Lovely and gentle

I like this cleanser. It's not the best i've used and doesn't really remove makeup BUT if you use it as your second cleanser after an oil or balm cleanse thats where the magic really happens.

I usually just my DHC oil cleanser to remove any makeup or dirt on my face then I'll follow up with this. It manages to clean anything else left on my face without stripping it (an issue when you have combo skin leaning towards dry)

I'm also admittedly not a fan of the scent. It's not terrible I just don't particularly think it's amazing but that being said it's a good affordable cleanser if you are in need of something.

Not my favourite

I liked the fact that this cleanser was more natural and didn't contain nasty chemicals but I'm not a huge fan of foaming cleansers. I much prefer cream cleansers and felt like I needed quite a bit of cleanser to actually clean my face. It has a light fragrance, which is pleasant but it left my face feeling a little dry. I really like some of the other Essano products but probably wouldn't use this one again.

I'm a convert and I'm never going back Part 2

This is the other half of the cornerstone of my beauty regime. I have a skin condition which requires me to vigilantly keep my skins moisture content and use very mild soaps that will not dry it out while trying to keep my skin clean. I first stumbled across this while on holiday at my sister in laws place, due to my skin issues I noted down the name of it, went home and did my research to double check some ingredients, then went back to the supermarket and purchased the Essano range in its entirety and I have never looked back. For the first time in my life since I was a child I have good skin. I loved what this has done for me so much after I raved about it on Facebook a friend of mine who is a beauty blogger asked me to write a review for her site to which I happily obliged and even Essano shared it on their Facebook page, sufficed to say I adore this product. In the case of this cleanser a little goes a long way, just like its matching moisturiser. I use these together and have felt a wonderful improvement in my skin. I have stopped overproducing oils on my face and has calmed immensely which I put down to using a mild cleanser that does not aggravate my temperamental skin. Using it in conjunction with its companion facial and body moisturisers I am left with a wonderful rose scent, which often means I can skip the need for perfume in the morning and save them for going out. I love to use organic products and this brand has gone the extra mile for theirs, they are vegan friendly, no parabens or sulphates, not tested on animals, and have an Ecocert certification (you might need to google that one but basically you have to go through a lot of hoops successfully to get one based on the production method used)

Tips: I'm one for natural based products so once a week I will add a pinch of baking soda to it to help soften my skin and lightly exfoliate it. I know some people have issues with baking soda being on their skin (which I find odd given its a main ingredient in almost every scrub i can think of) but using it this way has had no ill effects for me and helps to clear the dead skin from my face without having to scrub at it harshly.

Essano cleanser

I was lucky enough to be selected to review this product free of charge from beauty review. This product is a gentle foaming facial cleanser containing rosehip oil and aloe Vera. The scent of this product is so beautiful!! That’s my ultimate favourite thing about this product is how nice is smells. I love the fact that it’s New Zealand made and has no parabens, sulphates, silicones, phthalates, ethoxylates, PEGs, PPGs, mineral oils, GMOs and no animal testing yay!!! The texture is a clear gel type formula and even tho it say foaming it never foamed at all for me. That doesn’t bother me though. I always wear a lot of make up so this was the perfect test on me. I think it removes makeup very well and leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh. I didn’t use it on my eye area though as I wasn’t sure about wether that would be ok as it doesn’t say on the bottle. Over all a great cleanser and I’d use again for sure. Beautiful packaging too!!!

Loved this cleanser

I brought this from the supermarket after yet again running out of my normal cleanser that I purchase online.

I know that rosehip is good for your skin and so thought that this would be awesome, I was right, it was lovely in fragrance nothing overpowering, the texture was spot on not too watery nor too thick that would prevent it easily being pumped out of the bottle.

Design wise it sat nicely on my vanity sink, just right and the pump was easy to use, especially with wet hands. Cleansing action was divine, almost squeaked afterwards, it made my skin feel soft and look brighter, and didn't aggravate me nor set off my weird combi skin swing to the dry side. Overall a solid good everyday cleanser that is good value for money and easy accessible.

Gently cleansing with rosehip benefits

I've been using this after trying it in my samplebar subscription, I've purchased the full size which is very generous for sizing. I really like the scent. The cleanser has a thick gel like consistency, and is easy to apply. I do need to make sure when washing it off, that it is properly rinsed off, as it is thick. It gently removes eye makeup as well.

Okay product

I bought this product because of the rosehip. However, i found it just dried my skin out so wasn't too happy with it.

New face wash, finally

I have been using the Cetaphil Cleanser for about two years now and absolutely loved it. However, around a month ago I can across the Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser and I haven't looked back! I love how it's an organic natural brand that is accessible in supermarkets and not a bad price. The smell of the product isn't the nicest as it's natural but it is bearable and you get used to it. There is a pump so you can chose the amount that you use and it comes out in a thick gel consistency (like aloe vera gel) then you lather it up on your hands and apply to your face. It feels very soothing and refreshing on the skin and a little bit goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling very clean and soft. It is hydrating however I do recommend following up with a moisturizer to lock in and add extra moisture.

Top Notch Foaming Cleanser

I have looked at this product on my supermarket shelf with the intention of trying it due to the natural products and ready availability at the supermarket. I liked the convenience of the pump bottle for easy quick use in the shower. The product is nourishing and soothing, it left my skin feeling nicely cleansed.

Tips: This product is great for the shower shelf with the handy pump style packaging.

I adore this cleanser!

Essano Rosehip Gentle Foaming Cleanser is my favourite cleanser. The gel has a beautiful texture and just two pumps massaged into the skin dissolves my long lasting makeup. It is really effective at removing my layers of waterproof mascara, yet is gentle enough not to irritate my sensitive eyes. I also like how I don't need to use a separate eye makeup remover.

Tips: Always double cleanse as the first cleanse removes makeup and the second cleanse cleans the skin.
