What is the difference between serum and essence?

Many men often think that essence lotion and essence liquid are the same thing, and some women who don’t know much about skin care products will also confuse them. In fact, there is a clear distinction between essence lotion and essence liquid. Essence liquid, also known as essence, is a more high-end skin care product. It contains richer nutrients and has better effects on the skin. It can not only moisturize and whiten, but also has the effects of removing spots and anti-aging. The following is a detailed introduction to the distinction between essence lotion and essence liquid.

First, which is better, essence milk or essence lotion?

Of course, essence is better than essence lotion.

The nutrients contained in the two are different. Essence lotion only hydrates and moisturizes, while essence liquid combines hydration, moisturizing, freckle removal, anti-wrinkle and moisturizing in one. There is also a very obvious difference in price between the two. A bottle of 350ml essence lotion costs much lower than a 35ml essence liquid.

Second, which one should I use first, the essence milk or the essence lotion?

Usually, essence is used first, then essence lotion. When applying skin care products, the rule of thin first and thick later is followed. Essence is thinner than essence lotion, so applying essence first can better replenish the skin and allow the essence lotion applied later to be absorbed faster.
