essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser Review

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 love this moisturiser! I have really oil skin and have found it difficult to find a decent moisturiser that doesnt make my skin more oily! Its super lightweight and keeps my face moisturised all day.

This moisturiser was pretty nice. It definitely worked well in terms of oil control as I could use it in the morning and by the afternoon my face wasn't all shiny and slick (as it can be in hot weather). So that part of it I really liked. I would have preferred if it did have an SPF in it as during summer I work outside almost all day but then it wouldn't have been suitable for night use so I understand why they didn't do it. The smell i didn't mind too much but I didn't love it. The texture was a bit odd, not quite like other moisturisers but I didn't find it unpleasant so it didn't put me off. I'll definitely be using the rest of the tube, even if just at night.

Packaging is really lovely. The pink/white/silver colours are cute and the tube is easy to use. There is also a generous amount of moisturiser given.

The texture of the moisturiser is kind of a mix of a cream, serum, and gel. It definitely isn't strictly 'creamy' and it kind of gives a sheer layer to the face like a gel or serum.

The scent was super weird, as is the case for all the products in this range. Is it an attempt at vanilla? Rose? Soap? I'm unsure. Whatever the case, I personally question whether a face moisturiser needs any fragrance at all.

The product absolutely did control oil on the skin. It soaked up any slick meaning I loved using it on oil-problem-zones such as my nose and forehead. Unfortunately I have true combination skin, meaning that although my nose and forehead get oily, this product dried out my cheeks and chin.

Personally I won't be repurchasing this product because of how it dries out certain areas of my face, but if you have oil issues over your entire face then I definitely would recommend.

Cute packaging and decent size.

This is my new fave moisturizer hands down.! It make my skin so smooth and hydrated. It smoothed out all of my dry skin and didn't feel to thick which I'm not a fan of super thick moisturizer.

I think that after using the toners and cleansers the moisturizer just sunk into my skin so lovely.

I use this also before bed sometimes or before applying foundation.

When it comes to moisturisers, I am fussy. If something is going to mess up my skin and cause breakouts, it's going to be a moisturiser. Seriously, a moisturiser can wreck more havoc on my face than a bottle of wine, bag of chips and a stressful month. I started using the Essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser with caution and was pleasantly surprised.

Like the rest of the range, the packaging is pretty and functional, with a generous 75ml for under $20. Only a small amount is needed as it spreads easily. I use this in the morning before applying a sunscreen, and in the evening. It is lightweight but noticeably hydrates the skin. It dries quickly on the skin so is a great option for applying makeup straight afterwards. The ingredients list is straightforward with lots of natural, recognisable ingredients; although the claim of probiotics is a bit gimmicky. This claims to be "shine free," and it certainly is. I am enjoying having less shine throughout the day by using a hydrating product rather than a mattifying one. Best of all, this has hydrated my skin without making me break out. Overall, a great option for oily or combination skin and I will repurchase this when I run out.

This is probably one of my favourite moisturisers I have come across. 95.69% of the ingredients are of natural origin, it's cruelty free and made in NZ!

It has a really nice smell kind of like a subtle banana scent. It feels fresh when applied, and soaks in fast leaving skin nice a hydrated and yet it soaks up oil at the same time. It is amazing! The texture is somewhere between a cream and a gel. It has become such a staple in my routine, I love this moisturiser and will continue to use it and will probably buy more!

I really love this one! It comes in really cute and simply packaging. Love the colours. The smell of this product is delicious, so natural and sweet. It has a perfect consistency, just like any moisturiser. It applies well, you only need a small amount, so I’m sure it’s going to last a while. The only downside to this moisturiser is that it doesn’t have an SPF. I tend to use this one at night, and an SPF one during the day. My skin is noticeably less oily in the morning and I do believe that this product is an essential part of my routine.

Like the cleanser from this range, this comes in a simple plastic tube. You get 75ml of product, which actually seems quite little compared to most of my other moiturisers. Luckily you only need a tiny amount (like size of one pea) for your whole face.

Its texture is halfway between a cream and a gel, but it's definitely on the more solid side. Nonetheless it still spreads easily and is easy to pat into my face. It doesn't leave my face feeling greasy and it absorbs into my skin amazingly. Five minutes after applying this my face literally feels dry to the touch. There's none of that oilyness or light stickiness that some moiturisers leave. This feels 'dry' like I had just washed my face yet I feel moisturised. Magical stuff! Now this means that I can apply any makeup directly on top, and I don't have to worry about it feeling or looking oily. I hate the way foundation slides on top of sunscreen and most of my other moisturisers. But this is completely different! I'm loving how bare my face feels, and how well my foundation sits on my skin after applying this.

It seems to do a pretty good job of moisturising my face. And I think in conjunction with the other products from this range it is helping to control my everyday acne as well as help those monster pimples that crop up heal faster.

This was literally a party on my face. I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT. If you are a disgusting oil slick such as I, you will die and rise again when using this product. Dries FAST, need minimal amounts, moisturisesthe skin while drying off the oil! It’s magic!! You get a large amount of product considering the amount you actually use per use. Have hit the jackpot with this product!
