essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser

The essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy, keeping skin hydrated without the oil. It is the third and final step in this essano 3 step regime.

I have been using this moisturiser as part of my night time skincare routine, following cleansing and toning. After the toner dries on my skin, I take a little moisturiser on the tips of my fingers and rub it on my face with gentle circles.

It feels light to apply, and stays moist long enough to know when my face is covered, but dries pretty quick and leaves my skin feeling soft. Overall my skin has been feeling smooth and more balanced after trialling this regime, and I will continue to use it.

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 enjoyed using this product - nice easy pump system. Needed a few pumps to get enough to moisturiser to cover face. Consistency of the moisturiser was nice and smooth. Left my skin feeling nice and smooth after use. Will use again.

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!

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.

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!

This is a lovely little moisturiser, and a little goes a long way. It’s as described, non-greasy (which I love) and weightless. I love the way it feels on my skin. Does it significantly reduce the oiliness of my everyday skin? Sadly no, I barely saw any difference within an hour of application (and after using the cleanser and toner). Will I use it again? Yes, it is a great feeling moisturiser for my oily skin and it doesn’t make the oiliness worse! Also it’s easily available at the supermarket and affordable.

I reviewed the essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser along with the essano Oil Control Deep Pore Cleanser and the essano Oil Control Balancing Toner. The moisturiser has a pleasant smell, and a little bit goes a long way. It did make my skin feel very dry though - and not at all moisturised.

It is hard to judge how the toner worked in isolation, but as a package the products made my skin quite dry initially but didn't really work to reduce overall oiliness and I still had a few breakouts. I did read somewhere though that it can take over a month to "train" your skin to be less oily with these products - so I will give it more time.

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.
