Seeing the first signs of aging or feeling like your skin has lost its bounce can be disheartening. This essence is a revitalizing, watery treatment designed for skin that's starting to show fine lines, dullness, or a loss of firmness. It floods the skin with hydration and powerful antioxidants to restore a smooth, plump, and radiant complexion, making it an excellent first step in an anti-aging routine.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Miguhara Essence) — See "How to Use" for the right amount. Apply to slightly damp skin.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in the essence and protect your skin.

Note: Already using a hydrating or anti-aging essence? Finish that bottle first. Substitute this in its place, don’t just add another layer.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser → Gently wash your face.
2. Miguhara Anti-Wrinkle First Essence Origin → Apply a few drops to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+) → The most crucial step to prevent further signs of aging.

Optional: Add a dedicated moisturiser before your sunscreen only if your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough for the Mauritian climate.

Wait times: Allow the essence 30-60 seconds to absorb before applying your next step.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser → Double cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (Oil Cleanse → Water/Foam Cleanse).
2. Miguhara Anti-Wrinkle First Essence Origin → Apply to face and neck to nourish and repair overnight.
3. Moisturiser → Lock in the hydration from the essence with a cream suited to your skin type.

Optional: You can add a targeted treatment serum (like a gentle retinol or peptide serum) before this essence on alternate nights for enhanced anti-aging benefits. Follow the texture rule: thinnest to thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: 2-4 drops (or about a 1-rupee coin-sized puddle in your palm).
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed, slightly damp face and neck. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: Pour into palms, press gently onto the skin, and then lightly pat until absorbed.
• Frequency: Start once daily (PM is great) for the first week to see how your skin adjusts. If well-tolerated, increase to AM and PM use.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very Dry Skin? Apply 2-3 layers of this essence, waiting 30 seconds between each, before sealing with a rich cream.
• Oily/Combination Skin? One layer is likely enough. In Mauritius' humidity, this might provide enough moisture before a light gel-cream.
• Sensitive Skin? Use only in your PM routine for the first 1-2 weeks. Introduce slowly.
• Using a separate Retinol/AHA/BHA product? Use this essence first to hydrate and buffer the skin, which can reduce potential irritation from stronger actives.
• Under Makeup? Its lightweight texture makes it a great hydrating base. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or primer to prevent pilling.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop if a burning rash occurs. While formulated to be gentle, it's best for adult skincare concerns.

This essence is gentle and designed for daily use. Here is how it fits into a routine with other actives:

• Daily: Use this essence every AM and PM after cleansing.

Example week with alternating actives (PM focus):

• Mon: Cleanse → Miguhara Essence → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Tue: Cleanse → Exfoliating Toner (AHA/BHA) → Miguhara Essence → Moisturiser
• Wed: Cleanse → Miguhara Essence → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Thu: Cleanse → Miguhara Essence → Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser (Rest Night)
• Fri: Cleanse → Miguhara Essence → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Sat: Cleanse → Exfoliating Toner (AHA/BHA) → Miguhara Essence → Moisturiser
• Sun: Cleanse → Miguhara Essence → Sleeping Pack (Rest Night)

Rule: Always use this essence before stronger actives like retinoids, but after chemical exfoliating toners. It helps hydrate and prepare the skin. Do not use strong retinoids and strong acids on the same night.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, soothed, and plump. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, dewy finish without stickiness.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, skin appears more radiant and feels consistently moisturised. The skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of fine lines, particularly those caused by dehydration, may be visibly reduced. Skin texture looks smoother and feels firmer. Improvements in elasticity and overall brightness become more noticeable. Remember, significant wrinkle improvement is a long-term process and requires consistent use and daily sun protection.

Why this hydrating essence, not harsh anti-wrinkle treatments?

• Myth: You need aggressive peels or scrubs to fight wrinkles.
• Truth: Harsh treatments can damage your skin barrier, leading to irritation and inflammation that can actually accelerate aging. This essence focuses on strengthening and hydrating the skin with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, and Adenosine. Well-hydrated, healthy skin is more resilient and shows fewer fine lines. It’s about building skin health, not stripping it down.

