Smoother texture, more even tone and lasting moisture.

Your skin feels thirsty soon after cleansing, and its texture and tone are less even than you would like.

The First Essence gives skin a light wash of moisture after cleansing, so it feels softer and looks smoother and more even. It is 97% Desert Cica Yeast Ferment, made with MISSHA's own three step fermentation, with niacinamide for a more even tone and ceramide NP to help skin hold on to water. Everything you apply after it sits well on top.

Who It Is For

All skin types, especially skin that feels dry or tight after cleansing, and anyone who wants smoother texture and a more even tone.

Acne Safe

What You Will See, and When

Skin feels softer and more hydrated right away. MISSHA reports improvements in skin tone, texture and moisture within 14 days in its own clinical testing.

How to Use

Use it morning and night. After cleansing, HyaCyn goes on first and dries fully, then Plated; once those have dried, pour a few drops of the essence into your palms and press it into your face, or sweep it on with a cotton pad. Follow with your other serums and moisturizer, and in the morning, sunscreen goes on last.

The Science

Yeast ferments are made by letting yeast break down a growth medium, then filtering what is left. The filtrate carries small molecules such as amino acids, sugars and organic acids, several of which act as humectants, drawing water into the outer layer of skin.

Niacinamide is vitamin B3. In a 12 week randomized, double blind split face study, 5% topical niacinamide visibly reduced dark spots, red blotchiness and fine lines compared with its base cream. Ceramides are among the lipids that seal the spaces between surface cells and slow water loss.

Questions

Where does it go in my routine?After cleansing, and after HyaCyn and Plated if you use them. Then your other serums and moisturizer.
Hands or cotton pad?Either. Pressing it in with your palms uses less product; a pad gives a light sweep over the skin.
What does it feel like?A watery essence that absorbs in seconds without any stickiness.

Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

  • Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
  • Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
  • Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
  • Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
  • Your goals: what you most want to change
  • Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
  • Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
  • Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
