DETAILS

Augustinus Bader's The Essence is a hybrid exfoliator, toner and a nutrient-rich balancing fluid all in one. Fortified with Professor Bader's patented TFC-8 complex to boost cellular renewal, promote optimal skin function and stimulate the skin's own ability to repair and regenerate, it also contains AHA's, PHA's, and BHA's to gently refine and resurface the complexion for a notably improved tone and texture. Complete with a host of active botanicals and antioxidants to balance, strengthen and deeply hydrate , the skin is left refined, brightened, quenched and plump and ready to receive actives in the products that follow.

A note from MG:

Infused with hydrators, antioxidants, gentle acids and soothing botanicals this essence is liquid gold. I love to prep, purify, balance and refine my skin whilst adding a feather light layer of hydration in one simple step. Apply with a cotton round or simply press in with your hands after cleansing and before your serum and creme for a healthy, radiant glow and enhanced product absorption

HOW TO USE

Apply after cleansing by either applying neat with your hands and simply pressing into the skin or dispense onto a cotton round and sweep over the face, neck and décolletage.
