The difference between essence and cream. Which one should be used first?

Essence and facial cream are used in our daily skin care. These two products can effectively protect our skin's moisture. So what is the difference between essence and facial cream? Let’s take a look together below.

The difference between essence lotion and cream

The two are different in efficacy and texture. Essence lotion is a more powerful skin care product. It is more effective than toner and cream in a single function, but cream focuses more on moisturizing function. Secondly, in terms of texture, essence lotion has the texture of lotion, which is lighter than face cream, so face cream is thicker and has better moisturizing performance, suitable for dry skin and skin types that need moisturizing.

The order of essence and cream

Use serum before face cream.

Many people don’t know much about the steps of using skin care products. When using skin care products, we can first remember a general order, that is, "water, lotion, and cream". Water is toner, or skin care water. It is used in the first step after cleansing to replenish moisture for our skin in time. After the water is the essence lotion. The essence lotion is used in the middle position, like a catheter, to help the toner used in front to better enter the skin, and to help the facial cream used later to be better absorbed. After the essence lotion is the facial cream, which is the last step in the skin care steps.

Essence lotion recommendation

1. Shiseido Radiance Serum

If your skin problems keep recurring, your skin becomes increasingly unstable, always red, sensitive, and acne-prone, the effects of skin care products will become slower and slower, and the absorption effect will decrease. Looks tired, dull and lifeless ~ If you have any of the above, what do you think? This serum will suit you.

2. Lancome's upgraded version of the skin rejuvenation double essence

This double essence is designed for seasonal and sensitive skin. The "fresh" activated ingredients can penetrate deep into the skin's base, calm the skin, fight inflammation, and reduce signs of skin aging. I heard it’s even better than our own “Little Black Bottle”!

3. SKII Skin Repair Essence

The famous anti-aging essence—the little red bottle! With a large capacity of 75ml, Jiyuan is a preliminary anti-aging essence, which is highly praised by teacher Kevin and socialites Yang Xin and Chen Yi. Age is not the problem, muscle age is the key. The front line against early aging - enlarged pores are a warning sign.
