essano Clear Complexion Certified Organic Mist Toner Review

I have never used a mist toner before so I was excited to try this. I use it everyday with the other Essano products and is an instant wake up refresher. My skin feels calm and ready for the day as soon as its sprayed on. The smell is really relaxing and sometimes I cant stop spraying it! Really easy to use and you get a decent amount of product.

This was personally my favorite product if the range. I have used this me then any other item. Being summer it is super refreshing as well.

Initial thoughts- when I first got these items I found the packaging very cute and they really stand out. The size of the products are very reasonable. There is no particular fragrance it almost doesn't have a scent which I really like because sometimes when using products around my eyes the smell burns my eyes.

Review- a++ I would definitely recommend this product the sprayer is very fine so it doesn't come out in huge droplets it's like a fine mist. It's very refreshing on the face.

I will definitely be purchasing this again.

Aleyah (15) loved using a spray toner instead of a wipe on toner. She said it was very refreshing and her pores did feel closed. She says it contributed to a less oily complexion. A spray toner is way easier to use.

She loved the fragrance and will definitely continue to use. She said it's also really good to spray your face in this hot summer weather. The packaging is very pretty and appealing, an easy to use smooth rounded bottle with pump action spray top.

I love how this range is organic.

The spray bottle has a great spray. I don’t find that I get big random droplets on my face. It’s quite even.

It feels super refreshing and it has a faint clean scent. It is perfect for these hot summer days when you need a quick refreshing spray!

My skin feels tight afterwards but with a bit of moisturiser it feels better

I really like this product. I feel like it helps to control oil while tightening my pores

This is such a beautiful range especially for oily acne prone skin. I trialed it on my teenager and myself as I have an oily T zone and I love the organic natural and botanical ingredients and also that it's made in New Zealand. The success lies in the supermarket mass marketing which is great for such a natural product to break into.

My son didn't like the soft pink packaging so it's definitely for girls. I loved the packaging it looks beautiful with silver and deep purple it seems pretty and unassuming.

The Toner smelt like caramel I think, it has a beautiful sweet scent. It felt light and refreshing when sprayed on and is so nice in summer to cool you down or to refresh your skin. It does take awhile to sink in I had to rub it in a bit but I think it's worth it if you want your skin to have the purifying results. My skin reacted to it and felt a bit tingly, it may be the citric acid, but perhaps that's good for oily skin. I felt like there were too many ingredients packed into this and a toner is quite a simple step to refresh and tone the skin. My son enjoyed how refreshed his skin felt and after a few days of using this range his pimples had all vanished!

I love the fact that it is a bioDTox which means it's clinically proven to control sebum, detoxify and clean pores. Not only is it natural but it's dermatological tested and free of nasties such as paraben silicone, mineral oil and all the other chemical nasties found in most skin care.

I have to admit I was sceptical and wasn’t expecting much after the last ( which was also the first I admit) mist toner I purchased. But I really feel despite its slightly dull packaging I love it! I really feel it makes my skin feel and look better! It has a light but refreshing scent and I think my skin just appears a little more Matt and pores less giant after I apply this. I really only bought it to spritz in the heat but I will definitely continue to purchase!

Before we start I must confess, I'm super lazy with toners. Most of the time since I'm using vitamin C serum anyway, I don't really bother with toner anymore. But when trialling this range, I was very diligent and forced myself to use this before putting on the serum.

Complaint no.1: the spray bottle. Imagine a wonderful mist that spreads lightly and evenly over your face. This is not it. This squirts out like a water gun and I end up with one circle on my face that's dripping and everywhere else is just dry. I don't know if I just got a crappy nozzle or if this is a common problem, but this pissed me off a lot. In the end I decanted some into another spray bottle I had that actually misted it.

Complaint no.2: the smell. The closest smell to this is probably a hospital disinfectant or some sort of window cleaner. The smell is absolutely horrid. None of the ingredients look like they'd be so pungent but there's just something about this smell that's almost unbearable. I suppose I must forgive Essano for not putting fragrances in this since it's anti acne, but surely there's a way to reduce this horrid smell?

Grumbling aside, this toner does really do the job! For me, a toner should make application of the following steps easier, and facilitate the products absorbing into skin. This ticks both boxes fantastically. I tried two days where I used the toner before serum and two days without the toner. And I found that with the toner, the serum and the moisturiser absorbed into my skin faster, leaving it feeling non-oily and ready for makeup or sunscreen.

The smell is something I can get used to I guess, and I do really like how it helps my skin absorb serum and moisturiser. The price isn't too bad either, especially considering it's 'certified organic'.

This was definitely a top pick out of the entire range for me! It's nice and cooling and it really did help with the actual toning of some uneven patches on my face. The smell could do with some improvements, as could the atomizer...it doesn't provide the most even of sprays and has heavy drops come out along with the finer mist -which feels generally uncomfortable to actually spray on your face. There really wasn't any other complaints bar the smell and atomizer! It definitely helps with oily skin and gives a fresh feeling once you're past the application point. I like the idea of a spray toner in the first place because toning is one of those things I find to be a bit of a hassle and low priority so with some improvements this would be a 5/5 for me.

This is the first time I have used a Mist Toner and so far I am liking it.

I have been using this toner every night within my Essano Clear Complexion skin regime. I like how light and fresh it feels on my skin. I usually spray 3-4 times across my face and neck. I don't know if I am using too much but it does take a minute or two to soak in and dry. It smells nice and fresh and adds to the hydration that my skin is getting from this collection.

This is a calming, clarifying toner with witch hazel and aloe vera at the top of the ingredients list, making it perfect for anyone with inflamed, acne-prone or oily skin. It is a spray bottle which makes it easy and refreshing to use. Although I no longer have acne, this would be a great option rather than dragging a cotton pad over inflamed skin.

This product made my skin feel calm and clarified. As part of the overall skincare system, it helped my skin to stay clear. Although it doesn't smell great, less fragrance = less irritants = clear skin. I would repurchase this product as it is an affordable yet effective toner.
