    The Essence

    Inspired by 30 years of research and innovation, this breakthrough 3-in-1 formula combines the properties of a mild chemical exfoliant, a toner and an essence to reveal smoother, softer and more hydrated skin. A powerful combination of our TFC8®, a proprietary complex of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules that promote skin’s innate processes of rejuvenation and repair plus a blend of hydroxy acids including phytic (AHA), salicylic (BHA), and gluconolactone (PHA), gently exfoliate while enhancing the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Antioxidant wasabi ferment protects skin from environmental aggressors, while white peony flower helps to hydrate, soothe and protect from pollution. The result is a brighter, smoother complexion with a radiant, nourished glow.

    The Essence, reduces appearance of discoloration, improves skin texture, enhances skin’s ability to attract and retain moisture. It regulates excessive sebum secretion and reduces appearance of pores.

    Sensitive skin reaction, caused burning & redness

    I wish I'd read the reviews before buying... Unfortunately I had the dreaded skin burn reaction to this product. I have sensitive skin that has flared up to harsh products in the past, however I've never had a reaction to any other AB products so hadn't considered that the Essence might be any different. Within less than a minute of applying the product my skin started to feel a burning sensation and painful to touch. Despite washing it off almost immediately, I developed very painful, bright red blotchy skin all over my face, which didn't subside for nearly two hours. As I said, I've never experienced any negative side effects with any of their other products so assume this was a skin sensitivity issue - definitely recommend trying on a small patch of skin before your full face if you also have sensitive skin!!

    The Essence

    The Essence has been a staple of mine for many years. I don't think I could start a day without it. The best of any I've ever tried. Love it!
