Quick answers

Your essence questions, answered

What is an essence?

An essence is a skincare formula used as a leave-on layer. Textures and ingredients differ between products, so compare the individual formula and directions to find the role it will play in your routine.

Do I need an essence and a serum?

You do not need both just to complete the step numbers. Start with what you want from your routine, and check how the formulas are intended to be used together.

Does essence always go after toner?

Many essences are used after toner, while a first essence can be used immediately after cleansing. Follow the order given for your chosen formula rather than relying on the name alone.

How do I use an essence powder?

Use only the mixing or application method specified for that powder. Check the amount and what it can be combined with before adding it to another formula.
