Essano is essential

This is such a beautiful range especially for oily acne prone skin. I trialed it on my teenager and myself as I have an oily T zone and I love the organic natural and botanical ingredients and also that it's made in New Zealand. The success lies in the supermarket mass marketing which is great for such a natural product to break into.

My son didn't like the pink packaging it wasn't unisex, he thought it could be Orange.I loved the packaging it looks beautiful with silver and deep purple and pink it seems pretty and unassuming.

The cleanser rubbed in well it's like jelly and smells like caramelized honey, I thought it was good that it was soap free as sodium laurel sulphate strips the skin of oils, so it didn't foam like most soapy cleansers. It felt light and clean and removed all my waterproof makeup. It cleaned my sons skin very well and after a few days of using this range his pimples had all vanished!

I love the fact that it is a bioDTox which means it's clinically proven to control sebum, detoxify and clean pores. Not only is it all natural but it's scientifically formulated and dermatological tested. It's free of nasties such as parabens, silicone and is soap free.

Tips: This range is not only great for teenagers or people with problem skin but it's also good for oily skin needing a detox and to help cleanse pores

Holy Grail!

Holy heck I actually live for this stuff! I’m so glad it has come into existence :-) packaging is cute, does the job, removes makeup, is not heavily fragranced and does not dry out skin although reigns back the oil! I have noticed a huge difference in my oil production mainly on my forehead and bridge of nose. You only need a little bit of productnand it soaks in rapidly. Definitely do not used right before makeup application but let dry for a minute or two.

Tips: 100% will be purchasing this again. I feel that this is a banger product and is the king of the range!!

My new favourite !

This is my new favourite little thing! Such cute and simple packaging. It has a lovely natural sweet smell. The cleanser has a great consistency and foams up a small amount when applied to the face. This makes it feel like it really is washing and getting into those pores. However, I must say it is very gentle on the skin.. I used it after getting sunburnt and it didn’t sting a bit! After use, it can make my skin feel quite dry, but in the morning, my skin is noticeably less oily. Another bonus to this product is the price!!

Clearer Complexion Yes Please

I received this cleanser as part of the Clear Complexion complete skin care regime. I was excited to try it as I love Gel Cleansers.

It goes on well and foams up tiny amount. It seems to do the trick with removing light makeup which is great. It has left my skin smoother and has definitely helped to reduct oil and shine in my T-Zone. It didn't smell too bad in comparison with some of the other products from this range although it did still take me a few days to get used to it. I would happily purchase this again as I have found it to be a suitable cleanser for my skin.

Tips: Use with the rest of the Clear Complexion range for premium results.

Hard to judge

This one is a little bit harder to judge because I just don't usually use cleansers.

But it had super cute packaging and is a good size.

I have used this quite a few times and I just don't know if it does anything extra for my skin. With using all the other products I can't tell if it does anything more. I skipped it a few times to see if it changed and it didn't effect the other products or how my skin felt after. So it makes it hard to review. But I do like the way it foams up and all together my skin feels so much better.

Essano Clear Complexion Purifying Gel Cleanser

Aleyah (15) really loved the gel cleanser I would see her every night cleansing away , happily doing so.

I don't think the Essano Clear Complexion range had a fragrance at all maybe slightly medicinal?

She said her skin felt smooth and clean , no tightness and her skin looks great!

She said it had a very mild bubbling action but the bubbles dissappeared quickly. She used a 20c coin sized squirt

Rinsing clean , no residue at all. Aleyah has really enjoyed using these products and recommends them to her friends.

Cleansed Beyond Belief!

At first I was sceptical about changing my current face-washing routine to use this cleanser as I was very happy with my Cetaphil. However, this cleanser has wowed me beyond belief! Thank you so much Beauty Review for giving me the chance to trial this product because it has changed my skin-care routine forever!

This cleanser is described as a gentle, soap-free product that will leave your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and non-greasy. Boy, does it deliver! I have never had a cleanser that seems to do everything it says it will, and more! Not only does my skin feel thoroughly cleansed without being dried out, but it also controls oil production, and as an added bonus, is the best makeup remover I've ever used!

I had no idea it would be so effective, but after a couple of uses, I stopped bothering to use my micellar water, and now only use this cleanser to remove my makeup. With only one wash, my skin is left feeling clean, controlled, and amazingly makeup free! I can't believe this cleanser can do all of this without making my skin feel dry, I never need to use another cleanser again!

Tips: You only need to use a small amount of cleanser because a lot goes a long way. To dissolve eye-makeup, gently rub in circles on your eyes until the makeup dissolves.

Great cleanser!!

I really like this cleanser, it's very gentle and makes your skin feel really clean. Some cleansers can almost strip your skin and make it feel tight, but this one cleanses your skin so well without drying it out.

Often after cleansing my face I will virtually be gasping for a moisturiser, but this one kept me feeling soft and nourished.

I would recommend this to anyone with acne prone and/or dry-combo skin. It works so well on my skin, and doesn't break me out! A lot of texture on my face has been reduced and I think this cleanser has definitely helped. Like most of the other products in this line, I will be repurchasing when I run out!

Tips: Use morning and night, follow with the other products in this line for best results.

Skin saviour

I received this in a goodie box from hoyts. It was one of their girl's night promotions and man am I ever so thankful I did!

I had been trailing a other cleanser over a w week period and my skin was in the worst condition after using it. Naturally I stopped using it and gave this one a go in hopes it'd clear my skin up and help stop any further break outs. Well what do you know?! It did!

First week of use I noticed my skin was left feeling smooth and hydrated by the second week my spots and blemishes had started to dissaper. By week three my skin had completely healed. By week 4 I had ran out haha.

Did I repurchase? You bet ya I did! Not for the fact that it just cleared my blemishes but I also noticed a slight glow and the texture to my face had really reduced significantly.

The gel or self is clear it's not super thick but there is a thickness to it which is nice. It matters easily and feels amazing on the skin. I had no irritation what so ever which is a massive bonus if you have sensitive skin like myself.

For $15 at your local supermarkets this is an affordable and great performing gel cleanser.

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.
