essano Hydrating Rosehip Gentle Exfoliator

I use a lot of the Essano products and use the cleansing wipes and night cream in the evenings. However in the mornings I like to use this exfoliator in the shower to start the day off with nice and clean, fresh feeling skin. I find I only need a little for the face and neck and upper chest area and for the price it is a bargain. Plus it looks nice on the shower shelf next to the Essano shampoo/conditioner and body wash!!

I wouldn't consider this product as enough to be a scrub personally. It's so gentle that I felt like it wasn't doing much to exfoliate my skin properly when I used this as my only exfoliating product.

It's so creamy that it feels like putting a moisturiser on but with tiny rosehip granules. I thought it would be great for my dry skin because of this but my nose can be very dry and it was still flaking after using. There aren't enough granules throughout the scrub to do a proper job so you end up basically rubbing in a cream cleanser in some areas. I also didn't want to press the granules in too hard because they felt like they could scratch my skin.

Overall, I would not reccomend this as a main exfoliator (unless they were looking for a very light one), but maybe as a top up exfoliator on days when you weren't using your main one. I use exfoliating pads about twice a week and an light exfoliating toner on most days too.

I think it depends on your personal preferences if you'll like or no. For me it was way too gentle and I need to feel that my skin is cleaned, but this product doesn't give me that feeling. Otherwise smells nice and feels good on skin.

I feel like its more of a cream cleanser with a few bits of scrubby bits, its like 70% cream and 30% scrub, ok if your wanting something gentle but I was after more of a scrub

This product is nice enough but the "gentle exfoliation" is just a bit too gentle. It felt to me like more of a cream cleanser which is what I ended up using it for. It has a nice gentle scent and isn't harsh so would be ideal for those with sensitive skin

I have found the one my soul loves. 10/10 on TripAdvisor. I love this product fiercely, and it loves my face gently. I would happily use this product for the rest of my life, and that's saying a lot. I have sensitive skin and this exfoliator works a dream. It is cheap and lasts for ages (which my student loan says YES to). It smells like a grandma has met a seemly teenager and they have agreed on a scent that reflects them both. The smell makes me feel comfortable and ready for bed. Packaging is cute.

I initially purchased this product solely as I needed something small to fit in my toilet bag - this turned out to be arguably the BEST skincare purchase I've ever made, totally by chance!

Upon use you can really feel the product exfoliating your skin and removing dirt/oil; however, it's not harsh at all like many other exfoliating products. Additionally, only a minimal amount of product is required to achieve a deep cleanse. The rosy scent is also relatively minimal which is particularly nice seeing as the product is used on your face, where those scents can become quite overpowering.

I have very dry skin and often after washing my face my skin becomes rough, tight and uncomfortable very quickly. However, this product left my skin feeling incredibly soft which was quite impressive given its thorough exfoliating effects.

Couldn't recommend more highly if you're after an exfoliating product which still leaves your skin soft. The only downside is the price - at around $12 you don't get a huge amount of product for the money and if I can find a cheaper alternative I'd probably switch but it'd have to be VERY good to match this!!

I use this exfoliator regularly as it is what it says on the packaging - gentle. It does leave my face feeling nice but sometimes I may need something stronger. This is soft enough to use often!
