essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser Review

I love natural products, as they usually seem to work with my sensitive skin, and am always on the hunt for more, so this product was right up my alley. The packaging is similar to those in the range- white and pink with some silver. This came in a tube and was easy to open/close and control the amount of product that came out. The smell, again was not similar to any of the others in the range, a sweet vanilla-ish scent and more subtle than the serum. The texture was really smooth, it wasn’t a creamy type of moisturizer, it was more like a mix of a cream and a gel kind of consistency. It spread really easily and smoothly and absorbed quickly. However, I didn’t find that this added much moisture to my skin- after it had absorbed my skin still felt a bit dry or like it needed something else to hydrate it. My skin is more dry than oily though, so this may be why my skin felt like this and I probably need a more hydrating or nourishing moisturizer. That said, my skin did feel smooth, it just didn’t feel quite moisturized if that makes sense. I did find that the places I do get oily (like my T-zone) were less oily after using this for the past 4 weeks. My skin is also sensitive and I found that I didn’t get any adverse reactions or irritations! I have found my skin to be clearer and I have had less breakouts since using this! As I do have more dry skin, this may not be the moisturizer for my skin type, but it has helped contribute to making my skin clearer!

I trialled this moisturiser when BR gave me the whole Essano Clear Complexion range to try!

This product has an interesting scent (fruity baby food is how I've described it to friends) and an interesting (almost lumpy) texture. That might not be for everyone but I actually really like it. It's definitely different from other moisturisers that I've used.

I like to use a moisturiser under my makeup each day. This moisturiser is really good for that as it doesn't stick to my foundation or clump like I've had with other brands. I will say that when it's sinking into your skin, it does give off a little bit of that "tight" feeling, but it has only been a fleeting feeling for me and otherwise it's felt great all day long!

I would recommend this moisturiser as a great everyday moisturiser that is made up of great ingredients. :)

This moisturizer was really nice, although it wasn't anything spectacular, I think its a nice moisturizer that is easily available and I would use this again.

The moisturizer comes in a basic squeeze tube. But it matches the rest of the line and is quiet pretty.

The moisturizer itself is a thick gel formula, I found that did need a little more of this than my typical moisturizer. This was really lightweight on the skin and did absorb quickly. I found my skin was sufficiently moisturized and it did help control my oil. Overall I think this is a very nice moisturizer and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good supermarket moisturizer.

Honestly, there's not much to say about this! It's a moisturiser, a little too thin for my skin's dry patches, but it'll be nice and light for super hot days. It does feel a touch too watery to lock in any moisture on the skin, but seeing as it's designed for oily skin then this probably won't be an issue for most people. I never buy products marketed solely on the fact that they're ~natural~ and no ~harsh chemical sulphates~ because literally everything is a chemical. This product isn't any more special than other moisturisers I've tried. The only thing I haven't seen yet in a moisturiser is the inclusion of probiotic lysate (Lactobacillus ferment,) which is actually beneficial and based in solid science, and makes sense. Yay science!

My skin felt soft after use but definitely not moisturised, and needed rehydration throughout the day - so it wasn't my favourite. I much prefer my Clean and Clear moisturiser, but I'll finish the tube of this as the days get hotter.

this is like a gel cream texture and very easy to apply which means you dont need to use a lot at a time and it spreads very well , it mattifies the skin instantly after apply ,but after a while my oily skin just return to normal .

I have been using a Cetaphil moisturiser prior to this one and it leaves my skin hydrated, but also sticky and shiny. I found the promise of a hydrating moisturiser with a matte finish incredibly promising as this is just the kind of product I have been looking for.

The moisturiser is brilliant in the way it is light and non-greasy. Once applied it is readily absorbed into the skin without leaving too much of a greasy residue which I found was a great improvement on my previous moisturiser.

I did find that it didn't really make my skin look matte, but I used it after the toner which could be the reason why. It also isn't a great base under makeup as applying primer and foundation over the top makes it rub off so I also used it at night.

Overall, this is a pretty good moisturiser, and I am definitely going to use it until it's finished as it gets the job done and doesn't make my skin feel as greasy as my last moisturiser. However, I wasn't overwhelmed with its matte-making abilities so will probably not buy it again.

I did really like this and think it was a great addition to the set! I used it alongside the other products and noticed my skin feeling and looking a lot smoother and refreshed!

On days where I didn't use the whole set, I still used the moisturiser and felt my skin was definitely moisturised! When using this by itself, I didn't notice any difference from any other moisturiser I might have used, though.

I still really liked this product and will continue using it with the rest of the set. It does everything I look for in a moisturiser, and think the price point of $20 is reasonable!

I have never used a moisturiser which promised to control oil and leave a natural matte finish. Therefore, I did find the product quite different from prior moisturiser in that its consistency wasn't as opaque, thick or white. Initially I did not see much of change in my skin's hydration but after I used Essano's moisturiser with my previous one I did notice a more natural matte finish. I was happy to note that my skin wasn't being clogged by this product either. Little of this product was needed to cover my whole face which was great value but it is a lighter moisturiser. Like some of the other reviewers I did notice that the moisturiser was quick absorbing but felt a bit sticky after application so perhaps make a note of this before trying to apply other products to your face. My 'oilier' spots were definitely reduced by using this product and the other Essano Clear Complexion range.

This actually did what it says it would, oil control! I normally find my skin getting overly oily from using moisturizers but I had a noticeable decrease in my usually oily spots from only a few uses. Unfortunately, I didn't love the consistency or the feeling of my skin for awhile after using it (nor the smell so much) but it did what I hoped it would do! I just hope they look to further improve on this formula in the future. All in all something I would like to use regularly as part of my makeup routine and I would probably buy this again as well.
