essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser

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 picked this up from my last beauty vault haul . I ran out of my moisturiser and thought I would give this one a try .

Comes in pump bottle easy to read labelling . Feels light creamy has a mild scent to it herbal . Not overpowering at all . I like to cleanse and tone beforehand. Afterwards I apply this moisturiser and it glides on perfectly. No oily residue left behind . My skin feels hydrated and clean.

Perfect moisturiser for someone with normal to oily skin . Not really for someone with dry skin . Overall it’s affordable and easily accessible. Two ticks in my books

I used this as the final step in my cleaning regime before bed and can honestly say I didnt like it. It felt very thick and heavy on my face and just made my face feeling very icky. A little went a long way with this product but I feel like if this is meant to be an oil free product it should probably feel alot lighter as is what I've found using different brands of oil free moisturizer.

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 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.

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 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!

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!

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.
