This regime, one I stumbled across via a giveaway, has waged war on my acne. I cannot remember a time, pre-regime, when I did not have acne, and now... nothing. I usually get acne's nastiest villian, that underground aggravator captain cystic, and his lumpy presence is yet to be felt. I start with the cleanser (my third tube of this surprisingly effective gel), then the toner (like ice tea mist- bliss), the ahh-mazing smelling serum (like angel feet on the face), then finish with the lovely light moisturiser. I haven't had to use the blemish gel, ironically, as the rest has been so effective. The range features probiotics for the skin, something with the super-powerful name of Bio D Tox (tm), that classic killer of acne that is witch hazel, willow bark, chamomile, other lovelies. The packaging is modern in millenial pink and silver, looks post-worthy on my vanity, and doesn't clog or drip. It is readily available at supermarkets and doesn't cost far north of $10 a piece (less if you're lucky). Don't dawdle, this range is waiting for you and your spotty skin!!

essano Clear Complexion Regime Review
Under 25s Skin Care Regime
Reviews
Tips: Use lightly as you don't need heaps, and apply the rest of the products directly after cleansing, as it will lock in all that goodness.
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.
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!
I have everything but the cleanser as I am using up another one but will definitely purchase once that's finished! The new products have a lovely gentle scent with the toner and moisturiser smelling of soft pear and sugar and the serum smelling like green tea. Toner is lovely, gently scented and refreshing, I am almost out of it already! Serum melts into skin in seconds and moisturiser is a lovely smooth pear scented gel that also absorbs quickly. My skin is noticeably less oily after using this regime for a week and a half a few times a week. I can only imagine how it would look if I wasn't so lazy and used it every day! I love that they have been more light-handed with the fragrance for this new range. An oil controlling tinted suncreen/BB cream would round out the regime perfectly! Please expand this range, I love it!
Tips: Lovely gentle products, give them a try!
I purchased all the above products except the toner and used them religiously after reading raving reviews about it. I didn't purchase the toner as I've never used toner. I used all the products as the directions told me to and I found no change in my skin at all. It was still just as oily and my breakouts were getting worse. I persevered, hoping it might just take a few weeks but unfortunately it didn't get any better and it was to the point my make up was suffering too. I had always had to put on some extra powder to matte my skin down mainly on my nose but my make up was separating everywhere. I was gutted this didn't work for me for a few reasons. The main ones being I had read so many reviews before purchasing it that I was sure it would work and its available at my local supermarket so it was easy to get. I do still purchase the moisturiser as it did help mattify my skin and now that I have gone back to my normal cleanser its an amazing moisturiser.
did not see any big difference to my oily acne prone skin ,the face wash did not foam that much so i feel it did not clean very deeply , the toner and moisturiser and serum is ok ,but mu skin turns oily after half an hour ,my acnes still there ,probably need to take more time .
I was very excited to begin the clear complexion regime. I found 2 of the products extremely helpful and are now part of my daily routine however the remainder I can live with out. The cleanser and serum are 2 products I highly recommend and saw great improvements to my skin in a short period of time however I found the moisturizer and spray toner to feel nice on my skin but after a period of time seemed to add to the build up of oil unfortunately so stopped using them and found improvements. The blemish gel was good and no complaints but have used more effective ones in the past. Overall I was impressed and like to use NZ products and also found the packaging lovely!
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
