essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

A little goes a long way and it works great on dry skin. Takes a while to absorb and stop looking greasy so I use it in the evenings before bed.

I started using Rosehip Oil in the last couple of years and I love how it makes my skin feel. Essano is one of my favourites as it's affordable and readily available from the supermarket. I found using it made my skin brighter and minimised the appearance of my sun spots. A little bit goes a long way and I will definitely use this product again in the future.

Essano Certified Organic Rosehip Oil is a lightly scented and light in texture oil. I use it on my face and neck and three drops are enough as it spreads very well and absorbs into the skin. I use this oil at night, mainly during winter when my skin needs extra nourishment and I wake up with beautifully hydrated and glowing skin.

I received a bottle of this in a giveaway long ago. Unfortunately I didn't check the bottle and recently went I pulled it out to use it the dropper top at come apart and it was leaking. Luckily I had finished up another serum that comes in a dropper bottle so I managed to salvage what was left, about a third to a quarter of the bottle, and decant it into the other dropper bottle. I must've gotten a faulty bottle so I can't really comment on the packaging since I didn't use it. The rosehip and acai oil is really nice and light. Like the rosehip oils I have tried in the past this one sinks in and my skin drinks it up. I used to layer on my moisturizer straight after my facial oil but I am giving the oils more time to soak in these days. I haven't had any breakouts as a result of using this and my skin stays nicely moisturized and gets that glow that I get from facial oils. One thing that I do really like about this brand of rosehip oil is that to me it smells better than the bottle of plain Trilogy rosehip oil, but then this is mixed with acai oil so that probably takes away from the slightly fishy smell of just rosehip. That being said I haven't seen my skin get brighter from using this but then I only got one month's use out of what was salvaged, so it'd probably take longer to see results. But while I was using it did soften my fine lines like most facial oils will. It's a good rosehip oil it's just not outstanding because I've seen more facial brightening from other brands or other brands of facial oil have been absorbed my skin much quicker.

I have combination skin, dry on the cheeks/chin and normal to oily everywhere else. The oil helps a lot on the normal/oily bits but I found it just sits on the dry skin and doesn't do much, even when I have exfoliated. My Dad loves this stuff, he uses it to treat his psoriasis.

I received a bottle of this when I was pregnant with my second baby and was so thankful! I ended up going through two by the time I gave birth. I used it whenever I had a shower or when my baby bump felt itchy. It was so soothing and made my skin feel soft. I did find this particular brand to be a bit unpleasant in smell, possibly because I was pregnant so extra sensitive to smell at the time. I also found it to be a bit thicker than other brands that I’ve tried but once massaged into the skin it was fine, no greasy residue. I also used it on my face and neck, I loved the way it kept my skin feeling healthy.

It comes in lovely packaging and a nice glass bottle. It's a really affordable brand and made in NZ which I like.

You only need a small amount and then gently rub into your face and neck otherwise it can be quite greasy. I didn't overly like the smell, it hydrated my skin but wasn't wow for it. It's a really nice affordable alternative but I'll stick with my usual.

I liked how this applied to my skin and it helped with suppleness and stretching in pregnancy. It does stain fabric though.

I am a big fan of Rosehip oil, it is a wonder ingredient. I also love the fact Essano is available in the supermarket. However the price of Essano Rosehip Oil is comparable to other brands like Evolu and Trilogy. (Essano is cheaper, but considering how long the product lasts it's not a price difference that would make your decision) The product itself is rather 'sticky' on the skin, not something I had ever experienced with other brands of Rosehip Oil. At the end of the day my skin felt sticky, like it does on days I wear sunscreen. As such, I do not consider this the best option on the market. However if this is all your budget extends to or you are unable to/can't be bothered getting hold of a different brand, get this one because rosehip oil is something everyone needs in their life!
