essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil

The bottle looks like any other facial oil with a dropper as the lid. The lid on first opening was a little fiddly as the seal didn't break properly, but once open this wasn't a problem. It has a very gentle and not over powering scent, but definitely a light smell. I have used more quality droppers on oils and this one felt a little cheep when being used. The oil was easy to rub in and as with most facial oils a little does go a long way. I didn't see any major differences after using this product. I think maybe with more continuous use the results will be easier to see.

Having never used something like this on my face before I wasn't sure what to expect but I absolutely loved it. A small amount goes a long way and even when you first pat it on your skin you start to feel the difference with it feeling softer and clearer.

My skin tine became much more healthy and even looking as well as softer which in turn gave me a more healthier and youthful look.

I also enjoyed how I could easily insert it into my routine and as I loved the way my skin looked and felt after using it I was motivated to keep using it nd it is now permanently part of my my everyday routine.

I've used a few Essano products over the last couple of years, and I've always been happy with them.

This, though. It smells amazing!! It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth, is easy to apply and goes on under makeup, easy as.

The price point of Essano products is great, too!!

Highly recommend this oil.

I'm a big fan of Essano, I've always loved their products and their range is getting huge, so I'm always keen to try new products from them. This facial oil smells amazing! I've always heard Vitamin c oil is really good for your skin and I have tried another brand before that I quite liked. 3 drops is all you need morning and night, don't make the mistake of doing more because it really spreads out and brings a brightness to your complexion. I feel as if it is doing good for my skin but I've decided to just use it once a day due to breakouts which I think is from the facial oil because I haven't changed anything else in my skincare routine. I didn't see any difference my skin tone or dark spots but I will continue to use it and see if I can notice anything, plus this tiny little bottle is going to go a long way so its definitely good value for money!

I’ve given this a good few weeks to be sure of the results. When I first started using it, I had a terrible breakouts and I wasn’t sure if it was from this oil, a new medication, or that time of the month. I stopped taking my medication and within a few days the breakouts cleared, it wasn’t this oil! And the oil then helped to heal the breakouts and patches left beautifully without pain or irritation. This oil is lovely and lux. It’s rich yet light and smells good enough to eat. I can definitely smell the vitamin C! I already love vitamin C for the skin, inside and out, and I love jojoba oil for skin and hair. So this was a perfect nourishing match of these products. I have mostly normal skin with the occasional breakout or dry patch, and can also get the odd patch of eczema. This oil was suitable for my skin and eczema, causing no irritation. It’s super easy to apply and it absorbed quite well and quickly for an oil, meaning it wasn’t long after applying in the AM before I could apply make up. I love doing a hot towel on my face after cleansing my skin and then applying this before bed. It also works well in combination with hyaluronic skin products. A little goes a long way, and the directions say to use 3-4 drops in the morning and evening and avoid the eye area. This is good too, as I can then use my usual eye products. Some days I’ve just used it as a special treat in the evenings, others I use it morning and night. I don’t know if there’s any difference so far in my dark spots and patches, but I’ve noticed a definite glow and have had many compliments on my skin! The only thing I’ve changed in my skincare is this oil, so it must be doing something! It just feels nice, like a nice treat for myself, especially during these cold, harsh winter months when my skin gets a lot drier, it’s absolutely nourishing as it says. I think my skin looks smoother and more radiant than before. I love that I can grab this with my groceries, so convenient! I also love the price, FYI, currently on special at Countdown for $21!

This product is amazing. It makes my skin feel and look so smooth and fresh. The smell is very refreshing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something to add to their skin routine, Does exactly what it says it does

Like most Essano products, this oil comes in nice pink packaging. The oil is in a small glass bottle with a dropper. The dropper works well (unlike many droppers!) and you can easily control how much of the oil you use. I used this facial oil morning and night under my moisturiser. You only need a small amount and it really is absorbed easily into the skin. I wasn't left with any oily residue at all. I found it a good base for my moisturiser and make up. My skin felt nicely hydrated after using it. I didn't notice any real change in my skin tone, although it is early days, so fingers crossed!

essano Vitamin C Super Glow Facial Oil

I was super excited to try this facial oil as it promised to boost skin radiance and brighten dull skin. When you're over 45, you'll take all the help you can get in this regard!

Enriched with eight oils and extracts, I knew this low-irritation oil would be good for my skin, especially as it's winter and my skin is more prone to dullness over the colder months. It's a common complaint, I guess. I hear a lot of women talk about skin dullness over winter...

The oil comes packaged in a cute pink and orange box, with gold essano lettering. It suits the brand, and 'Made in New Zealand' is written clearly at the bottom of the box, along with the essano promise of no parabens and other similar nasties in the product.

As per the main instructions, I applied 3-4 drops of the oil on to my fingertips and gently patted it on to my face, avoiding the delicate eye area. One small criticism I could make at this point is that the oil comes out a little too abundantly - you need to be careful that those 3-4 drops placed on your fingertips don't become more like puddles! A minor criticism, but worth mentioning. However, despite that, if I ended up accidentally putting more on my face, it gave it even more of a healthy glow - so it wasn't a problem for me to use more of it than the stated amount.

It also smells divine! I don't know what oil/extract I'm smelling when I use it, perhaps it's a combo of all the oils and extracts used in this product or just the result of one in particular. Whatever the case, the fragrance is lovely and makes me even more keen to use it!

You apply it in the morning and evening - after cleansing and toning your face. I've been using the oil for around six days now, as part of my morning and nightly skincare regime.

The first thing I noticed is that it made my skin glow! Not in a traffic-light neon kind of way (thankfully!), but just in a healthy, slightly shiny way. It definitely gives my skin a radiance boost, which is what essano said it would do!

And now, after having used this oil for about six days as part of my overall skincare regime, I have definitely noticed a boost in overall radiance and brightness. Also my skin feels smoother and less dry. It's nourishing and caring - all the good words I can think of apply here! The product really does do what it sets out to do, I've had no side effects and I enjoy using it! Tick, tick, tick.

So, I have no qualms in recommending this product to others. It's NZ made, it's gentle and kind to the skin and it achieves results. And I think it'd suit people of all ages - not just my age group.

If you factor it into your overall skincare regime, you won't be disappointed. Five kisses.
