1. Ingredients and efficacy: essence water usually contains higher concentrations of active ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, plant essence, etc., aiming at specific skin problems, such as anti-aging, brightening skin tone, etc. The main function of moisturizing water is to provide basic hydration and help the skin maintain moisture balance.
2. Usage sequence and effect: In the skincare process, moisturizing water is often used as the first step to lay a foundation for subsequent skincare products and help the skin better absorb subsequent nutrients. Essence water is more likely to be used after moisturizing water for further nourishment and strengthening.
3. Whether it can be replaced: Although essence water also contains certain moisturizing ingredients, its main purpose is not pure moisturizing. If the skin only needs basic moisturizing, especially dry skin, essence water may not be enough to meet the moisturizing needs of the whole day. Essence water cannot completely replace moisturizing water, especially in dry environments or for skin types that need special moisturizing. It is recommended to combine the two according to individual skin type and needs to achieve the best skincare effect.
