After toner, the key hydration step
Essence is applied right after toner, once your skin texture is prepped. This formula contains ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and 5% squalane to deliver deep hydration into the skin. Follow with a cream to lock in moisture and prevent it from evaporating.
Suitable for morning and evening use
Clinically shown to maintain hydration for 18 hours, it keeps skin comfortable all day when applied in the morning, and throughout the night when used before bed. In your morning routine, use it before sunscreen. In your evening routine, layer it before your cream or sleeping mask.
Lightweight absorption with bubble texture
Dispense an appropriate amount onto your palm and dot it onto both cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. The bubble texture absorbs quickly when gently patted into skin. Formulated with a 9:1 ratio of essence to oil, it finishes without stickiness — but feel free to reapply on areas prone to inner dryness.
Routine pairings by skin concern
- Skin with inner dryness: After thoroughly saturating skin with a hydrating toner, layer this essence and seal with a ceramide cream.
- Skin with disrupted oil-moisture balance: Use this essence alone after a lightweight hydrating toner, or pair it with a barrier cream from the same line to help restore balance.
- Sensitized skin: Squalane's structure closely mimics skin lipids, making it gentle and non-irritating. This product has completed low-irritation testing.
Storage and usage tips
Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Due to the nature of squalane, the formula may change if exposed to high temperatures. If redness or stinging occurs during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
