A nice non oily alternative

I found this to be a really great basic moisturiser, not too rich and definitely more matte. I had no oil issues during the day with shininess.

While this is a great base for makeup as so smoothing, I probably would prefer something richer for winter. It is quite thin, and I found myself using a lot more than usual. It also has a nice clean smell to it.

Tips: I feel this is more of a summer holiday moisturiser!

Matt Free - YES PLEASE

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!

Tips: One pump is enough for your whole face

Love the pump!

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!!

Oil Free Moisturiser

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.

Tips: Apply as the last step in your skincare routine. Start with cleanser and toner Oil Control Niacinamide Range. Apply a single pump direct into your palm and evenly distribute all over face and neck, avoiding eye area. Go as you are with shine free skin or Apply your makeup look over top.

For best results use morning and evening.

Best for oily skins.

Surprised I Loved It.

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.

Love it

Love the formula, keeps my combination skin hydrated and non greasy all day. The pump dispenser is a bonus, gives out a good amount to cover face and neck.

Tips: Wait for a few minutes before layering SPF on top

Essano oil free moisturiser

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

Really hydrating without being greasy

This is a good little moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated without greasy and shiny. SPF would be a great added ingredient but otherwise it does the job. I do like that it sinks into my skin without just sitting on the top. It works quite well under makeup too. I love that there doesn’t seem to be any added fragrance. I will continue to use and would definitely recommend to anyone with oiler skin.

Essano Oil Control Moisturiser

I found this moisturiser really enjoyable to use. It really does what it says. Feels very hydrating on the skin, its very light weight - I wouldn't say it feels like a gel lotion as such but just a thinner more light weight moisturiser, it's not thick and doesn't feel heavy. Relaxing and refreshing to use, I have been using this after cleansing and toning without fail and I am really liking it. I will be rebuying, it is super affordable and a really great product at that. My face is feeling smoother (I am using the whole regime also). Personally I am still getting my standard oily T zone, slightly better but not miraculously better it is definitely still happening - I have been using it a week so fingers crossed it will continue to improve, but an otherwise great product and would recommend.

Tips: Use after Cleansing and toning, potentially a serum in between if your skin wants it. I use about one and a half pumps personally and that is enough for my face and neck and even a little on the back of my hands.

Light but does the job!

This was a fantastic moisturizer. I really enjoyed using it because it was nice and light and had a nice smell. I didn't have to worry about it taking ages to dry because it absorbed straight away. Not too heavy which I absolutely hate! Only a few pumps is needed with this product and your face is left feeling super silky smooth. I really enjoyed using it night and morning after using the cleanser and toner. Nice packaging and easy to use bottle. Great product that I will be absolutely buying again! I have noticed such a difference to my skin and the quality of it. I am thrilled with this product. Thanks so much Beauty Review!

Tips: Only need a few pumps to use :)
