When and how should I apply it in my routine?

Use it morning and night after cleansing. Shake well, apply it to your face and neck, pat it into your skin, then continue with ampoules, serums and later routine steps.

Can I adjust the number of layers for oily or dry skin?

Yes. You can layer it according to your skin's needs. Oily skin may use it as a light moisturizer, while dry skin may apply 2 or 3 layers.

Can I use it with foundation?

Does it contain added artificial fragrance?

No. The essence is identified as unscented and free from artificial fragrance.

Which skin types is it recommended for?

It is recommended for all skin types, including skin concerned with dehydration, uneven texture or a compromised-feeling barrier.

How does this essence differ in feel from the Black Rice Hyaluronic Acid Toner?

PRODUCT DETAILS

Hello, barrier care. This rich, milky essence gives dehydrated-feeling skin hydration and soothing care while supporting its natural barrier. A barrier-care blend of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids is used in a 3:1:1 ratio for focused moisture-barrier support.

Fermented black rice and upcycled black rice lees meet Galactomyces and Bifida ferment filtrates. The formula helps skin look brighter and more even, while gentle exfoliating care removes dead skin cells to smooth the appearance of uneven texture.

Despite its richness, the texture feels creamy yet lightweight, without a heavy or sticky finish. It leaves a silky-soft feel and offers a more cushiony, enveloping experience than the brand's lightweight water-gel Black Rice Hyaluronic Acid Toner.

Recommended for all skin types, the essence is unscented, free from artificial fragrance and identified as non-comedogenic certified. Choose the 120 ml size for your daily shelf or the smaller 30 ml option.
