    Silky, milky, smooth winter hydration!

    Dr. Loretta’s Barrier Enhancing Milky Essence is deeply hydrating without feeling heavy or causing breakouts. I apply a generous amount every morning and evening, and its lightweight, silky texture is instantly absorbed, leaving my skin smooth. During the winter months in the Northeast, it’s been keeping my skin hydrated and soothed despite the harsh, dry air. It layers beautifully under other products without any greasy residue, and I’m excited to see how well it performs during the summer.

    Absolutely amazing

    This essence is so hydrating and soothing. The perfect lightweight, milky texture. Perfect for layering before serum or moisturizer. Exactly what my skin has been needing in these dry, cold months!

    Gorgeous silky hydration

    I was kindly gifted this essence serum to try and after only a few weeks of using it morning and evening, amongst other mild products-nothing too strong like acids, retinoids, etc-I noticed a visible improvement in the hydration level of my skin and the overall brightness. My skin looked like it came to life again! I will definitely be purchasing this and continue using it, hopefully it just gets better from here!

    great for winter

    I didn't notice a major change from this product, but I started using it in the coldest month of the year, and my skin stayed hydrated! I even had a friend ask me if I had started Botox (I haven't!) and this was the only thing I changed in my routine.

    Perfect addition to my routine!

    I swapped this in for my usual hydrating toner (before serums/moisturizer) and have definitely noticed an improvement in pore size/visibility. It's also very hydrating, will for sure repurchase this one.
