Rosehip Gentle Facial Cleansing Micellar Water Reviews

I bought Essano Rosehip Gentle Facial Cleansing Micellar Water for the purpose of removing eye makeup. I bought this brand of micellar water because it contains a plant-derived and biodegradable surfactant (cleaning agent). I’m not a fan of mainstream micellar waters because they usually contain more synthetic chemicals.

Essano Rosehip Gentle Facial Cleansing Micellar Water has a very soapy or foamy formula. The micellar water removed non-waterproof mascara, but it was unable to remove waterproof mascara. Although the micellar water removed non-waterproof mascara, the removal process was longer compared to when I’ve used an eye makeup remover. The micellar water removed long-wearing brow pomade, but it took about five passes with a cotton makeup round pad before the pads were clean.

I tested Essano Rosehip Gentle Facial Cleansing Micellar Water to see how well it removed liquid foundation. The micellar water did an average job for this purpose, but it wasn’t as effective as a natural-based creamy cleanser. After using the micellar water, I used an aromatherapy toner to see how much makeup residue was on the pads, and there was more makeup than usual on the pads. After using the micellar water on my face for a few nights in a row, I looked in my makeup mirror and I saw clogged pores on my chin. I have dry and mature skin, and I’ve only seen clogged pores a few times – specifically when I’ve introduced a new skin care product that my face didn’t like.

When I saw the clogged pores, I stopped using the micellar water, and the pores cleared up. I used the rest of the micellar water for cleaning makeup brushes and blending sponges.

I'm a fan of micellar waters however this one left a film on my skin after use, which was especially a concern when I used it to remove eye makeup. It was also very foamy inside the bottle and it felt like the foam created an almost soapy layer on my skin after application. I could smell a distinct coconut smell too and for me micellar waters have no need to be fragranced.

I love to buy natural products when i can and this is one of them. Slight smell of rose feels indulgent. I used to use Swisse micellar water but found this one much better. The packaging is pretty but most importantly, it works. Easily removes any kind of makeup, including eye makeup and suitable for even sensitive skin. Feels gentle and refreshing. Can also use as a toner. Amazing to see what dirt this can pull off your face even after cleansing. It's cheap, natural and it works!

I picked this up at Priceline just to give it a go when my Garnier one with the yellow oil ran out. I have been looking for a micellar water that I don't have to shake to mix the oil that will remove waterproof makeup without leaving an oily residue on my face forever. The sales assistants at Priceline said on numerous occasions that a product like this does not exist. It does! Its this!

This stuff is amazing! It takes off waterproof eyeliner and mascara in one swipe. It is now my holy grail makeup remover! I will never go back to the oil mixes! It's so gentle on the skin and leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturised!

I finally decided to jump on the Micella water band wagon after seeing it on the market for a few months.

This brand in particular was on sale at my local woolworths and I love rose hip so I was instantly drawn to it.

I wear estee lauder double wear foundation and this product manages to easily get that foundation off of my face. My favourite face scrub can barely do that.

It is non irritating to the eyes, has no scent and contains organic ingredients. It is also vegan which is always a bonus in beauty products.

My skin afterwards is clean and so far it hasn't altered how my skin feels.

I picked this up on sale last week at Priceline as I had almost finished my current micellar water (the Swisse one). I find this one so much nicer! The Swisse one left my face feeling dry and I couldn't use it on my eyes as it stung them. I find the Essano product to be much gentler, leaving my skin feeling soft, refreshed and hydrated. It does not sting my eyes so I use it to remove eyeshadow but need a separate eye makeup remover to remove waterproof mascara. I find this micellar water feels quite similar to the garner one, however I much prefer the ingredients in this one and would definitely repurchase it

I finished my bottle of Rosehip by Essano Micellar Water. It cost around $13 from my local Woolworths supermarket. It is a great product, especially for me being prone to irritation due to sensitive skin. The rosehip in the cleansing water also leaves your skin feeling hydrated and as well as helped to repair my skin from sun damages.

It is a great product but I have used other makeup removing waters that are also good. I prefer to use Rosehip oil and put that directly onto my skin but this is none the less an excellent product.
