Overall an amazing combination

Loved basically all of these products. I found that they worked well together and noticed a visible difference to my skin. My skin looked more glowy and healthy after having a proper skincare routine everyday. All these products contain very natural ingredients which is great for the skin.

My favourite product of of them all would definitely be the moisturizer. It is affordable and effective! Not only is it light, it also provides matte finish.

Tips: I feel like using them together is more effective than using single products.

Young skin refreshed

Using all five of these products (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser and blemish gel) together definitely mixed up my skin routine for the better and gave some clear improvements. As a gal under 25 it has been important to secure a skin care routine and I found the the Essano range provided everything you need to start or improve what you've tried.

Initially skeptical I had some doubts about the range of soap-free 'clear complexion' products. I launched into them having 'softening my pores steam in the shower. After working out the best way to apply the products (that is the order they suggest on the back of the bottle) I started with the cleanser which is a clear gel that doesn't foam much when lathered. I found that the clear colour of the gel made it hard to see what had been washed off but it did leave my skin cleansed. Secondly, I followed up the cleanser with the toner which promised hydration and balance, calming skin. My skin has never been 'angry' so I didn't notice a huge difference from the toner but I appreciated its hydration and refreshment on my normally dry skin. Then I used the moisturiser which claimed to control oil while hydrating without looking like an oil-slick. The consistency for a moisturiser is quite different from what I have normally used as it is more water based. The moisturiser certainly absorbed quickly but I'm not sure how well it was retained. (I also used it as a night cream). Then I followed the routine up with the 'detoxifying serum' which was something I had never used before. I believe this product was specifically targeted to prevent young skin from breaking out. This product didn't have direct application instructions but I just used it like a moisturiser. After applying my skin felt tight and clean, it was easy to control the amount used as it was in a small metal-styled pump bottle. Lastly, I dabbed a small amount of 'rapid action blemish gel' onto some small sebum pimples on different sections of my face. After approximately 3 days I had noticed my pimple reduce in size and redness which was encouraging!

Overall the products have certainly made my skin clearer in complexion, I have noticed less pimples/breakouts! I also gave my skin a break from the cleanser to notice its effect and I have seen an increased level of oil in my skin so I can say that it works!

Natural and gentle skin care regime

Just as the title says, each product has its own way of being gentle and natural feeling on the skin. Each product works with the others perfectly as each product blends into the one before. I noticed my skin become a more even tone which is amazing, and I got smaller blemishes than usual. The highlight was the mist toner as it was amazingly refreshing and definitely an every day product I'll continue to use. My skin has definitely benefited from taking a break from various brands and strong blemish creams - as a result making me feel more confident when I'm not wearing makeup. The natural smells the products give off work well together and make me feel relaxed, and the packaging is perfect to display in the bathroom. You get a decent size with every product that'll last you ages. I would definitely suggest the moisturizer and mist toner to others. But getting the whole regime products has really made my skin look great.

Good value for money

While I did not pay for this range, I do still think you’ll get good value for money. I used the whole range for a few weeks and overall was pretty impressed! I enjoyed using products that were mainly natural with none of the bad things in them. I do think it gave me a clear looking complexion with a bit of life to it, my skin was never dull looking or dried out. While there are a few products I do find them easy to follow and also a little goes a really long way so you don’t need much! I did find my skin looked quite nice, never felt dry or stripped and had a nice glow to it using these products. However one thing I couldn’t get past was the smell, which normally doesn’t bug me but I really disliked this one. Another factor to note is that it takes ages to dry on your face and I found I didn’t enjoy how it made my foundation looked even after a while to dry it still affected it. Sometimes after applying my products the night before and then washing my face the next morning, my face would be slimy which was strange. All in all great value for money and I think someone who doesn’t need to use makeup often this would be perfect for and also sometime who isn’t hugely affected by smells! It does the trick and is super cost effective because a little goes a really long way!

Tips: A little goes a long way so don’t get slap happy! Also If applying makeup over top give it a while to try

Honestly blown away

There's 5 products in this line: one cleanser, followed by a four step skincare process. My review will go in order of application. Buckle in, this is gonna be a long one.

Cleanser: Thick, clear gel with quite a window cleaner smell that’s a little stronger than I like. It doesn't foam up much, but definitely leaves my face feeling squeaky clean The tube allows easy control of product dispension, and a tiny pea sized drop is enough for my whole face.

Blemish control gel: Soothing gel leaning towards liquid consistency. Only need a tiny bit for each problem area and I just squeeze some out onto my finger then dab it. The little opening in the tube allows really careful control of how much you get out. I feel like my pimples 'dry up' and heal faster when I use this, and it seems to have antiseptic properties to prevent extra pus.

Toner: This smells BAD. It's a terrible mix of hospital disinfectant, chemical cleaners, and just bad memories all round. At first I found this unbearable, and was almost tempted to stop using this. But now I've gotten a bit more used to it. Another complaint about this one is the spray is too strong, instead of a fine mist, I end up squirting myself on the face in just one patch. The toner itself is actually not bad. It makes the application of the following steps smoother and seems to help the absorption. I store it in the fridge so it's nice and refreshing when I use it.

Serum: This comes out of a metal pump bottle, and even though it recommended two pumps or more, I find that just one is enough for my face and neck. Putting it on my face feels very soothing, it just glides on and spreads so easily. It's quite a thin gel type texture, and absorbs insanely fast leaving my face feeling completely dry (but in a good way). It smells very natural, like sesame seeds but also kind of medicinal. I think this is a good pre-step to the moisturiser, as it adds in that extra bit of moisture.

