This is a gel like product that is said to exfoliate and moisturise. I prefer to put a few drops in my hand and press in because it gets absorbed in a cotton pad and has little effect. It's early days, but this is a potent lotion, so start with caution and build up the use. I didn't and ended up with some flaking. Jury's out on this.

Augustinus Bader's The Essence is a skincare must-have! The lightweight, silky texture absorbs like a dream, leaving my skin refreshed and ready for anything. Powered by the TFC8® technology, it's like a magic potion for a smoother, more youthful complexion. I use it morning and night, seamlessly blending with the rest of my routine. The chic packaging adds a touch of luxury to my skincare ritual. Yes, it's a splurge, but the visible results are worth every penny. Fine lines are less noticeable, and my skin looks healthier overall. Treat yourself—The Essence is a game-changer!

Absolutely love this essence, it sinks bra into the skin, non sticky, just glowing skin

Best way to use this is to put some on your finger tips and then pat o to your skin. I don’t use a cotton pad as it is expensive and most of us gets soaked into the pad and unused

I like bader products but some Don’t last long for the price. The essence lasts for ages and is great on the skin. I use it every morning before moisturising and my skin feels incredible. Highly recommended
