A very good basic skin care regime

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.

Tips: allow products to absorb fully into the skin before applying the next one to avoid your skin feeling sticky - you don't need a lot!!

I think its also possible to give the serum a miss, I didn't think it really did anything.

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

Good apart from the smell

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.

Under 25s Skin Care Regime

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).

Tips: The moisturiser isn't as effective for dry skin, as it's more intended for oily skin!

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.

Under 25s regime

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.

Didn't do anything for me

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.
