Multi-Active Delivery Essence is a hydrating essence that instantly nourishes and restores skin condition, giving for 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 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 skins 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.

Directions

We do not recommend combining this product in the same regimen with Direct acids or Retinoids

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I use as a 'toner' I really enjoy this. I apply it after cleansing, on already damp skin, and I feel like it really helps maintain hydration for the next steps. Feels like it helps soften my skin. I think people forget you're ideally not meant to use any other acids with this product and that's why they're getting sensitivity and/or flaking.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Skin feels smoother and looks brighter This is a new addition to my routine, along with the niacinamide and zinc serum. Using this first as recommended and the new serums do seem to have made a difference
