essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser Review

This is such a beautiful range especially for oily or acne prone skin. I trialed it on my teenager and myself as I have an oily T zone antd I love the organic natural and botanical ingredients and also that it's made in New Zealand. The success lies in the supermarket mass marketing which is great for such a natural product.

The moisturiser smells beautiful like caramel or marzipan I'm not sure. It absorbs so quickly I can't feel anything no residue at all and quite a few times I moisturised twice as I felt like I hadn't. It's a great for under makeup to control shine or oil, and it contains pro-biotics which sounds innovative! It's not very moisturizing but it definitely helps with oil control and to make skin feel purified and healthy. This made my son's skin look smooth and soft and after a few days of using this range his pimples had all vanished!

I love the fact that it is a bioDTox which means it's clinically proven to control sebum, detoxify and clean pores. Not only is it all natural but it's dermatological tested, free of nasties such as paraben silicone and is cruelty free!

This is a really lightweight moisturiser that really does control oil. I get oily patches on my skin and it gets unpleasant when I wake up to it. However ever since using this moisturiser it has really helped tone down the oiliness but keeps the life in my skin. You only need a very small amount and it soaks into the skin very quickly and well. It isn't very fragrant either which is a nice change from other moisturisers where the scent is so unnatural and overpowering. Overall a really pleasant moisturiser.

This product is amazing! I highly recommend it as it works extremely well for my oily skin type. It is said to be fast absorbing and able to provide a shine-free finish which I agree with completely. Also love the faint smell of vanilla!

I have never used a moisturiser which promised to control oil and leave a natural matte finish. Therefore, I did find the product quite different from prior moisturiser in that its consistency wasn't as opaque, thick or white. Initially I did not see much of change in my skin's hydration but after I used Essano's moisturiser with my previous one I did notice a more natural matte finish. I was happy to note that my skin wasn't being clogged by this product either. Little of this product was needed to cover my whole face which was great value but it is a lighter moisturiser. Like some of the other reviewers I did notice that the moisturiser was quick absorbing but felt a bit sticky after application so perhaps make a note of this before trying to apply other products to your face. My 'oilier' spots were definitely reduced by using this product and the other Essano Clear Complexion range.

This actually did what it says it would, oil control! I normally find my skin getting overly oily from using moisturizers but I had a noticeable decrease in my usually oily spots from only a few uses. Unfortunately, I didn't love the consistency or the feeling of my skin for awhile after using it (nor the smell so much) but it did what I hoped it would do! I just hope they look to further improve on this formula in the future. All in all something I would like to use regularly as part of my makeup routine and I would probably buy this again as well.

This was literally a party on my face. I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT. If you are a disgusting oil slick such as I, you will die and rise again when using this product. Dries FAST, need minimal amounts, moisturisesthe skin while drying off the oil! It’s magic!! You get a large amount of product considering the amount you actually use per use. Have hit the jackpot with this product!

Like the cleanser from this range, this comes in a simple plastic tube. You get 75ml of product, which actually seems quite little compared to most of my other moiturisers. Luckily you only need a tiny amount (like size of one pea) for your whole face.

Its texture is halfway between a cream and a gel, but it's definitely on the more solid side. Nonetheless it still spreads easily and is easy to pat into my face. It doesn't leave my face feeling greasy and it absorbs into my skin amazingly. Five minutes after applying this my face literally feels dry to the touch. There's none of that oilyness or light stickiness that some moiturisers leave. This feels 'dry' like I had just washed my face yet I feel moisturised. Magical stuff! Now this means that I can apply any makeup directly on top, and I don't have to worry about it feeling or looking oily. I hate the way foundation slides on top of sunscreen and most of my other moisturisers. But this is completely different! I'm loving how bare my face feels, and how well my foundation sits on my skin after applying this.

It seems to do a pretty good job of moisturising my face. And I think in conjunction with the other products from this range it is helping to control my everyday acne as well as help those monster pimples that crop up heal faster.

I really love this one! It comes in really cute and simply packaging. Love the colours. The smell of this product is delicious, so natural and sweet. It has a perfect consistency, just like any moisturiser. It applies well, you only need a small amount, so I’m sure it’s going to last a while. The only downside to this moisturiser is that it doesn’t have an SPF. I tend to use this one at night, and an SPF one during the day. My skin is noticeably less oily in the morning and I do believe that this product is an essential part of my routine.

This is probably one of my favourite moisturisers I have come across. 95.69% of the ingredients are of natural origin, it's cruelty free and made in NZ!

It has a really nice smell kind of like a subtle banana scent. It feels fresh when applied, and soaks in fast leaving skin nice a hydrated and yet it soaks up oil at the same time. It is amazing! The texture is somewhere between a cream and a gel. It has become such a staple in my routine, I love this moisturiser and will continue to use it and will probably buy more!
