essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil

One of my fav products from Essano. Affordable, easy to use dropper bottle. Absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft with a nice glow. And it smells amazing!

I've found this review quite hard to write because I think it's the kind of product that needs continuous long term use to really see big changes.....

My thoughts on the product itself, it smells amazing and has just enough scent without being overwhelming. It glides on to the skin but doesn't leave an oily residue like other facial oils I've tried and it easily fits into even the most basic of skincare routines as it can be used either morning or night. I personally love the essano brand and the vitamin c super glow, like the rest of their products comes packaged simply but nicely.

The box states that the facial oil contacts 8 natural oils and extracts to even out skin tone, lighten the appearance of dark spots and leave the skin glowing. I can definitely say that my skin feels fantastic and it is starting to look like the overall tone is improving. I will continue to use this product daily as I am starting to see results and hopefully it will continue to improve my skin.

If you have uneven or dull skin tone I would recommend that you give this product a try.

Like most Essano products, this oil comes in nice pink packaging. The oil is in a small glass bottle with a dropper. The dropper works well (unlike many droppers!) and you can easily control how much of the oil you use. I used this facial oil morning and night under my moisturiser. You only need a small amount and it really is absorbed easily into the skin. I wasn't left with any oily residue at all. I found it a good base for my moisturiser and make up. My skin felt nicely hydrated after using it. I didn't notice any real change in my skin tone, although it is early days, so fingers crossed!

Thankyou BR for allowing me to trial this product.

It comes in a medium sized bottle with a drop applicator. The scent is a lovely mild sweet scent. The consistency is a semi thick oil.

Simply put 3-4 drops in the palm of your hand and gently pat on your face after cleansing, apply moisturizer on afterwards. Suitable for use in the morning and evening.

I found this product to be extremely gentle on my skin, absorbs easily and left my skin feeling great. Each morning my skin was soft and had a natural glow to it instead of looking dull. I also have alot of uneven skin tones and I feel after 3 weeks the appearance of it has lightened leaving my skin looking more glowing.

I would highly recommend and I will definitely be repurchasing again.

This came in minimal packaging with just enough information on how to use it. The bottle is easy to open and has a dropper top which doesn't drip unless you squeeze it. The oil has a nice feel to it and pleasant smell. I did find it a little tricky to apply to my fingertips and pat onto my face like the instructions said, as it seemed run. Overall my skin looks brighter and feels smooth.

With fine lines and wrinkles starting to show and dark pigmentation spots from not wearing sunscreen enough when I was younger, I was excited to try out this Vitamin C oil from Essano.

First impressions were good. The oil is dispersed by a dropper which is easy to use. The oil is quite thin, so it took a few goes to get the application right, as to start with I had more oil running between my fingers than on the fingertips for application! The oil absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling soft. It leaves a dewy finish, but not greasy. Once absorbed, I was able to apply my daily sunscreen and also a light foundation on top of the oil without any issues.

Initially, I did get some dry spots and a small breakout after starting to use the oil, but this only lasted a few days as my skin adjusted to the new product. Since then, my skin has been well hydrated and healthy looking. The hydration lasts all day, and even in the depths of a southern winter, I haven't had the dry skin I usually experience.

While my skin tone does look better, I'm not entirely sure if there has been too much difference to the darker pigmentation. Some of my lighter sun shoots spots have faded which is great, so it may just take longer for the darker ones.

Overall, this is a great affordable product especially as the brand can be found in supermarkets and chemists. I love that it is New Zealand product and uses natural ingredients without the nasties that can be found in other skincare. Definitely a product I would buy in future.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how good this serum is! I've used a few different vitamin c treatments and have seen the Essano offer in the supermarket but always thought maybe it wouldn't be that great as it's such a reasonable price! The glass bottle is pretty standard, a squezzy tip on the applicator to dispense the drops.

Serum is a little thinner than I was expecting and it's easy to get a little bit more products than you need.

The serum smells delicious and soaked into my skin quickly and didn't pill with my night moisturizer, total bonus.

When using at night time my skin felt super soft and plump in the morning and over the last few weeks I've seen the slight discoloration of age spots on the side of my face change colour and be a lot less noticeable.

I did experience a little redness across my cheeks when I got greedy and used the serum morning and night but it quickly went away when I droped it back down.

All in all I totally recommend the Essano serum, for the price it definitely delivers.

I have previously used Vitamin C facial oils from Mecca and Kiehls and picked up the essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil from the Beauty Vault. I was keen to try a supermarket brand Vitamin C facial oil and I love that Essano products are vegan friendly, cruelty free, and don’t contain nasties.

The essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil is a super thin oil so it’s very hard to measure out the 3-4 drops suggested on the bottle. I put it on my hand before gently applying it to my face, and find a little goes a really long way.

The bottle seems super small but should last a while and I do feel it gives my skin a bit of a glow and could be evening out my skin tone. The scent is gorgeous and I like that it didn’t leave my skin with an orange tone I then need to cover as another did.

I use it in the morning after cleansing and find it absorbs fairly easily and moisturisers sit nicely over the top.

I'm a big fan of Essano, I've always loved their products and their range is getting huge, so I'm always keen to try new products from them. This facial oil smells amazing! I've always heard Vitamin c oil is really good for your skin and I have tried another brand before that I quite liked. 3 drops is all you need morning and night, don't make the mistake of doing more because it really spreads out and brings a brightness to your complexion. I feel as if it is doing good for my skin but I've decided to just use it once a day due to breakouts which I think is from the facial oil because I haven't changed anything else in my skincare routine. I didn't see any difference my skin tone or dark spots but I will continue to use it and see if I can notice anything, plus this tiny little bottle is going to go a long way so its definitely good value for money!

Clickbait title alert! This oil doesn't really give you rosy cheeks, but it makes them SMELL rosy. Not an old-timey, faded potpourri, grandmother's wrinkly hands sort of smell, but an uplifting, frolicking in summer fields sort of smell. Rather nice actually.

This oil is very light and goes a loooong way. Four drops is enough, which means this bottle is going to last forrrrevvverrrrr. I applied after toning with a spritzer spray. If I'm late with the moisturiser, all that wet spray evaporates off leaving my skin feeling tighter and drier than before. BUT if you add some drops of Essano Vitamin E oil, it holds all that moisture in. And then I have longer to faff about before moisturising.

The oil is quite a nice step to include in the nightly routine and although I didn't use it every day, I liked how it made my skin feel softer. I'm not sure about the 'super glow', although it definitely gives a dewy look - because it's oil, der.

I was hoping the Vitamin C boost would help lighten my pesky dark melanin spots on my cheekbones, but it didn't make much of a difference there during the trial weeks (thank you BR for the opportunity to trial this product!). Here's hoping a longer useage time makes more of an impact.

All in all, I would say this product is definitely a 'nice to have' - it's inexpensive, you can buy it from the supermarket, it smells lovely and it's a little luxury boost for a tired skin routine.
