If you’re new to the Esse range, then we encourage you to start with the Sensitive Range kit, before moving on to the other sets once your skin has adjusted.
1. Why is it worth trying?
You might have heard of the ‘rewilding movement’ but if you haven’t joined yet, then the Esse Trial / Travel Set is the perfect place to start!
Specialists: Since launching in 2002, Esse has established itself as a pioneer in the organic skincare industry, positioning itself at the forefront of microbiome skincare. Esse launched the world’s first Live Probiotic Serum, containing 50 million live probiotic microbes per drop to actively shape the skin’s ecosystem and improve skin function. This is a world first in skincare.
Natural: Turning the centuries-old notion of ‘sterile’ beauty on its head, Esse is challenging the profit-driven model that encourages repeated deep-cleansing with chemical-laden products that strip the skin of its natural oils. Rather, Esse draws on organic biotechnology and sustainable practices to support the skin’s natural microbiome – your finely-tuned ecosystem of microbes and cells which evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to protect your skin.
Compact: Our Esse Trial / Travel Set is the perfect travel size, so you always have your skincare products with you no matter where you go.
Convenient: Our portable Esse Travel Set contains four products from Esse’s globally renowned skincare line that have been carefully formulated to revitalise and protect your skin.
2. What are the benefits?Esse continues to lead the way in sustainable skincare practices with proven benefits for skin health. By getting started with the Esse Trial / Travel Sets, you will begin to enjoy these benefits, including:
A much more simplified daily skincare routine that minimises interference with the skin, supporting the skin’s ability to produce its natural, protective oils. A simple splash in the face with cool water every morning is actually the best start to the day!
Years of chemical-rich skincare products have disrupted the natural processes and led to a rise in skin sensitivity and inflammation, resulting in everything from acne to rosacea. Esse’s Trial / Travel Set includes products reliant on biotechnology that consider and treat sensitive skin.
Esse uses probiotics in its skincare range – microorganisms which have a number of health benefits for the skin. Among these are an improved barrier function to block toxins and pathogens, maintenance of the skin pH, reduced skin sensitivity and improved immune response, as well as slowing the ageing process. Esse products will ensure you have healthier skin, improved skin elasticity for a more youthful appearance, and a reduction in redness.
Esse has relaunched the Trial / Travel Set to improve sustainability. This means replacing the current tubes with glass bottles, and all products are housed in a fully biodegradable tray made from 100% sugarcane bagasse that has a very low embodied carbon and will compost in around 30 days. This is covered in a box that is fully recyclable.

Tackling Acne Spot On! A terrific way to deliver botanicals helping remove excess oils from pores, this penetrating mask designed for you to experience how this fast-acting mask dries the blemish, speeding your way to clearer skin. Botanicals and extracts including Tea Tree Oil, Camphor, Willow Bark Extract and Alp Sebum help fight and control bacteria, decongest pores while calming and soothing skin for maximum comfort.
Try it overnight for the best results.
Directions:
Cleanse face with a blemish cleanser. Pat dry. Apply Spot On Zinc and Sulfur Mask directly on breakouts.
Formulated to remove dirt, makeup, dead skin cells as efficiently as possible, whilst also unclogging pores ensuring you prevent skin concerns such as acne.
Why cleanser over soap?
A lot of people will just opt for using a bar of soap instead of a cleanser to clean their face. A bar of soap has a PH of 9 or 10 whereas the surface of the skin is typically around 4.7. this can change the balance in the skin which can lead to breakouts. Soap also often has thickener in it to give it its texture, or in the case of a bar of soap, its structure. This thickener can clog pores again, potentially leading to outbreaks. Finally, soap can remove the natural oils from the skin meaning the skin will potentially start to overproduce oils to replace what has been removed resulting in clogged pores and acne.
When should I use a cleanser?
Some signs that you should use a cleanser
Your skin is very oily or acne prone
Your skin gets oilier as the day goes on
You use oil based, waterproof or long-wearing make up
If you need to thoroughly remove any products or irritants that come into contact with your skin
Key Points
Calming soothing and brightening. Botanical and anti-oxidant: Green Tea, Chamomile, Jojoba, Niacin (vitamin B3), Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Arnica, Liquorice, Allantoin.
Certified by The Vegan Society.
Directions
Massage a small amount into skin, rinse with water and dry with a clean towel. Use twice daily
