Essano Man SPF15 Moisturiser

Lightweight, non-greasy formula. The fragrance was not overpowering and has a masculine scent. My husband doesn't use much in the way of face products so it will take a little longer to get him into the habit of using it every morning.

Good product for the most part: husband and son both liked using it and it applied smoothly. Prevented windburn really effectively for all of us going out for walks in the winter sun and wind. Would have liked much less fragrance and a higher SPF, however its still a good sell for my skincare-product adverse husband.

Nice manly packaging compared to Essano womans skincare range.. scent was as most reviews say it smells MANLY. My husband was convinced to give it a go as I was having such good results with my essano skin care products. He said it was a good product, left his skin feeling softer and more hydrated. smell wasnt over powering for him. Fingers crossed he keeps using it as his skin looks like its benefited!

This is a lovely moisturiser, and it's good that it's got a little bit of SPF in there too (could go up to SPF 30 however, just to provide a bit more protection?). It lived up to it's "no irritation" claim, and it's great to have an affordable, plant-based moisturiser option. The only downside is that the scent is quite strong - not everyone wants to smell like this archetypal "man" scent!!

Love the "manly" smell my partner would not use anything floral so definitely something he is happy to use, non sticky light and with added SPF, going a tradie he needs this, but this could be a higher rating

Nice product, great smell but could do with higher SPF for NZ

Nice smell, not too oily. Great to be moisturised and protected from the sun. Perhaps needs higher SPF for summer?

Not greasy, fresh feeling, great smell, liked the size of it to bring in gym bag great that it includes sun protection too

My husband has just started using moisturisers and he thought this was ok. He liked that it wasnt greasy or oily feeling on his skin or hands. He didn't have to use much so a little goes a long way. He did like that it had a mild smell to it as he doesn't like strong fragrance on any body products.

My partner loves the packaging and smell but found that after a week of use he broke put quite bad so maybe this was too oily for him

My son tried this for me. He says that it makes his skin soft & safe to use on his acne prone skin.

Even though it says MAN, I tried this product and found that it felt great on the skin and was an added bonus that it was also SPF15. The product was non-greasy and easy to apply. My only suggestion would be to maybe remove the word "MAN" and advertise it as a gender neutral product, so that anybody can use it.

This product has exceeded my expectations. It has a pleasant masculine fragrance, goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly, and has completely dealt to problem areas on my face that had been effected by dermatitis. I had been trying to combat this for months with supermarket brands, with no success. I would highly recommend this product and will be buying it again!

Hubby reported this felt light on his skin and not at all greasy. This is big for him, he's terrible at putting anything on his skin but he is liking this.

Not super sure why this is specifically for a 'man' but nevertheless I tried this product and I think it works amazingly. Really light on the skin and appreciated the added SPF15. A little goes a long way - the formula is nice and creamy.

I got my teenage son to use this one for me, although I did try it one day myself. It was a nice light cream, that he said left his skin feeling moisturised but not greasy at all. Was easy to apply, & not a lot needed for great coverage. He has decided to use it daily now, & it’s great that it has the added bonus of spf protection without the yucky feel

I asked my husband to try it, he doesn't usually put anything on his face, but he liked this and mentioned that his skin felt nice afterwards. I like the smell too it has a fresh masculin smell that's not too strong. Would have been better with a higher SPF for our nz sun.

I'm a woman so this product wasn't really designed with me in mind, but I really like it! It is light and non oily. My sensitive skin doesn't react to it. Typically I don't like using SPF 30 on my face every day even though you are supposed to, as I get blocked pores easily. I feel like this product is a good compromise. Essano Man SPF15 Moisturiser gives you some sun protection for causal sun exposure, which should be enough, especially in winter. It also performs well as a moisturiser and kept my skin hydrated.

I enjoy using this moisturizer. It smells great and works perfectly. It moisturizes my skin and does not make my face oily. It has a gentle manly scent that my daughter can also use it.

Review from the males in my house, All 3 said it was very soft, gentle, smells good and even better, with our family being out on the boat fishing all the time, their skin can become quiet dry, they have loved using this and have noticed a huge change in the softness of their skin.

Since my husband didn't want to try it, I tried it on myself. The product is light, easy to rub in and keep the skin soft and hydrated. However, I didn't like the smell, it's a bit strong for my liking but it doesn't last for long so it's okay-ish. The biggest drawback is the spf15. Under Auckland's sun, even in winter, I can feel the burn. I usually use spf30 for my family so this feels like a downgrade. Would be reconsidering if it comes with spf30 because I do like how light the cream is. Overall, I will just continue using my moisturiser, which smells much nicer, and put spf30 sunscreen on top.

Review from my partner who has sensitive skin; It’s easy to rub in, isn’t oily, and leaves my face feeling refreshed

Review from teenage son: was a nice Moisturizer. Definitely better than some stuff we have used. Smelt nice and skin wasn't oily, or itchy. We could buy.

My partner doesn’t normally use any facial products but tried this and said it was light, non-oily and smelt nice. With the SPF15 in it I may end up using it myself, if he doesn’t.

Review from husband: A little bit goes a long way. Smelt nice, didn't feel oily on the skin.

Yes it says for men but it works great for women too. I started using this about 18months ago when I couldn't find a face cream with SPF at the local supermarket, and I wouldn't change now.its light and non greasy.great for dry skin in winter weather and goes well under makeup.

Review from Husband: Really nice light moisturiser that doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or oily. Rubs in easily, and has a nice scent. Would definitely buy again.

A really nice moisturiser. Vey gentle and really nice absorption, leaves a nice glow, but not too obvious, maintain a very natural look.

Hubby found this to be slightly greasy initially but then it was fine.

