When choosing an essence, you can consider the following aspects:
Choose according to skin type:
Dry skin: Need moisturizing and anti-aging, you can choose an essence containing hyaluronic acid, squalane and other ingredients to help lock in moisture and reduce fine lines.
Oily skin: Need oil control and acne removal, you can choose an essence containing salicylic acid, calendula and other ingredients to reduce oil secretion, remove acne and close pores.
Combination skin: The T zone is oily and the cheeks are dry. You need to moisturize, whiten and shrink pores. You can choose a refreshing moisturizing essence or a whitening moisturizing essence.
Sensitive skin: Need gentle care, choose an essence with simple ingredients, such as idebenone essence, olive, etc., to avoid irritation.
Neutral skin: Basic care is enough, use a basic moisturizing essence for 18-25 years old, and add an anti-aging essence for those over 25 years old. Choose by age:
18-25 years old: Focus on basic moisturizing, use moisturizing essence for dry skin, and use refreshing hydrating essence for oily skin.
Above 25 years old: Gradually add anti-aging products, use deep anti-aging/firming and lifting essence for dry skin, and use acne essence or anti-aging essence for oily skin.
Choose by efficacy:
Moisturizing essence: Suitable for all skin types and can be used at any age.
Whitening essence: Suitable for all skin types, but products containing fruit acids may not be suitable for sensitive skin and dry skin.
Anti-aging essence: Suitable for a variety of skin types. It is generally recommended to use it earlier for dry skin. High concentration is not required in the early stage. High-concentration products can be used when obvious signs of aging appear.
Oil-control essence: Suitable for oily skin and combination skin.
Soothing essence: Suitable for sensitive skin and dry skin.
