Essano Moisturiser review

I enjoyed using this product - nice easy pump system. Needed a few pumps to get enough to moisturiser to cover face. Consistency of the moisturiser was nice and smooth. Left my skin feeling nice and smooth after use. Will use again.

Tips: More than one pump is needed.

Well priced cruelty free moisturizer

Nice smelling moisturizer, its light and spreads easily, the fragrance is not overpowering and it sets into the skin really quickly so its great for the morning when you want to get your make-up on fast and don't want to wait for your moisturizer to settle. I liked using this in the morning but prefer a heavier moisturizer for the evening. The pump is convenient to use however the dark packaging is annoying that you can't see how much is left in there- being a cruelty free product is a big win in my eyes. I'm in my mid 30s and have sensitive, oily skin and this hasn't made me break out or caused any redness which is great!

Oil Control Moisturiser

The essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy, keeping skin hydrated without the oil. It is the third and final step in this essano 3 step regime.

I have been using this moisturiser as part of my night time skincare routine, following cleansing and toning. After the toner dries on my skin, I take a little moisturiser on the tips of my fingers and rub it on my face with gentle circles.

It feels light to apply, and stays moist long enough to know when my face is covered, but dries pretty quick and leaves my skin feeling soft. Overall my skin has been feeling smooth and more balanced after trialling this regime, and I will continue to use it.

Tips: Two of these little pumps were the perfect amount for my face!

Non-greasy, calming moisturiser

While I will probably go back to using my Drunk Elephant or Glamglow moisturisers, I was very impressed with this Essano moisturiser as more of a drug-store, affordable range skin care product. It was soothing and pleasant and didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. Great for morning and night use and I could definitely feel that my skin had soaked it up overnight. The scent was light and pleasant and the packaging made it nice and easy to use. Would definitely recommend it as an affordable moisturiser option

Absolute game changer for under make up

This is a lovely lightweight moisturizer. I used it after cleanser and toning with the Essano Oil Control cleanser and toner and it stopped my chin being coated with oil by afternoon as it usually is everyday. Becuase of this, it helped my foundation stay nice all day rather than being affected by excess oil production.

The moisturizer is easy to use with a pump bottle, one pump dispenses the correct amount. It is light, mildly scented and applies easily to sink in fully. I used a serum underneath for a moisture boost at night, but the moisturizer alone was plenty for during the day.

I've struggled my whole adult life balancing acne control with needing gentle skincare as my skin is sensitive for harsh ingredients. I really rate this as the perfect combo of highly effective ingredients without harmful chemicals. I'll definitely be buying more when this runs out.

Tips: Use as a day cream for more stability for your foundation. Apply as serum underneath at night if needed.

Essano Oil Control Oil Free moisturiser

Comes in Essanos typical brown plastic, this one has a green label and a good pump applicator. One or 2 pumps does face and neck. I love it! Absorbs super fast with 0 sticky residue or shine. This white lotion is light and yet actually feels like it’s moisturising and softening and smoothing skin. I find a lot of oil free moisturisers make me look shiny and more oily than normal moisturiser as soon as I apply or they leave a weird almost tacky feeling like they coat the skin and don’t absorb and I’ve tried hundreds! I guess the true oil control test will be summer when my oil production increases but it seems to be helping right now. It has a light slightly sweet scent hard to describe maybe honey and freesias? But it just smells fresh and clean and isn’t overly intrusive. Will definitely buy!

essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser

I used this as the final step in my cleaning regime before bed and can honestly say I didnt like it. It felt very thick and heavy on my face and just made my face feeling very icky. A little went a long way with this product but I feel like if this is meant to be an oil free product it should probably feel alot lighter as is what I've found using different brands of oil free moisturizer.

The BEST moisturiser

This moisturiser was the best final step in this system you could ask for. It was light, silky, and let my skin breathe all day.

After using the toner and having my skin feel quite dry, it was a relief to put this on top as the final step. It added so much moisture back into my skin, but still kept my oily t-zone at bay until late afternoon.

The smell was exactly what you'd expect from an Essano product - flowery but not overpowering. I found 3 pumps was enough to cover my face and neck without feeling like I'd either missed patches or had too much on.

This is one of the best products I have used for my oily skin. I'm not even halfway through the bottles and I've already purchased the system again because I dont want to run out!

Tips: Put this on as soon as you've applied the toner to help everything soak in better

Fave In The Range

The Essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser was probably my favourite product in the range.

It comes in a dainty pump and the packaging is coloured green unlike the other two products in the range which are pink with a green stripe.

The moisturizer is white and not too thick, but still creamy. It absorbs into the skin easily and is the most gentle of the three products on the skin.

It gave a little bit of a matte, shine-free finish. And was definitely light, not greasy, moisturizing and left the skin feeling smooth.

I would use this moisturizer again.

Tips: It's New Zealand made skincare, you should try it,

Beautiful moisturiser

Where to start with this fantastic moisturiser. It was lovely. I enjoyed the fact that it was a light weight consistency which didn’t leave my skin oily And it didn’t feel heavy or too thick on the skin. It again kept the shine away while also still being incredibly moisturising for my skin.

Tips: Use all three products the cleanser, toner and moisturiser in conjunction if you have an oily t-zone and you will have a winner.
