Jurlique Activating Water Essence

Published: 2016-09-26 by Marina Milojević in Skin Care

Jurlique’s latest offering is the Activating Water Essence, a product strongly influenced by Korean skin care routines. In case you haven’t heard about the essence yet, or you don’t really know what it is, it’s the core product of k-beauty skin care regimen, meant to deliver a potent dose of active ingredients deep into the skin. The result is a well hydrated, refreshed, comforted, and balanced skin. It is important to note that essences are not the same thing as toners or lotions. They are a separate skin care category designed to restore skin’s optimum Ph balance, and help skin stay healthy and plump longer.

Jurlique’s new Activating Water Essence is thus announced as a new step in your skin care routine. Designed to complement every skin care ritual, and flatter every skin type, the Activating Water Essence hydrates the skin and boosts the performance of any subsequent skin care products – such as serums and moisturizers. The Essence is based on biodynamic Marshmallow Root extract, which promises deep and continuous hydration combined with improving skin’s ability to capture and retain moisture.

Marshmallow Root extract, rich in thick, syrup-like liquid called mucilage, possesses powerful hydrating, softening and balancing properties. The healing powers of Marshmallow Root have been known for centuries, and it remains one of the greatest natural remedies for pain and swelling of the mucous membranes. Marshmallow root is applied to the skin to revitalize chapped skin, and as a compress for pockets of infection, skin ulcers, burns, and other wounds. The healing, regenerative powers of this medicinal herb are now captured in a Jurlique’s new product to continuously hydrate, soften and revitalize your skin.

Activating Water Essence should be used on cleansed skin, after your preferred toner, and before serum. The water activates the skin in three ways, as it hydrates, conditions, and revitalizes. It also prepares the skin to absorb the full benefits of the rest of your skin care regimen. As any other Korean essence, Jurlique’s new Activating Water Essence requires a special application ritual. Instead of dabbing some on a cotton pad, or massaging it into the skin, the Essence requires a special pressing technique. Simply, Pour a few drops of Activating Water Essence into the palm of your hand, warm and gently press over your face, neck, and décolleté. Use morning and night as part of your daily skin care ritual.

Jurlique Activating Water Essence is delivered in a smoked glass bottle of 150ml. It features a light, herbal botanical scent with notes of lavender, geranium, and Australian sandalwood. The product retails at $55.00, and is available for purchase at Sephora.
