I've tried a lot of other (more expensive) face washers and this one is by far my favourite. Gritty enough to clean problem areas but gentle enough not to irritate my skin. I'm already on my third bottle, very convenient that I can buy it at the supermarket.

+ PROS: Doesn't irritate, cleans problem areas, easy to find in stores.

Does a great gentle exfoliation and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. I like the gritty texture as I felt like it really got into my problem areas around my nose and chin.

+ PROS: Great texture, good gentle exfoliation and washes off easily.

I loved this product. It was a bit too gritty like sand to begin with but you get used to it. Made my skin feel clean and smelt great too!

+ PROS: Clean,smooth face Good smell
- CONS: A little gritty

Lovely scrub that is gentle enough and smelled wonderful. It made my skin feel fresh afterwards. Around my eyes hurt when I got too near to them as I have sensitive skin and suffer with eczema so I have resorted to using it on my cheeks, chin, neck and chest only. I like how it has quite a bit of texture but not too much to hurt.

+ PROS: Easy to use bottle. Bottle stands well in shower (does not fall over). Gentle scrub, not too textured.
- CONS: My sensitive skin reacted to the wash and made my eyes burn so I could only use this on my cheeks & chin etc staying far away from forehead, eyes and nose.

Loved this product. Smells great and pretty soft and gentle but still leaves your skin feeling amazing.

+ PROS: Smells great Soft and gentle Effective
- CONS: Still made my skin break out a little I can’t use any scrubs for this reason. I would recommend to anyone who can though.

Cassie

Nice smelling and made my skin feel good for a few hours after. Was a little too rough on my skin and didn't help my sensitive skin but I also don't use products like this

Lynda

- 2021-12-07 12:17:17

Awesome face wash

+ PROS: Smells good Exfoliating beads aren’t to harsh

Tracy Porteous

- 2021-12-07 08:16:51

I loved this cream. My skin felt so soft and I could feel the difference instantly

+ PROS: Easy squeezable tube.
- CONS: Nil

Kylie Hollis

- 2021-08-31 19:03:15

I didn't like this, felt extremely drying, I had flaked dry skin around my nose and my mouth. My skin felt tight and sore. My skin is combo but not really dry or sensitive.

+ PROS: Smells good, exfoliation beads are really small
- CONS: Super drying, like, really really drying.

Debbie

- 2021-08-26 16:39:18

This gentle exfoliator can be used daily but I preferred to use it every 2-3 days except when having a breakout. I liked the mild-medium level perfume which didn't trigger my hayfever & the fine exfoliant felt refreshing without scratching or irritating my skin. Only had to use a tiny bit to do my entire face, neck & upper chest so this tube will last for a long time.

+ PROS: Gentle on sensitive skin Nice scent Refreshing A little goes a long way
- CONS: Condensation runs into the cap screw & tips cold water down your hand when picked up.

Emma Simpson

- 2021-08-25 15:22:03

This is a great product. A gentle exfoliator that can be used daily. Didn't irritate my skin at all, instead made my skin feel really nice. I feel like other face products get absorbed better when I use them after, and I feel like my makeup sits on my skin better. It has a pleasant subtle smell. I would definitely buy this again.

+ PROS: Can be used daily Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin Products go on well after Nice subtle smell

Cheyene Stackhouse

- 2021-08-25 15:00:48

Love this, perfect for me and my skin. No cons only pros

+ PROS: Best one yet Easy to use

Cherie

- 2021-08-25 14:44:46

Nice little scrub, not too abrasive, I liked the fruit extracts, smells nice, feels great afterwards too

+ PROS: Easy to use, have given to my teenage daughter telling her it’s super good. I said some Tiktok person uses it, I didn’t tell her it’s me.
- CONS: Nil

Paula

- 2021-08-25 11:00:23

This product actually does what it says it will do. The micro bits that do the exfoliating seemed too tiny to do any exfoliation but on my face they are the perfect size and gently exfoliate rather than sandpaper your skin like some scrubs do. Nice amount of foaming action while using. Loved the feel of this on my skin, love the smell and love love love my skin afterwards. I will happily continue to use this product from now on. I have never had a exfoliating scrub that works so well.

+ PROS: The smell is really nice. Applies nicely and removes easily. Really made my skin look clean and healthy. The look and size of the tube is great. Didn't need to use much each time.
- CONS: The price I thought was a bit expensive, but I guess not if you look at how much the others, that didn't work, cost me.

Newsweasel

- 2021-08-25 00:03:32

Gentle on the skin while exfoliating it well. The beads in the scrub are gentle, not rough. The scrub left my skin soft without irritation. A soft, fruity scent that's not overpowering. Definitely keen to buy this one again.

