Improved moisture on the skin will be felt immediately upon application. Other results will vary based on individual skin concerns (acne, rough texture, sensitivity, etc.).

In our clinical study, immediately upon application:
 • 100% of all participants agreed skin looks and feels more plump
 • 95% of participants with sensitive skin felt itchiness was relieved and skin felt more comfortable upon application
 • 92% of participants agreed skin felt firmer, and rough, dry skin was smoothed
 • 90% of participants agreed the appearance of pores was smoothed or minimized

After 4 weeks of use, 92% agreed their skin was more hydrated, felt smoother, healthier, and more nourished.

Is Essential Moisturizer polyethylene glycol (PEG) free?

Yes, Essential Moisturizer is PEG free. All Colorescience® products are 100% free from parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, animal testing, talc, dyes, mineral oils, drying alcohols & chemical sunscreen.

Can I use Essential Moisturizer on other areas of my body besides my face?

Yes, Essential Moisturizer can be used wherever you would like to improve moisturization, hydration, and skin barrier health. Keep out of eyes, nose, and mouth.

What is the scent of Essential Moisturizer?

Essential Moisturizer was formulated to be fragrance free, meaning no added natural or synthetic fragrances were added. Therefore, any scent noted is inherently part of the raw materials, specifically the lactobacillus ferment and hydrolyzed pea protein. Most users note that this “base” scent dissipates upon application. This product has been tested for safety, stability and efficacy and is safe for use on the skin. For external use only -- keep out of eyes, nose and mouth.
