Choosing skincare products can be daunting with so many choices available. In a marketplace full of superlative claims and descriptions (many of which lack real credibility), how do you choose skincare with confidence ?
A good start would be to consider brands that focus on real, independent results and clear communication.
At Esse Skincare, we are working to change the skincare industry by delivering measurable results with responsible and transparent product design.
A good example is this is the Protect Oil, in our Sensitive Range.
Our skin’s naturally produced oil, called sebum, is complex and incredibly important for the condition of the skin. Our recognition of this factor is highlighted in the product design. Protect Oil uses a high-quality key ingredient that is very rare in skincare – Ximenia Oil. This light-weight oil partially mimics the naturally produced sebum in your skin, helping to support its natural functioning.
A solid and clear design philosophy isn’t where it ends though. We are also scientifically rigorous about the benefits of our products. Our products aren’t just tested within our laboratories, they are sent to an independent lab in Bonn, Germany, to ensure that the results are completely unbiased.
So, when we claim that the Protect Oil protects sensitive skin, we do so with independent clinical data to prove it.
The benefits provided by Protect Oil, assessed over a 28-day study period, include :
- A 31% increase in hydration
- An 11% reduction in wrinkle depth
- A 13% increase in skin firmness
- A 9% increase in skin elasticity
Skin also recovered faster from irritation when treated with Protect Oil, and remarkable benefits were seen in the product’s protective properties – hence the name. Protect Oil protected skin from the damaging effects of an applied irritant, reducing the resulting erythema (redness) by 40% and reducing barrier damage by 31%.
Let’s consider these numbers in some context. Claims in skincare too often include the words “up to”, with reporting of only the very best result achieved in a study. But how do you know what results you may see by using the product if only one person in the study responded that way? Esse reports our benefits as averages over the entire study group, so when you read a claim we make, you know that you may reasonably anticipate a similar improvement in your skin.
Looking for a product that offers all round protection from environmental stressors, increased skin hydration, firmness, elasticity, and reduced wrinkle depth? Our Protect Oil, with Ximenia Oil, is a good place to start.
