essano Clear Complexion Purifying Gel Cleanser Review

I received this cleanser as part of the Clear Complexion complete skin care regime. I was excited to try it as I love Gel Cleansers.

It goes on well and foams up tiny amount. It seems to do the trick with removing light makeup which is great. It has left my skin smoother and has definitely helped to reduct oil and shine in my T-Zone. It didn't smell too bad in comparison with some of the other products from this range although it did still take me a few days to get used to it. I would happily purchase this again as I have found it to be a suitable cleanser for my skin.

This cleanser quite simply, does the job. It comes in a pretty tube which allows for easy dispensing of a small amount of product. It spreads easily, but doesn't lather. The ingredients list is different to many others as it is very clear what it contains - think broccoli, aloe vera and rosemary. This isn't a luxury product and the scent reflects this, but the price does also. This could be a great product for teenagers first being introduced to skincare, or for anyone looking for an affordable, easy to find cleanser.

How does this fit into my routine? I use an oil cleanser and cloth in the evening to remove makeup before using the Essano purifying gel cleanser. After finishing this trial I will return to my previous cleanser in the evening, but will continue to use the Essano cleanser in the mornings. The most noticeable difference that it made to my skin is reducing oil, making it perfect for morning use. This isn't a magical, life-changing product but it certainly works. A cleanser is only on my skin for a matter of seconds, so I'm looking for it to do what it claims and nothing more - that is exactly what the Essano cleanser achieves.

This one is a little bit harder to judge because I just don't usually use cleansers.

But it had super cute packaging and is a good size.

I have used this quite a few times and I just don't know if it does anything extra for my skin. With using all the other products I can't tell if it does anything more. I skipped it a few times to see if it changed and it didn't effect the other products or how my skin felt after. So it makes it hard to review. But I do like the way it foams up and all together my skin feels so much better.

I enjoyed this cleanser, it was defintely one of my favourites from the Essano collection. My face didn't feel dry after using it which was a nice change from other acne washes I've used. Its smell was similar to some of the others so plesant enough but I wouldn't say the I loved it. I like the natural ingredients that they have used in it but it may not have been as effective as other acne clearing face washes. I have enjoyed using it but I don't think I'd buy it again.

This comes in conveniently sized tub. It is a clear consistency, and has a herbal smell. It doesn't foam very well, and doesn't seem to remove makeup very well. I found that it helped to remove surface oil and did an okay job at cleaning.

It's a good cleanser but by no means amazing. I would use again, but wouldn't rush to repurchase

I really liked this cleanser because it's just a basic gel face wash but it's thick, goes a long way and smells like herbs. It's described as a soap-free product but it still lathers up nicely despite this. I feel like it cleaned by skin well - effectivly washing off the day's grime. I used it in the morning and in the shower at night, before applying the serum and moisturiser, and it didn't dry my skin out. It's a very basic product but I mean how complicated can a gel cleanser get? The packaging is super cute and feels nice to handle. Overall I am happy with this product and will continue to use it.

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. It is packaged in a cute white and pink tube which is pretty easy to open/close and easy to control the amount of product that comes out. The smell is a natural sort of herby and fresh kind of smell which I didn’t find too unpleasant. I found I didn’t need too much product to cover my whole face. The cleanser applies really smoothly, however doesn’t really foam up or anything but I didn’t mind that. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry, tight or stripped of nutrients, which I really liked. It was nice and gentle- my skin had absolutely no reactions whatsoever which was great! My skin felt clean, smooth and fresh after using this. I did find that my skin has become clearer and less red after using this for four weeks. I don’t have particularly oily skin (mine is more dry), however at times it can get oily in the T-zone, which I had noticed kind of went away with using this cleanser. I have also had less breakouts since using this, I still got a few odd pimples here and there, but it was mostly controlled. For $15 it’s a pretty good cleanser and does it’s job well!

Aleyah (15) really loved the gel cleanser I would see her every night cleansing away , happily doing so.

I don't think the Essano Clear Complexion range had a fragrance at all maybe slightly medicinal?

She said her skin felt smooth and clean , no tightness and her skin looks great!

She said it had a very mild bubbling action but the bubbles dissappeared quickly. She used a 20c coin sized squirt

Rinsing clean , no residue at all. Aleyah has really enjoyed using these products and recommends them to her friends.

At first I was sceptical about changing my current face-washing routine to use this cleanser as I was very happy with my Cetaphil. However, this cleanser has wowed me beyond belief! Thank you so much Beauty Review for giving me the chance to trial this product because it has changed my skin-care routine forever!

This cleanser is described as a gentle, soap-free product that will leave your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and non-greasy. Boy, does it deliver! I have never had a cleanser that seems to do everything it says it will, and more! Not only does my skin feel thoroughly cleansed without being dried out, but it also controls oil production, and as an added bonus, is the best makeup remover I've ever used!

I had no idea it would be so effective, but after a couple of uses, I stopped bothering to use my micellar water, and now only use this cleanser to remove my makeup. With only one wash, my skin is left feeling clean, controlled, and amazingly makeup free! I can't believe this cleanser can do all of this without making my skin feel dry, I never need to use another cleanser again!

I love how this range is organic. The packaging is so cute!

I also find that it’s handy having the bottle upside down as you don’t need to force the product to the other end.

It’s quite a thick gel almost but once you start to massage it into your skin it foams slightly.

It doesn’t have a strong smell to it which is good as some perfumes can irritate my skin. I feel like my skin is squeaky clean after I use this. It’s also great at removing make up!!

A little goes a very long way and it’s quite easy to accidentally squeeze too much out
