I've used a few Essano products over the last couple of years, and I've always been happy with them.
This, though. It smells amazing!! It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth, is easy to apply and goes on under makeup, easy as.
The price point of Essano products is great, too!!
Highly recommend this oil.
Tips: A little goes a very, very long way!!
Love this oil!
It smells natural and is really silky and smooth. I found it rubbed in well and instantly smoothed my face.
The dry patches seemed to disappear as soon as it touched my skin. My skin after use felt very balanced - my oily t-zone was sorted out!
I think this is a great daily use product. It would be a great starter oil, or just a really nice addition to any skin routine.
Highly recommend.
I was sent a full sized 20ml dropper bottle of this Vitamin C facial oil as part of a Beauty Review Trail Team.
The splurb on Essano's website says: “Harnessing the power of the super source of Vitamin C Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate to nourish and boost skin radiance.

After cleansing and toning, apply 3-4 drops onto fingertips and gently pat onto face avoiding the eye area. Follow with your favourite essano moisturiser or night crème. Patch test before use. Vegan-friendly.”
Armed with that information, I was really keen to start using this facial oil to see if it could lighten the dark pigmentation spots on my cheeks. I know the box said to use morning and evening, but I've been told by a beautician before to avoid using Vitamin C products during the day, as it can react with sunlight, so I only applied this in the evenings, after cleansing and toning. Some nights, I'd apply my night cream over the top, if my skin was feeling particularly dry, but other nights, just using the facial oil was enough (I have oily skin). The oil is light and easily absorbed, unless too much is applied, then it can feel quite oily on the skin. Start off with two drops and then add another drop if needed.
After using this product every evening for two weeks, I think I can see an improvement in my skin. My skin is definitely more radiant and nourished, and the dark marks don't seem as prominent as they were before. My skin has always reacted to Essano's products, and I tend to get a breakout around my chin and along my jawbone every time I use Essano, but that didn't happen with this product, so I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to try a Vitamin C Facial Oil.
I took before and after photos and have put these up on the Photo Wall. The photos were taken in the same place with the same lighting, to try and show true effects of this oil.
Tips: I had a nasty fall and got a massive bruise for my efforts (20cm x 15cm – roughly the size of a splayed hand). I tried putting this facial oil on my bruise, as I'd read that Vitamin C helps with healing, and within a week, the bruising had started to change colour and fade – pics on the Photo Wall.
Having never used something like this on my face before I wasn't sure what to expect but I absolutely loved it. A small amount goes a long way and even when you first pat it on your skin you start to feel the difference with it feeling softer and clearer.
My skin tine became much more healthy and even looking as well as softer which in turn gave me a more healthier and youthful look.
I also enjoyed how I could easily insert it into my routine and as I loved the way my skin looked and felt after using it I was motivated to keep using it nd it is now permanently part of my my everyday routine.
Tips: I found it easier to do the droplets in the palm of my hand and use my palm as a type of "dish" to pat my finger tips in then put the oil on my face, leaving my forehead to last and pat my palm on to it to transfer the last of the oil to my face.
Well I was actually really sceptical, the initial fragrance was kind of fruity and I did think hmmmmm this is fake but the scent does not last long . I actually liked the scent in the end . It was like a little yum my skin is happy scent haha.
The bottle is clear to read and super easy to use , just press the dropper to suck up the oil and use 4 drops. Easy! So quick.
I wasn’t prepared for how thin the oil was and I did use way to much the first application. Which is absolutely fine as you can rub any excess into your hands and arms.
The oil does absorb really quick , it’s not super oily as I’d except with a thick facial oil . It certainly doesn’t give that oily ick I’ve got something on my face feeling .
My skin is smooth and bright , definitely a glow and I really love the results. There was no irritation what’s do ever . My skin was one with the oil.
I really love how glowing and feet my skin is.
I’ll definitely continue to purchase .
Tips: Use it all over face , neck and chest and also hands and arms . It’s amazing stuff!
Essano Vitamin C super glow facial oil is pretty amazing and up there with one of my top facial oils I have used. This oil absorbs into my skin with no trace of oil residue. I apply my face cream and makeup over the oil, my makeup stays in place all day unlike when I have used other oils.
The scent of this oil is beautiful and not over pouring.
Tips: The oil is very thin and runs quickly when you put straight onto your face be mindful and ready to quickly rub in.
I’ve used a vitamin C oil before, and loved it (another brand) but didn’t purchase a full sized bottle after I finished my trial sized one - mostly due to cost. So I was pretty excited to trial the Essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil.
