Essences, Mists & Serums, what’s the difference?

To create the perfect skincare ritual that delivers optimal results, it is essential to understand the difference between skincare products, how they can benefit your skin and when in your skincare ritual they should be used. Let us be your guide as we uncover the difference between some of Jurlique’s favourite products.

What is the difference between Jurlique’s Activating Water Essence+ and Jurlique Mists?

Water-based and enriched with botanical skin-loving ingredients, Jurlique mists can be used after cleansing or spritzed throughout the day, providing the surface layers of your skin with instant hydration. Our range of mists benefits the skin in various ways, helping to refresh, calm or revitalize tired, dull skin.

Activating Water Essence+ is also a water-based product that provides skin with a boost in hydration. But where this wonder product differs is that it activates the skin’s ability to retain moisture, replenishing the skin’s natural lipids to help improve absorption. This helps create a healthy, hydrated environment for the superior penetration of serums and moisturisers in the next steps of your skincare ritual.

What is the difference between Jurlique’s Activating Water Essence+ vs Jurlique Serums

Activating Water Essence+ is all about preparing, hydrating and activating the skin to help maximise the benefits of the other products used in your skincare ritual. Jurlique serums, which are applied after Activating Water Essence+, target a variety of different skin concerns. These serums are richer and more viscous in texture, containing more specific active ingredients to help address these targeted concerns.

What is the difference between Jurlique’s Activating Water Essence+ vs Toners

Toners and essences are often confused as they are both watery in texture and typically applied after cleansing, but their benefits are quite different. While toners are used to remove the last traces of cleanser and rebalance the pH level of your skin, Activating Water Essence+ is used to hydrate and prepare the skin for the next steps in your ritual. Another key difference is the application; toners are usually applied with a cotton pad, while Activating Water Essence+ is gently pressed and smoothed over the face, neck and decolletage.
