Dealing with skin that feels irritated, red, or reactive from Mauritius's heat and humidity can be frustrating. This essence is a minimalist, potent solution designed to soothe and calm inflammation. Made with just one ingredient—Mugwort extract—it helps reduce redness, pacify breakouts, and restore comfort to stressed skin.

• Best for: Oily, Combination, Normal, and Sensitive skin types.
• Helps with: Redness, irritation, sensitivity, and inflammatory acne.
• Feel: Watery, lightweight, absorbs quickly with no residue.
• Scent: Natural, herbal, and earthy scent that fades quickly.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Treat with Mugwort Essence: Dispense 2-3 drops into your palms and gently pat onto your face and neck.
3. Protect: Follow with your daily sunscreen in the morning (AM) or a moisturiser at night (PM).

Note: Already have a soothing serum? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) I'M FROM Mugwort Essence → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+).
• Optional Additions: If your skin feels tight, you can add a light moisturiser before your sunscreen.
• Wait Times: Allow the essence 30-60 seconds to absorb before applying your sunscreen.

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser to remove sunscreen and grime) → 2) I'M FROM Mugwort Essence → 3) Moisturiser.
• Optional Additions: If you use other active ingredients like exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, apply them on alternate nights to the Mugwort Essence, or use the essence to buffer and calm the skin on "off" nights.
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM and/or PM:

• Amount: 2-3 drops for the entire face and neck.
• Method: After cleansing (and toning, if you use one), pour the essence into your palms and gently pat it into your skin until absorbed. For extra calming on irritated spots, you can soak a cotton pad and leave it on the area for 5 minutes.
• Frequency: Start once daily (AM or PM). If your skin loves it, you can use it twice a day.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very oily: This lightweight essence provides hydration without adding any grease.
• If your skin is irritated or red: This is its primary function. Use it to calm sensitivity after sun exposure, a reaction, or during a breakout.
• If your skin feels dry: While calming, this essence is not deeply moisturising. Dry skin types should layer it under a richer moisturiser.

• Immediately: Skin feels soothed, cooled, and refreshed. A slight reduction in immediate redness may be noticeable.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you should notice a visible reduction in persistent redness and inflammation. Acne breakouts may appear less angry and heal faster.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin's overall resilience improves. It becomes less reactive to environmental triggers like heat and humidity. The complexion appears calmer and more even-toned.

• Why this, not harsh astringents: Many toners for oily or acne-prone skin use high concentrations of alcohol to "dry out" the skin. This often backfires, stripping the skin's barrier and causing more irritation and rebound oiliness. The Mugwort Essence calms inflammation and hydrates without stripping, addressing the root of the problem more gently and effectively.

• Works Well With: Almost everything! It's an excellent "buffer" to use in a routine with strong actives like retinoids, Vitamin C, or chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA). Use it on nights you're not using actives to help your skin recover, or layer it before your active if you have very sensitive skin.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Due to its watery texture, always apply it before heavier creams or oils.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or wounded skin without consulting a professional.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides lightweight hydration and powerful soothing without any greasy feel.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. Helps to calm the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts.
• Sensitive & Rosacea-Prone Skin: Ideal. Its minimalist, single-ingredient formula is designed to reduce redness and irritation.
• Dry Skin: Suitable as a soothing step, but it is not a primary hydrator. Must be followed by a good moisturiser.
• Normal Skin: A great addition to calm any occasional irritation from sun, heat, or new products.

• Redness and Flushing
• Skin Sensitivity and Reactivity
• Irritation from heat, sun, or harsh products
• Inflammatory Acne and breakouts
• Compromised or Stressed Skin Barrier

Full INCI: Artemisia Princeps Extract (100%).

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. Contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: It has a distinct natural, herbal, and earthy scent from the mugwort extract. Most users find it pleasant and it dissipates quickly after application. Intensity: 2/5.
• Allergens: No EU-declared allergens. However, those with allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family (like ragweed, daisies, marigolds) may have a potential for cross-reactivity. A patch test is always recommended.

