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 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 Hyaluronic Serum
£47.00Yelena’s note: Lightweight. Sinks in immediately. Built on aloe vera and botanical heavyweights – rooibos, willow bark, olive leaf extract, grape seed extract. Not your average drugstore water with a trace of hyaluronic acid promising miracles. This one actually plumps and boosts because the ingredient list is solid, not filler-packed.
About the product:
Hyaluronic acid holds ten times its weight in water. It hydrates deeply and plumps instantly, helping everything you layer on top penetrate better. Contains one million inactivated Lactobacillus bacteria per ml alongside extracts of lysed bacterial cells. Research shows topical probiotics can strengthen barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss. A prebiotic blend of inulin, alpha-glucan oligosaccharides, and yacon root feeds beneficial microbes on your skin. Myrothamnus extract from the Namibian resurrection plant is rich in antioxidants and delivers moisture that lasts a full day. Rooibos and olive leaf extracts protect your collagen and elastin from breakdown.
Good for: All skin types, especially dehydrated, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin. Plumps fine lines, improves skin texture, strengthens moisture barrier.
