essano Clear Complexion Regime Review

This skincare regime has the "natural" tag written all over it, but with this being such an overused claim I think it is important to clarify that Essano actually use natural, recognisable ingredients such as witch hazel, rosemary and aloe vera. Not only do they use them, they are prominent in their products, not just an afterthought at the bottom of an ingredients list. A lot of their ingredients are organic (yay), the range is affordable (yay!) and it works to control oil and prevent breakouts (triple yay!) An affordable, readily available range that actually works. This skincare regime would be a great option for teenagers new to skincare or anyone with oily or blemish prone skin. My skin is less oily when using this range, yet it is still nourished and hydrated. The packaging is pretty yet practical and the routine is easy to understand and use. The stand-out products for me were the toner and moisturiser. If I could only purchase four of the five products, I would leave the serum at the store. Overall, a great regime.

To start off the packaging is very cute and decent sized products. The ingredients are very clear and so are the directions. First time I used these products I noticed they didn't have much of a fragrance to them which I prefer. I followed the instructions of all of them and done them in order and my skin felt amazing. I found these perfect for my dry skin. The serum was stronger in smell and singly tingled my skin but it wasnt anything horrible. I found myself using the toner mist quite a lot even if I wasn't using the other products the most I have used much more. I found after the first week of using the products my skin broke out a little bit hut I believe that was the products drawing out all of the germs dirt and imperfections out of my skin because it cleared up within a week and hasn't happened again since.

I will definitely continue using these products more and most likely even purchase these items.

I have really enjoyed trialing these beautifully packaged products. The fragrance is odd, but the more important issue is whether or not these products are good for under 25s.

Personally, my favourite item was the spot gel. I will repurchase this as I felt it was very effective and did actually stop spots from reaching their full potential hehe.

The cleanser and toner I will happily keep using. They aren't the best I've ever had, but they are light and do the job.

The moisturiser and serum I had trouble with. Over the last week I've noticed that pores on my forehead, nose and chin are extremely blocked with black build up. YUCK. To be fair, it could be because I've been using sunblock a lot more with the beautiful weather in Wellington. However, I do feel that the moisturiser and serum sat on my skin and in the process of blocking oil production, they possibly also blocked pores altogether. Just a theory, but seems plausible to me.

Overall, I will still recommend to anyone with serious oil control or breakout issues.

I've never had more tha a 3 step face routine to adding a couple of extra steps took a little while getting used to. There were individual pieces if this collection that I enjoyed and would probably use again but a couple of the things I didn't really enjoy. As a whole I think it does an okay job. I believe that after 4 weeks of using it my skin is looking better, I have had fewer breakouts and I'm less oily during the day. The smell really doesn't do it for me. For the most part it's not a bad smell but I think it could smell better. The Serum however I really don't like the smell of, there's something quite off-putting about it which is a real shame because I enjoyed using it. The packaging is quite cute and appealing. It all is nice and uniform and would definitely encourage me to pick it out from the shops. It is all a great price too. I really like the amount of natural ingredients used in these products and I think it would suit someone who has problematic and sensitive skin quite well.

Absolutely loved trialling this and will definitely continue using! I think all the products in this set go so well together and compliment each other! I don't feel like anything is missing from this set and feel like all products are equally important, and don't feel like any are just "filler" products.

I have skin that seems to change with the seasons, being dry in Winter and oily in Summer and this set came at the perfect time! After using this set I've noticed visible differences in my skin, my skin being a lot less red and I've had nowhere near as much spots and blemishes as I would normally this time of year!

Would definitely recommend this whole set to people with oily skin, I especially liked the blemish control gel and detoxifying serum! I think it would be a perfect gift, as we're coming up to the Christmas season, for a friend, family member or, most importantly, yourself!

I think that this range was alright, but not spectacular. Everything did what it was supposed to, but nothing excelled. The cleanser worked well, but wasn't effective on makeup. The toner was refreshing and could easily be used throughout a hot day for hydration. The serum was a let down for me. The moisturiser works well - being hydrating yet still mattifying. The blemish control gel works well too, helping to control breakouts.

