Ingredients

Super Green Tea liposomes, Green Tea Ceramide, and 9 types of hyaluronic acid deliver quick hydration and barrier support.

Milky essences are valuable because they deliver more cushion than a watery toner without crossing into heavy cream territory. This formula uses Super Green Tea liposomes for quick, even hydration, while Green Tea Ceramide helps reinforce the barrier so moisture stays in the skin longer. Nine forms of hyaluronic acid expand that effect by attracting water at different levels of the surface, which is why the complexion can look plumper and less flaky within a short time.

The non-sticky finish is part of the product logic too. Skin prep works best when hydrating layers sit comfortably under the rest of the routine, especially when stronger actives like retinol are involved. By smoothing rough texture and adding flexible moisture, the essence helps skin tolerate follow-up steps more easily while still looking glowy rather than greasy. In practical terms, it is best positioned as a barrier-supporting daily prep essence for dehydrated, breakout-prone, or sensitized skin that wants fast comfort and a glassier finish.
