Korean Essence
Essence is perhaps the most Korean step of any skincare routine. You apply it after toner and before serum: a light, watery liquid that adds extra hydration and leaves skin supple. Korean essences often revolve around fermented ingredients, snail mucin and plant extracts. Here you’ll find every Korean essence at Boozyshop.

Essence or toner?
A Korean toner preps your skin, while an essence treats it in a more targeted way and is slightly richer. Some products, such as the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, sit right in between. After your essence, follow with a Korean serum and a Korean moisturiser.
Choose by ingredient
For dehydrated skin, choose an essence with hyaluronic acid; for sensitive or compromised skin, an essence with snail mucin.
