essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser Review

Aleyah (15) has loved using the Essano Clear Complexion range. This moisturiser has seriously helped with her crazy hormonal skin.

Her skin is no longer super oily and red. Breakouts are minimal now.

Again no scent, a slim easy to squeeze tube , could be a little bigger , soaks in nicely keeping her skin hydrated throughout the day.

I would prefer it have a spf as well as Teens can be terrible at protecting their faces from the sun.

I think this product is the star of the show , very calming and soothing. Aleyahs skin has improved so much and we've tried so many for her skin , most just agrivated it.

I love how this range is organic.

The moisturiser helps to make my skin feel nice and hydrated while moisturising and controlling oil. I have sensitive skin and it hasn’t made me break out or react which is good!

It doesn’t really have a smell to it so it is good for sensitive skin as some perfumes can be irritating.

A little goes a long way and it soaks quite quickly into my skin.

I definitely will keep using this!

Like the cleanser from this range, this comes in a simple plastic tube. You get 75ml of product, which actually seems quite little compared to most of my other moiturisers. Luckily you only need a tiny amount (like size of one pea) for your whole face.

Its texture is halfway between a cream and a gel, but it's definitely on the more solid side. Nonetheless it still spreads easily and is easy to pat into my face. It doesn't leave my face feeling greasy and it absorbs into my skin amazingly. Five minutes after applying this my face literally feels dry to the touch. There's none of that oilyness or light stickiness that some moiturisers leave. This feels 'dry' like I had just washed my face yet I feel moisturised. Magical stuff! Now this means that I can apply any makeup directly on top, and I don't have to worry about it feeling or looking oily. I hate the way foundation slides on top of sunscreen and most of my other moisturisers. But this is completely different! I'm loving how bare my face feels, and how well my foundation sits on my skin after applying this.

It seems to do a pretty good job of moisturising my face. And I think in conjunction with the other products from this range it is helping to control my everyday acne as well as help those monster pimples that crop up heal faster.

I trialled this moisturiser when BR gave me the whole Essano Clear Complexion range to try!

This product has an interesting scent (fruity baby food is how I've described it to friends) and an interesting (almost lumpy) texture. That might not be for everyone but I actually really like it. It's definitely different from other moisturisers that I've used.

I like to use a moisturiser under my makeup each day. This moisturiser is really good for that as it doesn't stick to my foundation or clump like I've had with other brands. I will say that when it's sinking into your skin, it does give off a little bit of that "tight" feeling, but it has only been a fleeting feeling for me and otherwise it's felt great all day long!

I would recommend this moisturiser as a great everyday moisturiser that is made up of great ingredients. :)

This actually did what it says it would, oil control! I normally find my skin getting overly oily from using moisturizers but I had a noticeable decrease in my usually oily spots from only a few uses. Unfortunately, I didn't love the consistency or the feeling of my skin for awhile after using it (nor the smell so much) but it did what I hoped it would do! I just hope they look to further improve on this formula in the future. All in all something I would like to use regularly as part of my makeup routine and I would probably buy this again as well.

This product is amazing! I highly recommend it as it works extremely well for my oily skin type. It is said to be fast absorbing and able to provide a shine-free finish which I agree with completely. Also love the faint smell of vanilla!

This is a really lightweight moisturiser that really does control oil. I get oily patches on my skin and it gets unpleasant when I wake up to it. However ever since using this moisturiser it has really helped tone down the oiliness but keeps the life in my skin. You only need a very small amount and it soaks into the skin very quickly and well. It isn't very fragrant either which is a nice change from other moisturisers where the scent is so unnatural and overpowering. Overall a really pleasant moisturiser.

This is probably one of my favourite moisturisers I have come across. 95.69% of the ingredients are of natural origin, it's cruelty free and made in NZ!

It has a really nice smell kind of like a subtle banana scent. It feels fresh when applied, and soaks in fast leaving skin nice a hydrated and yet it soaks up oil at the same time. It is amazing! The texture is somewhere between a cream and a gel. It has become such a staple in my routine, I love this moisturiser and will continue to use it and will probably buy more!

This moisturiser was pretty nice. It definitely worked well in terms of oil control as I could use it in the morning and by the afternoon my face wasn't all shiny and slick (as it can be in hot weather). So that part of it I really liked. I would have preferred if it did have an SPF in it as during summer I work outside almost all day but then it wouldn't have been suitable for night use so I understand why they didn't do it. The smell i didn't mind too much but I didn't love it. The texture was a bit odd, not quite like other moisturisers but I didn't find it unpleasant so it didn't put me off. I'll definitely be using the rest of the tube, even if just at night.

This moisturizer was really nice, although it wasn't anything spectacular, I think its a nice moisturizer that is easily available and I would use this again.

The moisturizer comes in a basic squeeze tube. But it matches the rest of the line and is quiet pretty.

The moisturizer itself is a thick gel formula, I found that did need a little more of this than my typical moisturizer. This was really lightweight on the skin and did absorb quickly. I found my skin was sufficiently moisturized and it did help control my oil. Overall I think this is a very nice moisturizer and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good supermarket moisturizer.