• Who should use it: Anyone with red, irritated, or breakout-prone skin looking for a gentle, calming solution.
• Who should use with caution: Those with known allergies to the Asteraceae/Compositae plant family (e.g., ragweed, chamomile, daisies) should patch test carefully.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for topical use, but as with any product, it's best to consult with your doctor.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small area, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or rash. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Kids/Teens: For teenage skin struggling with inflammatory acne, this can be a gentle and effective soothing step. For younger children, consult a paediatrician.

• Texture: A very lightweight, watery liquid. It is not oily or sticky.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a natural, hydrated finish with no residue.
• Scent: Natural and herbaceous, often described as smelling like tea or herbs.
• pH: 6.0 ± 1.0, which is mildly acidic and close to the skin's natural pH, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Considered safe for those with fungal acne as it contains no fatty acids, oils, or esters that the yeast feeds on.

• "It's not hydrating enough." This essence is a soothing treatment, not a dedicated moisturiser. For dry skin, its primary role is to calm. Always follow up with a hydrating serum and/or a richer cream to lock in moisture.
• "I don't see any difference." This product's strength is calming inflammation. If your main concerns are wrinkles, dark spots, or severe dryness, you may not see dramatic results. It works best for its intended purpose: reducing redness and sensitivity.
• "The smell is strong." The earthy, herbal scent is the natural smell of concentrated mugwort and is a sign of its purity. It should fade within a minute of application.

This essence is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Its watery, non-sticky texture is perfect for hot and humid days. It provides a feeling of freshness and soothes heat-induced redness without adding any weight or grease to the skin.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: While still beneficial for its calming properties, you may need to layer more hydrating products on top as the air becomes drier.
• Post-Sun Care: An excellent choice to calm skin after a day at the beach or outdoors. It helps to reduce the immediate redness and sensitivity from sun exposure.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle.

• "My HG since 2019. Light yet moisturising, No fragrance, just an earthy mugwort smell... Most importantly, CALMS REDNESS so fast and keeps my skin happy. On hormonal acne days, I soak cotton pads with this and just let it sit on my skin. It instantly makes my skin feel better!" — YesStyle review (2024-04)
• "I had a very inflamed acne when I started to use this essence. It got rid of the inflammation in 2-3 days. So I can say that it does help with inflammation and redness. It does hydrate my skin but not as much as other products." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2024-02)
• "I really thought this product was all hype and no action, but so far… so good. The texture is interesting—thicker than water but not quite a gel... It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling calm, hydrated, and just a little bouncier." — YesStyle review (2024-08)
• Fair Caveat: Some users with very dry skin note that while it is excellent for calming, it's not a standalone hydrating product and must be layered with more moisturising products to feel sufficient hydration.

Is this the same as a toner?

It's similar in texture but serves a different purpose. Toners primarily balance pH and prep the skin, while this essence is a concentrated treatment step focused on calming and soothing.

Can I use this if I don't have acne or redness?

Yes, it's a wonderful product to have on hand to soothe any occasional irritation, such as after a bit too much sun, trying a new active, or on days when your skin just feels stressed.

How is this different from the I'M FROM Mugwort Mask?

The essence is a lightweight liquid for daily use. The mask is a thicker wash-off treatment for more intensive, occasional soothing sessions (1-2 times a week).

• Best For: Individuals with sensitive, irritated, acne-prone, or redness-prone skin, especially in a hot and humid climate.
• Key Benefits: Powerfully calms redness and inflammation, soothes breakouts, and provides lightweight hydration. Minimalist, single-ingredient formula is ideal for reactive skin.
• Keep in Mind: It is a targeted soothing treatment, not a multi-purpose serum for anti-aging or hyperpigmentation. Very dry skin types will need to layer it with a dedicated moisturiser.

• Coverage: Island-wide delivery (Mauritius).
• Processing & Timing: Orders process in 1–2 business days. Delivery typically takes 1–5 business days after partner pickup.
• Express: May be available by region; request on WhatsApp: +230 5 778 2336.
• Liquids/Sensitive Items: This serum is pickup or door-to-door only.
