FAQ
What's the difference between the Premium Lotion and the Premium Essence?
Both have 7 types of hyaluronic acid, but the essence is thicker and more concentrated. Think of the lotion as a hydrating toner (watery, absorbed quickly) and the essence as a gel serum (viscous, takes longer to sink in). The essence is designed to layer between the lotion and cream steps if you want maximum hydration beyond what the lotion alone provides.
Do I need both the lotion and the essence?
No. Most people use just the lotion and find it hydrating enough. The essence is for people with very dry or dehydrated skin who want an extra hydration layer, or for those who prefer a thicker texture. If your skin feels good with just the lotion, there's no need to add the essence.
Is the texture too thick or sticky?
It's viscous like a gel, more so than the lotion, but it does absorb fully without leaving a sticky film. The latest formulation includes fermented hyaluronic acid which helps it penetrate better despite the thick texture. Pat it in gently rather than rubbing, and give it a minute to sink in before layering other products.
