Hydrating Dynamic Facial Essence Reviews

So it took me too long to realise that essentially this set is a fancy cleanser, toner, moisturiser trio.. and I haven't stuck to a regime like this since my acne days and I bought the clean and clear set from the local grocery store back when I was 13.
After using this, I can honestly say.. wow! We have advanced people! and so have the names that go with it..
So this facial essence feels like water, but with the added benefits of nutrients for your skin. So it's like super water!
I feel like this is something I would want to bathe in if I were to get sunburnt. It had a strange cooling effect and once again looked great on my bathroom bench. This packaging was designed with the intent to leave it out, even when you have guests over! (this is no *insert general grocery brand that's probably not benefiting my skin here*).

I don't know much about skin but I have used Jajoba in the past and saw that this was an ingredient so, that makes me confident that what is in this is affective and good for my skin. This is the same for hyaluronic acid. Not entirely sure exactly what it does, but I have heard that word being used more and more and did like the effects of the product on my skin so massive thumbs up from me.

As someone who always uses a toner, I really loved this essence and was pleased with the consistency, which was watery how I like my toners . Firstly it comes in a huge bottle, so I'm not worried about running out of it any time soon. Instead of the usual spray pack, you just undo the lid however and are supposed to apply it by tipping into the palm of your hand. It says to give the bottle a bit of a shake to wake up the superstar ingredients, then tip a few drops into the palm of your hand, pressing the lotion gently into your skin until it absorbs. However I found this method more wasteful then simply applying it with a cotton pad as I normally do with my toners. I have really long nails and because of the watery consistency, it ended up going everywhere but my face, so I opted to soak a cotton pad in it and press into my skin instead and go over it as usual.

It has a very light pleasant natural scent, and fast absorbed into skin. My skin felt refreshed and hydrated after use, though it was as lightweight as my regular toner. It left my oily skin clean, yet soft and smooth, and ready for the next step. My skin sometimes gets so oily that I skip moisturisers altogether, so for me some days this would be perfect with just a light serum over the top or even nothing at all. I was really impressed with the ingredients which also left my skin feeling nice and plump and naturally glowy. I loved to keep it in the fridge to just use to cool and refresh my skin on no makeup days too, especially now in the warmer weather.

Great for oily skin in need of extra hydration! I will definitely continue to use this instead of my usual toner.

I really really LOVED this product. I have never used such an amazing toner before! It not only toned my skin but also took off any last remaining make up/dirt that was left on my face! (Make up that I thought I originally took off before!!). I used this toner morning and night when I was first given it! I also took it travelling and used it before and after flights which allowed my skin to feel like it could breathe better whilst being refreshed.
The scent was light and fresh and not at all overbearing. Nothing worse than overly perfumed products on sensitive skin, but this product was truly just right. I really loved this essence and will definitely continue using it.

Pros:
Great packaging - looks high end
Great smell and texture of product
Hydrating and refreshing - definitely a nice end of the day to perk your skin up or in the morning to start your day.

Cons:
I'm not really sure how I would incorporate this into my skin care routine normally.
I like getting my hyloronic acid and hydration from either a serum in the morning or a night time moisturiser. It's probably not a product i'd continue using in my skin care routine as i'd probably use a serum then the "Hydrating Quenching Aqua Cream" as a finisher.

I don't think it's a bad product but it's probably not something that I need in my routine for acne prone skin.
If you have a need for extra hydration and hydration in every step then it would probably be great for you.
Also I imagine if you fly/travel a lot this would be a nice refreshing step!

I got to trial the Hydrating Dynamic Facial Essence along with the Aqua Cream and Cleansing Souffle. The packaging of this range is a lux looking sliver-blue shiny bottle with a white lid.

This product had a soft refreshing scent which was just right. It took me a little bit to understand what this product was, I don't normally use a toner daily so was open to trying it out.

I tried this product as directed using my hands to apply and tap on my skin and with a cotton pad. I prefer to use my hands to minimise waste and felt a little more relaxing!

Overall I have noticed a more hydrated glow with my skin after using this along with the cleansing souffle and aqua cream of the same range. I generally try to keep my morning routine as quick as possible so fitting this in in the mornings was tricky but was a nice addition to my night routine!

This hydrating essence is literally the best toner I’ve ever used!
First of all it’s packed with super hydrating ingredients such as native Australian Flannel Flower, probiotics, hyaluronic acid, jojoba, desert lime and bilberry.

Second, I love the ease of use: simply give a gentle shake to activate the ingredients then pour a few drops into palm and press onto cleansed skin. It’s quickly absorbed so you can apply your serum or moisturiser immediately after.

I noticed it really refreshed my skin without drying it out in the slightest. As my skin is dehydrated I would usually skip the toner stage and go straight to a serum but I love how this essence prepares my skin for the next product. I would even say I use less serum as my skin has an extra “layer” of hydration and therefore I can apply it more sparingly.

Also the packaging is high end and looks like a product you would purchase from a specialised spa or clinic. At it's very reasonable RRP I would purchase again and also as a gift.

Just like my other reviews on this line can we talk about the packaging? Apart from the products being amazing, how aesthetically pleasing is the packaging!!! This essence (which to be honest at first I didn’t even know was a toner) has the most lovely scent, and it isn’t too overbearing or gives you a headache with is the biggest upside to me. I love great smelling products but sometimes its too artificial or too strong and honestly hurts your head during the duration of your time wearing it, but this isn’t the case with this product!
I personally use this product on a cotton pad and spread over my face that way. I also layer this product amongst other products and other products by the same brand and they all mesh perfectly.
The skincare products in this line also didn’t mess with my makeup routine or crust underneath which is a huge upside aswell.
I noticed after using this product for a white that it hydrated more and wasn’t as oily as usual.

This is a very watery essence (as are most) that claims to add hydration.
I have quite sensitive dry skin, so upon applying this product my skin absorbed it immediately. I do prefer to pat it in with the palms of my hands, as I already use an actual toner in the step before applying the essence.

I didnt find it added a whole lot of hydration, or anything really. But like i said, my skin is extremely dry so those with combination skin might find it works better for them. it doesn't leave any residue or anything and pairs well not only with the matching moisturiser, but other skincare products as well.
I do appreciate and love adding an extra step in my routine, and this had no negative effects on my skin so i will continue to use it.

It has a light botanical scent with doesn't linger and the packaging is absolutely divine ; simple, yet looks beautiful on the vanity. I do appreciate the plastic bottles, which are great for travelling or clumsy people like myself!

First of all I loved the packaging. It looked great and classy. The fragrance is not over powering its light and refreshing. I always put my toners in my mini fridge because I love how refreshing a chilled toner makes my skin feel. I used this as directed and gently patted it on my skin. It absorbed very well, it wasn’t greasy or heavy on my skin. It gave my skin a nice refreshing boost and a great moisture boost. My skin gets really dull during winter and this along with the cleanser and the aqua cream helped my skin get back to normal. I think I will be using these three products next winter to help my skin stay hydrated through really bad winter months. Using these three products helped my skin from peeling off and stay soft and well hydrated. I highly recommend this product to anyone with dry skin.
