The essano Oil Control Deep Pore Cleanser is a gel formula, designed to remove oil, makeup and pore-clogging grime.
The formula is clear, and quite thick. It is easy to spread onto the face, and lathers up easily with a little water. I applied it with my fingers and found it really smooth and gentle on my skin. It doesn't have a strong scent, if anything I would describe it as clean smelling, and the whole regime smells the same.
I have been using this cleanser as part of my night time skincare routine, and found that it removes my makeup very easily, with just a gentle scrub using my fingers or cotton face pad. In general I am not very acne-prone, but I have not had any new spots pop up during my trial of this product. My skin is a normal/combination type, and since using this cleanser my face is feeling smooth and pretty good - not too dry or oily!
I have enjoyed using this cleanser and I think I'll definitely continue to use it!
Comes in standard essano brown plastic with pink label. This product has a pump which I love. 1 pump is perfect dose. The formulation is a light almost clear gel consistency and has a light fragrance that’s hard to describe maybe faintly Freesia and honey? But the scent is not overwhelming and quite pleasant. I’m not sure if it reduces redness yet but haven’t had much time to trial after a fiasco with couriers. I can say it’s gentle and not stripping so no tightness after use and I think my skin is feeling smoother and blackheads improved. I will definitely purchase this again for the right price
