AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Hydro Essence with Hydrating Amino Acids for Face | Lightweight Formula, Deep Hydration, Suitable for Dry & Sensitive Skin, Non-Comedogenic, 100ML / 3.38 fl. oz.

omg, I LOVE this essence. It’s already a staple & subscription and I’m still finishing my first bottle. I have mature, naturally dry, “low oil” skin and struggle to keep the “scaffolding” / upper dermis layer of my skin hydrated and strong. This essence gives me deeper hydration than I’m able to get from most toners and helps me prep, smooth, soften, and ignite the rest of my products to max benefit as well. I put in cupped fingers, rub hands and apply it to face and neck - can even use a second layer on top after it dries and it still soaks in and moisturizes like a dream. It layers amazingly with everything. I can’t speak to how it handles on oily or combo skin, but for my skin, it is so nourishing and soothing and leaves my skin in better condition than most other toners / essence I’ve used, and I’ve tried SO many - expensive and less expensive, from various k beauty and other brands - milky / watery - you name it, many of them are also excellent and I still rotate through them for flooding, misting, devices, etc., but this essence is one of my holy grail staples. I use twice a day with the cream mist and ma:nyo panthetoin toner which has helped restore and maintain my tricky & reactive skin, keeps it nourished and baby soft, and allows me to use actives and devices without upper dermal “collapse” or TEWL. Most peeps won’t need the extra layers of hydration I’ve described - my skin is just weird - but this product def stands on its own as well. I stockpiled this on Black Friday, along with the atobarrier cream and cream mist. I’m an aestura believer now - this brand is so good and the lipids / hydration balance is perfection. If you’re considering it, just try it. I can’t imagine being without it now.

my skin barrier was wrecked by tretinoin and everything hurt to the point where it burns when i touched my face. it itched and tingled until 2 days of this essence and nothing else it fixed my face. i am no long itchy and my face is not angry any more. i suffer from oily t zones but dehydrated skin and dry cheeks so combo skin thats very sensitive, this has been my one and only product i use other than vanicream cleanser. i am scared to put other products on my face and i swear by this now.

this stuff is amazing and very hydrating. It is quite thick though for a toner- more like a watery moisturizer but it does the job.

I've been using this product in conjunction with their moisturizer, and it's done wonders for my face. I have very oily skin and using this has helped to reduce excess oil a lot. Great product when used together with their moisturizer.

Fantastic cream, true 3:1:1 ratio

My face is perfect

I love putting this down before I do an exfoliation with a chemical toner. Helps create a nice cushion layer so it doesn’t break your barrier.. very calming has the necessary ratio of fats lipids and ceramides

I use this after toner and before moisturizer and it really seems to boost skin hydration. I have dry skin so I use a heavier cream moisturizer. This makes it go on smoothly and creates a perfect base for makeup.
