Skincare’s best kept secret is for everyone. Discover the benefits of
a skin essence and which one is best for your routine.
 

When your skin needs a boost, look no further than skincare’s secret weapon: an essence. Not sure where to start? We’re breaking down the benefits of these lightweight, targeted formulas to help you find which one is right for you.

What is an essence in skincare?

These power players (also known as treatment lotions or watery lotions) penetrate the skin, helping subsequent products to absorb better.  They can provide benefits like hydrating, brightening dull-looking skin, strengthening skin barrier, reducing and calming the appearance of irritation and skin sensitivity and more.

How to use an essence:

Essences are applied AM and PM after cleansing and before applying serum and moisturizer. Allow your chosen formula to fully absorb into the skin before moving onto other steps in your routine.
