Not the best

This was fine for hydrating but I don't think it's potent enough to get the hailed vitamin c, brightening skin tone effects. For similar money I'd try the Tailor Skincare GoldDust which I had better results with.

essano Advanced Brightening Vitamin C Concentrated

Tried this twice as it's affordable at your local supermarket on sale compared to other serums on the market. Very moisturising and was really good to use over winter before you go to bed before a night cream. Don't think I can use this in summer though

Not a fan

I bought this as part of the trial pack and was excited about the affordability of this product, however I was sadly disappointed. The serum reacted with my skin leaving it all red and blotchy which I have never had with any other serums. The dropper doesn't really work and I really disliked the fake-orange scent. No thanks.

super surprising!

its no secret that i'm not a huge fan of essano, so when i got this in the christmas bbbe i was a bit... ehhhhhh... about it. however, i used it and man. im impressed.

the product comes out in a pipette and is thick and creamy. it applies like a dream, and makes my face feel lovely and soft every single time after use, even more so if i've used a scrub or facemask beforehand.

the smell is quite subtle, the last time i remember smelling it distinctly was probably the first week i used it, it was a mild vitamin c smell which, i guess is quite fitting.

i cant say i've noticed it brightening my skin but i have noticed it looking... fresher? but it is summer so perhaps all the time in the sun has also tanned my face, so i cant be too sure. but it's a lovely serum and i'd happily repurchase!

Advanced Brightening Vitamin C Concentrated Serum

Before using the essano vitamin c serum I was using the ordinary vitamin c suspension, which stung and kinda burned my skin.

Last year my Daughter gifted me the brightening vitamin c trial pack .

I wasn’t a fan of the face wash gel or scrub as they really dried out my face , even though I have oily skin.

But the vitamin c serum ! Oh my god magic! Smells amazing and I was really impressed the vitamin c comes in a more natural form .

I used the little sample of the vitamin c serum up really quick. It did not sting , no burning either . Twice a day but I always wear sunscreen. My skin looked good. Brighter to be exact.

So I committed to a full sized bottle. I am 40 years old and had noticed a sun spot on the left side of my face , it was dark but at least 3-4 shades darker than my fair skin. Well! It’s actually gone! I think it was around 3 weeks and it was totally gone.

I’m sold! Get it! It won’t dry out your skin at all

Yes!

This product is great. It comes in the standard Essano pink packaging. inside the box is a small dropper bottle containing the product. The product is a thick white lotion with a creamy orange scent.

I have applying this at night and I love the look and feel of my skin - beyond what I would have expected. My skin does look healthier and is brighter as per the product claim. I'm surprised as I like Essano but not usually this much, with the exception of the wrinkle rescue. I like that this product doesn't smell of rosehip, the primary reason I'm not usually as keen on Essano products.

The only criticism I have is that the lotion is too thick for the dropper and I have to bang it against my hand to get the product to dislodge. But otherwise, it is a fabulous product and my skin is clearly benefitting from it.

Tips: Apply at nights to clean skin - lovely!

Alright

I really like the way this feels on my skin when I apply it but it hasn’t really changed anything. It says it will brighten my skin but it’s made no change. I’ll continue to use it up because I do like it as part of my routine and I also really like the scent but after that I will be looking elsewhere. I do think it’s potentially worth the cost.

LOVE THIS!

I really love this Vitamin C Serum!!! I've been using it in the mornings and love the way it makes my skin look and feel! It's got a lovely light citrus scent which disappears almost immediately so doesn't irritate my skin and leaves a light, glowy and radiant finish to the skin. I've been using the Essano Niacinamide serum in the evenings and I believe that using these serums this way has really contributed to my skin's clarity, smoothness and glowiness! Would definitely recommend this serum! I get it from Pak n Save when it's on sale as it's a little cheaper than other places but definitely worth it!

Tips: Keep it away from windows because Vitamin C is sensitive to light and it can make the formula go bad. You only need one or two drops to cover your face and neck so a little goes a long way. If you haven't used serums or acids before, start off using it a couple of times a week and work your way up to every day if you have sensitive skin!

Essano Concentrated Serum

I purchased a set of Essano concentrated serums which came in a very pretty pink box. And this was the very first of the serums i decided to try first. The serum itself was unique as it was white and thick. The colour kind of reminded me of the colour of the white glue we use to use in primary school.

Anyways the serum itself was not too bad... didn’t cause any breakouts nor irritation. In the morning when i woke up, my face seemed to look happy and healthy, and it didn’t feel dry either, which was good. I managed to finish the whole bottle but didn’t notice any significant changes to my freckles.

It’s nice how it comes in a small dropper bottle... then wouldn’t need to leave an opened product unfinished for too long. I might give it a go again.. and see whether it will help lighten my freckles in the long term.

Came in a broken bottle. Essano would not reply.

I was super excited to try this but when I brought it and opened it the dropper was snapped off in the bottle. Didn't want to use it as there was sharp glass in there. Reached out multiple times to essano but they never replied or bothered to answer.
