essano Hydrating Rosehip Gel Foaming Cleanser

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.

I decided to try a new range and thought the Essano sounded like it would be just the kind of cleanser I needed. I wanted something natural, and I've heard such incredible things about Rosehip. The pump bottle is fantastic for dispensing, however it can be a bit of a nuisance when you get to the end of the bottle and want to get the last of the product out. I liked how gentle the cleanser was on my skin, and it didn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight like some others can. The downside though was it didn't remove all my makeup, I found I needed to cleanse a couple of times on the full-face makeup days. And I'm not sure 'foaming' should be in the product description - I didn't ever really get a foam from it at all.

Overall a fairly nice product, but pretty middle of the range in my opinion

I got the treat your skin pack on special for $20.00 from Countdown which included cleanser, rosehip oil, moisturiser, body lotion & night cream. Perfect sizes for holiday travel, not to mention you can try these before deciding on the full-size versions. I wet my face first, applied a small amount of cleanser, avoiding my eyes, which are sensitive. I used my Nivea deep cleansing facial kit which comes free from Farmers when you spend $25.00 or more on Nivea products. Its got 2 brush & 2 foam attachments, I used the soft brush attachment to get the cleanser into my skin. Anyway, it left my skin feeling clean & also soft & smooth & I would definitely recommend this cleanser.

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 :)

I have very dehydrated skin at the moment and I bought this product in hope that it would hydrate my skin and provide my skin with extra moisture and nourishment . I have trialled this cleanser for about a month and it has done nothing for my skin , after cleansing my skin feels tight and stripped of any moisture it had, my skin also broke out a lot whilst using this product which was really strange. I tried to give this cleanser time to see if it would do what it says but I've ended up pushing it to the back of my cupboard and never using it .

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.

I really like this cleanser!

It comes in a pump bottle which I find super convenient – I hate having to unscrew bottles etc when doing my routine.

For a ‘natural’ product it smells delicious! I am not normally a fan of the ‘natural’ smelling products so this sweeter scent is a great change in my opinion. I honestly can’t stop smelling it as I wash my face.

My skin is sensitive dry-combination and I find this formula just right. It doesn’t strip my face of moisture, is gentle, but it does actually clean it well. I had no irritation at all.

It doesn’t fully remove my waterproof mascara, so I still have to remove that separately (not a biggie for me though).

A little goes a long way - I received 2 x 30ml samples in a subscription box and I have been using it for the longest time.

Easy and convenient to purchase, just from your local Countdown. The $13.99 price for 140mls is great considering how long it lasts!

I have just repurchased this one as I liked my first bottle so much. I initially received a sample of it and have continued using it since last year.

I think what I like so much about this one is that it it's very gentle but still leaves my skin feeling clean. I find a lot of cleansers can leave my face feeling tight and dry afterwards, but I have not had any issues with this one. It has quite a thick gel consistency and lathers up nicely. The pump top bottle is handy for the shower althought the downside of that is that it's normally hard to get to the remaining product at the end of the bottle.

I wasn't sold on the scent initially. The first Essano product I tried was the body lotion (which smells amazing) and I was taken aback at first that they did not have the same fragrance. This one is a lot more delicate and unobtrusive though, and it has grown on me over time.

I have noticed on the odd forgetful occasion that it's not the best at removing heavy eye makeup. I normally use a separate product to remove it before I cleanse anyway, so this is not a dealbreaker for me.

Overall I feel like this is a great product and reasonably priced.

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.

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.
