Finding hydration that doesn't feel heavy or sticky in the Mauritian humidity can be a real challenge. This watery essence is a solution for skin that feels tight, dehydrated, and looks dull, even if it's oily on the surface. It uses eight different sizes of Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate every layer of the skin from the inside out.

• Texture: A lightweight, slightly viscous watery gel that absorbs instantly.
• Core Function: Deeply hydrates, plumps fine lines, and preps skin to better absorb subsequent products.
• Best Suited For: All skin types, especially dehydrated, combination, and oily skin that dislikes heavy creams.
• Key Ingredients: 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Adenosine.

Follow these steps for immediate, lasting hydration.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Pat slightly dry, leaving it a little damp.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply 1-2 pumps of the Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence onto your damp face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with sunscreen in the morning to protect your newly hydrated skin. At night, use a moisturiser to seal everything in.

Note: Already own a hydrating serum or essence? Finish that bottle first to practice mindful consumption. This product is a substitute for that step, not an addition.

Use this essence to create a plump, hydrated canvas for your sunscreen and makeup.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Gentle Cleanser → 2) Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+).
• Optional Additions: If your skin is extra dry, you can add a light moisturiser before your sunscreen. Most people in Mauritius will find this essence plus a hydrating sunscreen is enough.
• Wait Times: Allow the essence to absorb for about 30-60 seconds before applying your sunscreen.

At night, focus on replenishing the hydration lost during the day.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil cleanser then water-based cleanser if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence → 3) Moisturiser.
• Optional Additions: On nights you use an exfoliant (like an AHA or BHA toner), apply it after cleansing and before this essence. You can also follow with a facial oil or sleeping mask as the final step if your skin is very dry from air conditioning.
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest. This essence comes after cleansing and any chemical exfoliants, but before creams or oils.

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: 1-2 pumps is sufficient for the entire face and neck.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin. This helps the Hyaluronic Acid pull moisture into the skin more effectively.
• Method: Dispense onto your palms, gently spread across your face and neck, then pat lightly to encourage absorption. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Frequency: Safe for use twice daily, morning and night.

If-This / Then-That Scenarios:

• If your skin feels sticky: You are likely using too much. Try reducing the amount to a single pump.
• If you have a very oily T-zone: This essence can help balance hydration. You may find you can use a lighter moisturiser or let a hydrating sunscreen serve as your final AM step.
• If you work in air conditioning: Re-apply a small amount mid-day over makeup by patting it in gently, or lock it in with a heavier cream at night.
• If you are using strong actives (Retinoids, Vitamin C): This essence is excellent for buffering. Apply it before your active to reduce potential irritation, or after to replenish hydration.

This is a gentle, daily-use product that supports your routine every day.

• Daily: Use AM and PM after cleansing.

Example Week with Actives (PM Focus):

• Monday: Cleanse → Isntree Essence → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Tuesday: Cleanse → Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA) → Isntree Essence → Moisturiser
• Wednesday: Cleanse → Isntree Essence → Soothing Moisturiser (Active-free night)
• Thursday: Cleanse → Isntree Essence → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Friday: Cleanse → Isntree Essence → Soothing Moisturiser (Active-free night)
• Saturday: Cleanse → Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA) → Isntree Essence → Sleeping Mask
• Sunday: Cleanse → Isntree Essence → Soothing Moisturiser (Active-free night)

Key Rule: This essence plays well with almost all ingredients. Its main role is to provide foundational hydration that supports your stronger, treatment-focused products.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly quenched, soothed, and plumped. Tightness and discomfort from dehydration are reduced.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin appears more supple and fine dehydration lines are less noticeable. Your skin barrier will feel healthier and more resilient.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin texture looks smoother and has a healthy, hydrated glow (often called "glass skin"). Makeup applies more evenly without clinging to dry patches.

• Instead of thinking "My oily skin doesn't need a hydrator"... Understand that oily skin is often dehydrated. Your skin produces excess oil to compensate for a lack of water. A lightweight, oil-free hydrator like this essence gives your skin the water it needs, helping to balance sebum production over time.
• Instead of splashing your face with water throughout the day... This provides only temporary relief and can lead to more dehydration as the water evaporates. Use a dedicated hydrator like this essence under a moisturiser to lock in moisture for the long term.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Retinoids (Retinol/Retinal), Niacinamide, Peptides, and Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA, PHA). It's a universal hydrator that helps buffer and support other active ingredients.
• Use With Caution: No major incompatibilities. It is designed to be a foundational step in almost any routine.
• How to Layer: Always apply after cleansing and after any low-pH actives like Vitamin C or chemical exfoliants. Apply before thicker creams, oils, and sunscreen.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides deep hydration without adding oil or a greasy feel, helping to balance the skin.
• Dehydrated Skin: This is its primary target. It directly replenishes water content at multiple levels.
• Dry Skin: A great hydrating layer, but it must be sealed in with a nourishing cream or facial oil to prevent moisture loss.
• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Generally well-tolerated due to its simple, fragrance-free formula. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, which can reduce sensitivity and breakouts over time.

