essano Clear Complexion Certified Organic Mist Toner Review

I've never been able to consistently use a toner, and I can't believe what I was missing out on! This toner made my skin feel fresh, clean, and revived! I have never been a huge fan of Essano products, so would have never bought this product for myself, but I am so glad I got to trial this product because it completely changed my mind!

What I think made this toner work for me better than other toners in the way that I could stick to using it, was its ease of use. All the other toners I've ever owned have been in bottles that I've had to use an cotton pad to swipe on. However, this one comes in a spray bottle which makes using it easy and immediate. The only issue I had with it is the spray is very strong so you have to hold it quite far from your face to get a light coverage which is what the bottle suggests.

It really made my skin feel revitalised, and after only a month I think I'm starting to see improvement in the balance of my skin and my oil production. Despite this, the toner itself did make my skin feel a little bit sticky and appear slightly shiny which meant I couldn't really see the benefit of reduced oil production unless I was wearing makeup as it didn't melt off as my makeup usually doesn't

Overall, I really enjoyed using this product as I think it has helped my skin and am definitely going to use every last drop!

I've never owned a toner before, and never really included using a toner in my skincare routine. I wasn't quite sure how to use it and what it does and I had nothing to compare it to. I used it before putting my makeup on, and after using moisturiser and cleanser.

I loved the smell of it, and it was really refreshing using this on my face. I also got really badly sunburnt on my shoulders and it helped take away the stinging of my sunburn (I don't know why and I don't think that's what it's meant for at all, but it worked for me haha!)

I probably wouldn't purchase again, just for the fact of me never using toner, but will continue to use this along with the rest of the set, as I noticed positive results while using this whole set! My skin feels and looks a lot smoother and less red!!

I am currently in love with mist toners! I just love how refreshing they are. This one had the added benefit of being really calming which I found was perfet after being sunburnt! It made my face feel nice and hydrated which was great. I can't say that I overly loved the smell of it, it wasn't off putting but it could have been better. In terms of clearing up my skin I'm not 100% sold on it but I'd definitely buy it again as it's just nice to use throughout the day.

I saw that some other ladies had trouble with the spray bottle... The packaging must be inconsistent because I enjoyed an even mist which fell delicately on my face. The pink/white/silver colour scheme is really cute too, so personally I liked the packaging.

The smell is a bit odd across this product range. I think it is meant to be some combination of vanilla and rose... In general I don't see the need to add artificial fragrance to this type of product, unless it is a real selling point.

I definitely found the mist light and non-sticky. My skin has definitely been a lot clearer while I've been using this skincare regime. I was previously using the Sukin organic mist toner, and I would say this has similar results at a similar price.

This is easily my second-favourite product in the Essano under 25s regime, so I would consider purchasing again.

I have recently been integrating a mist toner into my usual skin routine, so was super excited to try this! This has a similar white and pink colour theme as the rest range, in a spray bottle. It was easy to get the bottle to spray (it wasn’t too stiff or hard to press or anything), except I found the droplets that came out to be too large- for me it wasn’t fine enough. The first time I used it, the product wasn’t distributed very evenly and I had areas where there was a lot of product compared to others. I found that holding the bottle further away (about arms length or a bit less) made the spray droplets finer and helped the distribute the product more evenly. That said, it felt really hydrating and refreshing! It doesn’t take too long to dry either, as I usually like to wait for it to try before putting on my next product. I couldn’t quite figure out the smell, I expected it to smell similar to the cleanser, however it smelt completely different. It smelt more chemically than the others, it had a bit of a weird smell that I couldn’t really out my finger on. I used this after cleansing and before serum, which I usually find works well for me. My skin is pretty sensitive but I didn’t get any reactions or redness from this product which was great! I didn’t find that it left a lot of residue on my skin- it seemed to absorb and wasn’t sticky when I went to apply the next product. While I did like this, I am not sure it is the best out there, but for $13 it’s not bad!

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.

I like that the bottle easily allows you to identify what it is. It claims to be a mist toner, but isn't quite fine enough to be a mist, only misty at arm's length.

It smells quite strong and sweet, and seems to stay on the skin, but is not sticky. It is very hydrating though, and I feel that my skin is refreshed and less oily.

Overall, it is a decent toner, but I don't normally prioritise toners anyway, and this didn't work wonders for me so I probably wouldn't repurchase. I feel that there would be better toners, which smell less strongly, and have an even mist.

I have only used a couple of toners in the past, and I haven't had good experiences with them. I thought that this toner would dry out my skin and make it feel really tight, but it didn't.

I really liked how this toner is in a spray bottle because it's way easier (and more eco friendly) than using cotton pads every day. It's really easy to use and doesn't dry out my skin whatsoever.

The only thing I don't like about this toner is the smell. It's not horrible, it's just weird and I can't put my finger on what it actually smells like. Although it doesn't linger and you can only smell it when you spray it, so that's a bonus.

Because I have been using these products as a system, I can't actually tell which product is doing what for my skin. However because this product contains witch hazel and chamomile, I would assume this product plays a big part in why my skin has cleared up so much while using this system. I will definitely keep using this product because it's so easy, and it's worth continuing to use it just because of the convenience.
