Amazing!

This is an awesome product and delivers! The natural retinol in this product prevents from side effects usually caused by retinop such as acne and flaking. Value for money and it works!

Tips: Apply moisturizer after 20 minutes to lock in the retinol

Retinol Alternative

I’ve heard that retinol is one of the only scientifically proven skincare ingredients you can get so I was keen to try it. I came across this Essano one which is actually a natural retinol from something called Bukuchiol. I tried it morning and night for a couple of weeks but realised the instructions say not to use it in the morning (fail!). Anyhow about 4 drops at night was enough. The serum really does feel like an oil, not light like I was expecting - I guess that’s the rosehip oil component in it. Because of this I didn’t really like the scent which reminded me of a previous rosehip purchase I didn’t enjoy. It feels a little oily on my skin so I wait 15 minutes or for it to sink in before I apply my night cream. I’ve got pretty strong combination skin so didn’t really feel any sensitivity whilst using this like I might do with an AHA but it was a little oily for me. After using for a while I’m not sure whether it’s done much but I do see I’m less clogged up on my nose and my tone has evened out. Using this had made me decide to try a more chemical retinol next and if you are sensitive this one might be a nice alternative.

Tips: If you want to try it as a primer it’s really nice under a BB cream.

Fantastic

I got this in the most recent BBBE and I love it. I like Essano products but my usual gripe is the smell - rosehip, I don't really like it. But this one doesn't smell so that's a great start.

It comes in a cool dropper bottle and is small and easy to access and use. the product is oily and it doesn't take much to get full coverage. It feels lovely on my skin and is very hydrating. I have been using it at nights mainly and my skin still feels plump in the mornings, and also appears smooth and clear. I do have sensitive patches but this product is soothing and causes no irritation. I rarely wear make up now because it seems a bit pointless under a mask so when I put this on in the daytime it gives my skin a bit of a glow, which I like.

I love that it is a plant based retinol serum and that the bakuchiol is providing antioxidants to my skin..

It is a great product at a great price and I do recommend trying it. I always love finding a product that is simple and just does what I want it to do, and this is one of those products.

Tips: Apply to clean skin at nights, then apply a small amount to clean skin again in the morning for a fabulous result.

Hello, Younger Me

Received in Xmas BBBE 21'. Have been using for a couple of weeks now. Results for me so far have been: my skin tone looks even and really beautiful. Skin is soft and looks brighter, from within. I feel like my skin looks like younger me. Wonderful product with wonderful results.

Huge fan, keen to repurchase when I finish this up.

Delightful as usual

Big fan of Essano products, which is why I was so delighted to find this in my Christmas BBBE. After having used this pretty regularly at night for a couple of months (it’s only running out now!) I’ve noticed the fine lines on my forehead are… gone? I’m turning 28 soon so there probably wasn’t much to start with. In any case, I’m chuffed with that result. The other wrinkles/lines on my face were developing under and in the outter corners of my eyes. Those ones haven’t really diminished heaps, but they haven’t got worse either. I’m not sure if I will purchase again for a while as the lines/wrinkles aren’t very concerning to me. I will, however, continue using other Essano products as I always find them helpful and useful.

Helped my breakouts

I was recommended this to help with my stress breakouts and it really helped ! Reduced redness and helped heal my problem areas, loved using this after a shower. I haven’t got any wrinkles yet but we all know that looking after and treating our skin Is the best tactic.

Tips: Remember the best treatment for future skin is to look after it now

Nice product

Nice product, I was looking for a retinol alternative that wasn’t super expensive. I’d been using another brand, but was finding it expensive to keep buying and wanted to try something else. I really like this, it smells great with a nice texture. I’m turning 30 this year, so I’ve been wanting to add active products to my routine, I’ve noticed my skin is less red, and my active breakouts clear more quickly and don’t get as inflamed. Overall would continue to purchase as it’s a great price and seems to be effective so far.

Tips: A little goes a long way. I like to let mine soak in, and then apply moisturiser over the top to seal it in

Retinol alternative

I haven’t really used retinol before using this product which I found instantly brighten my skin and smoothed fine lines. It transformed my skin making it dewy and younger looking after the applied it. Lovely to use under my moisturiser.

...be careful... not for all skin types

My skin is not typically sensitive, but once in a while a product can be a little much for my skin. This serum is one of them

The serum itself is lovely, and light. Only a few drops needed. I tried to persevere with it a couple more times - days apart, until I realised we were not going to be friends and my skin was about to be ruined.

For me - not long after applying, I'd feel my skin heating up to a burning point, and in the mirror I could see it was bright red. I immediately cleansed my face and popped a barrier cream on but the burning feeling continued. Every use the same reaction - I stopped at 3 uses. I did a little research after this, and my experience isn't a one off sadly - but there were lots and lots of happy customers too...

I love Essano products, so I think this one is just an extra powerful retinol product - and definitely not for all skin types. I took a bit of repair with barrier cream to get my skin to recover. I have used a lot of retinol products - some more powerful I would have thought - and I've had no issues with them, so it could be the natural ingredient that didn't agree with my skin I suspect

I'd caution anyone that has sensitive skin or can react to products from time to time, as this one was definitely one of the more severe reactions I've had in a really long time!

essano Wrinkle Rescue Natural Retinol

I absolutely love this. I have dry skin so I love the texture of this because it’s like an oil on the slightly thicker side. I love how this is a natural ‘retinol’ so I can use this in the mornings and not be worried about irritation and sun sensitivity. This helps moisturise my dry skin in the morning before I follow up with an actual moisturiser and spf. I love this product a lot and a little goes a long way! I’ve used this everyday for about the last 6 months and still have more than half the bottle left! I don’t have a lot of fine lines and wrinkles so can’t say if this helps with those areas, but as a moisturising agent, I love this and think it works great with dry skin.
