essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil

Clickbait title alert! This oil doesn't really give you rosy cheeks, but it makes them SMELL rosy. Not an old-timey, faded potpourri, grandmother's wrinkly hands sort of smell, but an uplifting, frolicking in summer fields sort of smell. Rather nice actually.

This oil is very light and goes a loooong way. Four drops is enough, which means this bottle is going to last forrrrevvverrrrr. I applied after toning with a spritzer spray. If I'm late with the moisturiser, all that wet spray evaporates off leaving my skin feeling tighter and drier than before. BUT if you add some drops of Essano Vitamin E oil, it holds all that moisture in. And then I have longer to faff about before moisturising.

The oil is quite a nice step to include in the nightly routine and although I didn't use it every day, I liked how it made my skin feel softer. I'm not sure about the 'super glow', although it definitely gives a dewy look - because it's oil, der.

I was hoping the Vitamin C boost would help lighten my pesky dark melanin spots on my cheekbones, but it didn't make much of a difference there during the trial weeks (thank you BR for the opportunity to trial this product!). Here's hoping a longer useage time makes more of an impact.

All in all, I would say this product is definitely a 'nice to have' - it's inexpensive, you can buy it from the supermarket, it smells lovely and it's a little luxury boost for a tired skin routine.

This product smells amazing. It’s sweet and citrusy and makes it stand out from other vitamin C products. That being said, I have somewhat sensitive skin so am not a fan of scented products. I’ve found this hasn’t broken me out though, so that’s a plus! This oil is super lightweight so you can use it in the mornings, which is when it’s recommended to use. I have super dry skin so I actually prefer a heavier facial oil but I think this will be great for those with oily skin! Though this product doesn’t make me flow, I do think this is helping with fading my dark spots. I use this in the morning after cleansing, and then I follow with a moisturiser and spf. Overall a lovely smelling product that I think does help fade dark spots, but I don’t think I’ll get used to using heavily scented products on the daily.

So I’ve tried a couple of mid price range vitamin c oils/serums so I was excited to give this one a go. I checked other reviews and read up on the product. Everything seems fairly positive so perhaps this is just me. Packaging is convenient with a dropper. Good price point. The actual product itself I found a bit too runny so have to be super careful handling. Nice light fruity fragrance. Nothing too strong. Nice and light feeling to apply but I didn’t personally find it overly hydrating. It sat fairly oily on my skin but didn’t absorb overly well. I used this morning and night as it says and had no irritation or breakouts so there’s a plus if you normally break out with similar products. Overall I’m not a huge fan I’m sad to say

This came in minimal packaging with just enough information on how to use it. The bottle is easy to open and has a dropper top which doesn't drip unless you squeeze it. The oil has a nice feel to it and pleasant smell. I did find it a little tricky to apply to my fingertips and pat onto my face like the instructions said, as it seemed run. Overall my skin looks brighter and feels smooth.

Well I was actually really sceptical, the initial fragrance was kind of fruity and I did think hmmmmm this is fake but the scent does not last long . I actually liked the scent in the end . It was like a little yum my skin is happy scent haha.

The bottle is clear to read and super easy to use , just press the dropper to suck up the oil and use 4 drops. Easy! So quick.

I wasn’t prepared for how thin the oil was and I did use way to much the first application. Which is absolutely fine as you can rub any excess into your hands and arms.

The oil does absorb really quick , it’s not super oily as I’d except with a thick facial oil . It certainly doesn’t give that oily ick I’ve got something on my face feeling .

My skin is smooth and bright , definitely a glow and I really love the results. There was no irritation what’s do ever . My skin was one with the oil.

I really love how glowing and feet my skin is.

I’ll definitely continue to purchase .

I'm pleasantly surprised by how good this serum is! I've used a few different vitamin c treatments and have seen the Essano offer in the supermarket but always thought maybe it wouldn't be that great as it's such a reasonable price! The glass bottle is pretty standard, a squezzy tip on the applicator to dispense the drops.

Serum is a little thinner than I was expecting and it's easy to get a little bit more products than you need.

The serum smells delicious and soaked into my skin quickly and didn't pill with my night moisturizer, total bonus.

When using at night time my skin felt super soft and plump in the morning and over the last few weeks I've seen the slight discoloration of age spots on the side of my face change colour and be a lot less noticeable.

I did experience a little redness across my cheeks when I got greedy and used the serum morning and night but it quickly went away when I droped it back down.

All in all I totally recommend the Essano serum, for the price it definitely delivers.

