Revitalizing All-in-One Essence Light

We offer three versions of our Essence based on skin type. While all three provide antioxidant protection, the moisture levels differ:

• Revitalizing All-in-One Essence for Dry Skin: Best for dry to very dry skin. It is a rich, creamy essence.
• Revitalizing All-in-One Essence Light (This one): Best for combination or normal skin. It is a lightweight lotion. Good for dry skin during summer time.
• Revitalizing All-in-One Essence Oil-Free: Best for oily or acne-prone skin. It is a weightless, oil-free version. Good as a hydrating serum as well underneath other versions.

Focus: Fast Absorption & Balanced Hydration

Weightless Anti-Aging: Provides the same powerful smoothing effects for wrinkles and fine lines but in a lighter, faster-absorbing texture that won’t feel heavy.
Environmental Shield: Uses Emblica to provide daily antioxidant protection against urban pollution and damage.
Hydration Balance: Ideal for those who want the power of a serum and moisturizer without the shine. It keeps skin hydrated and plump with a refreshed finish.

They work as a team. Vitamin C Serum (20% L-ascorbic acid) is a clinical-strength treatment for deep hyperpigment and wrinkles. The Essence uses Emblica® for surface-level protection and deep hydration. Using them together gives you faster, more visible results. When Emblica® neutralizes a free radical, it doesn't stop working; it transforms into a new antioxidant, which then transforms into another, creating a chain reaction of protection. This makes it stay active on the skin for a much longer period.

For best results, use a dime-to-quarter-sized amount and apply evenly to the face both morning and night.

• 50g Bottle: Typically lasts 2 to 3 months.
• 100g Bottle: Typically lasts 4 to 6 months.

Apply your Vitamin C Serum first to a clean face. Let it absorb for a moment, then apply the All-in-One Essence on top. The Essence locks in the serum and provides the essential moisture that the oil-free serum doesn't have. More importantly, the Emblica® in the Essence offers prolonged and doubled antioxidant protection; while pure Vitamin C starts working immediately, Emblica® stays active long after, carrying on the defense when other antioxidants are used up. When Emblica® neutralizes a free radical, it doesn't stop working; it transforms into a new antioxidant, which then transforms into another, creating a chain reaction of protection. This makes it stay active on the skin for a much longer period.

• Moisturizer: Generally, no. It is an "All-in-One" product. However, if your skin is extremely dry or it is winter, you can add our Add-on Cream on top.
• SPF: Yes. You must always follow with an SPF in the morning. The Essence protects against pollution, but it does not block UV rays.

All DrLOUIE products are safe for people with sensitive skin to use.

However, we use highly functional active ingredients. This means that you’ll see results, but if you are allergic, then you may react to certain ingredients.

That is why we strongly recommend you do a patch test before using it on your face so that you’ll know whether you are allergic or react to certain ingredients in our products.

Yes. Because it is Dermatest® excellent rated and free from toxic chemicals, it is gentle enough for the delicate eyelid area to help with hydration and fine lines.

Yes. Our Essence is safe for use during pregnancy and while nursing. However, skin can become more sensitive during this time, so we recommend doing a patch test before full use to ensure compatibility. As always, consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

The Self-Preservation System is a patented formulation approach developed by Dr. Louie Kim to help maintain product stability and hygiene without relying on traditional preservative systems. It works through formulation design and ingredient synergy that create conditions less favourable for microbial growth, alongside controlled manufacturing and packaging practices. Products using this system are still assessed for safety and stability in accordance with applicable cosmetic regulations; the system describes the preservation approach rather than replacing required safety testing.
