essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser

Really enjoy using this moisturiser. It goes on so light snd isn't thick and grungy. The scent is pleasant and not over powering at all. My skin feels great and I can definitely see less shine and less oil. Not 100% gone but a lot better. I think this is a great middle of the road product.

I have tried this moisturiser for 2 weeks now and I just loved it, my face is less oily than ever! It is lightweight, non greasy and ultra gentle.

I love this moisturiser! My skin feels instantly hydrated and soft, it doesn’t feel like it sits on my skin but actually sinks in. It has a beautiful matte finish without any shine, my skin tone is much nicer and balanced, redness on my cheeks has disappeared and a little goes a long way. I would definitely use it again. It smells lovely and sits well under makeup too.

An oil free moisturiser that actually hydrates?!! You've found it with this product. I'm all about that skincare life. I love trying new things that help me look my best self. I wear make up most days and because of my oily t-zone, at the end of the day my foundation looks like an oily mess. The past few days of using this face cream seemed to make my foundation last a lot longer than it usually does. So when this face creams claims to control sebum for a matt, shine-free finish all day....it does. My face was so incredibly soft after using this face cream - all only from using one pump as well. As I write this review I had previously put on the face cream about 9 hours ago, and my skin is still soft to the touch and I can also confirm my t-zone is not oily at all.

I would use this again!

First off I love this pump bottle! I am so over moisturisers coming in pottles or tubes. Give me a hygienic, easy to dispense pump bottle anyday!

This is very light and a slightly weird texture compared to your usual lotion, but it is lovely to use and does absorb quickly with no residue.

It is immediately effective at mattifying skin, although that mattification (not a word!) didn't quite last all day for me. But it got me through the work day so that's the main thing.

I find it very hydrating and smoothing and it definitely doesn't clog pores - my t-zone is pretty much blackhead/clogged pore-free after 2 weeks of use.

The only reason this isn't a 5 star product for me is that it doesn't mattify all day, but other than that, I really enjoy it and would recommend!!

This moisturiser is very light and absorbs quickly into the skin. The smell is pleasant and fresh.

A great product for very oily to mildly oily skins, Niacinamide helps keep the shine from oily skin at bay. The lightweight formula keeps skin hydrated throughout the day. Skin is left feeling smooth and ready for applying makeup over the top.

The packaging allows for no mess application and pumps out just the right amount to moisturise your whole face and neck.

Proudly made in NZ is always a selling point for me and it's affordable for those on a budget.

As I have oily skin I tend to stay away from moisturiser but for this trial I gave it a shot and I was amazed.

First of all, I love the packaging - it's nice to look at and the pump worked well.

As for the moisturiser, it didn't make my skin didn't feel more oily - in fact it felt really great, and I will definitely continue to use it and will repurchase in the future.

I got this in the vault after reading a lot of good reviews here. I have combination skin, which gets oilier in summer, and that combined with wearing a mask at work has lead to me breaking a lot more than I have in years. This moisturiser, along with several other products (some of which I will review also), has helped improve my skin a lot, and it's now much better.

It feels lightweight, but still hydrating. I think this is intended to be a daytime moisturiser, but I use it night. I find I don't need a moisuriser in the morning, because I use a couple of serums, and a hydrating sunscreen. So it would probably be too much to use a moisturiser as well, although this could change as the weather cools down.

Also, one of the serums I use is in the morning has 10% niacinamide, and my foundation also contains niacinamide (although probably a very small amount). So I don't want to overdo it with the niacinamide in case it causes irritation.

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
