essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser Review

I love natural products, as they usually seem to work with my sensitive skin, and am always on the hunt for more, so this product was right up my alley. The packaging is similar to those in the range- white and pink with some silver. This came in a tube and was easy to open/close and control the amount of product that came out. The smell, again was not similar to any of the others in the range, a sweet vanilla-ish scent and more subtle than the serum. The texture was really smooth, it wasn’t a creamy type of moisturizer, it was more like a mix of a cream and a gel kind of consistency. It spread really easily and smoothly and absorbed quickly. However, I didn’t find that this added much moisture to my skin- after it had absorbed my skin still felt a bit dry or like it needed something else to hydrate it. My skin is more dry than oily though, so this may be why my skin felt like this and I probably need a more hydrating or nourishing moisturizer. That said, my skin did feel smooth, it just didn’t feel quite moisturized if that makes sense. I did find that the places I do get oily (like my T-zone) were less oily after using this for the past 4 weeks. My skin is also sensitive and I found that I didn’t get any adverse reactions or irritations! I have found my skin to be clearer and I have had less breakouts since using this! As I do have more dry skin, this may not be the moisturizer for my skin type, but it has helped contribute to making my skin clearer!

I trialled this moisturiser when BR gave me the whole Essano Clear Complexion range to try!

This product has an interesting scent (fruity baby food is how I've described it to friends) and an interesting (almost lumpy) texture. That might not be for everyone but I actually really like it. It's definitely different from other moisturisers that I've used.

I like to use a moisturiser under my makeup each day. This moisturiser is really good for that as it doesn't stick to my foundation or clump like I've had with other brands. I will say that when it's sinking into your skin, it does give off a little bit of that "tight" feeling, but it has only been a fleeting feeling for me and otherwise it's felt great all day long!

I would recommend this moisturiser as a great everyday moisturiser that is made up of great ingredients. :)

This moisturizer was really nice, although it wasn't anything spectacular, I think its a nice moisturizer that is easily available and I would use this again.

The moisturizer comes in a basic squeeze tube. But it matches the rest of the line and is quiet pretty.

The moisturizer itself is a thick gel formula, I found that did need a little more of this than my typical moisturizer. This was really lightweight on the skin and did absorb quickly. I found my skin was sufficiently moisturized and it did help control my oil. Overall I think this is a very nice moisturizer and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good supermarket moisturizer.

Honestly, there's not much to say about this! It's a moisturiser, a little too thin for my skin's dry patches, but it'll be nice and light for super hot days. It does feel a touch too watery to lock in any moisture on the skin, but seeing as it's designed for oily skin then this probably won't be an issue for most people. I never buy products marketed solely on the fact that they're ~natural~ and no ~harsh chemical sulphates~ because literally everything is a chemical. This product isn't any more special than other moisturisers I've tried. The only thing I haven't seen yet in a moisturiser is the inclusion of probiotic lysate (Lactobacillus ferment,) which is actually beneficial and based in solid science, and makes sense. Yay science!

My skin felt soft after use but definitely not moisturised, and needed rehydration throughout the day - so it wasn't my favourite. I much prefer my Clean and Clear moisturiser, but I'll finish the tube of this as the days get hotter.

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 .
