WHAT IT DOES

A regenerative daily exfoliating toner that’s formulated for uneven texture, lacklustre tone and pore congestion, it gently refines texture and pores while boosting hydration, helping prevent dull surface build-up and congestion before they become more noticeable.

Enriched with Lactic Acid, Niacinamide, CytoLongevity™, Native River Mint and a Pre & Postbiotic Complex, it leaves skin clearer, brighter and ready to drink up the rest of your skincare ritual.

THE SCIENCE INSIDE

Lactic Acid
A gentle exfoliating acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells to refine texture and tone, while its natural humectant properties help skin hold onto moisture.

Fruit AHA Complex
Five fruit-derived AHAs exfoliate at different depths to refine pores, smooth texture and reveal brighter skin. 

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
A true multitasker: visibly smooths fine lines, minimises pore size while fading the look of dark spots and uneven tone.

Native River Mint
A native Australian botanical rich in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rosmarinic acid to calm reactive skin and help protect collagen.

Licorice Extract
Helps brighten uneven tone and calm visible redness.

Pre & Postbiotics Complex
Feeds beneficial bacteria, rebalancing the microbiome to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce reactivity.

CytoLongevity™
Our regenerative complex, fusing telocyte longevity biotech and neuro-peptide signal science with native Australian Tasmanian Berry Extract to to restore firmness and lift, reinforce barrier strength and soften expression lines.

A fantastic exfoliator that isn’t gritty but super smooth and glides over your skin. It instantly creates a smooth, toned surface that is the perfect base for topping with the ultra rich moisturiser.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS AN ESSENCE?

Think of an essence as your toner, but so much more advanced. While traditional toners primarily refresh and prepare the skin, our Illuminating Essence goes further, using exfoliating acids and skin-loving actives to gently encourage cell renewal, refine texture and reveal a brighter, more luminous complexion. It takes the place of your toner in your skincare ritual, applied after cleansing and before your serums and moisturiser.

IS ILLUMINATING ESSENCE SUITABLE FOR MATURE SKIN?

Absolutely. As we age, our skin's natural cell turnover slows, which can contribute to dullness, uneven texture and more visible fine lines. Illuminating Essence helps encourage the shedding of dead surface cells, making it a beautiful addition to a ritual focused on restoring radiance and improving skin texture.

CAN I USE ILLUMINATING ESSENCE EVERY DAY?

We recommend daily use, but this guidance depends on your skin's tolerance - if you're new to exfoliating acids, start gradually and monitor how your skin responds. If your skin is sensitive, avoid combining it with other exfoliating treatments in the same ritual.

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY ILLUMINATING ESSENCE IN MY SKINCARE RITUAL?

Apply Illuminating Essence after cleansing and before your serums and moisturiser.

DOES ILLUMINATING ESSENCE HELP MINIMISE THE APPEARANCE OF PORES?

Yes! Illuminating Essence acts as a daily pore refiner, using exfoliating acids to help remove dead skin cells and surface buildup that can make pores appear larger and more noticeable. With consistent use, it helps refine skin texture, minimise the appearance of pores and reveal a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
