This hydrating essence is set to elevate and optimise your skin care routine

Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this skin prep step
The product
We all know the basics when it comes to skin care: cleanser, moisturiser and SPF. Some of us even dabble in a serum or two if we’re really trying to up the ante.
But if you want to optimise your skin care routine, there’s one step you should really invest in, and that’s an essence.
Falling in between the textures of a toner and a serum, an essence acts as an all important prep step in your skin care routine. It primes the complexion, and aids in the absorption and the efficacy of your other skin care products in turn.
Jurlique Activating Water Essence+ utilises two marshmallow root extracts to promote hydration, retain moisture, and prep skin the for optimal ingredient penetration.
Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers had to say about this preparatory essence.
