12/08/2023, By ElmaOh my gosh, this is one of my favourite cleansers, it really does Refine your skin and I saw a difference in my pore size after using this product. I’m on my second bottle and co wash with Skoon’s Claywash ( to get off my make -up ) simply loves it. It also lasts me about 6 months.15/11/2021, By NadineI'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize it had a lovely pump dispenser, so I was unscrewing the lid and wasted a lot of product trying to get it out the tube. I add this to my Sensitive skin cleanser to bulk it up a bit. They both last longer and work really well together. Love it.17/03/2021, By EmmaI really like this cleanser, skin feels really clean and soft after use. A little goes a long way. The only gripe I have: difficult to get out of the plastic tube!07/12/2020, By EmmaConsistent with Esse quality! A little goes a long way, it spreads nicely and foams a little when you add water, skin feels great after using this, smooth and clean.24/10/2020, By RevGreat product, skin feels super clean after use.20/07/2020, By KezI initially bought the Sensitive Cleanser and found it didn’t seem to do much to cleanse and so tried this and won’t use anything else now. Foams, washes well and I even use it as a mask sometimes! Lasts ages too!14/07/2020, By Thabilesoap free, doesnt dry and is gentle on my sensitive and acne prone skin13/07/2020, By Esse skincare userSmells amazing and cleanses my face and removes access oil. Works better than the sensitive cleanser for me. Lasts me a long time as well. Loving it!11/06/2020, By moniqueA really good product, cleans my skin well, even just using a small amount. smells amazing and fresh11/05/2020, By Lily-anneExpected a bit more - gentle, but find I need to use it 2-3 times in one go to really feel that my skin is cleansed, so I expect it will no last very long.
Love the smell, though.04/03/2020, By KianGood Cleanser although I find the esse sensitive cleanser to be better for my skin. It is a light exfoliant.24/01/2020, By DaniThe best face wash I have EVER used. It's gentle and leaves your skin moisturized while feeling like your skin has properly been cleaned.11/10/2019, By SashaThe product is amazing. A little goes a long way, smells amazing, performs superbly and leaves your skin feeling smooth, refined and cleansed. Esse is an amazing product all round and this Esse Refining Cleanser is no exception. Only suggestion is to change the packaging as it is a little hard to store and keeps falling over plus the plastic is not 'green'. A glass container similar to the moisturisers perhaps?23/09/2019, By ElsabeThis product last forever. My previous tube lasts me 4 years... It works wonders on breakouts... I leave it on overnight and the zit is gone in the morning. Great exfoliator.26/08/2019, By KyleLove this product. All natural, high quality ingredients. It really does work perfectly when using with other Esse products (Hydro sensitive moisturiser). Lasts very very long. I'm just not a super fan of the tube it comes in, as you have to place it down very gently in order for it not to fall over... Maybe Esse can work on the packaging.21/07/2019, By VurnsIt refined with in a few uses, never had refined skin like this ever06/06/2019, By TashaLove this product! I use it once a week as a mask. Helps a lot especially if you train a lot. Nice exfoliator & it draws out toxins (bonus) :)04/06/2019, By MariskaGentle, lathers beautifully and cleans thoroughly. Since converting to natural products, I tried a few brands, but this is by far the best. I am very happy and my skin shows it. My natural skin oils are returning and skin feels fantastic.21/05/2019, By W van der MerweIts goes on with no fuss and it feels great afterwards you can see and feel the difference, clean smooth skin27/03/2019, By saamiyahThe hallmark of esse products is there gentleness. I received this as a sample and can't wait to buy it. I love cupping my hands and inhaling the heavenly fragrance. Gently cleanses. Like bathing your face in a heavenly garden. Try it!09/03/2019, By MiaGreat cleanser that really leaves your skin feeling clean but not dried out. I have skin that breaks out easily, but this cleanser combined with the Hey Gorgeous Banish and Repair serum and moisturiser seems to limit the breakouts a lot.18/12/2018, By AlyssandraLove Esse range, especially the refining clay cleanser. Skin always feels refreshed afterwards. Best used with toner and moisturiser. Just wished the products were more affordable in the long term.17/09/2018, By LGreat gentle cleanser and gentle on my skin.06/09/2018, By ShamimLove this product!
Can be used like a masque as well because of its texture and its smell and feels like something fresh on your face.25/06/2018, By KyleGreat stuff. Gentle on your face. Doesn't leave skin dry and tight, even in the winter. Great price for the quantity as you only use a small amount each time.17/04/2018, By Nevashinii love this cleanser. it is exfoliating and leaves my skin so clean and soft, it doubles as mask. its on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.19/02/2018, By CareysI've been using this cleanser for a few months now and I'm loving it. It feels great on my skin, smells lovely and doesn't leave your face feeling dry.

Smells great and non - drying29/01/2018, By Lady BugOne of the best cleansers. Just the right amount of each ingredient creates the perfect balance. So good for dry skin, doesn't dry you out.19/01/2018, By CarishmaI recently switched from a gel cleanser to a cream on and this is just the best, my skin still feels super clean without the tightness/dryness of a gel. Beautiful smell and great fresh feeling on my skin.16/01/2018, By StephanieI use this cleanser on the days when I feel like my skin will not cooperate and I have what feels like an oil build up.

This product leaves your skin super smooth if used after the Esse cleanser. It is a great way to prep your skin for a mask to penetrate your skin better.23/09/2015, By LayneThis cleanser makes your skin feel supple and soft! I also use it as a face mask.
Its awesome!20/03/2015, By M. Paloma WernerI got the cleanser as a present in my second purchase and I loved the smell, but found that it does not clean well at all. After I cleaned my face I used my toner and the cotton pad was very dirty. Pity.26/01/2015, By SarahI received a sample of this in my second ever FTN purchase and I must say that I was very surprised. It exfoliates gently, cleanses deeply and doesn strip my skin of its natural oils. Definitely a good buy!22/01/2015, By SuzanneThis cleanser is super efficient, leaving my skin soft and clean. I can imagine using anything else again.21/01/2015, By HlengiweI absolutely love this cleanser. It smells wonderful and gently exfoliates whilst cleansing.
