Working to gently resurface while balancing skin and dispelling the dullness, Augustinus Bader’s The Essence with TFC8 preps your skin to perfection and instantly sweeps away dead surface cells to reveal smoother, softer, more luminous skin.

A toner-meets-chemical exfoliant-meets-hydrating essence, this cutting-edge formula boasts a phenomenal buffet of balancing, brightening ingredients – including the proprietary TFC8 Complex – to supplement skin’s renewal processes. With vitamins A, B, C and E alongside phytic acid to nourish and soften, this is also enriched with gluconolactone (a poly­-hydroxy acid that sloughs away debris) and pore-purging salicylic acid to combat congestion for beautifully clear – not to mention a practically poreless – complexion. Wasabi ferment and white peony flower protect from pollution, while hyaluronic acid promotes moisture levels to subtly lessen the depth of fine lines and leave skin with a ‘spring’ in its step. It’s great for preparing your skin to reap more of The Cream’s many benefits.

After cleansing, use a cotton pad to apply as desired to clean, dry skin morning and night.

Allow The Essence to penetrate the skin for a few moments before applying The Cream or The Cream Rich.
