Light a bright

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.

Matt Free - YES PLEASE

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!

Tips: One pump is enough for your whole face

Oil Free Moisturiser

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.

Tips: Apply as the last step in your skincare routine. Start with cleanser and toner Oil Control Niacinamide Range. Apply a single pump direct into your palm and evenly distribute all over face and neck, avoiding eye area. Go as you are with shine free skin or Apply your makeup look over top.

For best results use morning and evening.

Best for oily skins.

A nice non oily alternative

I found this to be a really great basic moisturiser, not too rich and definitely more matte. I had no oil issues during the day with shininess.

While this is a great base for makeup as so smoothing, I probably would prefer something richer for winter. It is quite thin, and I found myself using a lot more than usual. It also has a nice clean smell to it.

Tips: I feel this is more of a summer holiday moisturiser!

Essano Oil Control Moisturiser

I found this moisturiser really enjoyable to use. It really does what it says. Feels very hydrating on the skin, its very light weight - I wouldn't say it feels like a gel lotion as such but just a thinner more light weight moisturiser, it's not thick and doesn't feel heavy. Relaxing and refreshing to use, I have been using this after cleansing and toning without fail and I am really liking it. I will be rebuying, it is super affordable and a really great product at that. My face is feeling smoother (I am using the whole regime also). Personally I am still getting my standard oily T zone, slightly better but not miraculously better it is definitely still happening - I have been using it a week so fingers crossed it will continue to improve, but an otherwise great product and would recommend.

Tips: Use after Cleansing and toning, potentially a serum in between if your skin wants it. I use about one and a half pumps personally and that is enough for my face and neck and even a little on the back of my hands.

Non-greasy, calming moisturiser

While I will probably go back to using my Drunk Elephant or Glamglow moisturisers, I was very impressed with this Essano moisturiser as more of a drug-store, affordable range skin care product. It was soothing and pleasant and didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. Great for morning and night use and I could definitely feel that my skin had soaked it up overnight. The scent was light and pleasant and the packaging made it nice and easy to use. Would definitely recommend it as an affordable moisturiser option

Love the pump!

First off I love this pump bottle! I am so over moisturisers coming in pottles or tubes. Give me a hygienic, easy to dispense pump bottle anyday!

This is very light and a slightly weird texture compared to your usual lotion, but it is lovely to use and does absorb quickly with no residue.

It is immediately effective at mattifying skin, although that mattification (not a word!) didn't quite last all day for me. But it got me through the work day so that's the main thing.

I find it very hydrating and smoothing and it definitely doesn't clog pores - my t-zone is pretty much blackhead/clogged pore-free after 2 weeks of use.

The only reason this isn't a 5 star product for me is that it doesn't mattify all day, but other than that, I really enjoy it and would recommend!!

Love it

Love the formula, keeps my combination skin hydrated and non greasy all day. The pump dispenser is a bonus, gives out a good amount to cover face and neck.

Tips: Wait for a few minutes before layering SPF on top

Really hydrating without being greasy

This is a good little moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated without greasy and shiny. SPF would be a great added ingredient but otherwise it does the job. I do like that it sinks into my skin without just sitting on the top. It works quite well under makeup too. I love that there doesn’t seem to be any added fragrance. I will continue to use and would definitely recommend to anyone with oiler skin.
