BALANCE IS THE KEY / face essence 100ml

What is a facial essence?

It’s a facial mist with a high percentage of active ingredients, formulated to target specific needs of your skin. It’s a great product for restoring hydration, balancing the skin or strengthening the skin barrier. Our essences have anti-ageing and anti-acne properties. They are similar to serums, but more lightweight.

How to include an essence in your daily skincare routine?

For most people, a face essence should be the first product on clean skin. You can then follow it with serums, creams or whatever your routine consists of.

Combining water-based serums with essences

In a way, essences are similar to water-based serums. They both contain active ingredients and hydrate your skin. However, our essences are formulated for specific skincare needs and with active ingredients not present in our serums. You can definitely combine our essences with serums!

The question is: do you need to? Depends on your skin goals. If your goal is just hydration, you definitely do not need to use both. But if you’re looking to improve a specific problem with your skin, a combination might work wonders for you. As always, it’s worth discovering what works best for your skin – so you can have the best skin possible!

If you combine an essence with one of our hydrating serums (Hey, Gorgeous! or Face It, You Love Me), apply the essence first, then the serum.

Ingredients

Azeloglicina (Potassium azeloyl diglycinate)

We know, it sounds scary. But in reality, azeloglicina is a rising star in active ingredients! If you haven’t heard of it yet, you will soon!

It’s a derivate of the famous azelaic acid and a part of the new generation of active ingredients. Azeloglicina has brightening properties, helps reduce pigment spots and redness. It also helps balance sebum production, making this baby especially suited for oily or problematic skin.

Succinic acid

Another cutting edge ingredient! Succinic acid is 100% natural and an Ecocert certified ingredient derived from non-GMO. It controls and balance excess sebum production and has great anti-acne or anti-spots properties.

Gluconolactone

This polyhydroxy acid (some will say it belongs to the new generation of AHA acids, but it’s actually a PHA acid. Don’t worry about it, though) is a gentle exfoliator and moisturizer. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and it’s not photosensitive (see, that’s already different from AHA acids!).

Zinc PCA

Zinc PCA is the zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (sounds fun, right?). It helps control acne and decrease sebum, which reduces oiliness, redness and skin irritations. It also helpy your skin maintain it’s hydration levels (moisture).

Aloe barbadensis leaf juice

We all know aloe vera, right? It’s great for skin, too! It has calming and hydrating properties and is suitable for all skin types.
