essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir

My trial product arrived and I read the instructions and claims listed on the packaging. “Decreases wrinkle depth within 4 weeks”. “Increases skin elasticity and firmness within 4 weeks”. As this product is formulated for mature skin, I was eager to start my trial and see if I experienced results as claimed on the packaging. The application of this product added an extra layer to my morning and evening moisturising regime, but I didn’t mind if I was going to see the results as claimed. Looking after my skin is important to me. I did have some reservations about applying the oil to my skin, but I was pleasantly surprised when I applied it how well it absorbed into my skin. The dropper made for easy application and getting the right amount to apply. I wasn’t a fan of the fragrance, it was sweet and stronger than I would prefer, but this was just a very personal perspective and didn’t deter my use of the elixir. After using the elixir religiously for a few weeks, I was finding my skin to be smoother and feeling firmer, especially around my neck area, and also around my eyes. Some lines on my forehead appeared less prominent. I was pleased with the results. So I guess the question is....would I continue to use this product and in fact buy it? I am pleased to say that yes I would. I would prefer a slightly less fragrant elixir, but I do think this is a good product, and worth adding to your skincare routine.

The elixir comes in a small dropper bottle and has a terrific smell. I used two drops after cleansing my skin day and night before my moisturiser. Its a really thin oil that spreads well over the face but absorbs very quickly so I didn't look like I had an oil slick on my face. The dewiness still came through after applying moisturiser too which is very complimentary as skin reflected light and wrinkles and fine lines appeared smaller. Helped skin feel very hydrated.

Haven't seen any major changes but certainly the fine lines appear diminished.

The Essano Visible repair elixir is an oil-based product with non-greasy finish - The texture a bit oily to start with but does sink into the skin quite quickly and I could easily apply my moisturiser after. The product comes with a dropper that is very easy to use and no mess, but you can easily have and excess of oil on your hands as you cannot easily control what you need and use it is a bit of trial and error the first few times using the dropper.

The product has a bit of a smell (not overwhelming) however, it does leave the skin looking healthy and glowing after application.

A few drops are all that is needed for full coverage to the face and neck areas. The product is supposed to deliver instant and long-lasting hydration - It does seem to be hydrating my skin and I have now been using this product for just over 2 weeks but can visibly see the lines fading a bit. A little goes a long way - you only need one or two drops both morning and night after cleansing. Be sure to take a time to gently massage this elixir into your face and neck and follow up with a day or night cream. I just used the leftovers onto the back of my hand which seems to be prone to age spots, but I have not seen an improvement there.

The price is reasonable compared to other retinol products and seems if you shop around you can save about $8.

I do like the gold look to the product and packaging - always looks luxurious and the Black/brown combination offset is pleasing to the eye. However, instructions were a bit confusing as we read from left to right - diagram is left to right and second part right to left.... found it a bit confusing but sorted it in the end. The product claims to reduce wrinkles in 4 weeks and increase firmness in 2 weeks - More time using this will tell how effective the product is.

I have a sensitive skin but did not note any stinging or reaction - the first few times it is a bit oily, but you do get used to it.

Not sure I will recommend just yet - as I have not had the benefit of the full 4 weeks -after using it for 2.5 weeks my lines seem a bit less.

I was given the opportunity to review the new Essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir. I was curious to find out more about what an elixir does and according to Google 'Elixirs are generally thinner than serums but usually contain a blend of oils and botanical ingredients to help hydrate and nourish skin'. This was quite spot on considering my experience with the Essano Visible Repair Facial Elixir. The first thing I noticed was the lovely smell - this product smells absolutely beautiful. The serum is light and clear and absorbs instantly. It doesn't feel heavy like an oil, but it is very nourishing and makes my skin feel silky. I use it after cleansing and before moisturising. It feels like an extra layer of nourishment that enhances the moisture levels of my skin. I didn't suffer any breakouts or irritation - I have experienced breakouts with skin oils in the past, so this was a concern of mine. I think this is very good value for money and I will purchase this once my bottle runs out. Lovely product - highly recommended.

Lately Essano has really stepped up what was already a pretty good game. I like their products, though haven't always been keen on the rosehip scent. In any case, I was excited to try this product.

It comes in a gorgeous bronze box that immediately looks like a luxury product. The dropper bottle inside has the same design and looks really lovely. The top unscrews and the product is dispensed through the dropper.

The first thing I noticed about the product was the scent - mmm delicious, though I can't identify it. I can smell it when it's on my skin and I love it. The product itself is a clear light oil, that is very soft and absorbs very quickly into my skin, leaving a soft hydrated feel.

So far I have been using it around 3 weeks and have almost none left. I tend to be a bit heavy-handed with serums and oils though. My skin is looking hydrated and feels soft and healthy, but I'm not sure I can claim that it has increased skin elasticity or firmness nor reduced the depth and degree of wrinkles so far, which are the product claims. I am happy with my skin so far though, as it does look brighter and appears more energised and glowing, as it also claims it will.

