essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir

I was given the opportunity to review the new Essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir. I was curious to find out more about what an elixir does and according to Google 'Elixirs are generally thinner than serums but usually contain a blend of oils and botanical ingredients to help hydrate and nourish skin'. This was quite spot on considering my experience with the Essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir. The first thing I noticed was the lovely smell - this product smells absolutely beautiful. The serum is light and clear and absorbs instantly. It doesn't feel heavy like an oil, but it is very nourishing and makes my skin feel silky. I use it after cleansing and before moisturising. It feels like an extra layer of nourishment that enhances the moisture levels of my skin. I didn't suffer any breakouts or irritation - I have experienced breakouts with skin oils in the past, so this was a concern of mine. I think this is very good value for money and I will purchase this once my bottle runs out. Lovely product - highly recommended.

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

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.

The menopause had already turned my body against me. You do what you can and eventually come to a place of acceptance... BUT... then my own skin, started to react to the sweat behind my mask! My face products started burning and before I knew it, I had rough, red, flaky, angry patches,on my face, that a dragon would be proud of. Add the insult of a few nasty pimples and I was ready to avoid leaving the house for the foreseeable future.

The very same week this was going on, this little treasure arrived on my door step.... I decided to try it anyway, I had nothing to lose and I am very glad I did because my skin loved it! There was no stinging or burning. Within the week the dryness and inflamed patches had improved. Although, it feels quite oily when you first put it on, once absorbed there is no oily residue at all. My skin felt and looked more hydrated. I really like the fragrance and yes, it is quite fluid; but the dropper means that you can accurately measure out what you need. I found patting it in was the best way to apply it and used it on my neck and decolletage too. I can't say what effect it has on wrinkles because I don't have that many 'wink wink'; I can say that the texture and hydration of my skin has improved a lot; this of course helps it look firmer. This will be definitely be staying on my beauty product list.

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.

I’m always a little bit sceptical about claims beauty products make but Essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir lives up to those claims. It comes in a beautiful bottle with a dropper and you really do only need a few drops - I did get a bit carried away as it smells divine and is so light on your skin. I have ‘mature’ skin which is prone to being dry and blotchy. Within two weeks I had noticed a definite improvement in texture and in the blotchiness - it was much less noticeable. I have already ordered another bottle and highly recommend it. There are other gems in this release and I am really looking forward to trying these as well! Absolutely recommend this elixir, particularly if you have problem skin.

The Essano Visible Repair might be small in size, but it is big in effect.

The beautiful bottle contains only 20ml of Elixir, but after three weeks of using this morning and night, I still have almost half a bottle left. The Elixir smells amazing - beautifully floral without being too sweet.

After the first few uses, I broke out in acne along the jawline and considered discontinuing use. However, I decided to continue using this on all areas except the chin and had no further issues.

The product claims to decrease wrinkle depth within 4 weeks and increase skin elasticity & firmness within 2 weeks. I have used this product for three weeks. I took a photo of my wrinkles at the start, and again at three weeks. There has not yet been any noticeable reduction in the depth of my wrinkles. However, there has definitely been a change to my skin - it feels so much more supple and soft. This is such a promising start and I am very keen to continue using the Essano Visible Repair Elixir to see if it really can reduce those wrinkles. Even if it can't, I'm going to use it to maintain the soft-as-a-baby's-bottom feel.

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.

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.
