Korean essences: the secret to bouncy skin

The essence is the most "Korean" step of the routine: more concentrated than a toner, lighter than a serum, it hydrates and preps your skin. Many rely on ferments and probiotics. At Ma Petite Corée, you'll find essences from Laneige, Mixsoon, Haruharu Wonder, Torriden or Bio Heal Boh.

The Korean routine in 8 steps

The essence is step 5, after the toner and before the serum. In the morning, the routine ends with sunscreen.

Why Korean essences make a difference

Korean brands have made the essence a step of its own: watery textures that sink in fast, rich in ferments, probiotics or plant extracts. It helps the next products spread more easily.

Which essence for your skin type?

Dry skin loves essences with ceramides; oily skin prefers very fluid textures; sensitive skin likes probiotics and short ingredient lists; mature skin goes for peptides.

Budget pick or luxury treat

Essences from Unove or Anua are perfect to get started. For a more luxurious treat, discover our Premium K-Beauty selection.

The star ingredients

FermentsThe signature of Korean essences.
ProbioticsFor more comfortable skin.
Hyaluronic acidLight hydration.
CeramidesStrengthen the skin barrier.
Vitamin CFor glow.
PeptidesFor firmness.

Fermented rice, makgeolli or beans: Korean essences often draw on fermentation, a big part of Korean tradition.
