    A Cushioned Base for Layered Skincare

    Recommend adding this as your base on which skincare is layered as a cushion to protect skin against daily aggressors. Moving this product with one’s hands is a pleasure!

    Fantastic Milky Toner/Essence

    I’d wanted to try the Rhode Milky Toner, but with such sensitive skin I needed something cleaner. I found Dr. Loretta’s milky essence and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! This was my entry product to Dr. Loretta and it’s become a staple in my routine. I’ve even gone on to buy a few other products as well that I now love thoroughly. A little goes a long way (3-4 dashes is more than enough), it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and dewy, and it absorbs really well and doesn’t just sit on top of the skin. 10/10 for me!

    Gorgeous formula!

    This product applied so nicely and it was super easy to pat in. Afterwards my skin looks so glowy and feels so soft and smooth. Would rebuy asap when I run out!! Just the dispensing is a little hard to control because it’s just a hole in a flat lid.