• Works Well With: Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinoids (can act as a hydrating buffer), Vitamin C, Peptides, Ceramides, and Sunscreen. Its gentle, watery formula makes it an excellent team player in almost any routine.
• Use With Caution: No major conflicts are known. However, if you are layering multiple products, always follow the "thinnest to thickest" texture rule. Apply this watery essence before thicker serums or creams.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or freshly irritated skin.

• Dry / Dehydrated Skin: Excellent. Provides a deep, watery layer of hydration that thirsty skin will love. Seal it in with a good moisturiser.
• Normal / Combination Skin: Ideal. Hydrates without adding excess oil, helping to balance the skin.
• Oily Skin: Very suitable. Its lightweight, non-sticky formula provides essential hydration that can help regulate sebum production without clogging pores.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated due to its focus on soothing and hydrating ingredients. However, it contains several botanical extracts and essential oils, so a patch test is always recommended.

• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the ingredients. However, botanical extracts can still cause reactions in sensitive individuals. A patch test is always advised.

Who should use with caution:

• Those with known allergies to botanical extracts, especially rose or mushrooms.
• Extremely sensitive skin types should introduce this essence slowly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: While the brand formulates with ingredients generally considered suitable during pregnancy, it is always best to consult your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, like your inner wrist, jawline, or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product.
3. If the first test is clear, you can re-test on a small area of your face (e.g., along the jaw) and wait another 24-48 hours before applying to your full face.

If irritation occurs: Stop using the product immediately. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

• Texture: A clear, watery liquid. It feels like a slightly more viscous water, not sticky or oily.
• Finish: Absorbs very quickly into the skin, leaving a hydrated, plump, and slightly dewy finish with no residue.
• Scent: A delicate and natural rose fragrance.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but essences of this type are typically formulated to be slightly acidic (pH 5.0-6.0) to be compatible with the skin's natural pH.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains fermented ingredients (Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract) which can sometimes be a trigger for fungal acne. If you are prone to FA, patch test carefully on an affected area.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky after application.
  Solution: You may be using too much product. Try reducing the amount to 2-3 drops. Also, ensure you are applying it to slightly damp skin, which helps with absorption.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results on my deep wrinkles after a month.
  Solution: Skincare is a long-term commitment. This essence is designed to improve fine lines and overall skin health over time. Significant changes to deeper wrinkles often take 3-6 months of consistent use, combined with daily sunscreen. For deep-set wrinkles, cosmetic procedures may be more effective.
• Issue: The product is causing a bit of redness.
  Solution: Stop using the product for a few days to let your skin calm down. Re-introduce it slowly, perhaps only every other night, over a soothing moisturiser, to allow your skin to acclimate. If redness persists, discontinue use.

• Humid Summer: This essence is perfect for Mauritius' humid climate. Its lightweight, watery texture provides deep hydration without feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy. For oily and combination skin types, it might even be hydrating enough to be followed by just sunscreen in the daytime.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: During the slightly drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may want to layer this essence 2-3 times or follow it with a slightly richer moisturiser to ensure your skin stays hydrated and protected from the dry air.

Consider these alternatives if your goals are slightly different:

• For More Potent Wrinkle & Texture Correction: Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML — Choose this if you want a stronger, vitamin A-based approach. It contains Retinal, which works faster than peptides for noticeable improvement in wrinkles and texture. It can be used on the full face, not just the eyes.
• For Intense Repair & Soothing: COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 96 MUCIN POWER ESSENCE 100ML — Choose this if your skin is also sensitive, irritated, or has post-acne marks. While also hydrating, its primary strength is in soothing and repairing the skin barrier.
• For a Stronger Peptide & Growth Factor Focus: APLB COLLAGEN EGF PEPTIDE AMPOULE SERUM 40ML — Choose this if your main goal is boosting collagen with a concentrated dose of peptides and Epidermal Growth Factors (EGF) for firmer skin.

Mindful Use: If you already have a hydrating or peptide essence at home that you enjoy, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and prevents product waste.