Overall, I would probably repurchase the cleanser, moisturiser and control gel, but would pass on the other two.

I liked the colour scheme and packing of this range as a whole. The white and pink with silver was cute and looked good. Overall, I found that my complexion is clearer and I have noticed less breakouts! My skin has been looking healthier and I have less redness. I think all these products have worked really well together on my skin! I found it slightly odd that the scents of the products weren’t cohesive and most of them tended to smell different to each other, which didn’t really bother me, I just expected them to smell similar, as most products from the same range smell similar (in my own experience of the products of the same range that I have used). My skin is more than oily and found that I didn’t get a lot of moisture or hydration from these products. However, they are more targeted towards controlling and balancing oil- and I found that my T-zone that gets less oily since using these products. They are all suitable for sensitive skin- I have not had any reactions, irritations or redness from any of these products! I was so pleased about this, as it is difficult for me to find products that don’t irritate my sensitive skin. These products are all really affordable and are all natural, which I really like! I personally probably would not repurchase all of these products (mostly due to the fact that they are not necessarily suited to dry skin), but my favourite ones would have to be the blemish gel and the serum (and the cleanser close behind).

I was very impressed to receive such a range of products! I loved how it is all organic. The packing is super cute and simple. The smells of everything are very faint and don't really have a specific scent. I didn't like it at first but as I used it every day I just got used to it.

I think the system works really well together as a whole. My skin is clear, soft, and not oily (yay!). I hadn't used a proper skincare regimen before this, but now that I have started, I really want to continue! I love the whole range because I have really sensitive skin and finding the right skincare products can be an absolute nightmare.

I think I'll be sticking with these products!

I think the only thing missing from this U25's range is an exfoliator! It would help to even out skin tone and really make my skin feel fresh

As a Parent of a Teen who gets so upset at her skin doing it's own thing, this regime has to be the best on the market!

It's gentle yet so effective. Natural which is a big tick in our family.

Aleyah's (15) skin has done a complete 180 , it really has. There's no angry looking throbbing spots, barely any blackheads. Her skin tone has evened right out .

This is going to be a staple in our household, especially for my 13 (going on 20)

She's really happy about her skin now, thank you BR for the amazing opportunity to change Miss 15's skin

I have oily skin that is prone to acne and blackheads as well as a lot of redness, scaring and texture.

The packaging on the regime is nice, simple and goes well together. I really appreciated the fine tip on the blemish gel. I didn't really like the mister on the toner (it squirted rather than creates a mist) and found the pump on the serum to be a little flimsy)

Overall I found this to be a pretty good skin care regime. Overall I found this did prevent further breakouts and controlled my oil. But its not my favourite.

I found that this skin care regime did help prevent further breakouts and kept my skin relatively clear. I do get quiet bad hormonal acne and this regime managed to keep this to a minimum. I don't feel like it did much to help remove already existing acne and breakouts. These products are really lightweight and feel nice on the skin, but as a consequence of this I feel like it clean my skin as well as other products.

Typically I get oily throughout the day, but since using this product I noticed that whilst I am still oily, it has greatly been reduced.

I did really like the moisturizer and blemish gel.They are very lightweight and the blemish gel isn't drying. The moisturizer is a gel formula that is quiet thick but doesn't feel heavy on the skin.

I didn't like the toner or the serum. I didn't like the mister on the toner, it just squirted the product at your skin rather than creating the mist, and I found the packaging on the serum to be quiet flimsy and the product quiet sticky. These products left a weird residue on my skin, but I found this disappeared when I applied the moisturizer.

Over all, whilst the serum and toner was disappointing, the system does work quiet well, and I think this would be a great starting regime for people trying to get into skincare. I like that its made from natural products as well. I think these products do very well compared to other products from the supermarket, so if you want effective but affordable skin care, I do recommend checking out this system.
