You may never want to skip your essence ever again.

With a water-based texture that makes it very similar to toner, an essence, more often than not has a concentrated formula with active ingredients that addresses targetted skin concerns. 
So when you incorporate an essence to your regime, you&rsquo;re not only hydrating your skin, but you&rsquo;re also blessing it with an extra layer of smoothing, renewing or brightening goodness to prime it for the treatments that follow. 
And oh, did you know that our skin drinks up the products better when it&rsquo;s damp?&nbsp;

OMOROVICZA QUEEN ESSENCE
Like its elder siblings in the Queen Collection, the new Omorovicza Queen Essence harnesses the healing power of Budapest&rsquo;s thermal water to <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/beauty/we-tried-the-n-1-de-chanel-by-chanel-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indulge your skin and senses</a>. 
Star ingredients in its silky formula include deep-hydrating snow mushroom, anti-pollution tomato stem cells, plumping hyaluronic acid, and of course, the skin-repairing, collagen boosting Omorovicza&rsquo;s patented Healing Concentrate&trade;.

I&rsquo;M FROM MUGWORT ESSENCE
As someone who has sensitive skin that&rsquo;s somehow also prone to acne, I&rsquo;ve been obsessed with this single-ingredient essence. 
Made with Ganghwa Island&rsquo;s mugwort, a herbal ingredient that has long been loved in Korean skincare for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing properties, I&rsquo;m From&rsquo;s Mugwort Essence puts a stop to redness, hydrates and calm the skin without weighing it down. It literally feels just like water.&nbsp;

OLE HENRIKSEN BARRIER BOOSTER ORANGE FERMENT VITAMIN C ESSENCE&nbsp;
You can really think of this as an energising and immune-boosting orange juice in the morning for your skin. <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/beauty/review-3-vitamin-c-skincare-to-try-now-healthy-glow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vitamin C</a> is teamed up with niacinamide, hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid in this formula to drench skin in moisture, brighten complexion and strengthen skin barrier.

DECORT&Eacute; HYDRA CLARITY TREATMENT ESSENCE WATER&nbsp;
If glass skin is your goal, Decort&eacute;&rsquo;s newest Hydra Clarity Treatment Essence Water is the answer to that and more. 
Its Bihada-to complex is made up of Isomerized Sugar, Clove Extract, and Mugwort Extract will ensure skin&rsquo;s ideal moisture level and encourage the circulation of the clarity cycle. A healthy dose of Glycyrrhizic acid is infused for its anti-inflammatory benefits that keeps breakout at bay.

TATCHA THE ESSENCE
It&rsquo;s not called THE Essence for no reason and it&rsquo;s now reintroduced with 100% Hadasei-3&trade; - Tatcha&rsquo;s proprietary fermented complex of Akita rice, Okinawa algae, and Uji green tea. 
Not only does the fermentation process enhance the delivery of the nutrients into the skin, but it also develops amino acids and AHAs like lactic acid, which are super helpful for hydrating skin and supporting cell turnover to reveal softer, smoother skin.
