Essence vs. Toner: What’s The Difference?
They may seem the same but they work in very different ways.
How to Use An Essence (CellLift Lotion)
As the first step in your hydration routine, an essence preps your skin for your skincare routine.
CellLift Lotion is a radiance-boosting cellular essence that firms, and energizes the skin, boosting radiance while reducing the appearance of redness and fatigue. Simply pat it into skin with your hands after toning and before applying your moisturizer and serum.

How to Use Toner (Active Tonic)
Applied after cleansing, a toner completes your cleansing by removing dirt, oil and excess makeup as it rebalances the skin’s pH, preparing it for the rest of your regimen.
Active Tonic is enriched with gentle Micro-Exfoliating Complex and Rose Extract so your skin experiences a gentle exfoliation and a splash of refreshing hydration.
Do You Need Both an Essence and a Toner?
The two products aren’t the same and won’t satisfy all your skin’s needs by using one or the other. To reap every benefit, you’ll want to consider using both in the right order.
- Step 1: After cleansing, apply a toner like Active Tonic to balance and rid skin of excess dirt and impurities.
- Step 2: Before you apply your moisturizer or hydration routine (like serums), apply CellLift Lotion (essence) to rehydrate and treat your skin.
