essano Oil Control Deep Pore Cleanser

I was lucky enough to try out all 3 products from this range and the cleanser is great. The cleanser is a gel like cleanser that foams up when you add water and start putting it on you’re face. I feel it helped my t-zone not get oily during the day and it really did help to reduce my pores. I enjoyed the fact it made my face feel fresh and oil free all day.

I am really loving using this cleanser. I like the feature of the pump to get the product out, it has a great smell, refreshing and a scent you would find if you were at a spa getting a facial etc - really pleasant! It doesn't foam up too much which is a pet peeve of mine when they are super foamy. Did not dry out my face which a lot of cleansers do and my face felt soft and smooth after using. It recommends to do a double cleanse if wearing heavy makeup (which at night i will usually do a double cleanse anyway) but even with heavy makeup one cleanse just about got the whole lot which really impressed me. I definitely would agree that it is a gentle cleanser. I do think that my redness has reduced while using this, I will be continuing to use this until it runs out and most likely be buying again and such a reasonable price point for a great product. Would definitely recommend I am pleasantly surprised!

Comes in standard essano brown plastic with pink label. This product has a pump which I love. 1 pump is perfect dose. The formulation is a light almost clear gel consistency and has a light fragrance that’s hard to describe maybe faintly Freesia and honey? But the scent is not overwhelming and quite pleasant. I’m not sure if it reduces redness yet but haven’t had much time to trial after a fiasco with couriers. I can say it’s gentle and not stripping so no tightness after use and I think my skin is feeling smoother and blackheads improved. I will definitely purchase this again for the right price

The essano Oil Control Deep Pore Cleanser is a gel formula, designed to remove oil, makeup and pore-clogging grime.

The formula is clear, and quite thick. It is easy to spread onto the face, and lathers up easily with a little water. I applied it with my fingers and found it really smooth and gentle on my skin. It doesn't have a strong scent, if anything I would describe it as clean smelling, and the whole regime smells the same.

I have been using this cleanser as part of my night time skincare routine, and found that it removes my makeup very easily, with just a gentle scrub using my fingers or cotton face pad. In general I am not very acne-prone, but I have not had any new spots pop up during my trial of this product. My skin is a normal/combination type, and since using this cleanser my face is feeling smooth and pretty good - not too dry or oily!

I have enjoyed using this cleanser and I think I'll definitely continue to use it!

My skin is complicated. Some days it is dry but for the majority of the time it is oily, especially around my t-zone. As soon as I saw that this product helped to remove oil AND unclog my pores, I knew I just had to try it. I wanted to do a little experiment the first day I used it and didn't remove any of my full face of makeup, just to see how powerful it was in removing make up. I definitely recommend that you use some form of makeup removal before washing your face with this as my skin was definitely not clean using this alone. The next day I removed my make up first before washing my face and what a difference it made. After washing my face my skin felt super clean and clear and not dry like some other oil control cleansers can make your face. I couldn't believe how soft my face was afterwards. It also has a pleasant scent and is not overpowering, so if you are sensitive to scent, this one could be for you! These past few days using this cleanser, I must say, my skin is looking a lot clearer and not so red. I would even be as bold to say that some of my pigmentation on my face is lesser. I would also say my oils are calmed down a little as well.

I would use it again. I think my only criticism is how little product you get for the price but that would be it. All you oily girls out there GIVE IT A GO!

This cleanser took me back to the cleansers of my teenage years with it's scent and more intense feeling cleanse. But unlike the cleansers of my teenage years it didn't leave my skin feeling stripped and assaulted by harsh chemicals, instead my skin felt calm and untouched.

The cleanser comes in a pump bottle and has a clear gel consistency. I had one blemish on my forehead during this trial and it seemed to dry up quite quickly with this regime and I think that was particular the effect of the cleanser.

During the trial no other blemishes popped up, so I would say it did a good job of removing impurities and keeping the pores unclogged.

Because the cleanser was slightly more overpowering I didn't use it to remove eye makeup because it make my eyes sting. It removed make up on the rest of my face effectively though.

I didn't however see any improvement in the small amount of redness I get (particularly on my nose).

As I only get one or two blemishes, I would probably stick a less intense cleanser. But I look forward to continuing to try this out to see if it does make my blemishes disappear faster. If it did, I'd definitely buy it again.

This is a great cleanser, it doesn’t have a strong smell, doesn’t dry out my skin, it cleans my skin nicely and I did notice some trouble pores get smaller(?) Does it do what it says? Yes, I believe it does, I noticed some clogged areas are clearing up, less blemishes and my skin has seemed calmer and soft. Will I use it again? Yes, it feels great, seems to work well and isn’t to strong smelling. It is available at the supermarket and is going to be decently priced. I like it.

There was a lot to like about this cleanser. It left my skin feeling clean but without that tight feeling you sometimes get.

I didn't love the smell, but it wasn't unpleasant but I liked the way my skin felt afterwards.

The bottle has a pump and is easy to use in the shower. I will definitely continue to use this and would consider buying it in the future.

This cleanser is good. It removes dirt and makeup without stripping my skin of essential moisture which is important for oily skin. It managed to break down my heavy foundation quite well too.

I felt like my pores appeared smaller and less clogged with about a weeks usage so would be keen to see how it continues to perform over time. Would use it again for sure.

This is a great cleanser- it foams well, it cleanses well and it left my skin feeling really nice and clean after a day with a full face of make up. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin and the smell is quite pleasant- almost masculine smelling so my hubby was happy to use it too! Big positive is this being cruelty free, I'm trying to make more ethical purchases so this is great! Downside would be the packaging- I find it annoying when I can't see how much product is left.