Smell is unappealing to me, struggle to use it

not greasy

Wow feels incredible on my Skin

Seemed to work well on skin

Might purchase again in place of my existing moisturiser depending on price

Light and fresh moisturizer

Nice scent

Like it

Great

Typically moisturiser look and feel. Smell was nice, although after smell was a bit soapy, which was odd for a moisteriser. Skin felt good after using it.

Hubby is not a Moisturiser type of guy, so sample was given to our son who found it was great.

Was a good way to encourage my partner to use moisturiser. It was great that it included spf15, so I know he is going to be protected during the day. He said it made his skin feel nice and soft. I thought it made his skin glow.

Not too gloopy on the skin, good product

He loved it and will use it as "often as he remembers"

As far as moisturisers go, this was absorbed reasonably well and has an SPF rating which is always handy. Personally, we don't need gendered moisturiser but for those who are looking specifically for a men's product this is worth a try.

Would purchase again

A great product of for the men in our lives who may be hesitant to use moisturiser /SPF as part of their daily routine.

Worked really well. Non greasy and light

My son loved it

He loved it, nice smell

Does what it says, partner doesn't use these products

Didn't use as my skin is senstive ( and I'm not a man)

Love, already an Essano product buyer so will now add this to our regular purchases

The man has been converted to using a moisturiser!

Works well. Doesn't have a sunscreen feel to it

A pleasant product but not for us.

Feels nice to apply and not oily = would try again

Husband loved this, excited it was male orientated and has used since.

Man says: smelt good, felt good. No complaints.

Excellent product for sunblock and keeping the skin moisturised.

My husband used it and liked it

Liked the feel on the skin and the lovely scent - will definitely purchase.

Absorbs nicely, doesn't sweat out. Nice smell. like the fact it is SPF15. Husband used it and likes that it's not too girly.

A very light moisturiser, this is easy to get a man to use who might usually avoid such products. Comes in a nice travel size and has a nice scent. Its a bonus that it is also a light sunscreen. Absorbs quickly and easily

Great man moisturiser

A well priced man moisturiser

Hubby thought it was ok

Hubby's skin is silky smooth. Subtle fragrance.

Fast absorption, feels lite on the skin, and is non greasy. NZ made is an added bonus.

Really Liked

Gentle on sensitive skin and leaves health feeling skin

My partner used this and says the smell isn't as strong as his other stuff

Great for my husband especially the spf

Boys have used this and like it.

Good moisturiser, not greasy.

Husband likes

Husband really likes

Seems like a good moisturizer, but just can't convince my husband to keep using it. It's not really the product's fault, he just has zero interest in skincare. Maybe if it was a higher SPF he would use it, but 15 is too low for the NZ sun and his burning-prone skin.

My partner really liked this product. It is ideal for him with the SPF15 it means it protects his skin when he is out and about too.

Is great for dry skin. Worked really quickly. Smells nice.

Very hard to buy a men’s moisturiser with a SPF. Rating. So good for those guys who work outside. Not greasy and very user friendly.

Great feeling on the skin. Non greasy & Great smell. Good travel size as well.

Husband loved it, nice smell and good on your skin.

I tried it although it did have a strong masculine scent. Given to hubby to use. Love a moisturiser with a SPF in. He’s terrible at using sunscreen but uses moisturiser, so think this will be a good option for him in the future...

Nice product. Non greasy. Husband happy

.

Kept hydrated all day! and no intense fragrance

Nice moisteriser but not as good as my regular one

Hubby likes this :)

Leaves your skin lovely and soft.

love it love the brand

I liked the fact that this has sunblock in it (hopefully tested by a legit lab). Ity great as an after shave

Love that this brand is vegan. This is why I buy it. and great for my skin.

Great non greasy product at a reasonable price

Moisturised all day

I like the fragrance of this one, hubby seems to like using it.

Partner likes it but not as much as his old stuff.

My husband has used this product for a while and is happy with it. He works outside a lot so his skin needs looking after. This is non-greasy and does moisturise well.

It's probably quite good but hubby is not into personal skin care

Great product! My husband was very pleased with the results.

My husband said he liked it

Smells amazing and a good texture.

Smells lovely and like that it is SPF

the man of the house says he will use it again! What more can I say.

Excellent product. Light, non greasy, absorbers well, NZ made, pleasing packaging and very good value. Would take SPF claims with a pinch of salt but better than nothing

My husband is a convert and has asked me to get one for his golf bag.

Does the job nicely

Easy to apply and non scented.

Gentle, smelt nice, and has SPF

Great product non-greasy, easier to apply and non-scented. Feels good on.

Big fan!

Hubby liked this. He doesn’t usually wear moisturiser. I may have converted him as he’s going to continue to use this.

Great moisturiser- worked well

Very nice smell to the product, almost like an aftershave but subtle. Good effect on skin.

Nice consistency and felt nice on skin

Hubby used it

haven't seen mens brand before

I don't use item like these

Love the women's products but the man in the house isn't a man product user. Regifted to Son-in-law and he loved it. He's asked for more for his birthday!

great for my husbands delicate skin, loved the purity of the product, no chemicals

Great product, had my skin feeling awesome

Hubby was a little shy in trying but have it by his chair so he can use it whenever his face needs moisturising- not the products fault- his in getting him to use it

Good quality

First time in his life my husband tried some skin care and really liked this as it did not leave a oil free after use

First time in his life my husband tried some skin care and really liked this as it did not leave a oil free after use

My husband liked this product

Gave to my son-in-law - he said he would use it again

Husband will use.

Liked by the male in my house and great that it has a sunscreen in it

Very well received by hubby (actually had to fight 28 year old son for it!!)

ok not my thing

Not bad stuff

This product was very well received by both of the males in our home!!! I guess I will be adding it to the shopping list for them !!

Not a product I would buy but my son loved it!!
