KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Hyaluronic Acid : powerful humectant that attracts and retains large amounts of moisture in the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated.

-
Incorporate these steps into your routine morning and night.

Understanding the Difference between Toner, Essence, and Serum
Essences and toners are both lightweight skincare steps, but with key differences:
- Toners: Traditionally cleanse and balance skin’s pH after cleansing. Some may offer additional hydration or mild exfoliation.
- Essences: Focus on intense hydration and prepping skin for better absorption of serums and moisturisers. They can sometimes have a slightly thicker, lotion-like consistency and may contain some active ingredients for specific concerns.
- Serums: Their consistency is generally thicker and more concentrated than essences or toners. Some serums may have a gel or cream-like texture and contain the highest concentration of active ingredients to target specific skincare concerns like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, or hydration. They are typically applied after toners or essences and before moisturiser and SPF sunscreen.
-
Here’s an analogy to visualise the differences:
- Imagine your skincare routine as a meal.
- Toner would be like an appetiser, prepping your skin for what’s to come.
- Essence would be like a light soup or salad, providing some hydration and priming your skin for better absorption.
- Serum would be the main course, delivering a concentrated dose of nutrients to address specific concerns.
