Relaxing and refreshing

It is so refreshing on my skin and cleanses it well, the gel is easy to apply and hydrates the skin.

essano Clear Complexion Purifying Gel Cleanser 

I adore this cleanser!! It is my go morning cleanser and I saw improvements to my skin within such a short time period. I have re purchased this cleanser already and find it is still doing wonders for my skin. It's a very light cleanser that is easy to wash off and leaves my skin feeling refreshed.

Not my favourite

I was given this cleanser to try by a friend, and unfortunately I'm underwhelmed. After a few weeks to a month of using I found no improvements in the breakouts I was trying to deal with and it made my face feel dry straight after washing. The dryness was fixable with toner and moisturiser, but without seeing any improvement over many other cleansers I wasn't keen on continuing.

Amazing

This cleanser is amazing, it leaves my skin feeling clean without irritating my skin as other cleansers have. It also helps to clear my skin when I have breakouts combined with the toner, moisturiser and spot gel in this range.

My favourite

I've been using this cleanser for two years and i love it. It is a gel rather than creme. It comes in a squeezey tube which i like as it is slightly more hygienic. The smell is also very nice. I have combination skin and this cleanser defiantly helps to control oil. I use it with the toner and moisturiser from the same range but that is not a must.

Not for my skin type

I purchased this ages ago along with the matching moisturiser. It comes in a 100 ml squeezy tube in white and pink colouring like the rest of the clear complexion range.

It is a thick, clear gel and does not lather up much at all. It has a subtle scent which smells quite herbal. I don't find it offensive at all. My skin is dry and unfortunately for me this is just far too drying on my skin even though it says it replenishes moisture and does not strip the skin.

I feel like it doesn't do a good job at removing my bb cream or foundation so you really need to go in with another cleanser or balm to start with then use this. For my skin type it is not suitable but other ladies seem to love it so if you have oily skin this is probably better suited for you.

Like It Enough..

I like the Essano brand so do make a point to try out a lot of their products as they are easily accessible for repurchase at supermarkets, use natural ingredients and don't test on animals. I picked this one up online in a sale.

Squeezey tube type packaging that is white with rose pink that matches the rest of the Clear Complexion range. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It is herbal and unique, not offensive per se but I don't particularly like it.

I have oily skin so did notice that it balances my skin without leaving it dry which is a bonus as some products can leave my skin feeling like the sahara desert.

I like it enough that I will finish using it and may repurchase on sale but it is not something that I would actively seek out.

Clearly a winning formula

I have been using this wash for about a year now, and I am currently on my second tube. It has completely changed my early-thirties skin- I feel like I am about to jinx it but, honestly, I used to have acne all the time and now I just get the occasional hormonal breakout. I does feel dry after washing but I use the accompanying moisturiser after this (seriously good). It has BioDTox (tm) which cleans pores and keeps sebum levels at a healthy level. It has rosemary leaf in it and other certified organic ingredients. It definitely smells fresh and natural- a little like tea tree oil (actually has green tea leaf extract in it). This clever cleanser has confirmed my faith in natural (this is 96.6% natural origin of total) skincare- I am a total convert.

Tips: use with the Essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser. This addresses the post-wash dryness.

Essano clear complexion cleanser

Wow. I had to buy this after reading all the good reviews because I have oily acne prone skin. Love the smell. I also like how you only need a tiny bit because it foams up quite well. I have noticed an improvement in my skin, it has cleared up little acne bumps that I had a around my temples and jaw so good for texture. I always like to use a makeup remover first before cleansing. This is my favourite cleanser, the best I have tried for acne prone skin an is now my go to cleanser.

Tips: Remove all makeup first to get better results.