+ PROS: Gentle Brightening

Teresa

- 2021-08-24 23:34:53

My husband and I both loved this product, fresh scent, fine exfoliant, and does what it says on the label. A surefire repurchase for me.

+ PROS: Lovely citrus fresh start to the morning.
- CONS: Leaves skin a little dry, so has to be followed up with a good moisturizer. Not sure why they've put mica in? A scrub doesn't need a shimmer powder in it.

Megan

- 2021-08-24 19:59:37

ESSANO vitamin C facial scrub pleasantly suprised me. The look of the packaging really appeals to me. I also liked the colour and scent of the scrub. What really suprised me was that for a scrub thata so gentle it was extremely effective. It left my skin feeling thoroughly clean, soft and glowing. The company uses a lot of natural ingredients in their products, NZ made and they don't test on animals - three huge bonuses! using this in my skin care routine with the other essano products has greatly improved my skin.

+ PROS: - nice packaging - nice smell - nz made
- CONS: - a wee bit more expensive than other scrubs.

Shelley

- 2021-08-24 15:33:48

This was one of my favorite products from the Essano set. The scrub really feels like it is giving you a good clean without damaging your skin too harshly. Other scrubs I use have really big hard scrub particles in there but these were so micro you could hardly feel them...but you feel so clean at the same time. I will definitely be buying this product again.

+ PROS: Feels luxurious, smells great, does a great job as a scrub, very well priced.

Gretchen

- 2021-08-24 15:23:20

This had a light scent, and I could definitely feel the exfoliants. I found that my face was very sensitive to it however - it worked, but I didn't feel it was very brightening, and I wouldn't buy it again as a facial exfoliator. Once I stopped using it on my face however, I found it made a GREAT foot and elbow exfoliator in the shower - so it was definitely still put to good use.

+ PROS: Light scent Vegan No micro-plastic
- CONS: Irritated my skin and left it feeling very sensitive

Kelly

- 2021-08-24 14:40:00

Super scrub! So gentle but leaves skin exfoliated without any nasties, this has helped clear my pimples I had popping up due to hormones, good packaging and plenty of product as you don't need a lot to get the job done

+ PROS: Super gentle scrub, non drying
- CONS: Nothing!

karriesampson

This leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. I was using this one at night to scrub away the dust and dirt of the day (while using the cream cleanser in the mornings). Like with the cream cleanser, it felt like such a shame to pile on other creams when my skin felt so nice with this on! No red spots unlike with harsher exfoliants. Very nice to use.

+ PROS: Nice gentle cleanse Soft skin

Alex

- 2021-08-23 19:09:34

Great scrub, works a wonder, I tried a few scrub before and didn't notice anything after but after using the Essano polishing scrub, my skin felt really soft almost like a baby afterward!! kept touching my skin! It smell nice too like fruity.

+ PROS: super soft skin afterward smell nice packaging cute natural products animal cruelty free NZ owned and made not irritating
- CONS: none

Kylie Cooper

- 2021-08-23 18:12:33

I often find cleansing scrubs to be too grainy or gritty, often leaving my skin red, irritated and dry. This is absolutely the opposite to the experience I had with this Essano Face Scrub. I use this every 3rd day while showering, after using the Collagen Boost Cleanser, and it’s easy to apply and has much smaller particles which my skin is more suited to and makes it much more enjoyable. My skin feels great afterwards and areas of “concern” have an improvement in appearance, especially around the nose and forehead areas. Pleasantly scented and not to strong makes this a winner.

+ PROS: Nice texture and easily applied and rinsed. Noticeable difference in look and feel of skin. Works well on combination skin. Pleasant scent.

Darlene Bennett

- 2021-08-23 18:02:11

This product was great. It has a good smell. It’s gentle enough to use daily. I was amazed at how hydrated my skin felt. Non dry.

+ PROS: Great scent. Leaves skin hydrated. Very gentle for a scrub. Light.
- CONS: None I can find.

Doug

- 2021-08-23 17:58:46

In the past I have used exfoliants that contain large grit pieces, such as walnut shell, so I was prepared to be disappointed with this solution, which hardly seemed to be anything other than a cream. I was wrong, however. I got a refreshing, invigorating facial scrub. The scent was amazing - quite a change from the regular floral scents associated with other products in the range. Full of tropical fruit essences, it reminded me of being in Rarotonga ... I assume, as I have never been personally!

+ PROS: Creamy, sensitive formula. Effective exfoliant. Great tropical aroma.
- CONS: None.

Taryn

- 2021-08-23 17:21:09

Product was easy to use and came in a handy squeeze bottle. Although, keeping with the sustainable image and similar to their other products, I would have loved to see this come in a glass jar as well. I found that the exfoliant overall was gentle on the skin and not harsh like other products. The smell was also good and left you feeling nice and refreshed.

