Essential first layer every day!

Even if I only have time for the bare minimum of face care, this has to be part of it as the first thing to go on after cleansing. It's also wonderful for a 'top-up' at the end of the afternoon if feeling dried out (frequently in the winter.) Find a clean small plastic bottle, put some in there and take in your flight toiletries carry-on...instant hydration during travel.

Great Product

I use this hydrating essence every morning and evening after cleansing. It’s quickly absorbed and leaves skin feeling calm and nourished. I wouldn’t be without it!

Sinks in beautifully

I'm a simple soul when it comes to skin care, so I was a little hesitant to add another product beyond the "cleanse & moisturise" that I currently do. But this product is a dream to apply, it's as viscous as water and sinks into your skin in moments. I'm a convert!
