Omg I absolutely love this oil! I first used it in the trial pack, and it fast became one of my favorite things from there. Despite being made from turmeric, the smell is quite faint and it doesn't leave a weird yellow tint on your skin. I thought it was weird putting oil on my face after cleansing but it actually made it so much clearer! I tell everyone about this because I love it so much.

Tips: A little goes a long way! I warm it up in my palms before applying to my face and feel it soaks in so much better.
I first tried this in the mini version available in the Essano Superfoods sampler box and loved it so much I purchased the full size version! The product comes in a box that's nearly twice the size of the bottle inside, so don't be fooled by the large packaging, it is a very tiny bottle for the price (although worth it!). The oil comes in a brown glass bottle with a white dropper for dispensing the product. The oil itself is yellow in colour with a very strong turmeric aroma. I found a little of the oil went a long way, so this oil lasted me ages, so it is worth the price tag. The oil absorbed quickly into my skin, and always left it feeling very soft and hydrated, without adding to my skin's oiliness. I have naturally quite oily skin and often face oils make that situation worse, but this oil stopped my skin from producing so much oil, and left my face feeling a lot smoother. The oil illuminates incredibly well, it leaves my skin glowing all day, even when used under make up, the glow comes through the foundation. I really like mixing this with my foundation as I find it helps my foundation blend better and I would get an even glowier result. I find this improves the overall appearance of my skin; it is softer, smoother, glowing, and has less redness. Overall, this is a great supermarket gem and I would happily use it again!
Tips: Mix with your foundation to use it like a face illuminator
This oil was my favourite product out the mini gift set. It was subtle but it really added moisture and softness to my skin and I will definitely be adding this product to my skin care routine. It's not thick like coconut oil, so it doesn't clog my pores and still gives that layer of moisture my dry skin needs. The smell if very natural which confirms that it is truly made from natural ingredients. I also have sensitive skin and this product did not irritate it at all.
I honestly noticed a difference in my skin the first time I used it! I have dry skin and overnight it made my skin feel and look hydrated, brighter and glowy. It does not smell strongly of tumeric it is pleasant and it doesn't tint my face yellow so I could use it in the morning if I wanted to. The dropper is really good and you can get exactly how much you want I use about 3 drops for my whole face.
Tips: I put the oil on my fingers and warm it between my hands and then press and pat it into my face. I find this way it absorbs better and more evenly.
After having tried Essano’s amazing kale oil, I was double excited to try this one out. The oil had a spicy gingery scent to it, Which took me a little while to get use to. Although, the scent doesn’t linger for long, i don’t wear it during the day if planning on going out, in case the smell gets a bit disturbing for those with a super sense of smell. So i treat my skin with this in the evening before bed.
The oil was not as hydrating or nourishing as i thought most oils would be. Although it wasn’t nourishing enough for my dehydrated skin, my face did appear brighter and calmer. The oil was soothing and the scent was quite relaxing. So i started using it every second day after the kale one to ensure my face is still nicely nourished, or when my face looks a bit pinky or exhausted.
I have tried it under my bb cream before, and my complexion did seem brighter and had a more radiant look to it.
Overall, the unique scent is either you like it or you don’t. Probably no surprises for those who have already smelled turmeric before. It’s not a bad oil. Give it a go if you’ve never had turmeric before.
I've never used a skin oil before and it made no sense to me to wash my face then put oil back on it. But I did and it was wonderful!
I used it at night after cleansing with the cinnamon gel cleanser and then followed with the kale night cream. My skin looked so calm and dewy in the morning. No uneven skintones or blotchyness. Plus it smells pretty good too.
I didn't find it to be oily either, and my skin absorbed it right away. Loved it!
Tips: Use only a drop on each cheek, chin and forehead. Be aware that it will run down your face so you need to be quick.
Nice on my skin, hydration and softness as a result. I use this at night time. A lovely product honestly. The price drew me in.
I love this oil but I cannot find in Nelson anymore, if anyone knows where to get it please let me know. I got this from a friend in a birthday package and I love how weightless the oil is, easily absorbed even under make up. My skin responded really well to this and was more vibrant, plump, glowy and healthy looking.
By now it should be obvious to readers that I am a big Essano fan, and I also love serums and oils. This oil is no exception. It comes in a small dropper bottle - easy to use and no fuss which I love.
The product is a thick pale gold oil. It drops onto my skin and absorbs immediately, leaving a soft glowy feel and look to my skin. The scent is gorgeous, kind of botanical but also it reminds me of my childhood, and it is warm and soothing.
I like to use oils for applying a warm glow to my skin when I don't have make up on, and this one is lovely and doesn't look greasy on my face.
It is $24 for a 20ml bottle, which seems fair for a fabulous oil. Definitely worth trying for facial oil fans.
I loved this oil that much that I was super disappointed when I ran out. This has become one of my favourite oils because it gave such good results. Have been waiting to get my hands on it again but will have to wait until the lockdown has been lifted as The Warehouse is not open.
I noticed my skin became more glowy and hydrated. It looked healthy and my foundation went on so much better.
It came in a wee bottle with a dripper which I really appreciate because it's so user friendly and you can control how much comes out.
It has a slight scent to it but not overly strong like I thought it would due to it being Turmeric. It's not yellow either which was a relief as I was worried I would be walking around with yellow skin.
It's a really good oil and super affordable. Highly recommend.
