Immortelle Divine Activating Essence 200 ml

What does the Immortelle Divine Activating Essence do in a skincare routine?
The Immortelle Divine Activating Essence hydrates skin and helps prepare it to absorb the steps that follow, such as a serum or moisturiser. It contains immortelle extracts along with magnesium and zinc, which help revitalise the complexion and even skin tone. Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin using fingertips or a cotton pad before your next skincare step.

Is the Immortelle Divine Activating Essence suitable for all skin types?
The Immortelle Divine Activating Essence is suitable for all skin types due to its lightweight, gel-like texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue. It hydrates without adding shine, which makes it comfortable for both dry and combination skin. Those with sensitive skin should avoid the eye area and sun exposure after application.

What is a facial essence and is it different to a toner?
A facial essence is a lightweight, hydrating step that sits between cleansing and serum, focusing on delivering active ingredients and moisture into the skin. Traditional toners often focused on removing residue or balancing pH, while essences are formulated with a higher concentration of skin-benefiting ingredients. Using an essence regularly can help the skin feel more receptive to the products applied after it.

Does the order of skincare products matter?
Yes, applying products from thinnest to thickest consistency gives each one the best chance to absorb properly. A cleanser goes first, followed by lighter water-based products like essences and serums, then heavier creams or oils to seal moisture in. Applying a rich cream before a lightweight essence creates a barrier that reduces how well the thinner product penetrates.
