Most skincare is doing too much.

Ever notice how your skin gets worse the more products you try? There's a reason. Most brands pile on ingredients, hoping a few might work. Your poor skin is overwhelmed, irritated, and nowhere near its natural best.

What if less actually worked better?

We stripped away everything unnecessary and focused on five ingredients proven to strengthen your skin's natural barrier. The result? Skin that looks better, feels better, and actually gets healthier—not just temporarily masked.

Real results you can see and feel.

I'm on planes constantly and my skin was so dehydrated and angry. The travel size is perfect for my carry-on and actually WORKS, unlike all the other travel-sized stuff I've tried.

Kai Tanaka

frequent traveler

Got sucked into the 12-step routines and destroyed my skin barrier. This fixed what fancy serums couldn't. Wish I hadn't wasted so much money before finding this!

Diane Lawson

recovering from over-exfoliation

Not gonna lie, I was super skeptical about a one-product routine. But my skin was freaking out from all the stuff I was using. Two months with Essentia and my coworkers keep asking what I'm doing differently!

Jennifer Thompson

formerly used 9-step routine

I'm 52 and have tried it all over the years. This is the first product where I actually finished the jar and immediately bought another. My skin just looks... healthy? And I love that I can refill it.

Aisha Rodriguez

using ESSENCE for 6 months

Honestly? I was just tired of the guesswork. This works, it's simple, and I've saved a ton of money. My bathroom counter isn't cluttered with half-used bottles anymore. Thank god.

Sarah Mitchell

combination skin

My skin hated EVERYTHING. Literally everything broke me out. I tried this as a last resort and... yeah. Should've started here. No more redness around my nose and cheeks!

Frequently asked questions.

Contact Support

Will simplifying my routine really improve my skin?

Most dermatologists now recognize that over-treatment is one of the primary causes of skin sensitivity and barrier damage. By reducing ingredients and steps, you allow your skin's natural functions to rebalance and strengthen. Our studies show that 89% of participants experienced significant improvement after simplifying.

How long until I see results?

Most users notice improved texture and hydration within 7-10 days as their skin barrier function normalizes. More significant changes in tone, resilience, and fine lines typically emerge after 28 days, which coincides with your skin's natural renewal cycle.

Is Essentia suitable for all skin types?

Yes. Rather than creating different products for different "skin types" (a marketing concept with limited scientific basis), we've developed one formulation that supports fundamental skin functions that benefit all skin. The variable is amount and frequency, not formulation.

How does Essentia compare to my multi-step routine?

Essentia provides all the essential nutrients your skin needs in one product. Most multi-step routines contain redundant ingredients and fillers that can actually counteract each other or irritate your skin. Our formula eliminates these conflicts while delivering optimal concentrations of proven actives.

Is the refill system easy to use?

Absolutely. When you finish your jar, simply order a refill pod, remove the empty inner container, and snap in the new one. The process takes seconds and reduces packaging waste by 94% compared to buying a new jar.

Do you offer samples before committing?

Yes. Our Essential Introduction includes a travel size (15ml) of our core product, allowing you to experience ESSENCE for two weeks before investing in a full-size jar.

Our journey continues on social.
