essano Needle Free Filler

I was very excited to trial this product - it sounded great hydrated, firm, and rejuvenated skin! Who would want all of that?!

It comes in a standard dropper style applicator that most serums and oils come in, making it easy to apply the correct amount. As directed I used this after cleansing and toning - I applied approx 4 drops onto my fingers and gently patted the serum into my skin.

The serum was lightweight - it wasn't too oily or thick, which made it easy to evenly apply. It was quite tacky at first when patting it into my skin but absorbed shortly after without leaving any residue. I then followed with my standard moisturiser.

I liked the way the serum applied and my skin did feel quite nicely hydrated after application. I was excited to see how my skin would look after using it for a few weeks.

However that's as far as it really got. I used it in the am and pm, and nothing else happened.

Unlike other serums I have used previously were I have noticed differences with my skin looking brighter, more hydrated, firmer or rejuvenated. This one gave me a slight hydrated feel but nothing more - it did not make any noticeable difference to my fine lines or the overall look of my skin.

I wanted to love this and add this to my skincare routine however I will stick to using other serums thay have provided better results.

I was excited to try this as I am all about improving the appearance and texture of my skin. Being 32 years old, I am noticing fine lines beginning to form, and I do what I can to try and slow the aging process. First thoughts were that 'Needle-Free-Filler- is a really big claim - and second thought - can a supermarket product really perform as well as the name suggests (after-all, it is priced around only $35). In saying this, I kept an open mind, because who wouldn't love to find an amazing skincare product that is only $35, right!? Packaging is nice - the serum itself is lightweight and it dries nicely - with no oily or sticky residue. My skin felt hydrated after applying it - but honestly that's about it. I didn't notice any visible results, and there wasn't anything special about this product. In my opinion, this product over-promised and under-delivered and I wouldn't buy it. I'd only recommend it to someone looking for a product that hydrates your skin - but certainly not as a 'needle-free filler'.

I enjoyed using this product however I didn’t notice any dramatic difference in the appearance of my skin when I compared a before and after. However I was suffering a few breakouts and they have seemed to clear up so I’m not sure if this product helped or if it was a coincidence. Probably wouldn’t purchase this again as I didn’t feel as though it is a vital part of my skin routine.

First impressions have been great. It's a lightweight formula that blends easily and provides instant hydration. I've noticed my skin has felt smooth and plump with daily use over the past few weeks. I also love how affordable and easily accessible Essano products are.

I started to add this serum into my skincare routine and gave definitely noticed results within a week. My skin had less texture and my makeup looked so much better with less creasing. The formula isn't sticky and doesn't have an overwhelming smell. I will definitely continue to use this in my skincare routine.

I have pretty bad skin texture and found that, while the texture didn't go away, it did make my skin VERY smooth to touch. Probably all the Glycerin in it. It has only been my first week using it though, so will see! Glad it has no smell and is very easy to put on, it dries very quickly as well, so I apply moisturizer afterwards.

I enjoyed this product, at first my skin was a little bit sensitive - as it usually is when I try new products like this! Although at a great price point, it’s really an innovative product. I love serums, and this one is very different to others that I own, as my others are more targetted towards hydration. The sensitiveness of my skin usually dies down a minute or two after application which was the case with this one. It wouldn’t such be my first choice due to this, but I would definitely be using the rest of the bottle and then deciding!

This year I have been purchasing and trying out some "affordable" serums, after having used Lancome Genifique serum for the last couple of years (which my skin LOVES but my wallet does not). I was very pleased to be invited to be a part of the trial team for this product, otherwise I wouldn't have known it existed!

I used this serum mornings only, for the last month. I would use it after showering and followed it with moisturizer, SPF, primer, then makeup.

I found that as soon as the serum was applied, it dried down quite quickly. It made my skin feel a bit tight, but more so in a "dehydrated skin" feeling than in a "firm, youthful skin" way. Following it with my usual super hydrating gel moisturizer did help alleviate this feeling for me somewhat.

I didn't notice any unpleasant scent, which I was glad about. The dropper applicator is also easy to use, although I probably ended up using a slightly different amount each time - I'm used to the Genifique predosing the quantity for me!

I found that after a month of using this, my deep set forehead wrinkles seem less pronounced, which is great. However, I'm unlikely to purchase this just based on not liking the tight feeling it gives my skin, and my makeup not wearing as well on top of it when compared to other, more hydrating serums.

Given the price point, if you're curious I would definitely recommend trying it out for yourself!

I got this from the Beauty Vault a while and have finally got around to using it. I love what copper peptides do to my skin and was hooked on the Snowberry one for a while but it’s no longer available. This is definitely a great alternative. It’s a slightly thicker water based serum and absorbs almost instantly without leaving a film like some of these types of products do. I’ve found my skin is plump and my face feels firmer. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks so haven’t noticed any difference to my fine lines. I have oily/combination skin and this doesn’t break me out or increase shine, if anything it may feel a little drying to someone with very dry skin. Because it is such a lightweight serum it can be layered with heavier serums although maybe do your research as to what can be layered with it. I will definitely be using this product in the future as it makes me look like I’ve had a really good nights sleep.
