I received a box of the rinse-off masks from a good friend who purchased it in Sephora, during Christmas. While I am always happy to receive masks, but unfortunately, products from Peter Thomas Roth didn't were more misses than hits based on past experiences.

I have previously emptied Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Mask which didn't perform up to my expectation but I am hoping that the rest work well. 

[ Review ] T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence

 

Product Description

T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence is a first-step essence with Kombucha extract to hydrate and soften the skin texture. 

I purchased T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence together with Hyggee Vegan Sun Cream, Herbloom Calming Days Vegan Sunscreen, Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum, Foretderm Derma Relief Vegan Suncream and others, during a sale. The essence wasn't really in my list, as skincare essence isn't an essential for me in my skincare routine. 

A first step essence is a specific type of essence used immediately after cleansing—before toner, serum, or moisturizer. It’s designed to be the very first product that touches your skin post-cleanse, hence the name.

These essences are usually lightweight, watery in texture, and packed with fermented ingredients, hydrating agents, or skin-renewing actives. Their primary purpose is to balance the skin's pH, replenish moisture lost during cleansing, and enhance the effectiveness of the rest of your skincare routine by improving absorption.

First step essences are especially popular in Korean skincare routines, where skin prep is essential to achieving that healthy, radiant "glass skin" look. Ideal for all skin types—especially dull, dehydrated, or tired skin—these essences work quietly but powerfully to boost your skin’s vitality from the very first step.

My last emptied essences were Caudalie Vinoperfect Concentrated Brightening Glycolic Essence and Rovectin Aqua Hyaluronic Essence. 

Let’s take a closer look at how T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence performs as a first step essence and whether it lives up to the claims.
