essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir

I would say that this is the best product I have ever used. It definitely does what it says it will do, easy to use, and to get the small amount that you need. Cannot rate this highly enough, it smells gorgeous and there was no waste in the packaging. Because you do not need much it will last for a long time, will definitely buy again.

The elixir comes in a small dropper bottle and has a terrific smell. I used two drops after cleansing my skin day and night before my moisturiser. Its a really thin oil that spreads well over the face but absorbs very quickly so I didn't look like I had an oil slick on my face. The dewiness still came through after applying moisturiser too which is very complimentary as skin reflected light and wrinkles and fine lines appeared smaller. Helped skin feel very hydrated.

Haven't seen any major changes but certainly the fine lines appear diminished.

First off, I love serums, elixirs, gels, and drops so this was right up my alley! I really like the packaging, it looked like a quality product and was a good size. The dropper is easy to iss and is very easy to get out the desired amount however the product itself was much thinner and watery than I was expecting. It felt nice on the skin, didn't irritate and madey skin feel very hydrated. It did not take long to settle into the skin and has quickly becoming my nightly routine. I have not noticed any specific improvement to the overall texture but does feel lovely using such a hydrating product.

I have used some essano products before so I was excited to try this one. My skin has changed as I have got older. I’m now 58 and my skin is definitely drier and has both some fine and deeper wrinkles.

The product is packaged in a box which contains a small bottle with a dropper attached to the lid for ease of use.

I used this product as directed: day and night after cleansing and before applying my moisturiser.

First thing I noticed was the fragrance from the product. It wasn’t overpowering which was good as that would have put me off but there was definitely a gentle pleasant fragrance which I loved.

This product is not as oily as I thought it would be. It was more of a watery consistency. I applied it to my face after cleansing and before my moisturiser.

It absorbed fast which was good as I didn’t need to wait around before applying my moisturiser.

I noticed instantly how it brightened the look of my skin giving it a healthy glow.

After the first application my skin definitely felt softer to touch in the morning. I continued to use as directed but felt concerned that maybe i would have a breakout. I needn’t have worried as my skin actually felt better than it has done in years.

I have now been using this for a few weeks.

Result My skin texture has improved and is noticeable, so much so that I have actually had a few comments from friends. I love the glow that it gives my skin.

My skin definitely appears plumper which I do feel makes my fine wrinkles seem a bit less noticeable but not majorly.

I will however continue to use this product because of the other changes I have noticed and felt on my skin.

My trial product arrived and I read the instructions and claims listed on the packaging. “Decreases wrinkle depth within 4 weeks”. “Increases skin elasticity and firmness within 4 weeks”. As this product is formulated for mature skin, I was eager to start my trial and see if I experienced results as claimed on the packaging. The application of this product added an extra layer to my morning and evening moisturising regime, but I didn’t mind if I was going to see the results as claimed. Looking after my skin is important to me. I did have some reservations about applying the oil to my skin, but I was pleasantly surprised when I applied it how well it absorbed into my skin. The dropper made for easy application and getting the right amount to apply. I wasn’t a fan of the fragrance, it was sweet and stronger than I would prefer, but this was just a very personal perspective and didn’t deter my use of the elixir. After using the elixir religiously for a few weeks, I was finding my skin to be smoother and feeling firmer, especially around my neck area, and also around my eyes. Some lines on my forehead appeared less prominent. I was pleased with the results. So I guess the question is....would I continue to use this product and in fact buy it? I am pleased to say that yes I would. I would prefer a slightly less fragrant elixir, but I do think this is a good product, and worth adding to your skincare routine.

Ok so this is the first facial elixir I have tried - I generally rate Essano products so was excited to try this.

I turned 50 in Dec and my skin is definitely needing some help - it's dry and the wrinkles are getting harder to combat! I also have some spots and can see a bit of sag in areas too.

The packaging on this product is nice, I do like the colours - it's in a glass bottle which is great and has a dropper for applying. One thing I found is that the product is pretty runny (as it's like an oil) and you need to be careful when you take the dropper out as it can spill easily. I dropped around 5 drops into the palm of my hand and then rubbed my hands together and applied to my face, neck and decolletage that way. I LOVED the smell of this elixir it's really lovely, even my 9 year old daughter asked me what I had put on my skin the first time :)

I regards to how long it will last me, I think I went a bit overboard when I first started using it and used probably more than I needed lol, so after around 2-3 weeks I only have about quarter of the bottle left. You really need around 5 drops I reckon for a decent coverage for all areas, although the bottle says 3, I used more as I felt it didn't give enough coverage.

