ESSE Pre-Care Oil

Yelena’s note: We tested this during our SkinPen training, microneedling on each other before recommending it to a single client. The difference was obvious. Skin that had been prepped with the Pre-Care Oil handled the treatment better, less redness, less sensitivity, faster settling. Our clients have since confirmed exactly what we saw. If you’re booking a microneedling treatment with us, this is what we’ll recommend you start using two weeks before your appointment. It prepares your skin properly so the treatment can do its best work.
Good for: Pre-treatment skin preparation, strengthening barrier function, regulating immune response, inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, supporting the skin microbiome before microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and radiofrequency treatments.

Use together with the Esse Activator. Dispense 1 to 2 pumps of the Pre-Care Oil in the palm of your hand with 2 pumps of the Activator. Emulsify together with fingertips and apply to the treatment area twice daily. Start with an equal amount and adjust to your skin’s needs, more oil if skin feels dry, less if it feels oily.
For more invasive treatments (deep microneedling, ablative laser resurfacing, medium to deep chemical peels), use for up to 2 weeks before your treatment. For less invasive treatments (shallow microneedling, superficial chemical peels, non-ablative procedures), use for a minimum of 3 days before treatment.
The Pre-Care Oil and Activator can replace all other topical products during this period, though your essential products can still be used as needed. Unsure, reach out so we will guide you on the exact timeline for your specific treatment.

ESSE Post-Care Oil
£72.50Yelena’s note: This is the one that really impressed us. After microneedling during our training sessions, the skin treated with the Post-Care Oil healed noticeably faster. Less flaking, more glow, skin felt plump and comfortable rather than tight and irritated. Our clients have said the same thing. The combination of high-dose live probiotics and Sapienic Acid does something genuinely different to how skin recovers. We now recommend this as standard aftercare for all our SkinPen microneedling clients.
Good for: Post-treatment skin recovery, normalising the microbiome after disruption, rapid resolution of inflammation, protecting skin from infection during healing, supporting collagen production, reducing downtime after microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and radiofrequency treatments.

About the Product
A facial oil containing a high dose of live Lactobacillus probiotics and Sapienic Acid, designed to protect the skin after an aesthetic treatment. It supports the skin’s microbiome during its most vulnerable phase, speeds up recovery, and promotes collagen deposition for enhanced skin remodelling. Contains 100 million colony forming units of live probiotics per ml. Always used together with the Esse Activator.
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.

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 Activator
£49.00Yelena’s note: This is the product that makes the Pre-Care and Post-Care Oils work. You always use it alongside one of them, never on its own. It releases the live probiotics from the oils and feeds them with prebiotics so they can do their job on your skin. We use it in every SkinPen aftercare protocol in the studio. Simple to apply, and it adds hydration through hyaluronic acid which is exactly what skin needs when it’s recovering.
Good for:
Releasing and activating live probiotics from Pre-Care and Post-Care Oils, providing prebiotic nourishment for beneficial microbes, reducing inflammation, increasing skin hydration, buffering skin pH to the correct level for probiotic growth, supporting recovery after microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and radiofrequency treatments.
30ml
About the Product
A water-based activator used in conjunction with the Pre-Care Oil (before treatment) and the Post-Care Oil (after treatment). It acts as an emulsifier to release the live probiotics from the oils and provides a prebiotic mix to nourish them. Hyaluronic acid reduces inflammation and hydrates the skin. This product is essential to the Esse Aesthetics system and should not be used on its own.
