ESSE Oily Combination Normal Skin Trial Set
£85.50About this set:
Four products, thirty days. This set is for oily, combination or normal skin that’s ready to move beyond the Sensitive range — or for travel when you need your full routine in compact form.
The products work together to balance oil production, hydrate without heaviness, and support a healthy microbiome. No grease, no dry patches, just skin that works properly.
This also works as travel skincare. Glass bottles, compact sizing, everything you need without the bulk.
Good for:
Oily, combination or normal skin. Anyone who’s completed 30 days on the Sensitive range. Travel. Daily use.
Why this set:
If your skin is oily, combination or normal and you’ve already adjusted to ESSE (or you’re not switching from synthetic skincare), this is your starting point. The formulations are more active than the Sensitive range, targeting hydration, barrier support and microbiome balance without adding unnecessary weight.
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.
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.

Well.Actually Liposomal Vitamin C 1000mg
£21.00Yelena’s Notes
I love that it’s liquid because it reminds you to have that extra glass of water. We’re usually underhydrated and this makes hydration effortless. The flavour is mild, a bit fruity citrus with melon, much gentler compared to other liposomal brands I’ve tried. I mix mine with collagen powder every morning. I use it for antioxidant protection and skin benefits, particularly supporting collagen synthesis from the inside. Also excellent for immune support. The liposomal delivery means better absorption without the stomach upset some people get from standard vitamin C tablets.
About the Product
High-strength liquid vitamin C delivering 1000mg per serving in a liposomal delivery system for superior absorption. Vitamin C is encapsulated within millions of sunflower-derived phospholipid liposomes that protect it through digestion and deliver it directly into cells. The body recognises liposomes and rapidly transports them, ensuring efficient cellular uptake. Gentle on the stomach even at high doses. Made in the UK in a GMP and BRCGS food-approved facility. Free from alcohol, dairy, gluten, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. Natural fruit fusion flavour. One bottle provides 30 servings.
Good For
Supporting collagen production for healthy skin, joints, and connective tissue. Antioxidant protection against free radical damage. Immune system support. Post-treatment recovery after facials, peels, or microneedling. Anyone who finds standard vitamin C tablets harsh on the stomach. Pairing with marine collagen for enhanced skin support. Supporting wound healing and tissue repair.
Clinical Evidence
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage, and gums. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Clinical research published in peer-reviewed journals demonstrates that liposomal vitamin C achieves significantly higher plasma concentrations (27% higher peak levels) compared to standard vitamin C supplements, with enhanced absorption into white blood cells for improved immune support.
Why Liposomal Delivery
Standard vitamin C tablets are poorly absorbed, with most being flushed from the body before reaching cells. Liposomal technology encapsulates vitamin C in tiny phospholipid bubbles that protect it through digestion and deliver it directly into cells. This results in superior bioavailability, better cellular uptake, and reduced gastrointestinal discomfort even at high doses. The phospholipids used are derived from sunflower lecithin and are the same material that surrounds our own cells, making them highly biocompatible.
