What is a Skincare Essence?
A skincare essence is a lightweight, hydrating formulation that can be easily layered with toners or serums to deliver additional skincare benefits. Some essences are packed with ingredients like humectants to nourish and condition the skin helping to improve hydration and texture; some can even prepare the skin for better absorption of subsequent products.
Essences are common in Korean and broader Asian skincare routines; praised for their role in achieving the highly-sought-after K-beauty glass skin. Essences are gaining traction in Western skincare as people search for ways to enhance their regimen and achieve a radiant glow.
Benefits of a Skincare Essence
Our Multi-Active Delivery Essence is designed to offer multiple benefits. It’s uniquely formulated with four active technologies, effectively hydrating to condition the skin and prime it for enhanced delivery of skincare ingredients. As an added benefit, deep hydration helps to strengthen the skin barrier.
How to Prep Your Skin With an Essence
After cleansing, dehydration can make skin feel tight or dry; this can hinder the absorption of serums and moisturizers. An essence acts as a hydrating primer, preparing skin for the rest of your skincare regimen.
Post-cleansing, pat a few drops of Multi-Active Delivery Essence onto the skin using your hands or a cotton pad. Follow with serums and moisturizer. This prep step helps boost hydration, ensuring skin is primed for delivery of skincare ingredients.
