essano Hydrating Rosehip Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

Well I couldn’t make it past the smell of this product. I don’t know what it is that is in it that make it smell but it reminds me of a burned match stick. In fact so much so I mixed in some essential oils to ameliorate the smell.

Now anyone that knows me knows I’m not a fan of strong scents but really this was a surprise. I opened it a couple of months ago and the first time I used it I thought it was odd. Then I went to use it more recently and it reminded me of the same thing so I don’t think it’s an issue with the freshness of the product. I just don’t like the smell, so it’s a subjective thing.

I use it on my hands and arms at night now and it does do the job but I don’t find it as moisturising as say the Plantae Rosehip Fruit and Seed Serum that I use on my face at night as a skin treatment. I was hoping to use the Essano for that purpose when I brought it but to me it doesn’t cut the grain. Other people love it though - and that’s a good thing!

This was a little too much on my skin, which is strange because my skin generally loves oils. It did not soak into my skin at all, however it did add a little something extra when I mixed it in with my night cream. I honestly didn't notice any benefits, but there also weren't any negative side effects.

This product is presented in a nice glass bottle with a dropper. I found this oil to be a bit thicker than other ones I have used and had quite a strong smell which I didn’t like. Whilst it is easy to apply, I didn’t find that it absorbed into my skin as well as another brand I have used and it also felt a bit heavy and greasy.

I’m not sure that it minimised the appearance of fine lines around my eyes but they didn’t look any worse either. Despite the greasiness, I feel it still hydrated my skin but it took a while to absorb, and it didn’t work that well with putting moisturiser on afterward which I like to do to kee

i was given a bottle of this from a friend for a birthday, as she knew i liked my oils and thought i might like to give this one a go. i had seen it in store but hadn't really given it a second thought, as most essano skin care products make my skin misbehave.

i love oils that come with droppers, they just seem so much fancier than a pump, so that was a huge win for me. i also thought the size of the bottle was pretty good too, and i found out it came in a bigger size which was great.

the oil itself was nice enough, nothing like trilogy's rosehip which i am accustomed to and prefer, but it was nice. it felt heavier than trilogy and i didn't think it absorbed as fast. the one thing i truly despised though was the smell. R A N K. didn't like it and i put off using it because of the smell. it lingered for much longer than i would have liked and i just hated it. in the end i gave the bottle away because i couldn't deal with the smell anymore.

this oil didn't make my skin breakout as much, but there were a few tiny dots here and there. i tried to like you but i just couldn't :'(

I'm not too sure on this one. I used it morning and night after my cleanser but my skin just felt really oily (i understand its an oil) but it didn't feel as though it soaked in and my skin did not seem to change at all ..I guess its good it did not break me out but I wont repurchase it, I'm sure there's something else out there for me

I really don't like this product, as I found it hard to soak into my skin, and it made me break out (which is not a normal thing for me). It did nothing for uneven skin tone, or scars, it literally did the opposite (I got scars from the pimples it caused). Will literally never use again and warn my friends and family against.

Bought this , used it for three times then I stopped I didn't like it at all made my sick feeling so oily and also started to breakout even more

I really wanted this product to work on my skin but I do find it too heavy. After a week of daily use I started to break out. I’ve still got the bottle and will use occasionally on a lazy night but I wouldn’t purchase again. I have used Evolu Rosehip oil in the past and found that both a better texture and smell.

I do use cleansing oils on my combination skin and have no problems with them.

A very accessible price however and available widely at the supermarket. I’m sure it does suit other skin types - just not mine.

I have combination-oily skin that is prone to adult cystic acne. I'm in my mid-thirties so am looking for anti-aging benefits as well. I read a lit about the benefits of rosehip oil and was very keen to give it s try. I used this in conjunction with the essano rosehip cleanser and their toner. I used the system for about 3 weeks and found the results were underwhelming. The packaging is lovely and I live that it's an NZ company but the product did very little for my skin. It didnt make me break out any more but it didn't aid in reducing breakouts either. My skin didnt feel particularly nice while using the oil and I didn't notice any improvement in the appearance of my skin. My skin is very troublesome though so its hard to find products that work.
