What is the difference between a booster and essence?

Face boosters are designed to hydrate the skin. These products often contain active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and peptides, which help to stimulate and renew the skin. Face boosters can come in different forms, such as serums, oils and lotions. They are usually applied after cleansing the skin and before applying moisturiser to ensure the active ingredients can penetrate the skin better.

Face essences are lightweight products designed to moisturise and brighten the skin. These products often contain active ingredients such as niacinamide, glycolic acid and green tea extract, which help to revitalise and rejuvenate the skin. Face essences are usually applied after cleansing the skin and before applying a face booster and/or moisturiser. They are absorbed quickly and can help improve skin texture and even out the complexion.

In general, both face boosters and essences are meant to hydrate and revitalise the skin. Although these products are similar, there are some key differences. Face boosters often contain active ingredients designed to stimulate and renew the skin, while face essences often contain active ingredients designed to brighten and even out. It is important to remember that each product is unique and can offer different benefits for different skin types. It is therefore advisable to get proper advice from a Skins Expert to understand which ingredients are suitable for your skin type and skin condition.
