This has become a travel essential for me. It's hard to find a comparable product that does so much. Leaving my skin feeling fresh and hydrated without the feeling of tightness and striping that other similar products have.

I have dry skin that can have flaky patches around my chin and nose if I’m not diligent in my routine. The Essence exfoliates and hydrates without causing any irritation or redness. I’m a full Bader routine girl and this is a fundamental step.

The Essence is thirst quenching to my skin after cleansing. I have been in a hurry once in awhile, skipping the Essence, then using the retinol, and then the Rich Moisturizer. I was noticeably drier with some fine lines showing. The Essence moisture gives my skin an extra drink of moisture with the TFC8, and it is noticeable.

Noticeably smoother texture after at least a x4 per week use every morning. Very gentle never irritating yet very effective without causing any burning or obvious peeling. Just avoid using this on same application as the he retinol serum or any retinoic product.

I think it’s a very good product. On lazy Sunday mornings I just use this before I apply my serum and moisturizer. It’s all I need.

Prepare to hear that comment about your skin when you use this skincare. I use cleansing balm or cream cleansing gel, the essence, and rich cream. I receive compliments on my skin anytime I go out. The Essence and other products combine to calm, add glow, and change your skin.

I use the Essence immediately after cleansing. It is lightweight, absorbs instantly, hydrates, brightens my skin before I apply the Rich Cream (in colder months) or the Cream (warmer months)

I love the feel of this essence. It is "stable" enough that I don't need to waste a cotton ball to use it, it soaks nicely into my skin, and I do think it serves as a perfect product prior to using the rich cream. It's now a staple in my routine.
