Soothing & Calm

Picked this up in the vault. I'm a fan of the brands skin care, this product is no less. Soothing and soft on my skin. Hax a slight botanical? Scent that I also enjoy. Skin feels calm and ready for the rest of my skincare regime. No doubt, I would pick this up again.

Essano Oil Control Toner

Nice refreshing, relaxing scent, feels gentle and not drying on the skin. It has a real calming and smoothing effect on the skin. I haven't seen a major change in the size of my pores yet but my skin has felt smoother and more even in skin tone (I have been using the oil control regime not just the toner) I would be likely to use this again when I run out as it is a good product and its a really great price point so I would definitely recommend. my bottle came only about half full - not sure if they all come like that

Tips: Grab reusable makeup pads to be more eco friendly rather than single use cotton pads. Definitely follow up with a moisturiser after any toner.

Good for someone getting into skincare

This toner was good. It is pretty basic so would be a good step for someone just getting into skincare/toners. Did not leave any residue on the skin so worked well when combined with the moisturiser. I will continue to use this one for sure.

I did enjoy using it and I love niacinamide as an ingredient to help with my large clogged pores.

Tones skin well!

I am not a fan of toners. I am quite useless when it comes to following a routine. I am either too busy or can't be bothered. Using this toner I have noticed a difference with my skin. My pores seem smaller and my spots have definitely cleared up. I found that it smelt super nice and using it everyday made a big difference to the appearance of my skin. I am definitely going to buy this product again. Using it with the cleanser and the moisturizer is essential to give me a clean skin look. Its a really pretty bottled and easy to use. I found popping it onto a flannel worked best for me and used it after the cleanser. It was really good because there were numbers on the bottle so even though you could be a beginner the numbers will help! Thanks Beauty Review for the awesome trial :).

Tips: Pop onto a flannel for distribution.

Essano oil control balancing toner

I enjoyed this product as it made my skin feel soft, fresh and seemed to really help keep the shine away. It didn’t dry my skin out like some toners do and you only needed a tiny bit for the whole face. Lovely packaging and an easy to use product. It even had quite a pleasant scent. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Tips: Using all three products, Cleanser, toner and moisturiser it really helped keep the shine away. Use it with a cotton ball and you only need a tiny bit of the product to work.

Like Micellar Water

The Essano Oil Control Balancing Toner, helpfully labeled number 2 in the regime is what I apply after the cleanser.

I haven't used a toner in a while, but after using it I realized it reminded me a lot of micellar water in terms of its consistency and takes a similar role in my beauty routine.

The toner comes in a plastic bottle that feel quite thin. And the consistency of the product is like a velvety water.

I don't have oily skin so I didn't feel it targeted excess oil and shine for me, but I could feel the Niacinamide at work and suspect it would be somewhat effective for those who do have oily skin.

For me it left my skin feeling smooth, hydrated and refreshed.

Tips: This product is watery so only put a small amount in your hand at a time.

The best oily skin toner ever

Hands down, this is the best oil control toner I have used on my face - and I have used a lot of different brands!

This toner made me a bit hesitant at first as it dried my skin up pretty much instantly after putting it on. But using it along with the moisturizer got rid of that problem. The fact that it dries your skin so quickly definitely helped with the oil control, and this was noticeable after the first use.

The toner had a really nice smell to it, and that stayed on my skin for a good couple of hours after using it. It was sweet, but not overpowering which was important to me since it would be literally under my nose all day.

I love this system so much! It's made such a difference to my skin and has gotten my oil levels on my face right down.

Tips: Follow up with moisturizer while the toner is still sitting on your skin, I found this made it sink in to my skin a lot better.

essano Oil Control Balancing Toner

This product was good I used it as the second step in my cleaning regime after using the essano cleanse before bed. It worked well - removing all the left over bits of make up and dirt that there cleanser missed and left my skin feeling refreshed.

Essano Oil Control toner

Comes in typical essano brown plastic bottle with pink label so no surprise there. I’m really enjoying this toner so far! It doesn’t leave any slight residual feeling like some toners do, it literally feels like nothing on your skin after drying so I’m loving it. Unsure yet if it’s minimising pores size but skin feels slightly smoother. I haven’t had long to trial after issues with couriers so not 100% whether it’s helping with oil control but I think so. True test will be summer months when oils outta control. Will purchase and use again for right price!

Tips: First thought was that bottle was tiny but a little goes a long way.