• Dehydration and skin tightness
• Fine lines caused by lack of moisture
• Dull, lackluster skin
• Compromised or weakened skin barrier
• Preparing skin for better absorption of other products
• Soothing irritated skin from over-exfoliation or sun exposure

• Who Should Use with Caution: While formulated for sensitivity, skin that is severely compromised or has known allergies to any specific ingredient in the list should exercise caution. Fungal-acne prone individuals should note the presence of a seed oil, though the risk is low.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, like behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or burning, rinse the area and do not use the product.
• Teens & Tweens: This is a safe and suitable hydrating step for young skin, fitting perfectly within a simple routine of cleanser, this essence, moisturiser, and daily sunscreen.

• Texture: A smooth, viscous, water-gel that spreads easily and absorbs without a fight.

• pH: Approximately 6.0 - 7.0, which is close to the skin's natural pH, making it gentle and non-stripping.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Note: The formula contains Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil. While not a common trigger, those with very sensitive fungal acne should patch test carefully. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky after application.
  Solution: You're likely using too much product, or your skin wasn't damp enough. Try reducing the amount to one pump and always apply to slightly damp skin for faster, tack-free absorption.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a week.
  Solution: Hydration is a long game. Ensure you are using it consistently twice a day and, crucially, sealing it in with a moisturiser (PM) and protecting it with sunscreen (AM). Without these steps, the hydration can evaporate.
• Issue: The product is pilling under my makeup.
  Solution: Allow the essence to fully absorb for at least 60 seconds before applying your next product (moisturiser or sunscreen). Pilling is often caused by applying subsequent layers too quickly.

• Humid Summers: This essence is ideal. Its lightweight texture provides all the hydration you need without feeling suffocating. For oily skin types, this plus a gel-based sunscreen might be your entire AM routine.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioned Offices: During cooler months or if you spend long hours in AC, this essence is a perfect base layer. Ensure you seal it with a slightly more substantial cream to prevent trans-epidermal water loss in the dry air.

Here’s a summary of recent, real-world user feedback from verified platforms. (Note: These are individual experiences.)

• "A hydration bomb. Sinks in fast and doesn't feel sticky at all. My oily, dehydrated skin loves it under sunscreen. It has become a holy grail for me." — Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-05).
• "The renewal with 8 types of HA is a game-changer. It feels like it hydrates so much more deeply than the old version. It plumps my skin from within and my foundation looks better." — Aggregated sentiment from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-02).
• Fair Caveat: "It's a very good basic hydrating essence. It didn't break me out or cause any issues. However, if your skin is extremely dry and you live in a very dry climate, you will definitely need a heavy cream on top as this alone won't be enough." — Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review (2023-11).

Q: Can I use this if I have oily, acne-prone skin?
A: Yes, absolutely. This essence is oil-free and lightweight, so it won't clog pores. By providing adequate hydration, it can actually help balance your skin's oil production over time, potentially leading to fewer breakouts caused by dehydration.

Q: Is this product enough as a moisturizer?
A: For very oily skin in a humid summer, maybe. For most skin types, it is not. An essence is a hydrator (adds water), while a moisturiser is an occlusive (seals water in). It's best to follow this essence with a moisturiser to lock in all the benefits, especially at night.

Q: What's the difference between this and a Hyaluronic Acid serum?
A: The terms are often used interchangeably. Essences are typically more watery and lightweight in texture than serums. This product functions as a powerful hydrating serum but with the light, fast-absorbing texture of an essence.

Best For: Individuals with any skin type, especially oily, combination, and dehydrated, looking for a foundational hydration step that plumps the skin from within without any stickiness.

Key Benefits:

• Delivers multi-depth hydration with 8 forms of Hyaluronic Acid.
• Plumps fine lines and gives skin a smooth, dewy glow.
• Absorbs instantly with a non-sticky, watery texture perfect for layering.

Keep in Mind:

• It is a hydrator, not a complete moisturiser. Dry skin types will need to layer a cream on top to lock in the moisture.
• It focuses purely on hydration and basic anti-aging (adenosine), so if your primary concerns are hyperpigmentation or severe acne, you will need to pair it with other targeted treatments.
