essano Hydrating Rosehip Gentle Exfoliator

I brought this at the same time as buying a large bottle of their Rosehip body lotion and a bottle of the Rosehip Oil and to be perfectly honest I don't really care for either of the first two products and I haven’t come to a conclusion about the third.

I have noticed that they seem to have a kind of artificial scent, not like you would expect from a natural organic product but maybe that’s just personal preference.

I also find it doesn't have enough of the exfoliating granules to do the job well although I must say the skin does feel soft after use. I just prefer exfoliators that are a bit more effective than this one in that respect but maybe I need to use more of the product than I have been.

I purchased it from the supermarket and was impressed with the price though. For an organic brand they are very competitively priced and easy to source as they are down at the local Countdown. I was tempted to buy the cleanser but went for a different brand instead.

I really really liked this product. It wasn't as harsh as I was expecting, so really gentle on the skin. Upon washing off I was left with very very soft skin that seemed to be drinking in all the nutrients. Felt very moisturised afterwards and not oily. Would definetly use again and being able to purchase from the supermarket is a added bonus :)

I really enjoyed using this product. Afer usuing it once a day for five days i found my skin feeling really smooth, it looked brighter and well moisturised. it also did a good job at removing my make up. It smells, nice and has small exfoliating beads in it, I will keep using this product as my skin feels and looks great.

This is perfect for removing dirt and oil built up on my skin. I use it twice a week and it helps to smooth out and clean my skin leaving it feeling soft and looking clear. It's so gentle so it can be used on every skin type and won't cause irritation or redness to your skin. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry it still feels hydrated.

Essano Rosehip Exfoliator has very fine particles which makes it very gentle and non-irritating on my skin. I like to use this exfoliator in the shower and massage a small amount on to damp cleansed skin before rinsing off. The scent is pleasant due to its botanical extracts and is not overpowering. It is a really effective exfoliator that leaves my skin glowing and I like to use it once per week on "self-care Sunday".

When I review I try to always keep an open mind but unfortunately I am one of these visual people so the packaging and presenation of a product is important to me and usually my first impression is the lasting one. In this case I was pretty underwhelmed, the packaging didn't appeal (I'm more classical and than whimsical) and when I tried the product on my hand, the texture and smell was also unappealing. I feel a bit Meh about this product I didn't think it was a great exfoliator and it left me skin feeling clean but not feeling fabulous - I think I prefer more intense exfoliators and my age maybe the issue so to be fair I gave it to my 18 year old neice to try and get her thoughts and sure enough her review was quite different - she loved the look of the product, thought the smell and texture was awesome and really felt like her skin had been exfoliated - she is a fan. So while this product was not to my 46 year old taste it did appeal to a market (18 years old) that i think is more motivated by price and pretty packaging.

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.

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 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.

I love facial scrubs, and this one I found quite good.

It comes in a 100ml pink tube with a black flip lid. This is a good size to fit on your shower shelf.

I found this exfoliater to be quite gentle, which could be great for people with sensitivity. It has a gentle fragrance which is not overpowering.

After I used this in the shower my skin felt clean, soft and totally refreshed. I will continue to use this as I have had no adverse reactions.