+ PROS: Smells nice New Zealand made Gentle on the skin
- CONS: Would be nice to see it come in a glass jar, similar to other Essano products

Michelle

- 2021-08-23 16:43:49

I have to say I love this product easy to use

+ PROS: Smells great and feels so good on skin i used morning and night
- CONS: Not quite gritty enough for me but still a great scrub

tonihickson

- 2021-08-22 15:36:45

It felt gentle on my skin, didn't leave it red or stinging as I have sensitive skin and usually exfoliaters are too harsh for me. Small amount goes along way so it is good value for money. Nice smell and gel texture, my skin did feel fresh & clean afterwards. I would prefer glass over plastic for packaging. Due to Mica being present in the product I wouldn't purchase in the future.

+ PROS: Nice smell Gentle on skin Little bit goes a long way Nz made Cruelty free Vegan friendly
- CONS: Mica in product. Plastic bottle.

Kate

- 2021-08-22 09:14:16

LOVE THIS! A new favourite for sure! This has tiny microbes that gently scrub away without hurting or harming your skin. It leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. I have ultra sensitive and clogged skin and have found this along with the use of other Essano products has helped alot to ease congestion.

+ PROS: Gentle yet very effective product. Price is GREAT for this product. Will be sure to never let this run out. A firm favourite.

Hannah Robinson

- 2021-08-21 12:06:19

I love the polishing scrub. I used it every second day and my skin instantly felt smoother. It didn't dry my skin out at all, a great way to start my skin care routine.

+ PROS: Smells amazing Gentle

Jordana

- 2021-08-20 13:45:56

This product is nice and gentle on the skin and leaves my face feeling nice and clean. It feels like I could use this product daily if I wanted to and it wouldn't strip my face of all of its natural oils. The product itself is a gel-like consistency with tiny micro-exfoliants which are almost naked to the eye. Great scrub in general. However, really not a fan of the scent, it's very fragrant-y which smells nice just not when it is on my face.

+ PROS: Value for money
- CONS: - Scent

Katrina

- 2021-08-19 15:34:00

Both myself and my husband loved this face scrub. It has a great scent, and leaves your skin feeling really clean and fresh. We found it far superior to other similar products we have tried in the past.

+ PROS: Great scent Exfoliates well Leaves your skin feeling really fresh
- CONS: None

Ali Lee

- 2021-08-19 11:53:04

My teenage son & I use this scrub. It smells nice, feels lovely, & leaves skin feeling clean and fresh

+ PROS: Cleans well, smells nice, reasonably priced & leaves skins feeling great
- CONS: Nil

Alex Connolly

- 2021-08-18 13:55:25

Absolutely loves this product, gentle and smells great but be nice in a glass jar to get it all out and a little more eco friendly.

+ PROS: Smells wonderful but not over powering, the natural scrub wasn’t too harsh and felt great on my skin. My acne was visibly reduced after a weeks usage. The price was great value I think.
- CONS: The bottle was fine to use and easy to apply but would like it in a jar like the high cream to use the whole product.

Teresa S

- 2021-08-16 21:42:57

This is probably my favourite of the Essano products I've trialled: non drying, light exfoliation with a lovely citrus scent. It's a great addition to my morning skincare routine.

+ PROS: Not too intense/microfoliant makes it great for everyday use.
- CONS: Mica content: it's not really necessary to have a shimmer effect ingredient in a facial scrub which purports to be 'natural' and goes down the drain anyway.

Melissa Rutten-Drummond

- 2021-08-16 21:03:07

My favourite Essano product to date! I have been using it daily in the shower. As a busy mum to three young boys, it’s usual for me to slap products on my face without paying to much attention to what I’m doing. I have loved using the Essano Vitamin C Polishing Scrub as part of my daily routine. I adore the seamless packaging and that the products actually work together! I found the Essano Vitamin C Polishing Scrub to be pleasant smelling and gentle but strong enough that it feels like it’s working. I have had no breakouts, which usually happens to some degree when changing products. The price point is fabulous and this will be a continuous product for me.

+ PROS: - Gentle but effective exfoliants that you can feel working their magic! - Great scent. - Fantastic price point. - Works well within a routine alongside the other Essano products. - Seamless packaging. - Great consistency. - A little goes a long way.
- CONS: - No cons with this product as it hit the mark!

Veronica Donaldson

- 2021-08-16 14:57:35

This is a great product. More gentle than the scrub I was using yet it still gives that nice well cleaned tighter skin feel that I like. Nice fresh smell and it went a long way so you don't need to use much. I needed a moisturiser afterwards as my skin felt a bit dry but that is absolutely normal for me no matter what product I use. I'm a big fan of vitamin C in any form I can get it, so I got the feel good factor after using this product. Loved it!

