Love the idea but..

I really love the bottle, its really nice to have something different from a plastic bottle. The product has quite a liquid consistency, and you really only need 1 pump not 2 or 3 as the directions say. It feels quite sticky on the skin, but this stickiness goes aware after applying the moisturiser. The one thing I really don’t like about this product is the smell. It smells woody, but not in a good way! I probably wont buy this product in the future, simply because of the scent. I like the idea behind this product, and I do believe it has helped my skin but because of the smell I wouldn’t.

Weird Smell But Works Well

First off I have to admit I do not like the smell. The Serum is my least favourite in terms of smell of this skin care regime. It is hard to explain but it smells really earthy or woody or something. I usually just hold my breath while I rub it in. However it seems to have worked really well on my skin! In conjunction with the rest of this regime my skin has been left so soft and my skin tone has evened up so much! My skin is so much more hydrated and yet less oily and shiny so it's a win win from using this product! The texture of this product is like a thin gel so it spreads well, 2 pumps can cover my entire face and neck which means a little goes a long way!

Leave this one behind.

Although I have enjoyed using the Essano Clear Complexion range overall, this is the one product that I would not recommend. If repurchasing the range, I would leave this one behind. It certainly isn't a bad product, it just didn't do anything.

Serums should be a highly concentrated, targeted treatment, but the ingredients in this one look very similar to the moisturiser. Maybe they are more heavily concentrated, but it is hard to see what this product offers that the moisturiser doesn't. It is part of the skincare system as it "prevents breakouts," however, I'm not convinced that it has a lot to contribute to this. In saying that, my skin was clear whilst using this range.

This product has an unpleasant scent but I think it is important to note that 'fragrance' is the last ingredient on the list. The more frangrance a brand adds to their product, the better it is going to smell, but the most irritating it is going to be. This would be particularly visible on someone who is prone to breakouts. Would you prefer a product that smells amazing but breaks you out, or a product that doesn't smell so good but keeps your skin clear?

This product is an added (sticky) step in my routine that doesn't appear to offer any great results. I will be returning to the serums that I was previously using.

Pretty awesome.

Again super cute packaging and good sized product. I personally found this product more fragranced then the others with did slightly tingle my skin but it felt great on my skin after it settled down a bit and made my skin super glowing and smooth.

I used this after the other products and found it worked great with the other products.

Tips: Be careful. Using it around your eyes

Not so sure

First things first, I really didn't like the smell of this. It was a huge shame because apart from that I really enjoyed it. My face felt wonderful after using it. I think that it does a lot of what it says it does which is a huge bonus. After using it for almost 4 weeks I can't say that I've noticed too much of a difference but I haven't had many large breakouts so it must be working. Not sure I would buy this again purely because of the smell of it.

Tips: You really don't need much - 2 pumps is definitely enough to cover your face and neck.

Detoxifying Serum

This is probably my favourite thing in the set! I absolutely love applying this, it makes my skin feel so smooth and refreshed.

It comes in a smallish 30ml bottle with a pump, and matches the rest of the items in the set. I don't need to use much product to apply this over my whole face! It has a smooth consistency. I love how it smells, to me it smells like a mixture of vanilla and cinnamon and bananas (if that even makes sense!) It soaks into my skin reasonably quickly.

While I have been using this set, I have noticed my skin feeling fresher and smoother, and I haven't had any breakouts. I also feel like my skin has a lot less redness as well and feels overall amazing. Since I've been using the rest of the set, I can't say whether this difference is all down to this product, but love the feeling of applying this and would recommend!

Tips: Recommend!

Not spectacular

I had high hopes for this product, but it was probably my biggest let down. It comes in a pump package, and I found the smell to be fairly artificially scented. I didn't like it as it's quite sticky and doesn't sink in well.

I feel that it doesn't particularly improve my skin. It didn't seem to improve my breakouts or prevent further ones.

Overall I wouldn't repurchase as it didn't particularly do anything for my skin

Great!

This serum is my favourite part of skincare set! I apply it to my freshly cleansed face and it dries very quickly and doesn't feel heavy because it is designed to be applied underneath the moisturiser. It smells really nice and feels so smooth on my face and neck. I really do notice a difference in the amount of oil I produce now compared with what I used to produce; in the mornings my face was so shiny and gross from sleeping but when I apply the serum at night and see myself in the morning I am completely dry and look hydrated! So this product is a big yes in my book, and my skin has kept relatively clear! The packaging is a strong metal pump bottle and looks very sleek. Overall I love this product and will continue to use it.

Super Serum

I love natural products, as they usually seem to work with my sensitive skin, and am always on the hunt for more, so this product was right up my alley. The packaging is similar to those in the range- white and pink with some silver. It had a pump nozzle, which I found a bit hard to use- it was a bit stiff and hard to control the amount of product that came out. It was had to get it to do a half pump, so it had to be one or two full pumps (if that makes sense). I usually found that one pump was enough, and sometimes I would need a bit more so I just unscrewed the lid to get it out, as it was hard to use the pump to get a small amount of product out. This smells different from the other products in the range, it has a bit of an off smell, more like a mix of tea and bark (sounds odd I know, the only way I can describe it), and wasn’t unpleasant. The texture of this was really smooth and spread really easily. It soaked in super quickly and left my skin feeling smooth. I have noticed my skin has become clearer and I haven’t really had a breakout (odd pimples here and there) since using this for the past 4 weeks. My skin is more dry than oily, however I sometimes get oily in my T-zone, which I have found to be less after using this. My skin is sensitive and did not react at all or get red/itchy or anything from using this so that was great! All in all, I did like this product and will continue to use it!

Tips: 1 pump was usually enough for me!

Serum

I like the packing in this range. Sweet and simple.

I had never used a serum before and didn't know what to expect. I was honestly pleasantly surprised.

Although the smell is a bit strange (almost a woody smell) and it felt a little sticky after application, I really liked this.

I felt like it made my skin soft, glowy and helped control oil.

I liked the pump bottle but it only needs 1-2 pumps to cover your face and neck.
