essano Clear Complexion Purifying Gel Cleanser Review

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

I was sent this cleanser by BR as part of the complete Essano Clear Complexion range. I really like this cleanser. It has a gel texture and an interesting banana-ish smell (which I personally love) and feels nice on my skin.

I used this product religiously morning and night and I've had some great results. I usually break out each month on my chin and this month I have miraculously managed to avoid that! I would like to credit this cleanser and the whole range, actually, but I am sure there are many factors!

I love the smell, the simple packaging and the texture. I also love that the product is made up of great ingredients that aren't going to damage my skin in the long term. I would definitely recommend this product - although I will note that the texture is not necessarily for everyone (ie if you prefer more of a scrub or an oil cleanser).

This is such a beautiful range especially for oily acne prone skin. I trialed it on my teenager and myself as I have an oily T zone and 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 to break into.

My son didn't like the pink packaging it wasn't unisex, he thought it could be Orange.I loved the packaging it looks beautiful with silver and deep purple and pink it seems pretty and unassuming.

The cleanser rubbed in well it's like jelly and smells like caramelized honey, I thought it was good that it was soap free as sodium laurel sulphate strips the skin of oils, so it didn't foam like most soapy cleansers. It felt light and clean and removed all my waterproof makeup. It cleaned my sons skin very well 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 scientifically formulated and dermatological tested. It's free of nasties such as parabens, silicone and is soap free.

Holy heck I actually live for this stuff! I’m so glad it has come into existence :-) packaging is cute, does the job, removes makeup, is not heavily fragranced and does not dry out skin although reigns back the oil! I have noticed a huge difference in my oil production mainly on my forehead and bridge of nose. You only need a little bit of productnand it soaks in rapidly. Definitely do not used right before makeup application but let dry for a minute or two.

This is my new favourite little thing! Such cute and simple packaging. It has a lovely natural sweet smell. The cleanser has a great consistency and foams up a small amount when applied to the face. This makes it feel like it really is washing and getting into those pores. However, I must say it is very gentle on the skin.. I used it after getting sunburnt and it didn’t sting a bit! After use, it can make my skin feel quite dry, but in the morning, my skin is noticeably less oily. Another bonus to this product is the price!!

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 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.

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 really like this cleanser, it's very gentle and makes your skin feel really clean. Some cleansers can almost strip your skin and make it feel tight, but this one cleanses your skin so well without drying it out.

Often after cleansing my face I will virtually be gasping for a moisturiser, but this one kept me feeling soft and nourished.

I would recommend this to anyone with acne prone and/or dry-combo skin. It works so well on my skin, and doesn't break me out! A lot of texture on my face has been reduced and I think this cleanser has definitely helped. Like most of the other products in this line, I will be repurchasing when I run out!
