Pacifica Hydrating Glazing Facial Essence — Milky Glass Skin 5 fl oz, Deep Hydration with Squalane & Polyglutamic Acid

This lightweight, milky essence blends weightless moisturizers like squalane and polyglutamic acid with botanical hydrators such as coconut water and jasmine extract to lock in moisture, soothe the skin’s appearance, and create a plump, refreshed surface. Designed to sit comfortably under serums, creams, and makeup, it gives a glowy, hydrated canvas without feeling heavy. The formula is clean, vegan, and cruelty-free, and comes in a generous 5 fl oz size for daily morning and evening use.

How does this essence actually hydrate and hold moisture?

The formula combines barrier-supporting squalane with polyglutamic acid, a humectant that attracted and retains water for longer-lasting hydration. Together they help the skin look plumper and smoother by reducing the appearance of dehydration lines and improving surface suppleness without a sticky finish.

• Squalane: reinforces the skin’s natural moisture barrier and prevents trans-epidermal water loss.
• Polyglutamic acid: holds multiple times its weight in water for deep hydration.
• Coconut water: provides lightweight, fast-absorbing hydration for immediate refreshment.

Will it layer well with my serums, moisturizer, or makeup?

Yes — the silky, milky texture is made to layer under or over active serums and beneath creams and foundations. It absorbs quickly and creates a smooth base that enhances product glide and gives foundation a natural, dewy finish when mixed in.

• Use it after cleansing and toning as a skin-prep step.
• Layer serums over it for targeted treatments, then finish with moisturizer and SPF.
• Mix a small amount into foundation for added glow and hydration without pilling.

Is this gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin?

The essence includes colloidal oat and jasmine extract to soothe and calm the look of irritation, while panthenol (vitamin B5) supports softness and skin comfort. It’s formulated without parabens, phthalates, or mineral oil and follows clean, vegan standards to reduce exposure to common irritants.

• Colloidal oat: helps comfort and calm sensitive skin appearance.
• Panthenol: improves perceived softness and hydration over time.
• Free from parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil; vegan and cruelty-free.

How and when should I include this essence in my routine?

Use morning and evening after cleansing and toning, before serums and moisturizers, to lock in a hydrated base. It also works well as a midday refresh or mixed into makeup for added moisture and sheen.

• Daily use: apply 1–2 pumps to palms and press into face and neck.
• Under makeup: let absorb briefly, then apply primer and foundation.
• Mix-in: blend a drop into foundation for a dewy finish or layer with sunscreen in the AM.
