Facial essences are a key player in k-beauty routines. Not to be confused with a toner; facial essences provide additional nourishment to the skin. Their formulas are sourced using highly hydrating, soothing and brightening ingredients at a low molecular weight, for maximum absorption. They are used after the toner and before the serum.
Essences are the fourth product we use during Korean skin care routines. They hydrate and re-balance the skin whilst also using highly concentrated levels of active ingredients, enabling a deeper penetration into our skin barrier.
This step is considered by many Korean women as the most important step in any skin care regime. Essences prep skin to better absorb serums and moisturisers. The watery texture is perfect for reaching the deepest skin layers. Korean facial essences are definitely a must if you want to get the most out of your skincare routine.
Amongst many other things, they also strengthen the skin barrier and are highly effective, thanks to their rich formulas. Just like other Korean cosmetics, they target different skin needs and offer different solutions for all skin types. Korean essences are perfect for layering.
If you have dry skin and you want to boost skin hydration levels, I recommend using any facial essence with Hyaluronic Acid, such as Haruharu WONDER Black Rice Hyaluronic Essence and Cremorlab Mineral Water Treatment Essence. To regenerate and soother damaged skin, use a facial essence with snail mucin, such as Benton Snail Bee High Fermentation Essence. The N1 selling Korean facial essence worldwide, Missha Time Revolution The First Essence 5X is suitable for all skin types; including sensitive skin. But if hypersensitivity is the main issue you want target, then try Barr Centella Calming Gel Essence. For uneven skin tone, melasma, acne scars or sun spots try an essence witth Niacinimide, Vit C or Yuja like NACIFIC Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence and Abib Yuja Essence Vitalizing Pump.
Now that you know the benefits of using a facial essence as part of your beauty routine, why don't you try one? At Korean Beauty Shop we stock a curated range, including over 20 different skin essences, suitable for all skin types.
