🌸 What is an Essence?

Essence is a lightweight, watery skincare product that originated in K-beauty routines. It is often described as the “heart” of skincare because it delivers hydration, nourishment, and active ingredients deep into the skin. Positioned between toner and serum, essence enhances the effectiveness of all the steps that follow.

✨ Key Benefits of Using an Essence

• Deep Hydration: Provides long-lasting moisture, especially for dehydrated skin.
• Skin Renewal: Often formulated with fermented ingredients and mild actives that promote cell turnover.
• Improved Absorption: Prepares the skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers.
• Brightening & Firming: Adds radiance and plumps the skin with consistent use.

🔍 How to Choose the Right Essence

Different essences are designed for different skin concerns:

• Hydrating Essence: Contains hyaluronic acid, panthenol, or bamboo water.
• Brightening Essence: Enriched with niacinamide, vitamin C, or rice extract.
• Anti-aging Essence: Uses fermented yeast, peptides, or ginseng extract for firming benefits.
• Soothing Essence: Features centella asiatica, aloe vera, or green tea for sensitive skin.
