again a few months later, hoping for a different outcome and sadly it's just not ideal for my oily skin. It's a pass for me.
