Essences are a cornerstone of the Korean skincare routine, acting as a lightweight, concentrated treatment that delivers active ingredients deep into the skin. Positioned between toner and serum, they provide an extra layer of hydration and target specific concerns like brightening, anti-aging, or soothing. Essences are formulated for all skin types, enhancing overall skin health and preparing it for more intensive treatments.
