I'm over 50 and am always looking for visible repair and improvement to my skin. Being a NZ made product is a plus and being vegan will please heaps of folks too. First thing I noticed upon opening the box was the glass jar!! Yeah - the green recycle box is ticked for me. Reading through the active ingredients pointed to a well rounded therapeutic product. Natural extracts, that encourage skin firmness, radiant glowing skin and reduced signs of aging. Great for my pale skin is the knowledge that Bakuchiol is natural alternative to the powerful anti-ageing ingredient retinol, without the downside of increased sun sensitivity or irritation. I found Essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir To Have A Very runny consistancy...water like, which poured out of the dropper. All other similar products have a much thicker consistency. Trust me.....A little does go a long way here...possibly down your front if you are not careful. The marketing suggest applying night cream over the top......but for my combination hot flush skin, this just caused a hot mess, so I have only applied the elizir for 2 weeks now. My skin is definitely more moisturised and plumper. A very dry area I have noticed has loved the oil and is softening up...I hope to continue this effect.

Tips: Only suck up a small amout in the dropper at a time co trolley the application.
I’m in my early 20s, and I loved using this oil! I think it’s still important for young people to take care of their skin, so I think of this as preventing any future wrinkles!
It does have a light fragrance which I’m not a fan of though.
Tips: Do not get it in your eye, it stings!
Love this elixir. Makes face really glow and looks healthy. The jade roller just glides over the top. I would repurchase this
Tips: If looks too oily, use night only
I got this in a Essano pack and I love it so much. I use this to finish my skin care going over with my jade roller and it leaves such a lovely glow. I will definitely be getting the big version once my little one runs out
At nearly 87 I am certainly not deluded enough to hope for magic reduction of my multiple wrinkles but I was very interested to discover whether aged skin could reap any benefit from this product.
As I had a very quiet, home based few days on my schedule I chose to simply treat just one side of my face - so that it might be easier to detect any small benefit. Within just a few days the treated side definitely appeared a bit firmer and brighter - so I changed to an entire face routine.
After not much more than a week I can report that my skin is certainly improved - wrinkles, that had deepened and sharpened after more than a year of health issues, are now much soft and less defined , very noticeably those between nose and upper lip.
Such satisfying results so quickly - and I have to confess I do not even follow the instruction re cleanse and tone prior to use - a warm water facecloth suffices! I don't have any Visible Repair Day or Night Cream to follow up with either but have substituted Essano Rosehip Hydrating Regenerating Moisturiser.
The minute 3 ml bottle with a dropper contained the Essano Visible Repair. It is a very fine liquid with an appealing fresh aroma that applies very easily to the skin. I did feel an all-day glow at first application and day cream goes over very easily afterwards. Night cream likewise. Instructions were to use in the am and pm - however, with so little of the elixir my supply only lasted about 8 days. [I will purchase more]. The product feels like luxury, its absorption is immediate and there is never any residue. Throughout the days I used Visible Repair my facial skin felt wonderfully soft and healthy. Once I realised the product would not last the recommended 3-4 weeks I did not waste it on neck and decolletage, preferring to enjoy what I had to the maximum.
Tips: The liquid is so fine that I got a couple of 'frights' with overspill - my tip is to be extremely careful with lifting the dropper from the bottle and even more cautious expelling the elixir.
Lately Essano has really stepped up what was already a pretty good game. I like their products, though haven't always been keen on the rosehip scent. In any case, I was excited to try this product.
It comes in a gorgeous bronze box that immediately looks like a luxury product. The dropper bottle inside has the same design and looks really lovely. The top unscrews and the product is dispensed through the dropper.
The first thing I noticed about the product was the scent - mmm delicious, though I can't identify it. I can smell it when it's on my skin and I love it. The product itself is a clear light oil, that is very soft and absorbs very quickly into my skin, leaving a soft hydrated feel.
So far I have been using it around 3 weeks and have almost none left. I tend to be a bit heavy-handed with serums and oils though. My skin is looking hydrated and feels soft and healthy, but I'm not sure I can claim that it has increased skin elasticity or firmness nor reduced the depth and degree of wrinkles so far, which are the product claims. I am happy with my skin so far though, as it does look brighter and appears more energised and glowing, as it also claims it will.
Overall a lovely product, and while I can't say it did everything it said it would do, I would certainly use it again and give it a longer time to achieve what it sets out to achieve. I would wear the scent as an actual scent! I do recommend trying it.
Tips: Apply to face and neck twice daily after cleansing and toning.
I really enjoyed this trial team, thank you BR and Essano.
It comes in the standard dropper bottle format, easy to squeeze up the product and decant it.
It has quite a powerful scent, quite herbaceous so it's not hideous, but if you're sensitive to scents it might be a bugbear.
I've been using this for twice a day for about 3 weeks, and it's really lovely. A treat for the skin in the morning or the night. I have about half of the bottle left so it's lasting nicely.
I love that this is a natural alternative to retinol, which can be quite irritating. I find I can't use retinol daily or for more than a few weeks without a break. With this I experienced no irritation, and I think I could continue use permanently without the need for breaks.
If you want effective skincare that's nice to use and natural then give this a go. You won't regret it.
I'm a huge essano fan - I think they've built up to being a really reputable brand, and a great challenger for the big global brands.
I love that it's natural and I love that it's powerful too!
I really like the packaging, the branding is clear and the gold colour choice is a classy touch.
The product is a lightweight serum that isn't greasy after use. Moisturizer sits nicely on top of it, as does makeup.
I think this is a wonderful serum to add to any anti-aging routine. I don't think it's going to target very specific concerns for example deep wrinkles, but it does boost the skin's overall appearance and it is a wonderful hydrator.
So to answer my title question...yes essano can do no wrong!
I have tried this product. I found it different to other serums I had tried. This did not leave an oily residue on your face. It felt velvety to put on and went into the skin virtually straight away. I didn't leave me with a sticky face as some serums do.
