essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser

I trialed the Oil Control oil-free moisturiser from Essano. The moisturiser comes in a plastic bottle with a pump. I used three pumps each time I used it - morning and night. The moisturiser is exactly as described; it's nice and light and definitely non-greasy. I really liked this moisturiser as it hydrated my skin but didn't feel like it was clogging my pores or making my skin greasy and shiny. I found it easy to apply make up over this moisturiser. I would use this one again, it's a great everyday moisturiser. I'd love a version of this with a sunscreen added!

First impressions of the packaging was it was cute and typical of essano branding. It is clear what it's for and what it does and that it is a 3pc bundle system.

The smell of the moisturiser is only slightly rose scented, so has almost no smell to it which I like. I used the moisturiser both morning and night but needed 3 pumps to get enough product to nicely cover face and neck/chest. It is white in color and is a medium thickness cream that is easy to spread onto the skin and soaks in quite quickly. It left my skin feeling fresh and silky smooth.

I also noticed a very big difference in the oil my T zone had after a week of using this system and a possible reduction in pore size so it definitely seems to do what in claims to do.

I would definitely recommend this moisturiser and the system to anyone that experiences excess oil to give it a go, its well priced and easy to get in the supermarket with your groceries so give it a whirl!

I love that this moisturiser doesn't feel greasy AT ALL. A lot of "oil free" moisturisers still leave a film on my skin afterwards. This one actually doesn't! That said, my skin doesn't feel incredibly hydrated. Like it isn't dry at all, but it almost feels like I haven't put moisturiser on haha.

The scent is mild. Smells ever so slightly like the cleanser (which lowkey smells like window cleaner..) but is definitely tolerable and the scent doesn't linger at all

But I enjoy that it is lightweight, leaves no greasy film and has a mild scent. Still recommend checking it out next time you're at the supermarket. Especially if you have super oily skin.

Really enjoy using this moisturiser. It goes on so light snd isn't thick and grungy. The scent is pleasant and not over powering at all. My skin feels great and I can definitely see less shine and less oil. Not 100% gone but a lot better. I think this is a great middle of the road product.

An oil free moisturiser that actually hydrates?!! You've found it with this product. I'm all about that skincare life. I love trying new things that help me look my best self. I wear make up most days and because of my oily t-zone, at the end of the day my foundation looks like an oily mess. The past few days of using this face cream seemed to make my foundation last a lot longer than it usually does. So when this face creams claims to control sebum for a matt, shine-free finish all day....it does. My face was so incredibly soft after using this face cream - all only from using one pump as well. As I write this review I had previously put on the face cream about 9 hours ago, and my skin is still soft to the touch and I can also confirm my t-zone is not oily at all.

I would use this again!

This moisturiser is very light and absorbs quickly into the skin. The smell is pleasant and fresh.

A great product for very oily to mildly oily skins, Niacinamide helps keep the shine from oily skin at bay. The lightweight formula keeps skin hydrated throughout the day. Skin is left feeling smooth and ready for applying makeup over the top.

The packaging allows for no mess application and pumps out just the right amount to moisturise your whole face and neck.

Proudly made in NZ is always a selling point for me and it's affordable for those on a budget.

all this range are super good ,it feels matte on face and does control the oil for a quite log time ,i realy love this .

I used this as the final step in my cleaning regime before bed and can honestly say I didnt like it. It felt very thick and heavy on my face and just made my face feeling very icky. A little went a long way with this product but I feel like if this is meant to be an oil free product it should probably feel alot lighter as is what I've found using different brands of oil free moisturizer.

Nice smelling moisturizer, its light and spreads easily, the fragrance is not overpowering and it sets into the skin really quickly so its great for the morning when you want to get your make-up on fast and don't want to wait for your moisturizer to settle. I liked using this in the morning but prefer a heavier moisturizer for the evening. The pump is convenient to use however the dark packaging is annoying that you can't see how much is left in there- being a cruelty free product is a big win in my eyes. I'm in my mid 30s and have sensitive, oily skin and this hasn't made me break out or caused any redness which is great!

I was excited to try this oil control oil free moisturizer as I’m starting to find my skin just getting a bit oiler especially around the t zone. Using this cream I found my skin seemed quite dry, initially I thought right it’s going to balance it out but it didn’t it just felt dry all day like it was lacking moisture which maybe it was keeping the oil away but after two to three days of feeling like that I was a bit hesitant it feels better now so maybe it is a case of resetting your skin?? It’s definately a nice lightweight cream and has no scent so it would be good for those who want something quite simple and affordable. The jury is still out for me.
