A hydrating, conditioning essence that primes for skincare penetration.

TARGETS: Dryness, Dullness, Textural Irregularities, Dehydration

Multi-Active Delivery Essence is a hydrating essence that instantly nourishes and restores skin condition, giving softer-feeling skin. The lightweight skincare essence strengthens the skin barrier after one application and keeps skin hydrated and luminous all day.

Multi-Active Delivery Essence contains a specific combination of four active technologies, which effectively boost skin hydration to increase penetration of skincare ingredients.

When tested with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Multi-Active Delivery Essence was able to increase the penetration of niacinamide by 2 times after 1 hour vs when Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is applied alone

Part of our range of Multi-Active Solutions, the four key technologies found in Multi-Active Delivery Essence are:

• 10% Glycerin: A humectant that is widely known to help improve skin hydration and elasticity, and which can help improve the delivery of key technologies within a formulation
• 5% Propanediol: An effective penetration enhancer which can help to increase the delivery of key ingredients by supporting skin's water content, water retention and skin barrier
• Sodium Caproyl Prolinate: An amino-acid derivative which hydrates the skin to help improve the delivery of ingredients. 
• Glycogen: A polysaccharide that energizes skin. It has also been shown to help support skin hydration and essential barrier lipids for more moisturized skin.