With some nice packaging, clearly identifying it with the brand,in its signature rose pink, the compact, small brown bottle with a rubber and glass dropper fits nicely into my small bathroom cabinet. It will easily find a space in a toiletry bag also. Despite being small, this product goes a long way!
From day one, my skin just lapped up the goodness, within days of just using it in the evenings, I felt my bare face had a glow to it, something new for me. I started using 3-4 drops at night only, after serums or instead of serums - depending on my mood. I’d recently had a sensitivity to a retinol product, so I was wary of using a new product so soon, but I had no reaction to this product.
Once I was sure it wasn’t going to aggravate my skin, I also started applying it in the morning most days. During warmer weather, my skin can become an oils slick before morning tea time, so winter is the perfect time to see how my skin will cope with the oil. I did restrict it to 2 drops in the morning, just in case. I needn’t have worried. It sits well under my usual lightweight moisturiser and I didn’t notice any excess oil during the day, nor when I take my make up off in the evening.
I’ve not looked at the price of this product yet, I’ve still got about 2/3rds of the bottle left - I’m pleased with how long the product is lasting. It’s going to be a keeper in my routine now! I’m pretty sure this brand has some great, affordable price points, so I’m sure I won’t have to sacrifice another product to add this item into my daily regime!
My fave thing about this product is the scent. Smells good enough to eat, BUT DON’T! Just a gentle waft of orange to stimulate your senses, and the scent compliments my other scented body probducts
Tips: Don’t squeeze the dropper too hard, the product comes out quickly. Don’t fill the dropper with too much product, until you get used to the pressure you need to squeeze out precisely 3-4 drops. Anymore will be a waste!
I have now been using this face oil for quite a while now, and I love it! The consistency is great so you do not use to much, smells like freshly peeled oranges! Which I think is so yummy, gives you a nice spring feel! It feels amazing on, and can be used in its own, totally recommend to try it out x
Tips: A little goes a long way so do not over do it, your face will be very shiny not glowing x
Absolutely love, I’m so glowy after using for just a week! Helped clear up acne and took away my puffness
Tips: Hold oil tip downwards to be able to use x
essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil
I was super excited to try this facial oil as it promised to boost skin radiance and brighten dull skin. When you're over 45, you'll take all the help you can get in this regard!
Enriched with eight oils and extracts, I knew this low-irritation oil would be good for my skin, especially as it's winter and my skin is more prone to dullness over the colder months. It's a common complaint, I guess. I hear a lot of women talk about skin dullness over winter...
The oil comes packaged in a cute pink and orange box, with gold essano lettering. It suits the brand, and 'Made in New Zealand' is written clearly at the bottom of the box, along with the essano promise of no parabens and other similar nasties in the product.
As per the main instructions, I applied 3-4 drops of the oil on to my fingertips and gently patted it on to my face, avoiding the delicate eye area. One small criticism I could make at this point is that the oil comes out a little too abundantly - you need to be careful that those 3-4 drops placed on your fingertips don't become more like puddles! A minor criticism, but worth mentioning. However, despite that, if I ended up accidentally putting more on my face, it gave it even more of a healthy glow - so it wasn't a problem for me to use more of it than the stated amount.
It also smells divine! I don't know what oil/extract I'm smelling when I use it, perhaps it's a combo of all the oils and extracts used in this product or just the result of one in particular. Whatever the case, the fragrance is lovely and makes me even more keen to use it!
You apply it in the morning and evening - after cleansing and toning your face. I've been using the oil for around six days now, as part of my morning and nightly skincare regime.
The first thing I noticed is that it made my skin glow! Not in a traffic-light neon kind of way (thankfully!), but just in a healthy, slightly shiny way. It definitely gives my skin a radiance boost, which is what essano said it would do!
And now, after having used this oil for about six days as part of my overall skincare regime, I have definitely noticed a boost in overall radiance and brightness. Also my skin feels smoother and less dry. It's nourishing and caring - all the good words I can think of apply here! The product really does do what it sets out to do, I've had no side effects and I enjoy using it! Tick, tick, tick.
So, I have no qualms in recommending this product to others. It's NZ made, it's gentle and kind to the skin and it achieves results. And I think it'd suit people of all ages - not just my age group.
If you factor it into your overall skincare regime, you won't be disappointed. Five kisses.
Tips: Be careful with the dropper, otherwise you can accidentally use more than the stated amount! This wasn't a problem for me, as I loved the feel and look of this product once on my face, but it's worth noting anyway as the oil can come out a little too quickly and abundantly. Be careful with this. Just a minor point...
