Antioxidant Essence NAC Y²™ 100ml FAQS

WHAT IS AN ESSENCE?

A water-based skincare product containing a high content of active ingredients to hydrate, protect and prime the skin. Our essence enriches the skin with a blend of soothing botanical extracts.

CAN THIS BE USED LIKE A TONER?

It depends. If you use a toner to prime your skin then yes, if you use toner to wipe away impurities post cleanse then no, since this is not to be used with a cotton pad and does not remove impurities.

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY THIS DURING MY ROUTINE?

Apply to freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin to promote hydration. Allow to absorb before applying additional skincare products.

SHOULD THIS BE APPLIED TO DRY OR WET SKIN?

Apply to freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin to promote hydration. Allow to absorb before applying additional skincare products.

CAN I USE THIS PRIOR TO RETINOL OIL?

Absolutely! Using the Essence before using the Retinol Oil will prep the skin, allowing for better absorption of the Retinol Oil.
Top tip: Also apply your eye cream before the Retinol Oil to protect the delicate skin around the eye area.
