Essence
An essence is a light, watery skincare step that gives your skin hydration and nutrients right after cleansing and toning, so serums and creams absorb better afterwards. In this collection you'll find every essence at Boozyshop: from fermented galactomyces formulas to snail mucin, niacinamide, peptides and milky essences. Looking for Korean formulas specifically?

Essence: the light booster between toner and serum
Essence, toner or serum: what's the difference?
A toner preps the skin after cleansing and rebalances its pH. An essence is slightly richer and gives a first layer of hydration and actives. A serum then targets one specific skin concern, and an ampoule does that at an even higher concentration.
Which essence suits your skin?
- Dry or dehydrated skin: hyaluronic acid, panthenol or beta-glucan – see also hydrating serums
- Dull skin and an even tone: galactomyces, niacinamide or rice extract
- Sensitive skin and redness: centella or mugwort
- Firmness and glow: snail mucin, peptides or PDRN
How to use an essence
Apply your essence after cleansing and toner. Put a few drops in your palm and gently pat them into your face and neck. Let it absorb, then follow with your serum and moisturizer, morning and night.