Overall a lovely product, and while I can't say it did everything it said it would do, I would certainly use it again and give it a longer time to achieve what it sets out to achieve. I would wear the scent as an actual scent! I do recommend trying it.

Ok so this is the first facial elixir I have tried - I generally rate Essano products so was excited to try this.

I turned 50 in Dec and my skin is definitely needing some help - it's dry and the wrinkles are getting harder to combat! I also have some spots and can see a bit of sag in areas too.

The packaging on this product is nice, I do like the colours - it's in a glass bottle which is great and has a dropper for applying. One thing I found is that the product is pretty runny (as it's like an oil) and you need to be careful when you take the dropper out as it can spill easily. I dropped around 5 drops into the palm of my hand and then rubbed my hands together and applied to my face, neck and decolletage that way. I LOVED the smell of this elixir it's really lovely, even my 9 year old daughter asked me what I had put on my skin the first time :)

I regards to how long it will last me, I think I went a bit overboard when I first started using it and used probably more than I needed lol, so after around 2-3 weeks I only have about quarter of the bottle left. You really need around 5 drops I reckon for a decent coverage for all areas, although the bottle says 3, I used more as I felt it didn't give enough coverage.

Price wise, it seems to vary depending on where you want to purchase from, I found it at New World for $30.99 for a 20ml bottle, which seems like a fair price.

So after using the product for around 3 weeks I do see a difference in my skin - it does seem smoother and looks a bit "nicer" without makeup. I can see a small difference to my wrinkles as promised but I do think that with continued use it will improve more. I would be interested in using the Night Cream and Eye Cream at the same time as this elixir to give an even better boost.

I would purchase this product again and continue to use it :)

The minute 3 ml bottle with a dropper contained the Essano Visible Repair. It is a very fine liquid with an appealing fresh aroma that applies very easily to the skin. I did feel an all-day glow at first application and day cream goes over very easily afterwards. Night cream likewise. Instructions were to use in the am and pm - however, with so little of the elixir my supply only lasted about 8 days. [I will purchase more]. The product feels like luxury, its absorption is immediate and there is never any residue. Throughout the days I used Visible Repair my facial skin felt wonderfully soft and healthy. Once I realised the product would not last the recommended 3-4 weeks I did not waste it on neck and decolletage, preferring to enjoy what I had to the maximum.

When this product arrived, I decided to hopefully and willingly give it a good chance to do what it promised on the packaging. The packaging was tasteful, if a little oversized for the product. The dropper bottle was lovely and easy to use and enabled me to adjust the amount I needed. I was pleasantly surprised by the scent it had, rather nice, and the formula itself was non greasy and light. It was gratefully soaked up by my skin quickly. In order to be objective, I decided to use it only on one half of my face and the back of one hand. I only used about a third of a dropper each use for combined half face and one hand. This is what I have discovered .. my right hand definitely looks younger than my left, the texture is smoother, plumper and softer and I will now have to start catching up my left. As for my face, the texture is softer and feels more hydrated. This product has definitely lived up to the promise of increasing elasticity. It's hard to tell if there has been a reduction in fine lines, but I would prefer to think so. Has it fulfilled its promise of decreasing wrinkle depth, not yet - I'm going to continue use with great hope, on both sides of my face. However what I do love about this range of products is that it's cruelty free and vegan friendly. Would I recommend it to a friend, yes for texture and softness, but for treatment for wrinkles, probably not. PS due to the small amount needed it is very cost effective.

At nearly 87 I am certainly not deluded enough to hope for magic reduction of my multiple wrinkles but I was very interested to discover whether aged skin could reap any benefit from this product.

As I had a very quiet, home based few days on my schedule I chose to simply treat just one side of my face - so that it might be easier to detect any small benefit. Within just a few days the treated side definitely appeared a bit firmer and brighter - so I changed to an entire face routine.

After not much more than a week I can report that my skin is certainly improved - wrinkles, that had deepened and sharpened after more than a year of health issues, are now much soft and less defined , very noticeably those between nose and upper lip.

Such satisfying results so quickly - and I have to confess I do not even follow the instruction re cleanse and tone prior to use - a warm water facecloth suffices! I don't have any Visible Repair Day or Night Cream to follow up with either but have substituted Essano Rosehip Hydrating Regenerating Moisturiser.

I have been using this on and off for the last 4 weeks. Unfortunately I find it causes my skin to break out in a few spots which is why I have to stop it for a couple of days when this happens and then continue on. I do however, think it is working, there is a small reduction in wrinkles on my forehead in particular and under my neck. I do find this serum is very runny, I slowly drop it on my skin and have to work quickly to smooth it over my face and neck. It does however, smell absolutely divine as most Essano products do. You only need a small amount so the bottle will last a while. I look forward to using it in conjunction with a day cream and eye cream and seeing the combined results.
