ESSE Deep Moisturiser
£58.00Yelena’s note: Lightweight but does the job well. Perfect for someone who needs hydration and an antioxidant boost without a thick moisturiser layer. As someone with larger, more prominent pores who can get congested and breakout-prone especially in my luteal phase, this moisturiser has been a firm staple for me. Like all ESSE products, I appreciate the formula. It focuses on feeding the skin with the right ingredients — antioxidant-rich rooibos and baobab extract, but also lightweight lipids like jojoba and manketti seed oil.
About the product: Hydrates and balances without leaving greasy residue or dry patches. Contains probiotic and prebiotic extracts to strengthen barrier function and support your skin microbiome. Hyaluronic acid delivers moisture, while omega-3 oils from jojoba, marula, manketti and yangu improve lipid barrier function. Potent antioxidants from rooibos, baobab fruit extract, olive leaf and grape seed extracts neutralise free radicals that cause premature ageing. Kigelia lightens sun spots and evens skin tone. pH balanced at 4.5 to match skin and optimise the environment for beneficial microbes.
Good for: All skin types. Combination, oily and breakout-prone skin. Normal skin needing daily hydration without heaviness. Works as a day or night moisturiser depending on your skin’s needs.

ESSE Eye & Lip Cream
£45.50Yelena’s note: This does two jobs well, which is why it’s stayed in my kit. It hydrates and protects the eye area without weight or irritation, and it works as a treatment layer under lip balm when lips are compromised. The formula is built around Hyaluronic Acid for plumping, Rooibos and Olive Leaf for antioxidant protection, and Rosehip and Jojoba for barrier repair. In treatments we apply it to clients’ lips at the start and leave it working throughout the facial, then layer Lena Wild Lip Care Treatment over the top before they leave. Chapped lips respond well to this combination – the hydration holds and the texture softens.
About the product: A rich but light-weighted cream packed with actives to protect the skin around the eye and lip areas. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and a combination of antioxidants fight the signs of ageing. BIOME+ Level 2 and 3 formulation indicates high levels of prebiotics (Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharides) and probiotic extracts used to shift microbial populations at the expense of pro-ageing species. Plumps and softens. Improves the appearance of fine lines. Healing and regenerating. Ideal for even the most sensitive skins.
Good for: All skin types, for delicate eye area, fine lines, lip hydration and nourishment.
