moisturizing lotion

Do we really need an essence or a moisturizing lotion?

From my point of view, moisturizing lotions are optional, but I think they can be interesting if they bring one or more ingredients absent from your current skincare routine. In this case, it will bring real added value to your skin. Otherwise, it's a waste of time and money.

For example, if you're already using a moisturizing serum with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, there's no need to add an essence containing the same ingredients. Similarly, if your cleanser and lotion both contain salicylic acid, there's little point in doubling these ingredients.

It should also be noted that adding an extra step to your skincare routine can increase the risk of irritationalthough the species are generally well tolerated.

To maximize the effectiveness of your moisturizing essence, apply it to damp skin. This will enable it to capture a maximum amount of water and better penetrate the skin.

Skin care is constantly evolving, with new innovations that promise to revolutionize our beauty routines.

What is a Face Essence?

Facial Essence is a liquid treatment designed to be applied immediately after cleansing. Its concentrated, aqueous formula quickly penetrates the skin, preparing it for further treatments while providing a first layer of hydration. They are distinguished by their ability not only to replenish the skin barrier's essential moisture, but also to target specific skin problems such as dryness, fine lines and complexion radiance, then maximize the absorption of subsequently applied skincare products.

Features and benefits


Skin essences have several key functions in a skincare routine. Here are the main ones:

  • Hydration Essences help to deeply hydrate the skin, using ingredients like hyaluronic acid to attract and retain water in the upper layers of the epidermis.
  • Improved texture and complexion Some essences contain gentle exfoliating ingredients, such as AHA or BHA acids, which help improve skin texture and even out skin tone by removing dead skin cells.
  • Anti-aging By providing ingredients that stimulate collagen production, such as retinol or vitamin C, essences can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Soothing Ingredients such as centella asiatica, du or chamomile in essences can have soothing properties, ideal for calming irritated or sensitive skin.
