• The Experience:

    • Skin analysis
    • Gentle, non-stripping cleanse using BIOME+ probiotic skincare
    • Targeted exfoliation & steam (where appropriate)
    • Bespoke facial accupressure and scalp release massage to calm the nervous system and improve circulation
    • Advanced application of prebiotic, probiotic and postbiotic serums
    • Barrier-supporting moisturisation tailored to your skin type
    • Suitable for all skin types, plus acne/rosacea/eczema/dermatisis-prone, and hypersensitive skins.
    • Pregnancy and oncology safe.

  • Skin Benefits:

    • Restores balance to the skin’s microbiome
    • Calms redness, irritation and inflammation
    • Strengthens the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss
    • Supports clearer, calmer skin and fewer flare-ups
    • Improves hydration, softness and overall skin resilience
    • Helps prevent premature ageing driven by chronic inflammation
    • Leaves skin visibly healthier, more comfortable and more stable

  • 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
