ESSENCE

An essence is a lightweight liquid, packed with antioxidants, that absorbs quickly into the skin. It is applied after cleansing and toning, helping to hydrate the skin and optimises the absorption of serums and moisturisers applied afterward. As essences treat the skin on a cellular level, it ensures your skin looks dewy and revitalised!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an essence?

An essence is the first step in addressing a skin concern with a high concentration of active ingredients. Essences also provide extra hydration to the skin and helps your skin better absorb the products you apply after it.

How to use an essence?

You should apply an essence after cleansing and toning, but before applying serum or moisturiser. Dispense a few drops of product into your hands, then gently pat the liquid into your skin. Allow it to absorb before proceeding with the next step of your skincare routine.
