Lumière de Vie^® The Essence promotes skin barrier surface-cell turnover to reveal your natural radiance and healthy-looking skin. It’s not a serum or a toner despite its lightweight consistency. Lumière de Vie^® The Essence is a lightweight-yet-powerful formula and delivers high concentrations of active ingredients quickly into the skin. Toners usually contain alcohol and are intended to remove excess dirt, oil and makeup from skin (like another cleansing step). Serums deliver more concentrated amounts of ingredients to target specific skin concerns.

Absolutely! Our essence pairs beautifully with all of your current skincare favorites! Because of its ability to prep skin for better product absorption, you may see improved results like the examples below by pairing The Essence with other treatments and serums. Hydrate 3.0 (hyaluronic acid) + The Essence can help promote hydration and skin plumpness. Brightening C-Serum (vitamin C) + The Essence can help ignite your skin's radiance and glow. Super Soother (niacinimide/vitamin B3) + The Essence can help even the look of skin texture and calm imperfections. Retinol + The Essence will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin.

Lumière de Vie^® The Essence is expertly designed to prep your skin, enhancing its ability to optimally absorb the benefits of subsequent treatments and serums.

We recommend using The Essence after cleansing and toning, and before serums and moisturizers.
