Toner vs. Essence vs. Serum
Essences and toners may seem similar, but they play distinct roles in achieving radiant skin. They also target different concerns and have varying consistencies: Discover the key differences and unlock the true potential of your skincare routine!
Toners: Cleanse and balance your skin’s pH, prepping it for the next steps. It typically has a watery consistency and helps remove any last traces of makeup, dirt, or oil.
These are products that can be used as toners: Skin Activating Treatment Essence, Calendula Herbal Extract Essence and Vitamin B3 Serum.
Essences: The HD essences vary in consistencies from watery hydrators to prep the skin for the next step to a gel-like formula and also to a lightweight cream. They penetrate deeper than toners and are formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to plump the skin and botanical extracts to soothe and nourish. They deliver a surge of hydration, priming your skin for optimal absorption of serums and moisturisers.
Serums: Serums are the most powerful of these three products. Packed with concentrated active ingredients, they target specific concerns like wrinkles, acne, or dehydration. It is usually recommended to follow with your moisturiser and during the day your antioxidant sunscreen .
Imagine your skincare routine as a delicious meal:
Cleanser/Toner: The appetiser, awakening your skin.
Essence: A light soup or salad, providing essential hydration.
Serum: The main course, delivering a potent dose of nutrients to address your unique needs.
Moisturiser : Dessert: applying a protective sealant to locks in hydration and keeps your skin plump and supple.
Sunscreen : Cheese Platter: ultimate shield, protecting and defending your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays.
