Moisture Replenishing Essence is a lightweight, fast-absorbing hydrating essence for sensitive, acne-prone skin. It is designed to restore water balance after cleansing and create a calm, supportive foundation for acne-healing routines.
When skin is dehydrated or stressed, it often becomes more reactive — making breakouts harder to heal and treatments harder to tolerate. This essence focuses on replenishing hydration without heaviness, stickiness, or irritation, helping skin feel comfortable and supported before serums and treatments are applied.
This essence is ideal for skin that:
Especially helpful for those healing acne while rebuilding their skin barrier.
With consistent use, Moisture Replenishing Essence may help:
Hydration support is foundational and works best as part of a consistent routine.
Acne-prone skin is often mistakenly treated as if it doesn’t need hydration.
In reality, dehydrated skin can overcompensate, leading to increased oil imbalance, irritation, and slower healing. Proper hydration helps the skin barrier function more effectively — which can make acne treatments easier to tolerate and breakouts less reactive over time.
This essence supports hydration without occlusion, allowing acne-prone skin to breathe while staying balanced.

"Love love love this essence! It's so hydrating without being tacky. Not fond of mists and essences/toners that leave my skin tacky—can't stand that—and this one doesn't do that at all. It sinks in perfectly and leaves skin feeling so hydrated." - Melinda @fortheloveofskincare

This essence was created to solve a common but overlooked problem: acne-prone skin that can’t heal properly because it’s chronically dehydrated. When skin feels supported and comfortable, everything else in your routine works better — and healing becomes easier.

I love the sensation of a mist or an essence, but haven’t found any product that really made a difference in my skin… until this. I’m amazed how soothed and hydrated my skin is after just one or two pumps of this… it is truly weightless on my oily skin, yet tones down redness considerably. I find I can use less serum and moisturizer after this. I need to purchase backups of this. It really makes a difference in my skin and, like another reviewer observed, takes the sting out of tretinoin. I appreciate that there is practically no scent. My sensitive skin loves this!
This has really helped to keep my skin soft and with a glow. I use less face moisturizer because my skin is more hydrated.
It’s my second time purchasing this and I love it!
I enjoy using this in my routine. It layers nicely with other products. Happy with my purchase. I think the amount in the bottle is wonderful. It will last a while.
I love this essence! Very gentle, soothing, hydrating. I use it every day. It works very well with all my other products, very easy to layer. My skin is quite happy every time I apply it!