Price wise, it seems to vary depending on where you want to purchase from, I found it at New World for $30.99 for a 20ml bottle, which seems like a fair price.

So after using the product for around 3 weeks I do see a difference in my skin - it does seem smoother and looks a bit "nicer" without makeup. I can see a small difference to my wrinkles as promised but I do think that with continued use it will improve more. I would be interested in using the Night Cream and Eye Cream at the same time as this elixir to give an even better boost.

I would purchase this product again and continue to use it :)

Normally I would only use a serum once a day, generally at night. However, due to being stuck at home with covid, and not worrying about having a bit of a sheen or trying to apply foundation, I ended up using this serum twice a day. I couldn't notice much of a fragrance, possibly due to being pretty congested. I appreciate that it's in a glass container, as I'm trying to reduce my use of plastics, it could be helpful having some direction around whether the dropper can be recycled, as it is glass and plastic combined, I assume it isn't but it would be nice if companies figured out a sustainable work around for this.

I found the serum to be quite light on the skin, which felt pleasant, but was so effective at hydrating that I skipped using my moisturiser for most of the fortnight this lasted. My skin is looking brighter and smoother, and this is a product that I would consider as a good option for ongoing use, and at around $30 at several of the major supermarkets, it's very reasonably priced.

When this product arrived, I decided to hopefully and willingly give it a good chance to do what it promised on the packaging. The packaging was tasteful, if a little oversized for the product. The dropper bottle was lovely and easy to use and enabled me to adjust the amount I needed. I was pleasantly surprised by the scent it had, rather nice, and the formula itself was non greasy and light. It was gratefully soaked up by my skin quickly. In order to be objective, I decided to use it only on one half of my face and the back of one hand. I only used about a third of a dropper each use for combined half face and one hand. This is what I have discovered .. my right hand definitely looks younger than my left, the texture is smoother, plumper and softer and I will now have to start catching up my left. As for my face, the texture is softer and feels more hydrated. This product has definitely lived up to the promise of increasing elasticity. It's hard to tell if there has been a reduction in fine lines, but I would prefer to think so. Has it fulfilled its promise of decreasing wrinkle depth, not yet - I'm going to continue use with great hope, on both sides of my face. However what I do love about this range of products is that it's cruelty free and vegan friendly. Would I recommend it to a friend, yes for texture and softness, but for treatment for wrinkles, probably not. PS due to the small amount needed it is very cost effective.

New Essano Visible Repair Elixir has been specifically designed for mature skin using natural ingredients including Lapagyl, Bakuchiol and vitamin C. This locally made organic serum doesn't contain any parabens, sulphates or silicones, has no artificial colours and fragrances and is free from animal testing. Essano claims the serum will repair and protect the epidermal layer of skin and that wrinkles will be smoothed and softened with regular use. The packaging is a change from Essano’s usual rose colour and is now gold with accents of black and white. Much classier. The serum itself comes in a dark glass bottle which is great for protection against light. I love the dropper as it helps get just the right amount of product. My skin always has difficulty transitioning between the seasons with dryness and dehydration being a constant battle in winter. I’m always on the lookout for super hydrating products that will nourish my skin and help to combat dullness and dryness. I apply two drops of serum both morning and night after cleansing. Its thin viscosity ensures it penetrates and is absorbed quickly into my skin. However its texture is a tad oily to start with. I didn’t find this a problem as I gently massaged it into my face and neck for a few minutes. My skin immediately felt hydrated. It felt supple and smooth and looked radiant. I have been using the serum for four weeks and have noticed so many improvements. My skin feels firmer and its overall texture has improved. Fine lines seem less visible and if not minimised are certainly no worse. My skin feels super nourished and is glowing. I am really impressed with this serum. I have ‘mature’ skin so it was perfect for me. Great results from plant concentrates with no harmful chemicals. I will definitely keep using this.
