AQUA, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, CARICA PAPAYA FRUIT EXTRACT, BACILLUS FERMENT, VACCINIUM VITIS-IDAEA FRUIT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, LACTIC ACID, THYMUS VULGARIS OIL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The essential first step after cleansing. This lightweight essence doesn’t just hydrate—it optimizes your skin, ensuring that serums and creams applied afterward absorb more effectively and deliver maximum results. It gently renews, balances, and protects, leaving your skin receptive and glowing.

• 1% Enzyme Active – Our revolutionary enzyme complex softens and dissolves the keratinocytes in the outer layer of your skin. By comparison, AHA's harden these keratinocytes instead of softening them, which can make your skin feel more dry and rough. 

• Medium molecular weight Hyaluronic acid – Penetrates deeper into the skin to attract and bind moisture, leaving skin soft, supple, and hydrated from within.

• 1% Cranberry extract – Rich in antioxidants and natural fruit acids, it protects against oxidative stress while giving skin a fresh, healthy glow.
