ESSE™ CORE MOISTURISERS Your moisturiser is your most important beauty product. Not only does it take care of hydration, it can also balance your lipid levels and help to build probiotic populations.The BIOME+ technology in Esse Core moisturisers incorporates prebiotics to selectively feed good microbes and probiotic extracts to favourably shift the microbial balance on your skin. A healthy microbiome means a radiant skin that is resilient to external aggressors.

If you have sensitive skin, you'll know how hard it is to just maintain a stable state, let alone address concerns such as ageing or oiliness with specialised products. This toner is formulated to calm sensitive skins and address overactive immune responses that result in inflammation. It's a delicate spritz with probiotic extracts and prebiotic nutrients to support a state of equilibrium in sensitive skin. > sensitive skin types > newcomers to Esse > acne skins > compromised skins

This leave-on spritz Toner Plus is a powerhouse of probiotics and prebiotics to improve barrier function and hydrate. It includes Esse's BIOME+ LEVEL 3 probiotics which means this product contains tyndalized (whole but not alive) lactobacillus bacteria that are capable of docking onto skin cells and influencing stronger defences against pathogens and the strengthening of barrier function.

Esse toners are slightly different, they do more for your skin than complete the cleansing process. Esse's core toner is a hydrating. anti-oxidant mist with Rooibos and Olive Leaf Extract to revitalise and protect skin from pro-ageing environmental aggressors. > all skins > dehydrated skin > skin exposed to pollution

DOUBLE CLEANSING. It's a cleanse that's recommended at night and involves a first, oil or cream based cleanser to assist in breaking down make-up and excess sebum on the skin's surface. This is followed by a second, waterbased or foaming cleanse that goes deeper, drawing our impurities and leaving your skin well prepared for it's night time routine. No matter how complex or simple this routine is, you will draw enhanced benefits from it if your skin is well cleansed.

Seed and Feed

Most people associate probiotics (good microbes) with maintaining a healthy gut. Leading scientists have now discovered that optimal skin condition also depends heavily on the probiotic microbes living on and in it. Your microbes permeate deep into your skin structure and work with your own cells to perform the complex chemistry that keeps your skin radiant. Without microbes, your skin can’t perform its basic functions and the rate of skin ageing increases sharply.

A - ANTI-AGEING All Esse products are formulated to defy the effects of time and reverse the signs of ageing.

B - BIOME TECHNOLOGY Our unique Biome technology uses a combination of Pre and Probiotic supplementation, as well as formulation advances to ensure their effectiveness, to swing the balance of good microbes on the skin and improve it’s overall function.

C - CLEANSERS Kick start the new year with a good cleanser. Cleansing skin properly is one of the most important steps to healthy skin. Esse offers a wide range of cleansers to suit all skin types and preferences. See more on our website: www.esseskincare.com

D - DETOX Detox your skincare and entire personal care regime by going organic. Make the change to organic body washes, hair care, skincare and anything your skin comes into contact with. Good alternatives are now readily available, so relieve the toxic load on your body by using safe alternatives. Most women use up to 20 products per day. Detox by making sure these are all organic (or at least genuinely natural).

E - ESSE Esse means “to be” in Latin. The brand was founded in 2004 in South Africa. It is now one of the leading professional probiotic skincare brands and exports to over 20 countries. It is still owned and run by the founder, Trevor Steyn, from a small town in KZN and remains firmly routed to it’s founding principles.