This product from Essano comes in the usual pink Essano packaging - easy to recognise and find. I love Essano Products and I love facial oils so I was very grateful to find it in the vault and have the chance to try it.

Inside the box is a cute 20ml dropped bottle. One dropper is more than enough for full coverage for my face and neck.The most noticeable effect is the gorgeous scent - mmmmm! The oil itself is soft and gorgeous and absorbs slowly into my skin, without being greasy or tacky. It doesn't cause any irritation and makes my skin glow and look radiant and healthy as per the product claims. I've been using it in the morning and at night and my skin is still hydrated in the morning when I wake up.

It's gorgeous, I love it and recommend it. It appears to range around $25 - $28 depending on where you buy it, which I think is a fair price for such a lovely oil.

I was given this as a trial and I used this 5 times a week, it smelt quite nice and was quite easily absorbed into the skin, didn't really leave a very greasy feeling. The rubber pump is very soft and thin, so quite difficult to use, you can easily squeeze out too much. After using this for the entire trial period, I don't feel my skin changed in anyway, but also didn't have any breakouts or clogging of skin, so probably not something I see myself investing in.

I was sent a full sized 20ml dropper bottle of this Vitamin C facial oil as part of a Beauty Review Trail Team.

The splurb on Essano's website says: “Harnessing the power of the super source of Vitamin C Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate to nourish and boost skin radiance. This low-irritation, easily absorbed Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil contains 8 natural oils and extracts including Turmeric and Jojoba to even out skin tone, lighten the appearance of dark spots and leave the skin glowing. Benefits: 5% Vitamin C, Brightens dull skin, 8 super oils and extracts for a radiant glow, Light & easily absorbed. After cleansing and toning, apply 3-4 drops onto fingertips and gently pat onto face avoiding the eye area. Follow with your favourite essano moisturiser or night crème. Patch test before use. Vegan-friendly.”

Armed with that information, I was really keen to start using this facial oil to see if it could lighten the dark pigmentation spots on my cheeks. I know the box said to use morning and evening, but I've been told by a beautician before to avoid using Vitamin C products during the day, as it can react with sunlight, so I only applied this in the evenings, after cleansing and toning. Some nights, I'd apply my night cream over the top, if my skin was feeling particularly dry, but other nights, just using the facial oil was enough (I have oily skin). The oil is light and easily absorbed, unless too much is applied, then it can feel quite oily on the skin. Start off with two drops and then add another drop if needed.

After using this product every evening for two weeks, I think I can see an improvement in my skin. My skin is definitely more radiant and nourished, and the dark marks don't seem as prominent as they were before. My skin has always reacted to Essano's products, and I tend to get a breakout around my chin and along my jawbone every time I use Essano, but that didn't happen with this product, so I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to try a Vitamin C Facial Oil.

I took before and after photos and have put these up on the Photo Wall. The photos were taken in the same place with the same lighting, to try and show true effects of this oil.

I’ve used a vitamin C oil before, and loved it (another brand) but didn’t purchase a full sized bottle after I finished my trial sized one - mostly due to cost. So I was pretty excited to trial the Essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil.

With some nice packaging, clearly identifying it with the brand,in its signature rose pink, the compact, small brown bottle with a rubber and glass dropper fits nicely into my small bathroom cabinet. It will easily find a space in a toiletry bag also. Despite being small, this product goes a long way!

From day one, my skin just lapped up the goodness, within days of just using it in the evenings, I felt my bare face had a glow to it, something new for me. I started using 3-4 drops at night only, after serums or instead of serums - depending on my mood. I’d recently had a sensitivity to a retinol product, so I was wary of using a new product so soon, but I had no reaction to this product.

Once I was sure it wasn’t going to aggravate my skin, I also started applying it in the morning most days. During warmer weather, my skin can become an oils slick before morning tea time, so winter is the perfect time to see how my skin will cope with the oil. I did restrict it to 2 drops in the morning, just in case. I needn’t have worried. It sits well under my usual lightweight moisturiser and I didn’t notice any excess oil during the day, nor when I take my make up off in the evening.

I’ve not looked at the price of this product yet, I’ve still got about 2/3rds of the bottle left - I’m pleased with how long the product is lasting. It’s going to be a keeper in my routine now! I’m pretty sure this brand has some great, affordable price points, so I’m sure I won’t have to sacrifice another product to add this item into my daily regime!

My fave thing about this product is the scent. Smells good enough to eat, BUT DON’T! Just a gentle waft of orange to stimulate your senses, and the scent compliments my other scented body probducts
