pH Balancing Essence Lotion 145ml

A mildly acidic pH 5.5 essence lotion that restores skin balance

This mildly acidic essence lotion is a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkle improvement. Cullin (Polyporus umbellatus extract), sourced from shield mushrooms in the pristine forests of Finland, works to fortify the skin barrier, while panthenol forms a moisture-locking layer that keeps skin hydrated for longer. The smooth emulsion texture glides on effortlessly and sets to a fresh finish while delivering lasting moisture.

Immediate balancing effect confirmed after a single use

In a human application test, just one use improved skin pH from 5.68 to 5.25, increased moisture content by 48.01%, and boosted oil levels by 183.62%. Throughout the test period, there were 0% adverse skin reactions, and a low-irritation test on 30 participants recorded a skin reactivity score of 0.00, making it safe for even sensitive skin.

For skin that needs both barrier reinforcement and tone care

Here's a breakdown of the key ingredients and their expected benefits.

• Niacinamide: A brightening functional ingredient that helps improve skin tone
• Adenosine: A wrinkle-improving functional ingredient that supports skin elasticity
• Panthenol: Converts to vitamin B5 to support hydration and soothing
• Centella Asiatica Extract, Green Tea Extract: Help calm and provide antioxidant benefits

All ingredients are rated EWG Green, and the formula is free from alcohol, synthetic colorants, and synthetic fragrances. Recommended for those who feel their skin isn't what it used to be, or who are dealing with both dryness and dullness at the same time. The hinoki cypress scent adds a sense of healing, as if you're unwinding at a spa.

Use after toner, before moisturizer

This essence lotion is designed to be applied right after toner, once your skin texture has been prepped. Layering it over freshly toned skin delivers both hydration and nourishment, while helping your moisturizer absorb more effectively. If you're using a serum or ampoule, apply those before the essence lotion.

Suitable for morning and evening routines

As a dual-function product targeting brightening and wrinkle improvement, it fits seamlessly into both your AM and PM routines. In the morning, it creates a lightweight moisture veil that works beautifully under makeup. In the evening, it replenishes skin that's been stressed throughout the day.

Apply gently using about a nickel-sized amount

Dispense an appropriate amount into your palm, dot it onto both cheeks, forehead, and chin, then smooth outward from the center of your face. The emulsion texture absorbs quickly and finishes fresh, never sticky. For drier areas, feel free to layer a second application without any heaviness.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• Dry skin lacking firmness: Pair with the pH Balancing Toner and Rich Cream from the same line to amplify skin barrier support
• Dull, uneven skin tone: The niacinamide content helps promote a more even complexion with consistent use
• Sensitive skin prone to irritation: Panthenol and centella asiatica extract offer soothing benefits, making this a great choice during seasonal transitions

Storage and usage notes

The natural apricot hue comes from cacao seed extract and may shift slightly over time. This doesn't affect product quality, so you can continue using it with confidence. Store in a cool place away from high temperatures and direct sunlight. If redness, itching, or irritation occurs during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
