Activating Water Essence Reviews

I got this Jurlique essence as part of the recent Beautorium. I had previously used a sample of it and liked it, although the sample didn’t have a strong scent. As soon as I used the essence from the full sized bottle, the herbal smell just hit me. It’s very strong smelling! I can’t say I’m a big fan of herbal scents. I can tolerate this scent and luckily it does not linger.

I have used other essences before (Japanese and korean branded ones) and I noticed that the Jurlique one is slightly less “watery” than the Asian essences. It is very easy to apply though. I just place a few drops on my palm and Pat it all over my face. It feels nice and cooling. It then makes serums and moisturizer easy to apply afterwards.

I started using this essence during winter, when my skin became very dry. I haven’t had issues with dryness since using this essence and I’ve been happy with it.

I have been using the activating water essence as part of my daily skin care regime for the last 12 months. After I exfoliate and cleanse my face I apply the activating water essence before apply a serum and cream. It will leave your skin feel refreshed, healthy and hydrated.

It is important to know that this product should be used in conjunction with other juridical health products to get the full effect. After applying it make my skins feels rehydrated and cool.

I know Jurilque is not a cheap product so use the recommend size guide and this product will last you for months.

Jurilque is my holy gail for skin care products.

This has a gorgeous smell and I love every time my therapist uses it during a Jurlique facial. It feels lovely on the skin and is beautiful like all Jurlique products. While I enjoy using samples of it, I wouldn’t buy it. It’s expensive and seems more a nice to have product rather than an essential in my skincare routine.

My skin is dry and I use this to add more moisture to it, I apply it after using toner and follow the instructions by patting it into my skin. As the name suggests it has the consistency of water and is easy to apply. Serum and moisturiser are applied afterwards.

It has made my skin look more supple and fresh. I love that it's a way to add more moisture to my skin when used alongside regular skincare products. It does'nt irritate my skin at all and contains natural ingredients.

It 's a extra step that adds a little bit more time to my skincare routine but I definitely it's believe it's worth it.

I was lucky enough to receive a sample of the Activating Water Essence, when I bought some other Jurlique products. The Essence absorbs easily and quickly into my skin. As with most Jurlique products there is an essential oil smell, pleasant. As told to me by the Jurlique consultant the water essence is to be used after cleansing and before a serum. My skin feels like it has had a big drink after using.

Jurlique Activating Water Essence is housed in a sturdy transparent bottle. The product has a soft botanical scent. When the bottle is sitting on a flat surface, you can see a light layer of bubbly gel-like liquid on the top. Activating Water Essence is to be used after your cleanser and toner, and before your serum and/or moisturiser. The product’s star ingredient is marshmallow root which has the ability to attract and retain water. It has balancing, softening and calming benefits.

When I first started using Activating Water Essence, I wanted to test its benefits (if any) on my dry, mature and possibly dehydrated skin. I did this by applying the essence on freshly cleansed bare skin each night for a week, and not applying a serum or moisturiser afterwards. The essence seemed to absorb into my skin, but my skin did not feel softer after application. I then introduced the essence into my nightly skin care routine by applying it before a serum or moisturiser.

The only time that I saw a noticeable benefit of using Activating Water Essence was when I was having difficulty with an anti-ageing moisturiser and two serums from another brand that were not absorbing into my skin (they were pilling with a significant amount of residue). After applying the essence, and then the moisturiser or serums, the products absorbed more easily, but not completely.

After I had used up three-quarters of the bottle of Activating Water Essence, I used it as a traditional toner.

I am undecided if I need Activating Water Essence or any other type of essence in my skin care routine. I could be tempted to buy this product again if it was part of a gift with purchase offer. This is because Activating Water Essence felt lovely to use and I love marshmallow root as an ingredient in skin care.

I was lucky to have won a bottle of the Jurlique Activating Water Essence otherwise it’s not something I would have purchased.

After cleansing and toning my skin, I poured a few drops of the essence onto the palms of my hands and gently patted the lotion into my skin. It’s a watery consistency and has botanical fragrance, which is quite pleasant. I then continued with my usual skin care routine of eye cream, serum and moisturiser.

The essence absorbs very easily and is non sticky. At first I thought that the essence wasn’t really doing anything, but now when I think of it, my skin has been looking quite healthy, well hydrated and plump. Usually in summer, my skin can get a bit dehydrated due to air conditioning but I think for a 48 year old, my skin is in pretty good condition, it looks bright and revitalized. I’ve been using the essence for about 3-4 months and I’ve still got a quarter of a bottle left, so it’s pretty economical.

I think it’s a product that I would repurchase if I notice a decline in my complexion after I’ve stopped using it. I found it easy to incorporate into my exiting skin care routine.

It took me a while to understand the difference between a toner and an essence. In simpler words, toner helps to balance pH of the skin after cleansing, while essence have no effect on pH but has all the extra nutrients and benefits for the skin.

You can certainly feel that the Jurlique essance holds more nutrients than their toner or facial mist. The liquid essance feels heavier and richer that the facial mist. It comes in a beautiful glass bottle. After application, the essance is quickly absorbed into the skin with a few quick pats on the face. Pleasantly, it does not leave a sticky feeling on the skin.

The face certainly feels more hydrated after use. I am using it to replace my regular toner now since i use very gentle facial cleanser that shouldn't affect my skin's pH too much.

I love this product. I use it after cleansing/exfoliating and before i apply moisturizer and serum. I normally dont use a toner as I it dries out my skin however this activating water is very hydrating. I apply a small amount on my hands and then pat onto my face; leave it a moment before applying serum. The product smells amazing and fresh; very natural smelling. After applying my face feels fresh and looks a lot brighter and more radiant.
