About Korean Face Essences
Face essences are the heart of Korean skincare routines, providing lightweight hydration while delivering active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and botanical extracts deep into the skin. They help improve absorption of serums and creams and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.

- All skin types, including sensitive and dry skin
- Dehydrated or dull skin needing extra hydration
- Anyone looking to boost the effectiveness of serums and moisturizers

How to use (simple routine)
- Cleanse your face thoroughly.
- Apply toner if desired to prep the skin.
- Pour a few drops of essence into palms and gently pat onto face and neck.
