Korean essences are lightweight formulas used after toner and before serum or moisturiser. They add another layer of hydration while delivering ingredients chosen to support concerns such as dryness, dullness, uneven texture or a weakened skin barrier.

Choose a watery essence for light hydration or a richer fermented, snail mucin or treatment essence for more targeted care. Gently pat it into the skin with clean hands, applying an additional layer when your skin feels particularly dry or dehydrated.
