essano Vitamin C Brightening Polishing Scrub Reviews

I love Essano hair products so I saw this product on offer, so I thought I'd give it a go. I always need a scrub, I love to scrub my face at least once a week if not twice. I feel like if I don't scrub my face I get really annoying flaky skin around my nose especially. I love that this product is all natural so I am all for it. It has a lovely smell, but my issue with this product was I didn't feel that it scrubbed my face much. It's very much for a gentle scrub so I didn't feel much of an effect from the product. I didn't it was anything special, and that I'd go buy it again. It was worth trying it, and discovering it. It's not terrible it just didn't do what I wanted it to for my face, it wasn't strong enough for me. I did feel it helped a little with brightening my skin, but nothing major or amazing. I would recommend this product for a gentle scrub.

This scrub came in a pack with other Essano Vitamin C products and has the same cute pink packaging. It comes in a bottle with a screw top, which is an interesting choice for a scrub. I'd rather it came in a tube.

The product seems to be the exact same product as the cleansing gel but with something similar to the texture of refined sugar. It reminds me of a much more expensive polishing gel that I also loved. It smells gorgeous.

I love using it as it doesn't irritate or 'drag' on my skin and my skin does look bright and clean after using it. I particularly like using it to wash off make up as it is easy to get rid of every trace.

Another great product from Essano that I would recommend to anyone.

I love essano products but I really don’t like the feeling of this on my skin, I find it drys my skin out and makes my face a little red. It could be my skin type that’s the issue. I just found it didn’t help at all

This makes my skin feel amazing. I notice after I use it my skin looks better and healthier. Smells amazing too. would highly recommend

This is one of my favourite products, polishes your skin leaving it clean bright and sparkingly smooth. Gentle enough to use every day (which I do), I found this product helps with breakouts and keeps my skin clean and clear. If my skin feels tired and I need a pick me up I will clean it and vitamin c polish before a serum.

This scrub is gorgeous! I love the smell, the texture, and the way it leaves my skin feeling, so clean, and fresh. I am using more and more essano products now and the Vitamin C range is worth trying if you haven’t already.

I've recently got really into vitamin C, so when I needed a new scrub this naturally caught my eye.

As a long time user of Essano products, this fitted the usual brief with it's pink packaging and natural ingredients.

I also love that Essano products are New Zealand made.

Where this product differed was that it didn't have the rosehip scent I've long come to associate with the brand. And it was refreshing.

As for the scrub itself, an it's an ideal facial scrub as it's very gentle on the skin. It also makes it ideal for every day skin maintenance.

If you're looking for a deep invigorating scrub however, you may find it a little gentle.

I don’t buy a lot of essano brand but have been using this scrub weekly for about a year and I absolutely love the orange scent. In the ingredient list fragrance is quite low down but it’s very prominent. It reminds me of essential oils that you smell at a salon. The gel is clear but with a slightly orangey tint and the scrubbing grains are very small like fine white sand but smaller grains than at the beach. I use about a 20c piece amount after my normal cleanser in the shower and massage all over for 30 seconds or so, especially around my nose that can get congested. The bottle says it can be used daily but I wouldn’t feel comfortable exfoliating every day. Also in the ingredient list are pineapple and other fruit extracts so they’ve decided to add in some enzymes to help with removing dead skin cells. My skin definitely feels smoother after using the scrub but I’ll still reach for other forms of exfoliating on top of this. Whilst I’m never sure if scrubs really work over chemical exfoliators everyone seems to keep buying them if you look at the supermarket shelves there’s a huge range. I’d recommend this one to anyone purely for the scent and I will buy this again.

I picked this up in the Beauty Vault, thanks BR. It comes in the standard Essano packaging  which I find appealing.  A simple flip top lid and easy to squeeze bottle so you can get out the perfect amount.

It is a thick gel consistency and it smells great, very citrusy which I find uplifting in the morning. It has a very fine grit and does a great job at buffing dry skin away.

It leaves my skin feeling super soft and silky but I make sure to use a good moisturiser afterwards as I feel it could be a little drying. It doesn't break me out at all thankfully. I would buy this again.

This came in a sample pack that I purchased. Bought it because there are not many vitamin c products at the convenient stores (i.e supermarket) and wanted to try it. The beads are very fine and lathers well on skin when applied. I have combination skin and it left my skin feeling clean but dry most of the time. I have not noticed much of a difference in my skin after using this product at all. However would recommend buying the sample pack first to see if this is good for your skin/see how it reacts.
