essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser Review

this is like a gel cream texture and very easy to apply which means you dont need to use a lot at a time and it spreads very well , it mattifies the skin instantly after apply ,but after a while my oily skin just return to normal .

I love to use this moisturiser in Summer as it is hydrating but not at all greasy and helps to keep me matt even on hot humid days. It almost has a slight primer feel to it and helps to hydrate dry areas (often gel type moisturisers don’t work on these patches for me).

A very lightweight moisturiser that worked well. Cannot fault this product, it did what it said it would and never had a problem with it :) Smells amazing too!

My skin has become a greasy mess this summer, even though I spend majority of the day in a building with aircon, Id be shiny by lunch time and my foundation would look awful by mid afternoon.

I read a few reviews on the Essano Clear Complexion range after spotting it at my local supermarket. For some reason I can be snobby when it comes to what I put on my face (I’m working on that) and have doubts that supermarket range skin care is any good.

However I decided to pick up the oil-control moisturiser as I needed something to see me through till I ordered something else online or went to Mecca. My expectations were low, to the point I that was already mourning the loss of money that I hadn’t spent yet on a high-end mattifying primer.

Not going to lie, I’m usually right about most things. But this was one of those rare times I was wrong AND I was happy about it! This moisturiser does some sort of sorcery to my skin. My face is less shiny. My foundation is still foundation-ing well past 5pm. To I think I spent a mere $20 on this bad boy. Oh, and did I mention the scent? I’d imagine baby Jesus, watching down on his from his cloud throne would smell somewhat similar (it’s nice).

I usually use simple spotless moisturiser but I find it annoying as lots of supermarkets don't sell it so I have to hunt it down, so I decided to see how this went and possibly replace the simple one.

It was on special for $13 which is a great price. I find the cardboard box unnecessary as it goes straight in the recycling bin.  It comes in a pink 75ml tube with a flip top. The consistency is like a gel but also creamy. It has a subtle vanilla scent.

I have dry skin but hate moisturisers which feel sticky and leave my face shiny, hence why I purchased this. It spreads amazingly, you only need a tiny amount.

It dries super fast on my face and my makeup applies smoothly. I use this in the morning only and it gives me sufficient hydration throughout the day. I get no irritation or redness. Doesn't cause breakouts and has kept my skin clear.

This is a lovely moisturiser which gives me matte skin as stated. Look for it when on special. A tube lasts ages. No nasty ingredients, cruelty free and made in NZ :-)

I really enjoy using this moisturiser. I have only recently realised I super sensitive skin, and products with SLS's and Parabens send my skin in a tizz. I really struggled finding products that I could try out within my price range. I am happy to buy a relatively pricey product, but not until I know that it works.

This moisturiser is great! Its within my price range and its gentle enough for my skin and it is made of all natural ingredients with no nasties!

It is a gel type moisturiser which is really nice and soft. Smells delicious, sort of like pears an vanilla, but not overpowering.

The moisturiser soaks into my skin pretty quick and I can fell my skin is so much softer and smoother now that I am using it.

I love that it has the probiotics in it. There are no other probiotic moisturisers I have found around, and from my internet research/Doctor Google, probiotic moisturisers are great for skin like mine so that is another big tick in its favour.

I highly recommend using this moisturiser and since trying it, it has become a staple in my regime.

Love this gel moisturiser! The scent is reminiscent of fresh pear, sugar and soft vanilla. Gel spreads nicely and absorbs into skin very quickly. My skin is noticeably less oily after using the whole range (currently minus cleanser) after showering, this product paired with the serum would be perfect for dryer skins after exfoliation or drying acne creams. Gentle around the eyes, no watering! My skin is looking really good since starting to use these products and I don't even use them every day! Excellent range. Very satisfied.

Was dubious as so many other oil control or mattifying moisturisers ( and I have a cupboard full of them) really do nothing for my oilslick of a face but this product really helped control my oil! I get hot,sweaty and oily at my work and usually a few hours in feel like I need to shower my face! With this product I really felt it was the most under control my oil production has ever been. Well priced and will definitely buy again,
