Alternative to a Face Essence

Face essences seem to have crept into our skincare routines in the last couple of decades, and we know that they have some fans. At Nakin we do not have a face essence in our collection as we believe that other products already offer the same benefits, and we prefer a minimal face routine. If you know our natural anti-ageing face products then you will have seen that we do not have an essence in our range, however, we do have some products that you can use instead.

At Nakin all of our face cleansers, treatments and face creams offer lots of hydration, and this is the usual primary benefit of a face essence. They can sometimes offer other benefits such as cleansing and exfoliating. If you are looking for an alternative to your essence, then read on to see how our products can help.

Alternative to a Face Essence

Our closest alternative to an essence would probably be our Exfoliating Radiance Tonic which is filled with fruit AHAs to clear skin, brighten, improve discolouration, smooth, hydrate and ease lines. Or for more of a toner with have our Purifying Face Toner, which is an excellent double cleanse and toning product. Both of them have hyaluronic acid and other extracts to help with hydration.

Our face moisturisers and eye cream offer excellent natural hydration and if you are looking for something more than this then we have our Performance Face Serum and Revitalising Face Oil. They hydrate and nourish the skin deeply, with their intense and healing blend of natural ingredients.

Everything can be found here. 

We have lots of customers that have switched from other products to using Nakin’s, usually because our products are more natural and affordable. Our formulas are unique though and can feel different to other ranges, even naturally branded ones. They might feel and smell slightly differently, as we do not use synthetic fragrance or ingredients like silicones, glycols and PEGs that provide a silky cocooning very hydrating feel, but do not have any beauty benefits. Instead, we prefer to fill our products with as much skin boosting plant ingredients as possible.

A face essence is a lightweight, hydrating skincare product designed to prepare the skin with hydration and better absorption of subsequent products in your routine, such as serums and moisturisers. Originating from Korean skincare, essences are typically water-based and enriched with active ingredients that target specific skin concerns, such as dryness, dullness, or uneven texture. Applied after cleansing and toning, a face essence helps to provide a boost of hydration and nutrients, leaving the skin plump and refreshed. It serves as a bridge between cleansing and treatment, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your skincare regimen.

Nakin's face products make an excellent alternative to using a face essence due to their natural, high-performance formulations that effectively nourish and hydrate the skin. Packed with powerful botanical extracts and active ingredients, they deliver similar benefits to a face essence by improving skin texture, boosting hydration, and promoting a radiant complexion. Unlike traditional essences, Nakin’s products streamline skincare routines by combining multiple functions into easy-to-use cleansers, creams, oils, and serums. Our cruelty-free and clean beauty ethos also ensures that your skin receives the best care without the inclusion of unnecessary additives.
