Essense Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum 30ml


Sale priceR 699

Dehydrated skin responds to hydration that works beyond the surface. Essense Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum helps leave your skin feeling plumper, smoother and more supple while improving the appearance of dehydration-related fine lines.

The advanced Hyaluronic Acid³ Complex combines three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration at multiple skin levels. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin's surface, while smaller molecules penetrate deeper to support long-lasting moisture retention and skin elasticity. Pro-vitamin B5 helps support the skin barrier and maintain hydration, while green Rooibos provides antioxidant protection and helps calm the skin.

The lightweight, fast-absorbing serum is suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin. It delivers immediate and long-lasting hydration without heaviness, leaving your skin looking fresh, radiant and comfortably hydrated.

Benefits
  • Hydrates at three skin depths for instant plumpness and long-term resilience
  • Smooths fine lines within days of consistent use
  • Supports your skin's own hyaluronic acid production deep in the dermis
  • Lightweight, non-comedogenic formula absorbs in seconds without greasiness
  • Soothes irritation and strengthens moisture barrier with daily application
Key Ingredients
  • Hyaluronic Acid Complex, an advanced blend of three molecular weights that work at different skin depths. High molecular weight forms a moisture seal on the surface for instant plumpness and a dewy finish. Low molecular weight penetrates mid-layers to improve texture and firmness from within. Very low molecular weight reaches the deepest layers, supporting your skin's own hyaluronic acid production and reducing fine lines over time.
  • Pro-vitamin B5, soothes irritation, hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier, ideal for sensitive or compromised skin.
  • Green Rooibos, rich in antioxidants that calm inflammation and protect against environmental stress, a signature of Annique Rooibos' five-decade Rooibos heritage.
How to use

After cleansing, press 1–2 pumps gently onto your face and neck while your skin is still damp. Use morning and evening.

Follow with your preferred Essense Treatment or Forever Young Anti-Ageing product, then apply a moisturiser suited to your skin type to help lock in hydration.

Expert Tip: Apply to slightly damp skin for best results. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture, helping it hydrate more effectively when water is already present on the skin.

AM/PM Placement: Cleanse (at night only) → Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum → Treat → Revitalise → Moisturise → SPF (AM) / Night Cream (PM)

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this serum if I have oily skin?
Yes. The lightweight formula hydrates without heaviness or greasiness and won't clog pores, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.
Do I still need to use a moisturiser after this serum?
Yes. Serum delivers active ingredients, but moisturiser seals them in and protects your skin barrier. Always follow with a cream suited to your skin type.
Will this help reduce the appearance of wrinkles?
Yes. The triple-weight hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates, visibly smoothing fine lines caused by dehydration and supporting long-term elasticity.
How quickly will I see results?
You'll notice instant plumpness and a dewy finish from the first use. With consistent application, fine lines soften and skin texture improves within days.
Can I layer this under Essense Miracle Tissue Oil?
Yes. Apply the serum first on damp skin, allow it to absorb for a moment, then press Miracle Tissue Oil over the top for intense hydration.
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum with Forever Young products?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating ingredient and can complement an anti-ageing routine. Annique Rooibos specifically describes Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum as suitable underneath Forever Young treatments.
Can I use Bo-Serum and Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum together?
Yes. They address different concerns. Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum primarily focuses on hydration while Forever Young Bo-Serum is a targeted anti-ageing treatment aimed at the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Layer according to texture with the lighter serum generally applied first.
