Eh, It's Ok

There are pros and cons to this product, however none stand out enough from each other to make me love it or hate it. I like the packaging of this blemish control gel, it has a wee nozzle head which allows you to get a good amount for what you need. You do not need heaps, a little goes a long way. It doesn't smell too bad which is a nice change from some of the other products in this Clear Complexion range.

It wasn't a stand out for me, I think it did help to shorten the cycle of my breakouts and maybe helped to reduce the size of my spots, but it did not work to the level I had hoped.

This worked - and without burning my skin off!

It is refreshing to see a blemish gel that isn't a bottle of salicylic acid. My skin was particularly clear whilst trialling this range so I didn't have a lot of use for this product; however, I did use it on one blemish and it significantly reduced the redness. It was a lot less harsh than other products (no tingling or clinical smell) and didn't leave a residue or white mark. These factors would make it a great option for teenagers with blemishes who are new to skincare or anyone looking for a more natural, gentle yet effective option.

Good for acne prone skin.

Initial thought was super cute packaging and the sizing was decent.

I personally found that I didn't really use the product as much as others might o actually had a good skin month this month. But I did use it on one or 2 small imperfections and noticed they cleared up within like 24 hours of applying the gel. I did find it a little bit drying around the area but I just followed it up with moisturizer and it was all better.

I think this product would be perfect for people with acne prone skin as long as they follow it up with the moisturizer

Tips: Use moisturizer in conjuction with it.

Not bad

I've never been too confident in blemish gells - do they actually work?? Well this one did a decent job. Of the pimples that I got over the course of using the Essano Collection I'd say that they cleared up quicker than if I hadn't put anything on them at all. Not too much quicker but not bad. I was glad that there wasn't really a smell and the packaging was quite cute. The tube was good for application but if you squeezed too hard it would get pretty messy.

Rapid Action Blemish Gel

This gel comes in a 15ml tube with a screw-off cap. The first time I used this it came out a bit much and a bit fast and I learnt you have to be a little careful when squeezing the product out! It's a clear, smooth gel that has a really nice fresh sort of smell - that reminds me of cinnamon and baking products.

The product itself is amazing! As someone who breaks out frequently, I was so excited to try this product and it did not disappoint! I used this set before bed, and I felt like the first night I used this my spots disappeared overnight! While using this set I didn't break out or have many blemishes or spots, but when I noticed the start of a spot I applied this product and my spots never turned into anything ugly.

Very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it!

Tips: Recommend!

Okay blemish gel

I like the packaging of the gel. It comes in a similar packaging to the other products. The scent is most tolerable of the range. It comes out in a clear gel and I usually apply it at night.

It's non-sticky and I feel that it helps to calm inflammation and makes my blemishes go away faster. I do like it and I would repurchase!

I'm Undecided!

This 'rapid action' blemish gel didn't act as fast as I thought it would because my pimples didn't look very different after applying it to them after a few days, but then on one instance when I popped two pimples then applied the gel they both didnt flare up red despite me just attacking them. It claims to visibly reduce the appearance of inflammation and redness, so yes it did indeed! Maybe this gel sort of freezes pimples in their place before they get any worse. It's antibacterial and contains Salicylic Acid so i'm sure it's good for blemishes anyway. The packaging is cute and small because a spot treatment doesn't need to be massive, but I think that it should be cheaper than $15.99 because I would not pay that much. Overall I was happy to use this blemish gel but I don't think that it's a miracle product.

Tips: Apply it to freshly popped pimples to reduce redness.

Great fast acting blemish gel

This is by far the most effective blemish gel I have ever used! Usually blemish gels don't really work all that well for me, but this one surprised me.

It doesn't have a scent (nothing that I can smell anyway), and when you put it on your pimples, it doesn't sting. That's something I appreciate because a lot of other blemish gels I have tried sting quite a bit.

I find that if I apply this gel to affected areas, the swelling goes down significantly overnight, and you can see a difference the next day.

You don't need to use much at all, and it spreads out quite well. I LOVE that this product, along with the rest of the range, is very natural and cruelty free. The fact that it meets my ethical standards and it works makes me very happy! I believe it's also very affordable which is amazing. I am so happy with this product, when it runs out I'll definitely be buying another tube.

Tips: Dab on a small amount to affected areas, making sure to use a different finger for each blemish, and try not to touch the actual applicator to prevent spreading of bacteria.

Bye Bye Blemishes

I don’t use a lot of blemish gels like these, so was really excited to give this a go! This has a similar colour scheme to the rest of the range, white and pink with a bit of silver. It has a little pointed tip that the product comes out of- it’s quite small which minimizes the amount that comes out, as only a small amount is needed! It smelt subtle and natural and herby. The texture is a gel and it applies really easily to the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or leave any residue or anything after it’s been applied. I used this on all the odd pimples that popped up and found that it took about a day or two to reduce the redness and then another day or two after that to minimize the pimple. I thought that this was pretty good, being able to start clearing my pimples in about 3-4 days. It also didn’t dry out my skin and didn’t really cause any scarring or anything to be left behind which I really liked! It didn’t irritate or cause my sensitive skin to react at all which I really liked- I was worried it might cause some kind of reaction or redness, but it didn’t. I thought this was effective and not bad for $16! I would probably repurchase this.

Tips: Only a small amount is needed!

Spot Blaster

I love the simplistic packaging and how it is an organic product.

It doesn't have a horrible chemical smell and feel. It didn't dry out my skin or burn which is great!

I (luckily) didn't have many spots to try this out on but, on the couple that I did get I found that they disappeared virtually the next day!

I would definitely keep this one handy.

It worked really well with the rest of the Essano skincare I trialled

Tips: A little really goes a long way, you only need a small amount on the affected area
