An essence that starts right after cleansing, as your first step
This is an essence designed to be used as the very first step in your skincare routine. Apply it immediately after cleansing in place of toner, and the kale leaf extract and basil leaf water absorb quickly into skin, helping to boost the efficacy of the products that follow. If you prefer to use a separate toner, you can also apply this essence after toning.
Safe for daily use, morning and night
Formulated with a mildly acidic pH (4.0–6.0), it's gentle enough to use twice a day without irritation. In the morning, it replenishes moisture lost overnight. In the evening, it calms skin after a long day and preps it for the rest of your routine.
Flexible application based on your skin's needs
Dispense an appropriate amount into your palms, then gently press and smooth it along the skin's natural texture until absorbed. Adjust your application method depending on how your skin feels for better results.
- When skin texture needs refining: Saturate a cotton pad and gently sweep it along the skin's texture to smooth and prep
- On extra dry days: Layer 2–3 times to flood skin with hydration
- For deep moisture replenishment: Soak cotton pads generously and leave on as a 3-minute hydrating mask
Recommended routine pairings by skin type
If you have dehydrated skin, follow this essence with a hydrating gel cream to lock in moisture for longer-lasting dewiness. For combination skin, apply lightly on the T-zone and add an extra layer on the cheeks and jawline to balance hydration where it's needed most. On sensitive days, decant some into a mist bottle and spritz throughout the day to help calm and soothe.
Storage and usage precautions
Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children. If redness, swelling, itching, or other irritation occurs during use, discontinue immediately and consult a dermatologist. Avoid applying to areas with open wounds.
