essano Clear Complexion Rapid Action Blemish Gel Review

Firstly, I was impressed by the small but easy to use bottle of 'Rapid Action Blemish Gel'. The shaped nozzle made getting the right amount of gel out simple. I thought it was quite cool to see the gel was clear, this meant that no white residue was left after drying/application. I did notice that my spots/pimples/under-the-skin-bumps were reduced in size and redness after using the Blemish Gel. Whatever the natural mixture of ingredients it's certainly quite potent as the smell indicates which may put some people off! After using the gel a couple of times on my angriest spots I noticed less scaring/scabbing/marking once the pimples were gone which was a really nice change. It was reassuring to have a product focussed specifically on the task of reducing redness and bacteria's which influence pimples!

I haven't used a pimple cream in ages so was very excited to give this a try. Usually when I get a pimple I apply tea tree oil for a few days until it dries out and goes away. However, a side effect of this is my skin around the blemish gets dry. With this blemish gel, dryness isn't an issue!

I was excited to see that this blemish gel had a high potency of willow bark which is a natural form of salicylic acid which I have read is one of the most effective treatments for blackheads. As I struggle particularly with blackheads, this blemish gel looked perfect for me. I have only been using it for a month so haven't seen a huge improvement yet, but so far I'm very optimistic that it'll help me manage them better.

The gel is clear, smooth and very easy to apply thinly which makes it great to use. Since starting this regime, I have had a few breakouts which are normal for me, but I've found that this blemish gel has reduced the size of my pimples, and seemed to make my small ones disappear almost overnight!

I was very happy with this product, and look forward to seeing what progress it will help me make with managing my blackheads!

I absolutely love this product. It worked very well for my oily skin type and got rid of pimples very fast. Applied it at night and noticed a visible difference in the morning. It also contains natural ingredients which is great for the skin.

Especially great size for travelling and taking around in your bag. I will definitely be repurchasing!

Initial thought was super cute packaging and the sizing was decent.

I personally found that I didn't really use the product as much as others might o actually had a good skin month this month. But I did use it on one or 2 small imperfections and noticed they cleared up within like 24 hours of applying the gel. I did find it a little bit drying around the area but I just followed it up with moisturizer and it was all better.

I think this product would be perfect for people with acne prone skin as long as they follow it up with the moisturizer

I like the packaging of the gel. It comes in a similar packaging to the other products. The scent is most tolerable of the range. It comes out in a clear gel and I usually apply it at night.

It's non-sticky and I feel that it helps to calm inflammation and makes my blemishes go away faster. I do like it and I would repurchase!

This is by far the most effective blemish gel I have ever used! Usually blemish gels don't really work all that well for me, but this one surprised me.

It doesn't have a scent (nothing that I can smell anyway), and when you put it on your pimples, it doesn't sting. That's something I appreciate because a lot of other blemish gels I have tried sting quite a bit.

I find that if I apply this gel to affected areas, the swelling goes down significantly overnight, and you can see a difference the next day.

You don't need to use much at all, and it spreads out quite well. I LOVE that this product, along with the rest of the range, is very natural and cruelty free. The fact that it meets my ethical standards and it works makes me very happy! I believe it's also very affordable which is amazing. I am so happy with this product, when it runs out I'll definitely be buying another tube.

I don’t use a lot of blemish gels like these, so was really excited to give this a go! This has a similar colour scheme to the rest of the range, white and pink with a bit of silver. It has a little pointed tip that the product comes out of- it’s quite small which minimizes the amount that comes out, as only a small amount is needed! It smelt subtle and natural and herby. The texture is a gel and it applies really easily to the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or leave any residue or anything after it’s been applied. I used this on all the odd pimples that popped up and found that it took about a day or two to reduce the redness and then another day or two after that to minimize the pimple. I thought that this was pretty good, being able to start clearing my pimples in about 3-4 days. It also didn’t dry out my skin and didn’t really cause any scarring or anything to be left behind which I really liked! It didn’t irritate or cause my sensitive skin to react at all which I really liked- I was worried it might cause some kind of reaction or redness, but it didn’t. I thought this was effective and not bad for $16! I would probably repurchase this.

I'm not sure how good this would be against very acne prone skin as I don't get many blemishes anymore but it smells good. I like the tiny applicator nozzle, great design for targeting a small problem area. I haven't had a chance to really see it in action yet but I am positive that it will be good because the rest of the Clear Complexion range works great.

This blemish gel comes is very cute packaging. It is a bit sticky, but this is to be expected. It has very little to no smell and has your typical texture of a gel. You only need to use a tiny bit.. so even though the tube is small, it will last a long time. Don’t squeeze the tube too hard when using it as in your first few uses, it will start spilling out once you open it. I did notice that my pimple definitely didn’t last as long when using this product. If applied at night time, my pimple would be noticeably less red the next morning, and some has even gone over night. It also seems quite affordable compared to other blemish gel products.

Aleyah (15) liked the idea of a blemish product in a gel form, she mostly used it at night, due to sweaty p.e classes and high school. Very easy to use , she said you just dab it on. She said I mostly just rubbed it all over my face.

Aleyah has hormonal skin ranging from sometimes inflamed big spots and lot's of blackheads and sometimes just a few spots. At present Aleyahs skin is actually very clear.

The blemish gel is a very good sized product and it doesn't really have a scent. We both think the gel is working wonderfully. Aleyahs complexion has brightened up a lot as well and is not as red. The gel is not sticky , quite thin but a aloe vera gel like consistency when you rub it in.
