GLOW

FROM WITHIN

ESSENCES
have been an elusive player in the skincare world, but what if we told you it could be
the key to getting your greatest glow yet? We’re demystifying this secret skincare
powerhouse by answering your top questions.

WHAT IS
AN ESSENCE?

An Essence (AKA: Treatment Lotion or
Watery Lotion) packs hydration
and active ingredients into a lightweight, watery
texture that penetrates skin’s surface
deeply to strengthen and hydrate skin
from within.

WHY SHOULD
I USE ONE?

If you struggle with dehydration, dullness or
are seeing signs of ageing, an essence could be
the product your skin is missing!

It will optimise your skin’s ability to absorb
serums and moisturisers to help skin maintain
moisture essential moisture.

HOW IS
AN ESSENCE
DIFFERENT
FROM
A TONER?

Toners and essences are often confused,
but there are clear differences. Check out
how essences can benefit your skin:

THEY’RE GENTLE!
• Whereas some toners can strip the skin of moisture, essences do the opposite.
• Toners are for removing impurities, essences are for adding hydrating ingredients.
• Toners are meant to balance the skin’s PH, which can sometimes lead to irritation.
• Essences envelop skin in a hug of hydration and balance the moisture barrier.

 

HOW DOES
IT FIT INTO
MY ROUTINE?

Whether you’re a beginner or a self-proclaimed
expert, this is an easy product to incorporate
into your daily routine. Apply your essence
after cleanser, before serum and moisturiser.

The best part?
It takes just seconds to apply and absorb!

WILL AN
ESSENCE WORK
FOR MY
SKIN TYPE?

Essences are appropriate for all skin
types! Check out how your skin type can
benefit from it:

IF YOU'RE
• DRY: It will instantly infuse dry, skin with fast-penetrating hydration.
• NORMAL/COMBINATION: An essence will help keep your skin feeling balanced​
and comfortable by locking in moisture.​
• OILY: Did you know? When oily skin is dehydrated, it overcompensates with more oil production! An essence will help keep skin hydrated and comfortable without feeling shiny or greasy.
• SENSITIVE: Essences can help strengthen your skin’s natural moisture barrier to help​combat harsh environments or pollution that can irritate the skin.
