"Is “essence” short for “essential”? benefit say yes. This skin-balancing, nourishing essence boosts hydration for 12 hours thanks to a water-based formula plus encapsulation technology (a fancy way of saying it has oil-based nutrients preserved in microbubbles that burst once applied). The gel-like texture feels luxuriously lightweight and glides on smoothly, helping skin feel bouncy, soft & plump, and prepping pores for the rest of your skincare and makeup routines. With all these benefits for pores and skin, essence is definitely short for essential.