Moisturiser: this is a very thick gel, almost like a cream. Again this is in a tube and I only need about 3/4 of a pea sized dollop. At night time or when my skin feels quite dry I might put a little more on five minutes after the first application. This seems to lock in all the products before it, and I can easily apply makeup or sunscreen overtop without my face looking too shiny.

I'll have to use it for another good month or two before seeing any long term improvements, but in the short term this has wowed me. Favourite product is definitely the blemish gel, since it's the most potent. The serum is also quite nice, I feel like when it's really hot I could even skip the moisturiser and use the serum alone. The spray of the toner needs a little tweaking, and the smell of the cleanser and the toner is a little annoying, but otherwise I'm pretty happy. The prices are really good, and I’ll definitely repurchase the blemish gel, the serum and maybe the others if I see good results in the long run.

Tips: Decant the toner into a mist bottle for a more even spray.

Essano Under 25s Skin Care Regime

First off, I love the packaging and the set it comes with, it includes everything you need for a full skin care regime. Face Cleanser, mist toner, Serum, moisturizer and Blemish Gel. The Smell isn't great, it's not bad but it's not good but I found it wasn't enough to put me off at all it's just a very subtle earthy aroma which isn't all that noticeable. I think having everything in a set like that makes it easier to remember each step for some reason. The cleanser was probably my least favorite product, I didn't find it particularly different from any cleansers I've used before although it definitely makes my skin feel fresh, that was about it. I didn't think I would like the serum but I found it to be very softening and made my skin feel very smooth afterwards a liittle also goes a long way it was not unlike the moisturizer which was very similar but had a different consistency. The mist toner was very refreshing but I don't feel like it's a very effective toner itself but it is really nice to cool down the face. I must say though the blemish gel was pretty rubbish for me, it made my pimples feel and look worse and I'm pretty sure it broke me out further in the areas it was applied to. All in all it's a nice set, but I don't know how effective it is as I haven't noticed my skin tone looking better and I wonder about the balance it's supposed to create as some patches of my skin were a little over dried but the oily parts were more normal, which is nice, but still not balanced. I think I will keep using this as it's simple and I really want to see if in a few months it evens out but would I buy this full set with my own money and re-purchase? Most likely not, and if I did I would probably feel more inclined to purchase the serum on it's own.

Essano clear complexion regime naturally nurturing

Essano is such a breakthrough in supermarket skin care it has organic ingredients, is naturally derived, free of chemicals including disgusting mineral oils, parabens, silicone, free of everything bad and no gmo's! this stuff is amazing, it is also clinically proven, cruelty free recyclable and made in New Zealand.

The packaging is lovely although it's a beautiful feminine shade of pink silver and lilac definitely won't appeal to both sexes.

It is more then what it says.... It has so many extra elements, and every product contains natural herbs or nutrients instead of synthetic, that are easily absorbed and make skin feel alive and rejuvenated. It detoxifies the skin with bioDtox which detoxifies skin naturally cleans pores and controls oil.

This trial was for my teenage sun who has pimples and oily skin at the moment. Although his skin is beautiful with olive tones he does like to take care of his skin. He did not like the packaging, but I did and i have an oily T zone so it's perfect for me

The cleanser smells like goody gumdrops it left my skin feeling refreshed and clean. My son said it felt nice and clean The toner took awhile to absorb but felt nice and moisturizing, it contains witch hazel which is great for toners. It contains loads of other herbs and nutrients and felt amazing especially to refresh skin in summer. It smells divine like sweet nectar and honey.

The blemish gel actually almost cleared his pimples in three days, his skin looked so nice. It seemed to work quite well.

The serum smells like playdo for some weird reason. I preferred to use it at night as it seemed to leave a layer on my skin, it worked well though and made my skin feel tight and less oily and like it was improving it's tone. My son Saud it made his skin a bit shiny

The moisturiser is beautiful it smells like caramelised honey and it's a fantastic makeup base especially for oily T zone. It absorbed in seconds, my skin felt moisturised and glowing. It's better then a primer and it's all natural!!

Tips: Use the toner it really helps get the skin ready for moisturizing even though it takes an extra minute it helps detoxify skin

Where has this been all my life!

This range is amazing! Aside from a few odd smelling products (I.e the toner and serum) these all work well and do as the product is described. Packaging is cute, girly and pink. All containers are closed with either a screw cap or firm click, which is good for the traveller. I have been using the face wash, cleanser, serum and toner non stop since receiving this package and have seen an oil decrease in my T-zone. It’s still there, but takes a lot longer to appear throughout the day. I noticed I do not wake up with an oily face. Each product is not thick with oily residue, but evaporates fast and leaves the skin feeling dry yet somehow moisturised. I have sensitive skin and noticed no appearance of eczema or rash and did not experience any burning sensation on application. The pimple cream SEEMS to work as it says, but I have not been using it on any active pimples. It does not appear to irritate old pimples, and reduces redness. Overall, I love these products and have found a new face care routine!! HALLELUJAH.

Tips: The serum is very drying and feels as though you are wearing a face mask for around 10mins. I talked to my friend who also received this range and she said she did not experience this. So perhaps my face was just excited from the experience. If this is the case for you, I figured makeup application after using the serum is a waste of time as foundation appears to stick in patches...uhoh! Definitely use the serum as it sucks up oil (YAY) but perhaps use before bed rather than in the morning.