+ PROS: Nice smelling gentle facial scrub Feels like it does a good job.
- CONS: None - it's a good product.

Jasper Venida

- 2021-08-14 15:28:17

I have used some scrubs before and this product is the one I most enjoyed using. The mircro beads were really small that makes them gentle to the skin unlike some products that can scratch your skin. The fragrance was so good that makes you want to use them even more. After using it my skin feels so refreshed and clean.

+ PROS: Great scent/fragrance, the mircobeads are so gentle to the skin.
- CONS: I did not find anything wrong with it, good product.

Ci

- 2021-08-14 10:21:36

Not something I would have brought but now that I have tried it I would definitely buy it in future. Smells delicious, fresh and citrusy. Very fine gritty texture live a fine liquid nail fine, leaves your face feeling soft, smooth and very clean. I used this alternate nights and followed it with the Essano rosehip night cream.

+ PROS: NZ made Organic ingredients with no nasty bits Does what is says on the pack (polishes and scrubs) Smells great
- CONS: Zero

Michelle

- 2021-08-13 23:33:46

I am not usually a fan of facial scrubs as I find they feel too harsh on my skin. However, this one I am a big fan of! My face feels like it has had a good clean after using it and feels refreshingly tingly with no stinging. As the bottle says, it is gentle enough to be use daily, but it also works well.

+ PROS: - pleasantly tingly - gentle - cleans well

Nicole Sole

- 2021-08-13 10:55:44

What an amazing scrub, smells devine, feels like my face is actually getting a good clean. Thanks to the Black box, i have enjoyed using this each night along with using the Essano eye perfect, then Essano Collagen Boost Serum, and lastly the Essano hydrating rosehip night creme. The whole pack is affordable, lasts ages and has an amazing effect on your skin. I am loving the softness of my skin each night and morning, my skin feels younger, softer and smells amazing. My work mates have even commented on how amazing my skin looks.

+ PROS: Smells amazing Affordable even on a lower income Lasts ages aas you only need a little bit leaves face feeling refreshed NZ made Organic
- CONS: None - this is amazing

Hang Nguyen

- 2021-08-12 16:46:29

It's good product but I don't love it. My skin feels a bit stinging when I use it, which is not the sensation I like very much. But my sensitive skin doesn't react to it and skin feels smooth after using it. So I say it worths a try for someone who has sensitive skin and in search of a gentle scrub. But I can't get over the sensation while using it.

+ PROS: Gentle on sensitive skin. Good scrub.
- CONS: Sting the skin a bit and I don't like it.

YG

- 2021-08-11 20:29:34

A fantastic refreshing facial scrub with a lovely smell. Doesn’t feel too harsh on my skin, but it definitely helps to moisturise following use. I’ve been following with Essano hydrating rosehip night creme

+ PROS: Fresh and pleasant smell Leave skin feeling clean
- CONS: None

Debbie Riddell

- 2021-08-10 20:11:44

Wanted to love this, I am looking for a new scrub to use. It smelt Devine and was nice to use, however it made my skin redness and sore/stingy.

+ PROS: Smell Consistency Removed dead skin
- CONS: Made skin red Made skin dry/stingy

Ayesha Harnett

- 2021-08-10 19:22:59

Great scrub and i am already seeing a difference in my skin from only a week of using this, I suffer from pigmentation after having my babies and it is finally starting to fade but this scrub has really helped push it along a little faster and I have a glow to my face. It is also nice a gentle as most scrubs are too harsh for my liking.

+ PROS: Super great price, not too harsh and results were almost instant
- CONS: None I really do love this product

Sharon Aiyappan

- 2021-08-08 22:19:42

Has a lovely fresh and subtle scent, foams up quickly and easily with only a small pea sized amount so you can use this sparingly. My face felt very clean and tingly afterwards and my skin once dry had a smooth massaged appearance. I thoroughly enjoyed using this face scrub.

+ PROS: Can use sparingly as it will go a long way. Smells great and is gentle, my face felt really nice afterwards.
- CONS: None, It's a good scrub.

khkhollis

- 2021-08-05 09:31:37

Smells and feels beautiful, however my skin felt really dry and was even flaky after the first use last night. This morning my face didn't look great, however I didn't follow it up with any serums or moisturisers (I wanted to see how it would work on it's own) so that might impact it.

+ PROS: Smells great, feels great and doesn't have any burning or weird skin sensations while using it. Even got some in my eye and it didn't hurt, big ups for that!
- CONS: My skin felt quite dry afterwards and then flaky. My skin is pretty sensitive though and a weird combo of super oily and super dry.
