Product Description
Discovered by Biotherm, Life Plankton has surprised over again with the scope of its regenerative, protective and soothing properties to become Biotherm’s life pulse, bringing striking affinity to almost all Biotherm’s formulas. For the first time, Life Plankton is infused at its highest concentration within Life Plankton Essence. In 8 days, see and feel a new-born skin: more radiant, more even, smoother, hydrated, with greater resilience and fine lines faded. Immediately, the skin is soothed and softened.
Life Plankton™ Essence is as actively concentrated as a serum, yet as lightweight as a cosmetic water for maximum absorption and deep-working effectiveness. Created to be the 1st step of every beauty routine, this breakthrough texture, that applies like a cosmetic water and transforms into the lightest of serums, works as a miracle essence.
In 8 days see and feel a new-born skin.*
While in the midst of preparing for my winter trip last December, Biotherm was my first choice for skin hydration. I turned to their moisturisers time and time again because it works for my skin type, despite the heavy fragrance which I dislike. While I used to be a big fan of their moisturisers, I have since cut down considerably on the usage, due to the inclusion of heavy fragrances. However, when the need arises, such as winter weather, I know that I can still rely on them.
There was a promotion on their latest essence - Biotherm Life Plankton Essence so I purchased both the essence and the moisturiser and pair up both of them, together with a complimentary serum sample and all work beautifully on my skin, without any flakiness during my 10D China trip.
Biotherm Life Plankton Essence is an essence meant to be used after the toner and before the serum. I usually skip the toner and use the essence directly after cleansing, because I don't like to layer too many products on my skin, if possible. So with cleanser, essence, serum and the moisturizer, I think it works fairly well enough for my skin type.
Said to improve the skin's condition in 8 days, in terms of hydration, texture, fine lines, radiance and resilience, it certainly sounds promising, however, I am usually only focused on hydration where Biotherm products are concerned, because that is what they do best. The rest of the so-called benefits are secondary to me.
Contained in a bulky glass bottle, it is definitely not travel and user-friendly. I was so afraid it broke, and I wrapped it with some papers and stuffed it between my clothes in the luggage, thankfully it didn't break. Sample sachets are more useful on trips but unfortunately I didn't have the time to visit their counters then ( due to my sprained ankle and falling sick prior to the trip ).
Heavily fragranced, the essence is pretty runny ( with a cloudy colour ) which I usually pour into my palms and pat all over my face. My skin feels sticky yet fresh and comfortable, under the harsh winter weather. The hydration lasts only as long as the product is used. The stickiness disappears after following up with the serum and moisturizer. Personally I felt that that the essence works more effectively, together with the serum and moisturizer. Skin feels and looks smoother, softer, supple and hydrated.
With the essence alone, the benefits aren't that spectacular and isn't enough to achieve the hydration level required for my skin type and under the winter weather.
