My skin has become a greasy mess this summer, even though I spend majority of the day in a building with aircon, Id be shiny by lunch time and my foundation would look awful by mid afternoon.
I read a few reviews on the Essano Clear Complexion range after spotting it at my local supermarket. For some reason I can be snobby when it comes to what I put on my face (I’m working on that) and have doubts that supermarket range skin care is any good.
However I decided to pick up the oil-control moisturiser as I needed something to see me through till I ordered something else online or went to Mecca. My expectations were low, to the point I that was already mourning the loss of money that I hadn’t spent yet on a high-end mattifying primer.
Not going to lie, I’m usually right about most things. But this was one of those rare times I was wrong AND I was happy about it! This moisturiser does some sort of sorcery to my skin. My face is less shiny. My foundation is still foundation-ing well past 5pm. To I think I spent a mere $20 on this bad boy. Oh, and did I mention the scent? I’d imagine baby Jesus, watching down on his from his cloud throne would smell somewhat similar (it’s nice).
Was dubious as so many other oil control or mattifying moisturisers ( and I have a cupboard full of them) really do nothing for my oilslick of a face but this product really helped control my oil! I get hot,sweaty and oily at my work and usually a few hours in feel like I need to shower my face! With this product I really felt it was the most under control my oil production has ever been. Well priced and will definitely buy again,
Tips: Little goes a long way with this great gel-cream
