What It Is

A breakthrough 3-in-1 formula that combines the properties of a mild chemical exfoliant, a toner and an essence to reveal smoother, softer and more hydrated skin.

  • Key Ingredients

    - TFC8®: A complex of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin, which guides key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin, creating an optimal environment for the body's innate processes of repair and renewal.
    - Phytic Acid: This 100% natural exfoliator derived from rice yields gentle keratolytic effects and helps cell turnover. It promotes a healthy skin by removing dead skin that clog the skin to reveal a radiant skin with increased collagen production. Fine lines are softened and skin appears smoother with an even-toned glowing complexion.
    - Salicylic Acid: A BHA with keratolytic properties used to treat skin imperfections.
    - Gluconolactone: A PHA that gently lifts off dead skin from the skin surface.
    - Hyaluronic Acid: A polysaccharide found naturally in skin that holds water and helps keep it hydrated and plump.
    - Wasabi Ferment: An antimicrobial antioxidant that helps protect DNA against damage caused by free radicals.
    - White Peony Flower: A flower extract known for its soothing and pollution-protecting properties.

  • How To Use It

    Pat into cleansed, dry skin with your fingers or use a cotton pad to sweep over the face, neck and décolleté.

Longtime user

Always go back to this essence. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and adds a nice layer of hydration before applying cream

Other than allergies, I don't feel any benefits.

Other than allergies, I don't feel any benefits. But because I chose the subscription purchase, I can't cancel until I've made at least three purchases. I am furious about this policy.

Life changing

My skin has never felt so balanced. This product is a staple for me. It keeps my skin smooth and has overall improved it. I searched so long for quality affordable products and this is it. The product goes a long way and is worth every penny.

Luxurious branding, average results

I’ve never purchased from Augustinus Bader myself, but I’ve received quite a few of their products over the years, including The Essence. After testing it thoroughly, my verdict is: it’s fine — but not remarkable. It’s a decent product in terms of texture and absorption, and it didn’t cause any irritation. But for the premium price tag, I expected more noticeable results. Honestly, there are better-performing essences out there for less. If you’re drawn to the brand’s luxury image or just curious, it’s worth sampling. But as part of a serious skincare routine, I wouldn’t prioritize it.

Solid toner

I have been using this toner for the past few days, and although I can’t say I see any visible changes yet, it’s pleasant to use, and right after application, my skin looks nice and radiant—even without any makeup. Not sure if I buy a full size version because of the price point.

Lovely! So happy it's travel size

This has become a travel essential for me. It's hard to find a comparable product that does so much. Leaving my skin feeling fresh and hydrated without the feeling of tightness and striping that other similar products have.

The best!

I love this essence. I have tried other less expensive essences, but I always go back to this one. While others absorb too quickly and leave my skin feeling dry, AB Essence leaves my skin feeling hydrated. It is definitely worth the price!
