When should I apply it in my skincare routine?

Apply it to clean skin as the first skincare step, morning and evening.

What does the texture and finish feel like?

It has a moist, serum-like texture that feels fresh, absorbs quickly and leaves a non-sticky finish.

Can I use it as a short cotton-pad pack on dry areas?

Yes. Saturate a cotton pad, place it on a dry area such as your cheek for about 10 minutes, then remove the pad.

Can I layer more than one application?

Yes. Apply two or three layers when you want additional hydration and glow.

What does the brand say about use on sensitive skin?

Sioris says it was designed with sensitive skin in mind and completed a low-irritation test. Stop using it and consult a specialist if irritation occurs.

Does it contain synthetic fragrance, and what does it smell like?

The formula contains no synthetic fragrance. Damask rose water gives it a faint rose scent.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Meet the first step that does a little more. This toner-essence hybrid can take the place of your toner or work as a serum-like essence, giving you room to shape your routine around what your skin needs.

Its moist, serum-like texture absorbs quickly and finishes non-sticky. When your skin wants more, the formula also offers layerable hydration and glow without turning the experience into a complicated ritual.

Three forms of hyaluronic acid bring a familiar hydration story, while Ceramide NP adds barrier-lipid support. With continued use over four weeks, the Essener supported a more hydrated, elastic-looking, smoother and clearer appearance.

It is listed for normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin, and was designed with sensitive skin in mind. The formula contains no synthetic fragrance, though damask rose water gives it a faint rose scent, like a quiet floral note at the start of your routine.
