Dive into deep, lasting hydration with ETUDE's Moistfull Collagen Essence. This bouncy, refreshing essence is formulated with ultra-fine Super Collagen™ particles and White Lupin peptides to drench your skin in moisture, leaving it feeling plump, firm, and dewy. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly without stickiness, making it an ideal hydrating layer for all skin types in Mauritius's tropical climate.

• Who It's For: Anyone with dry, dehydrated, or combination skin. Also suitable for oily skin types looking for a lightweight, non-greasy hydrator.
• What It Is: A lightweight, bouncy essence that delivers intense moisture to the skin.
• What to Expect: Immediately hydrated, softer skin. With consistent use, skin appears plumper, fine lines from dehydration are less visible, and the complexion has a healthy, dewy glow.
• Texture & Finish: A watery, gel-like essence that absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh, hydrated finish without stickiness.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Essence: Dispense 1-2 pumps of the Moistfull Collagen Essence and gently pat it onto your face and neck until absorbed.
3. Seal & Protect: Follow with your favorite sunscreen in the morning or a moisturiser in the evening to lock in the hydration.

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

Minimalist Morning Routine (3-4 Steps):

1. Cleanse: Gently wash your face with water or a mild cleanser.
2. Hydrating Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to damp skin for an extra layer of moisture.
3. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Dispense 1-2 pumps of the Moistfull Collagen Essence and pat it into your skin.
4. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). In Mauritius's climate, a hydrating sunscreen might be enough moisture for oily or combination skin types.

Wait Times: Allow about 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Evening Routine (3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Dispense 1-2 pumps of the Moistfull Collagen Essence and pat it into your skin.
3. Moisturiser: Seal everything in with a moisturiser suitable for your skin type to lock in hydration overnight.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture (like this essence) to the thickest (like a cream or facial oil).

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: 1–2 pumps for the entire face and neck.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned skin.
• Method: Dispense onto fingertips, then gently smooth and pat onto your skin until fully absorbed. The patting motion helps with absorption.
• Frequency: Use twice daily, in your morning and evening routines, for best results.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very Oily T-zone? Use just one pump and focus on layering thinly. In very humid weather, this might be enough hydration on its own before sunscreen.
• Very Dry/AC Environment? Apply to damp skin after a toner and follow immediately with a richer cream to seal in all the moisture. You can even apply a second layer if needed.
• Sensitive/Reactive? Start by using it only in your evening routine for the first week to ensure your skin is happy before moving to twice-daily use. Always patch-test first.
• Under Makeup? Allow the essence to fully absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or primer. This helps prevent pilling and creates a smooth, hydrated canvas.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash or irritation develops and persists.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly quenched, soft, and refreshed. Any feeling of tightness is relieved.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: Skin texture appears smoother and more supple. You may notice a reduction in flaky patches and a healthier, dewy glow.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use, skin feels noticeably plumper and bouncier. Fine lines caused by dehydration are less visible, and overall skin elasticity feels improved.

Myth: "My skin is oily, so I don't need a hydrator or moisturiser."

Truth: Oily skin can still be dehydrated (lacking water), which can cause it to produce even more oil to compensate. Using a lightweight, oil-free hydrator like the Moistfull Collagen Essence replenishes your skin's water content without adding grease. This helps balance sebum production, leading to less shine and healthier skin in the long run, especially in a humid climate like Mauritius.

This hydrating essence is a versatile team player in any skincare routine.

• ✅ Works Well With: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Retinoids, Hyaluronic Acid, and Peptides. Its hydrating properties can help buffer the potential irritation from stronger active ingredients like retinol or exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs).
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Simply follow the "thinnest to thickest" rule. Apply this watery essence before any heavier creams or oils to ensure it absorbs properly.

• 💧 Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides a crucial layer of deep hydration to plump skin and relieve tightness.
• ↔️ Combination: Very good. Hydrates dry patches on the cheeks without making the T-zone feel greasy.
• ✨ Normal: Perfect for maintaining a healthy moisture balance and achieving a dewy glow.
• Oily: Good. Can serve as a lightweight, oil-free hydrator. In very humid weather, it might even be sufficient as a standalone moisturiser before sunscreen.
• Sensitive: Use with caution. While hydrating, this product contains fragrance and alcohol, which can be irritating for some sensitive skin types. A patch test is highly recommended.

