Step 2: The Giving Essence
Dispense into hands and pat or press onto face. Follow with the rest of your skincare routine.

Step Three:
Birch Milk Refining Toner

A milky toner designed for daily use. With an optimal balance of lactic acid, glycolic acid and gluconolactone and skin-soothers like birch juice and marshmallow root, your skin will stay hydrated while buffing away fine lines and preventing breakouts.

Step Four:
The Giving Essence

An essence that is the perfect balance of antioxidants, deep hydration and brightening power. Ellagic acid, a naturally produced acid in berries, naturally brightens the skin, while polyglutamic acid helps your skin retain 5,000 times its weight in water.
