Yelena’s note: My team and clients with drier skin love this product. It’s also the one we reach for when the heating’s on all winter or when air conditioning is stripping moisture out. It nourishes and protects, reducing transepidermal water loss. Like all ESSE formulations, it’s packed with antioxidants and a lipid blend of jojoba, coconut and marula that actually matches what dry skin needs.
About the product: A rich, luxurious moisturiser with probiotic extracts to support your skin’s microbiome. Marula oil and olive leaf extract nourish and improve elasticity while offering antioxidant protection. The texture is rich without being heavy, absorbing well and leaving skin comforted rather than greasy. Formulated with probiotics and prebiotics to strengthen barrier function and lock in moisture.
Good for: Dry and very dry skin types. Ideal for dry climates, winter months, or environments with central heating or air conditioning.

Alteya Organic Bulgarian Rose Water
£14.00Yelena’s note: This is the rose water we use in every single treatment at the Studio and the one I reach for twice a day at home. I call it our “famous morning cleanse”. When I skip the actual cleanser in the morning, I mist this generously over my face, wipe away any dust or excess sebum with a cotton pad, then mist again before applying my skincare. It works beautifully in the evening too, after double cleansing, to reset and prepare the skin. Throughout the day when your skin needs a pick-me-up — mist it. At the end of a treatment when we want to gently wake a client, we reach for this. The aroma is stunning, the quality is unmatched, and the ingredient list is as pure as it gets: just Rosa Damascena flower water.
About the product: Steam distilled from hand-picked organic Rosa Damascena petals grown in the Bulgarian Rose Valley, this is therapeutic and food grade rose water. The distillation process preserves the full bio-dynamic energy of the rose, resulting in one of the most concentrated, aromatic and effective rose waters available. It tones, hydrates, soothes and balances all skin types. Can be used as a gentle cleanser, toner, hydrating mist, treatment prep, post-cleanse refresher or throughout the day whenever skin needs reviving. Certified organic by USDA. 100% pure. 100% natural.
Good for: All skin types including sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone and post-treatment skin. Suitable as a gentle morning cleanser, toner, hydrating mist, makeup setting spray or treatment prep. Safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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 Pre-Care Oil
£70.00Yelena’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.

ESSE Sensitive Skin Trial Set
£110.00About this set:
Four products, thirty days. This is where we recommend everyone starts with ESSE — regardless of your skin type.
When you switch skincare, your skin goes through an adjustment period. Your microbiome rebalances, your barrier recalibrates, and sometimes breakouts happen as pores adjust to new formulations. The Sensitive range is designed to manage that transition gently. After 30 days, your skin is ready for more targeted formulations if you need them.
This also works as travel skincare. Glass bottles, compact sizing, everything you need without the bulk.
Good for:
First-time ESSE users. Sensitive or reactive skin. Travel. Anyone resetting their routine or managing a transition period.
Why start here:
When you switch skincare, especially from mainstream to organic and natural, your skin goes through an adjustment period. Your microbiome rebalances, your barrier recalibrates, and sometimes breakouts happen as pores adjust to new formulations. The Sensitive range is designed to manage that transition gently. After 30 days, your skin is ready for more targeted formulations if you need them.
