What is the difference between oil-replenishing essence and hydrating essence? 2 basic essences PK

Essence is a concentrated skin care product that highly condenses skin care ingredients, making them purer and more effective. Using essence can save you a lot of effort in skin care and is a necessity for long-term skin care. Now, the editor of No. 5 website will show you the difference between oil-replenishing essence and hydrating essence.

1. Oil-replenishing essence: The oil content of oil-replenishing moisturizing essence is much higher than that of ordinary moisturizing essence. It is usually oil or lotion and is suitable for dry skin. Oil-replenishing moisturizing essence is generally highly fat-soluble and can be absorbed on the surface of the skin. It can increase cell vitality, promote cell regeneration, and rebuild the skin's own moisturizing ability. Sometimes the skin is dry not because of lack of water, but lack of oil. When the stratum corneum is damaged and the skin loses its protective barrier, the moisturizing ability will be greatly reduced. Even if the water is temporarily replenished, the stratum corneum does not have the ability to lock in water, and it will soon cause water loss. In this case, to repair the stratum corneum, it is more important to replenish oil than to replenish water.

2. Hydrating essence: The hydrating essence molecules are much smaller than other complex ingredients, can penetrate deep into the skin, and are the best absorbed. Hydrating is the basic requirement for skin care for all skin types, and hydrating is enough for oily skin. Hydrating moisturizing essences often have simple ingredients, mostly natural plant extracts, and are also suitable for sensitive skin. The premise of moisturizing is that the skin already has sufficient moisture, so hydrating is a more basic step. The normal moisture content of the stratum corneum of the skin is 15-25%. Such skin is not only soft and smooth without fine lines, but also full of elasticity; when the moisture content of the stratum corneum is less than 10%, the skin will become dry, fine lines, tight, rough and flaky.

Oil-replenishing essence and hydrating essence have different effects, methods, and applicable occasions, and are suitable for different groups of people. Therefore, when choosing between oil-replenishing essence and hydrating essence, you should start from your personal reality and choose the one that suits you best.

Oil-replenishing essence is a versatile and practical nourishing skin care product. It can be used alone, or it can replace the step of moisturizing essence, or it can be used as a strengthening care in addition to moisturizing essence. Younger skin or combination skin may not be used to the feeling of use when they first come into contact with oil-replenishing essence care. At this time, you can mix the oil-replenishing essence with the moisturizing essence to make the texture more moisturized and refreshing when using it. Massage from the inside out and from the bottom up until it is absorbed!

Hydrating essence: Hydrating essence has a light texture and limited moisturizing effect. It needs to be used with facial cream. It is more suitable for use in spring and summer.
