What is an essence?
Essence is the heart of the Asian skincare routine.
Essences are watery treatments that have higher doses of active ingredients. It's got your Amino Acids, glycerin, and other natural extracts for an immediately hydrated and comforted feel. They effortlessly absorb into your skin enhancing absorption and maximising the effectiveness of the products you apply afterwards.
Why are essences an important part of your skincare routine?
Unlike toners, which aim to balance the skins pH levels and prepare it for absorption after cleansing essences contain ingredients that specifically target concerns, like dullness, fine lines or pigmentation—similar to serums. However the main advantage of using an essence is its ability to provide hydration and ensure absorption.