• Dehydration & Dryness: Its primary function is to deliver intense and lasting moisture, combating tightness and flakiness.
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles (due to dryness): By plumping the skin with hydration, it helps to smooth the appearance of fine dehydration lines.
• Loss of Plumpness & Elasticity: Helps restore a bouncy, firm feel to the skin through deep hydration.
• Dull & Fatigued Skin: Revives tired-looking skin by providing a surge of moisture, resulting in a healthier, more radiant complexion.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Hydrolyzed Collagen (Super Collagen™ Water): Fine collagen particles that act as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture to the skin's surface. This hydrates and plumps the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness.
• Lupinus Albus (White Lupin) Protein: A plant-derived ingredient known to contain peptides that help moisturise the skin, leaving it looking firm and supple.
• Glycerin: A classic, effective humectant that pulls moisture from the air into the skin, keeping it hydrated and soft.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while also providing moisturizing benefits.

Full INCI List:

Hydrolyzed Collagen, Water / Aqua / Eau, Propanediol, Alcohol Denat., Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Alcohol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Disodium EDTA, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate, Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein, Fragrance / Parfum, Tocopherol.

• Fragrance: Contains added fragrance (Parfum). The scent is generally described as light, fresh, and slightly floral. Intensity: 2/5.
• Alcohol: Contains Alcohol Denat., which may be drying or irritating for very dry or sensitive skin types.
• EU Allergens: The provided INCI list does not explicitly declare common EU allergens like Linalool or Limonene, but they may be components of the "Fragrance/Parfum." A patch test is strongly recommended for sensitive skin.

Who Should Use with Caution:

• Individuals with very sensitive skin, rosacea, or a compromised skin barrier should be cautious due to the presence of alcohol and fragrance.
• While not specifically contraindicated, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's always best to review any new skincare product with your doctor.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the essence to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner wrist.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, repeat the test for a second day to ensure there is no delayed sensitivity.
4. If your skin remains calm, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if any irritation occurs.

• Texture: A lightweight, bouncy, watery gel-essence that spreads easily.
• Feel: Feels cool and refreshing upon application. Absorbs without a greasy or heavy feeling.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and looking dewy and hydrated.
• Scent: A subtle, clean, and fresh floral fragrance.
• pH: The exact pH is not publicly disclosed by the brand, but similar hydrating essences typically fall within a skin-friendly range of 5.5 - 6.5.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky after application.
  Solution: You may be using too much product. Try reducing the amount to one pump. Applying the essence to slightly damp skin can also help it absorb more effectively and reduce any tacky feeling.
• Issue: The product is pilling or balling up under my makeup.
  Solution: This usually happens from applying too much product or not allowing enough time for layers to absorb. Use a thinner layer of the essence and wait at least 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying your sunscreen or foundation.
• Issue: It doesn't feel moisturising enough for my very dry skin.
  Solution: This is a hydrating essence, not a rich cream. For very dry skin, it's designed to be a powerful hydrating layer, not the final step. Always follow up with a more substantial, occlusive moisturiser to seal in the hydration provided by the essence.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-sticky texture makes this essence perfect for Mauritius's humid weather. For those with oily or combination skin, it can often double as a standalone daytime moisturiser under sunscreen, providing hydration without adding heaviness or shine.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: During the cooler, drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, this essence provides an essential layer of deep hydration. For dry skin types, it works best when layered under a more protective cream to prevent moisture loss in dry air.

• Packaging: Comes in an 80ml plastic bottle with a convenient and hygienic pump dispenser.

"It feels like a drink of water for my skin. I have combination skin and this gives me the perfect amount of hydration without feeling greasy at all. My skin feels so plump and bouncy after using it."
— Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-05)

"The texture is amazing, it's this watery gel that just sinks right in. I use it before my moisturiser and it has really helped with the fine lines on my forehead that were from dehydration."
— Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-02)

Fair Caveat: "I like the hydration it gives, but the fragrance is a bit strong for me. My skin is okay with it, but if you're very sensitive to scents, you might want to patch test this one first."
— Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review (2024-03)

Can I use the Moistfull Collagen Essence if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes, most likely. Its lightweight, gel-like texture provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, which is great for oily skin. However, it does contain alcohol and fragrance, so if you have sensitive, acne-prone skin, a patch test is recommended.

Does the collagen in this essence actually absorb and replace my skin's collagen?

No, that's a common misconception. The collagen molecules in this essence are too large to penetrate deep into the dermis to replace your natural collagen. Instead, Hydrolyzed Collagen acts as an excellent humectant on the skin's surface, binding water to plump up the skin and smooth the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration.

Can I use this essence with my retinol or Vitamin C serum?

Absolutely. The Moistfull Collagen Essence is a perfect hydrating companion to stronger active ingredients. Applying it before your retinol or after your Vitamin C can help buffer potential irritation and keep your skin's moisture barrier supported.

Is this product vegan?

No, this product is not vegan as it contains Hydrolyzed Collagen, which is an animal-derived ingredient (typically from fish).

Best For: Those seeking intense, lightweight hydration to achieve a plump, dewy, and "chok-chok" (bouncy) skin texture.
