essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

After reading reviews on here about the moisturiser, I decided I'd give it a go, but mistakingly bought the oil whilst being distracted with a very busy 2 year old! Best mistake ever!

I have dry sensitive skin on my face, which is prone to pigmentation and scaly patches. My body is also very dry but not sensitive. I have been able to apply this to my whole face and body without any reaction which is fab!

The bottle comes with a little dropper, which is handy because you really don't need much and this makes it easier to get a small amount. I'm not crazy about the smell, but thats mainly because it actually smells like oil, rather than being heavily fragranced. After two weeks of using this product (daily for the first week, then only twice during the second) my skin is soft and supple, not even remotely dry, less patchy, more evenly coloured, and I have even noticed a tiny difference in my fine lines! I also have those red dot things on the backs of my arms, and they have improved massively! I was surprised how quickly it absorbed, and within ten or so minutes, there was no residue or oiliness left on my skin.

I absolutely recommend this product - it is very reasonably priced, and easy to find in most supermarkets. Give it a go!

After seeing people rave about the Essano range i decided to go pick some up myself, they are reasonably priced at countdown for around $18-$20.

The rosehip oil is amaze!! its a thick consistency for a oil and super hydrating on the skin, and it does as it claims. After having a baby 3 months ago i have some slight stretch marks on my tummy, i had been using the essano rosehip oil on them and they are practically gone now!

will most likly be repurchasing this when my bottle runs out, & recommending to friends/family

My skin is fairly normal, with a tendency towards drier patches around my nose and chin, and some redness around my nose/general uneven skintone.

This is the first time I've used rosehip oil, and I'm a total convert! I purchased this in the Essano trial pack, and have just run out (the trial size bottle lasted me about 5 weeks, using it once per day).

The packing is great, particularly the dropper, preventing wasting or spilling the oil, plus it looks very cue with the muted brown/pink colour scheme!

The actual oil is lightweight, and a little goes a long way: 3 drops is enough for my whole face. It absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft. I've been using it at night and following up with the matching Essano night cream, but even on its own it provides enough moisture.

I found the smell a bit surprising - it's not a particularly "rose" scent, like the moisturiser and facewash in this range, but rather has almost a nutty oil smell. It's quite subtle and fades quickly after being applied, so it doesn't bother me.

In terms of effects, this has been amazing. My skin tone has been evening out slowly but surely, and even a bit of spot scarring I have has been reduced slightly. It hasn't transformed my skin instantly, but it definitely has been helping and I have seen an improvement! The best part for me has been the disappearance of dry patches. Now when I apply makeup it doesn't cake or flake around those areas (you ladies with dry skin will know what I mean!). It really does leave my skin looking happy! I also feel like I have had fewer breakouts since using this.

I will definitely be repurchasing rosehip oil, and quite possibly this brand, given that it is relatively inexpensive and easy to find. (I am about to try a Trilogy sample though, so we will have to see). But overall, I love this and would highly recommend!

This is an extremely affordable dupe for the much loved and popular Trilogy Rosehip oil ! I have been using trilogy's rosehip oil for over one and a half years now and when I tested Essano's rosehip oil out I noticed no difference ! The formulas are pretty much the same. I recommend using the oil at night as a moisturizer right after you have washed your face. I think the oil is really good for facing scars and evening out skin tone. For a super hydration kick also use the essano night creme which is super good.

I purchased the full trial size set and was very pleased I did! The Rosehip Oil is my favourite. I apply it every night before I go to bed and wake up to silky smooth skin. I will continue to buy this oil!

I must admit I had reservations about using this product when I first bought it, as I was hesitant of causing more pimples in the oily parts of my skin. However I was very pleased indeed!

I used the oil at night after toning and before my night cream. Results wise I definitely felt like my skin was more glowing in the mornings and overall had a positive effect. And I didn't see any noticable change in the acne department which is great! I also used this product my my neck and chest which worked a dream.

Would I buy this again? Probably. However it may be a bit too rich for my every day use on my face, especially coming into summer. BUT I will probably keep a bottle handy for dry days.

I got the little 3ml bottle in the trial pack which I purchased from Countdown, it lasted for ages, you only need a few drops for your face. It compares really well to the Trilogy Rosehip Oil, I didn't notice much difference. If you get the full size bottle from Countdown on special, it works out cheaper. My face was noticeably smoother & softer, it's good for fine lines & also rough skin on your body as well.

I got a little trial size of this with my online grocery shopping and fell in love with it. I have since bought a full size and I am loving the results. I put it on at night before bed on my face and on my belly (pregnant) So far no stretch marks and I am due next week. I have bad scarring on my face from teenage acne and find that it has taken a lot of the redness out and my skin is smoother. It also makes applying foundation the next morning much smoother too. Another huge benefit is I am not finding it oily on my face. WIN!

I'd never used Rosehip Oil before, so Essano Rosehip Oil was my first and to be honest, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. When I thought of Rosehip Oil, I thought of something pleasant-smelling and possibly rose-scented ... I understand that this is apparently a very common misconception!

Having no idea of what to expect, I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the bottle that I'd bought and that I’d received old stock past its expiry date and ended up with rancid oil. But, this was not so! After a bit of research, I found out that the smell of Rosehip Oil varies from person to person depending on your nose. To some people it has a warm, earthly smell, while to others it can smell quite fishy.

Unfortunately, I am one of those who fall into the "fishy" category. I had already massaged a few drops onto my face after showering and had applied my moisturiser on top, per the instructions on the bottle. Initially I didn't think too much of the smell, washed my hands and went to relax for a while before going to bed. Every now and then I got a whiff of this strong fishy smell. I hunted all over for the source of the smell; looking in the kitchen, sniffing the air outside thinking that maybe one of our neighbours was cooking fish, even checking the cat’s food bowl to see if I’d forgotten to wash it, but I couldn't find the source! An hour went by and I could still smell it! It was only then that I wondered if it could be the Rosehip Oil and went to sniff the bottle.

After that experience, I only applied the oil directly before going to bed and didn't reapply it in the morning! The smell aside, it did leave my skin feeling soft, nourished and hydrated. It was easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue. Even though I do have oily skin, it is often a little dehydrated and by applying my moisturiser on top of the oil, it assisted in helping my skin to absorb and retain more of the nourishing and moisturising properties (oil needs water to be absorbed into the skin and most moisturisers are water based).

This oil is fantastic and affordable. I much prefer this to Trilogy. I use a bit more than they recommend in the evenings so it makes my skin super soft and dewey when I wake up in the mornings. As with the reviewer below me, it also smells a bit fishy to me!
