Our favorite essences will help make the skin soft and supple; no wonder this product remains a key step in the Korean 10 step skincare program. However, there is no need to travel overseas, there are many essences you can get right here in the States, including Biotherm's top selling Life Plankton essence. The brand sent a free sample of Life Plankton Essence to the Skincare.com team for review, and we'll share our thoughts with you in advance.

WHAT IS THE ESSENCE? 

You won't be able to appreciate this particular entity if you don't know what an entity is, so let's get some clarity. Known for being the heart of the Korean skincare routine., the essence has earned its stellar reputation as a primer for prepping skin for moisturizers and serums. Think of it like a primer, the equivalent of makeup in the skincare world. It is usually used on fresh canvas after toner application and just before serum application. You can expect it to offer the skin an extra dose of moisture and also brighten up the complexion. In texture and formula, the essence is often similar to a tonic, but acts like a less concentrated serum.

WHY YOU NEED THE ESSENCE TO WORK

Essence is a great way to solve skin problems to maintain a healthy complexion. Especially in winter when the skin is prone to dryness, applying a moisturizing essence can go a long way. Just make sure you choose one that is formulated for your skin type or is safe for all skin types and ages.

WHAT IS PLANKTON LIFE?

Plankton, found in the hot springs of the French Pyrenees, is a living microorganism endowed with extraordinary restorative properties. This resistant microorganism is the inspiration for Biotherm's entire Life Plankton range, including Life Plankton Essence. Once Biotherm biologists discovered the benefits of plankton, they were able to recreate its purest form, Life Plankton, through a state-of-the-art biofermentation process.

BIOTHERM LIFE PLANKTON ESSENCE OVERVIEW

After trying Life Plankton Essence, I understand why this is one of Biotherm's top selling products. Before I applied the essence to my face, I felt the essence soften my palms almost instantly without leaving a greasy residue. As soon as I applied it to my face and neck, I felt my skin instantly refreshed and hydrated. With continued use for just over a week, I have noticed that my skin is softer and more youthful.

For use: Apply Life Plankton Essence morning and evening to freshly cleansed skin after moisturizing. Shake the bottle and apply a few drops to the palm of your hand. Apply with patting motions on the forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. With both hands, gently tap your fingertips on your face and neck. Then take about 2 more drops on two fingers and apply to areas of the face that are especially dry or need extra attention. Finally, finish with "wave" movements to promote the circulation of fluid from inside the face out and up.
