Microbiome Essence
Our skin’s first line of defense, the skin’s microbiome is the ecosystem of microorganisms on the skin’s surface that keep it healthy, hydrated, and protected. Consider this formula your skin’s daily source of nourishment, providing essential nutrients that feed skin’s friendly bacteria. Inspired by essences used in traditional Korean beauty routines, this essence enhances hydration levels, improves skin elasticity, and preps skin to better absorb the other products in your routine. It also has the added benefit of postbiotic actives that protect skin from unwanted bacteria and free radical damage.
A marine postbiotic, Seabiome, provides essential microbiome nutrients that help skin defend itself from aggressors and irritants that can cause, acne, dry skin, and texture. A specialized blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids work to improve skin’s hydration levels. Oct229 PF increases skin’s oxygen uptake and turnover rate, while tamarind seed polysaccharide protects skin’s moisture barrier to prevent moisture loss & boost elasticity.
This silky, lightweight formula works overtime to strengthen skin’s natural defenses, leading to hydrated, smooth, and healthy skin.
The essence you receive is 90ml as advertised! Our bottles are not filled to the top to minimize potential leaking or damages during transportation.
Size: 90mL/3.0 US fl. oz
After toning in the morning and evening, gently shake the essence dispense a dime-sized amount of the product onto a clean, dry hand, and press your palms together to wet both hands. Gently smooth and press over the face and neck, ensuring even coverage. Use the temperature of your palms and gently pat it into your skin for maximum absorption. Once fully absorbed, follow with your regular skincare routine.
FERMENT COMPLEX:
This specialized blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids visibly improves skins moisture levels, texture, and suppleness.
SEABIOME:
Extracted from the fermentation of a marine microorganism from the Abera region in Brittany in France. Processed using a green patent technology SeaBiome, a marine postbiotic balances the skin microbiome to improve barrier function. This prevents damage from environmental aggressors, reduces inflammation, and leads to a more even and radiant appearance.
OXY229 PF:
By improving cells oxygen uptake by over 300%, skin cells have more energy and are able to turnover faster. This improves the look of tired and dull skin, reduces the look of redness, improves skins texture, and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
UNITAMURON H-22:
This multifunctional active uses a vegetable polysaccharide complex from tamarind seeds to help improve skin elasticity and hydration to decrease visible signs of aging and roughness.

Unexpectedly a new fave!
I tried this on a whim but it’s now my new favourite product. I feel like I’ve tried EVERYTHING to help my acne over the past 22 years that I’ve had it, and this product has made such an unexpected difference. Fewer blemishes, they don’t get as big, and they heal up much faster. Maybe because it minimizes inflammation? I’m not sure but I don’t care, I just hope this product never gets discontinued!

Surprising
I have been using this in the evening and I' ve been enjoying it each time! You really only need a dime sized as stated, but it absorbs into the skin real quick leaving it non-sticky and prepped for the next product! #tryitwithtopbox

Give some essence a try!
With all the skin care I've dabbled in, I've never really look twice at essences. It just seems like something so easy to skip but this essence is really nice! I used it right out of the shower, after toning but before serum. This prepped my skin so nicely to help other products absorb plus the good ingredients for your skin. I highly recommend this and the price point is fantastic.

Really Nice
I used this in the morning and evening after toning for several weeks. I found the first few times I used it that it made my skin tingle , but not with continued use. I am happy with the results, my skin seems more smooth, hydrated and bright which is great for my usual dry winter skin.

Takes care of your skin
Simple packaging and no noticeable scent. It feels nice, soothing and hydrating, exactly what you' d expect an essence to be.
I always find it hard to tell if a product like this is having an effect, but our skin is exposed to so much and it' s important to take care of it.
I' ve been using this in combination with the Indeed Gluconolactone 10% Exfoliating Toner and the In-Ceramide Daily Moisture Cream every night, and overall my skin is clearer than it' s been in a long time, and my pores are much less noticeable. I had a lot of redness and the overall tone is much better, and it feels nice and moisturized.

