essano Clear Complexion Certified Organic Mist Toner Review

As someone with oily and blemished skin, I rely on toners to further clarify and soothe my skin. As the cleanser in this range was quiet gentle I was hoping this toner would add an extra bit of oomph.

This was very dissappointing....The mister on this bottle is terrible, it just squirts a bit of product onto the skin, rather than creating a mist. I had to use four sprays to get the main parts of my face and then rub it in.

I also the product to be quiet thick, which didn't work well with the mister and left my skin feeling sticky. It didn't really absorb until I added the moisturizer.

Normally with toners I find the help clean my pores and balance my skin. I don't feel like this did anything. Although my skin was less oily, I can't confidently contribute that to this product. I wouldn't use this again, and although it works well if you use the regime of products I wouldn't recommend this as a stand alone product.

I must say this isn’t my favourite mist toner. It has a really sweet smell, but makes my skin feel a bit sticky. It has a nice even spray.. make sure to hold from arms length. I don’t think that this is a necessary product in the regime. It could be missed, and id still have a good outcome (of great looking skin). It is lovely and refreshing on a hot day and after washing my face in the shower.

I trialled this mist toner when BR sent me the whole Essano Clear Complexion range. Unfortunately, I cannot give a complete review of this product as the two times I used it my face went bright red and hot in some sort of reaction to it. As a result I gave it to a friend, as it's clearly not for me, and she loved it! There must just be one ingredient in it that is not in the other products in the range that my skin reacted badly with. The product smells lovely and worked well for my friend, so I'm sure it's fine for most people. I don't usually have allergic reactions to anything or have sensitive skin - just an unlucky one this time!

I was excited by the easy use of a spray toner and found it a nice an refreshing feeling to use and easy when in a rush. However I found my skin didn't love this toner and it created an oily appearance after a short amount of time and my sensitive skin developed a irritated feeling. This is a personal experience and hopefully one that other people would not have.

This stuff STINKS! Smells of chemicals, but appeared to have no adverse effects on my face such as stinging or reactions. This is the product that I have utilised the least out of the range and do not think it is completely necessary (haha just being honest!). The packaging is super cute purple and pink and clearly states the function of the toner. The actual toner does appear to reduce oil on the face WHICH IS A MIRACLE FOR ME! So yes it does work. There is a wee clip on lid that slots onto the nozzle which I have lost already. Overall I enjoyed testing this product but would not purchase again as the other products in this range performed at a higher level.

Prior to this product I have used one other toner, therefore I had some idea about what a toner can do. I liked using this toner but it didn't always spray very well from the bottle which I found odd. This also contributed to needing 3-4 sprays to actually feel confident that the product was distributed over all my face (my face isn't particularly large).

Part of the 'Clear Complexion Range' Essano's Mist Toner promises balance, hydration and clarification for young/oily skin. Normally I have dry skin and I didn't seem to find much of a difference in hydration after this product particularly. After the first use I felt a little tingle but this has not been a reoccurring problem. Interestingly, like the other reviews on this product I was confused as to the scent of the product which was a bit off-putting and lingered for a while after use. I used the toner in conjunction with the cleanser and moisturiser which I did find worked well together.

Loved the strength of the spray. It is very refreshing on the face and covers full face with two sprays. Keeps face feeling moisturized and dries fast which is definitely a plus. The toner promises hydration which I agree with. Also love the packaging and colour scheme. However, dislike the scent and is an area that needs improving. It smells like hospital disinfectant or general cleaning solutions.
