Treatment essence carries many benefits for the skin and is especially helpful in combating signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines. While it’s less concentrated than a serum, it adds a layer of moisture and preps your skin to absorb the active ingredients of your serum and moisturiser.
Most people tend to think that essences and toners are the same thing, but they’re not. There is a huge difference between toners and essences. Toners are
used in between facial cleansers and treatment essences. A toner works to balance the pH level of your skin, remove traces of make-up and leftover impurities from cleansing, minimise open pores and refresh the skin. It is usually applied with a
cotton pad.
An essence is often used after toning the skin. It is a lightweight booster that enhances the effects of the products after it, such as the serum and moisturiser. Packed with vitamins and great for accelerating
cell-turnover, essences are also perfect for preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
Clarins’ plant-based treatment essences are specially formulated to reduce the effects of
ageing, regardless of your age or skin type. In fact, our treatment essences are suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

For the best results, use your treatment essence in the morning and evening. Place a few drops of it into your
palm after cleansing and toning. Gently apply the treatment essence onto your face and neck, allowing the liquid to absorb into your skin. A small amount is sufficient as our treatment essences are concentrated in nutrients and active
ingredients.
After applying the treatment essence, ensure that the formula has fully absorbed into the skin before using your serum or moisturiser.
