The Esse Experience Facial (60min+) £120
The Esse Experience Facial is an advanced, microbiome-led treatment designed to restore balance, resilience and long-term skin health - the essential foundations of both youthful and clear skin. Using Esse Skincare’s pioneering BIOME+ formulations, this facial works with the skin’s natural biology to calm chronic inflammation, a key driver of premature ageing, while strengthening the skin barrier and supporting collagen-preserving, healthy skin renewal, without aggression or irritation. It's ideal for sensitive, reactive or compromised skins, as well as those seeking visible age-supporting results

The Science:
The skin’s microbiome plays a central role in regulating inflammation, immunity, hydration and ageing. When this ecosystem is disrupted - through harsh cleansers, overuse of actives, stress or environmental damage - the skin becomes reactive, fragile, prone to chronic issues, and the ageing process accelerates. The Esse Experience Facial uses BIOME+ Level formulations to gently shift the skin back toward equilibrium.
It is particularly effective for skins that cannot tolerate traditional active-led treatments
The ultimate LED upgrade
Medical grade Celluma LED therapy can be added to this facial. Targeted wavelengths enhance photobiomodulation within the skin, increasing cellular energy (ATP) and amplifying the signals responsible for collagen production, healing, skin renewal and skin longevity. Upgrading your facial to include a 'Celluma' LED treatment (not just any LED), will result in a more powerful, optimised outcome in terms of skin health and results
How Esse re-wilds the skin?
Esse is built on the understanding that modern skin has lost something essential. In the Western world, over-sanitisation, antibiotics, preservatives, pollution and synthetic skincare have dramatically reduced the diversity of microbes we coexist with. This loss of microbial diversity is directly linked to rising levels of acne, eczema, rosacea, sensitivity and premature ageing. By combining prebiotics (which feed beneficial microbes), postbiotics (which support barrier function and immune modulation), and live probiotics (which actively repopulate the skin), Esse skincare helps to re-wild the microbiome, teaching skin how to heal itself again