Unsure
This is a nice product. It feels super soft and silky on the skin. I am not a huge fan of the " dispenser" I understand the plug to keep air out of the product, but it does not dispense well. I use it by placing a few drops on my fingertips and then blotting it onto my face. I have been using this in the am and pm but have not noticed a significant change in my overall skin. Although the product is nice, I would have to use it longer to see if I notice any difference while using it. As of right now, I likely wouldn't repurchase as it seems an unnecessary extra step in my routine. #trywithtopbox

Another hard working product!
The microbiome essence is one of those hard working products that you can' t see working right away but it is packed with so many helpful ingredients that fight off skin villains and combined with a good cleanser, toner and moisturizer you don' t need to worry about your skin at all. It is super simple to use, just a little on your palms and press it gently into your skin and it works hard for you. It melts into your skin immediately and feels so refreshing! I love all of indeed labs products. Their skincare line works hard for you. Thank you #trywithtopbox to add to my growing indeed labs products obsession!!

Perfect!
I got this essence from #trywithtopbox. This essence is perfect!! It doesn' t leave my skin greasy but really hydrates my skin, especially during these cold winter months. Being sensitive to scents I was pleasantly surprised that this was fragrance free, which is a great bonus. This is 100% rebuy! Love it!

Game Changer!
I received this product to try from Topbox and I am OBSESSED. I have never used an essence as part of my skin care routine but I cannot go back. I use this with my Gua Sha in the morning and after removing makeup, it's such a luxurious addition to my routine. I wanted to give it two weeks and I have noticed a huge difference in the overall hydration of my skin, makeup goes on so much smoother after using this with the gua sha on my skin. I have fairly sensitive skin and this has caused no irritation. Can't wait to gift this to friends as well as repurchase for myself.

Definite must
As I get older, my skin has changed from greasy pimples in teenage years to almost reasonable during my youth.
Now much older my skin has changed to an unpleasant combination of dry and oily.
It either a pimple or it' s flaky skin.
So I' m trying to find a balance in my daily routine.
Shaving and beard cause irritation and incredibly dry skin.
I require something that is not greasy but will address the dryness , irritation, and everyday conditions:
I have found that this exceeded my expectations:
It revitalizes , and soothes and has improved the vitality of my face..

Loved this
This product was given to me as part of a three-step system. I tried this product on its own just to see how it worked and didn't really notice a difference. However when used in combination with the rest of the set this product provides great moisture with a lightweight feeling. I haven't noticed too much of a difference yet as I've only been using it for 3 weeks however I'm excited to see the results on the bottles are done.

Skin feels great!
I used this essence right after the toner and before the creme morning and night in my skincare routine and I have to say that Im quite impressed with the results. I really liked that the bottle had a tiny spillproof plug type of cap to avoid a big mess in your bag. First time I see this on a skincare product but was quite impressed by it. The essence wqs very eassy to apply. Pour in the palm of your hand and rub hands together a bit. Then just press against your face and neck. How easy is this right? Product made my skin feel fresh and hydrated. It dried quickly so I could start applying the creme right after. If you're in a rush in the morning(or not!) this is really the one for you.

Excellent Facial Essence!
Having applied the indeed essence on a daily basis, at the day, after my skin cleansing routine, I have noticed excellent results. My face look smoothed out, as my skin appears diminished from the daily spots caused by the sun and the appearance of fine lines. Moreover, the essence is super refreshing, as my face feels hydrated and renewed through its specialized blend of amino acids, minerals and vitamins.

Must have product
This may seem like a minor thing but I really like the addition of the tiny flap/stopper to cover the dispensing hole in this essence, keeping air out of the product as well as added protection from spills/seeping. The liquid has a luxurious feel to it, very thin yet silky. I prefer pouring a few drops in the palm of my hand and applying directly to my face vs using a cotton round which soaks up too much product. At first I wasn' t sure I' d like it, seemed like an unnecessary step in my skin care routine, which I like to keep fairly simple. However, this has quickly become a must-have for me both in the morning and evening before applying my other skincare products. Highly recommend!!
