Product Features

  • Esse’s answer to quick wrinkle reduction using a natural plant active which relaxes subcutaneous muscle in a similar way to cosmetic procedures
  • The effect lasts for 24 hours, but there is a cumulative effect so if used regularly, the appearance of lines and wrinkles over the long term will improve
  • Independent testing has proven that this product reduces wrinkle depth by 17% in 28 days, with positive results being shown in 100% of test subjects

Key ingredients

  • Mafane Extract (Acmella Oleracea) – this extract has a powerful myo-relaxing effect – it relaxes muscle so that wrinkles soften over 1 to 2 hours. Over time, with continuous use, wrinkle depth decreases and there is a smoothing effect on the skin.
  • Prebiotics – Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharides are food for beneficial microbes.
  • Probiotics – BIOME+ level 2 and 3. This serum uses a Lactobacillus species, but the cells have been deliberately broken and then filtered. This extract can still shift the types of microbial populations on the skin, as it has an antimicrobial effect on opportunistic microbes. It also contains probiotic cells that remain whole and able to dock into the binding sites on keratinocytes, although the cells are no longer alive. The metabolites in the fermentation “broth” are also included. The key effect is to stimulate the colonisation of favourable bacterial species.
  • Devil’s Claw Extract – we have brought this new ingredient to skincare because we have found exceptional results in the protection of elastin and collagen.
  • Kigelia Extract – our targeted extract of Kigelia yields a strong firming effect on the skin. Results are seen after two weeks of continuous use.
  • Low Molecular Mass Hyaluronic Acid – the Hyaluronic Acid levels in this product are exceptionally high – at the highest safe limit. Maximum hydrating and anti-wrinkle effect can be expected from Hyaluronic Acid in this product.

  1. Janice West –

    I’m into my twelfth month using this product and have skin like I did twenty years ago. Like all the Esse products, this is a magic potion.

    It goes a long way so a little dab will do you – I use
    One squirt mixed with a squirt of Probiotic Serum and it covers my entire face and neck. My skin is like a baby’s bottom.

    It is great for tightening up and smoothing out those nasty saggy jowls under the chin that seem to come with menopause.

    Whatever is left on my hands gets rubbed into the top of my hands and it has removed the wrinkles and spots that come with aging and so easily give your age away.

    It goes a long way and the bottle lasts me for four to five months – great value for the money.

    Highly recommended!

  2. Cordnee lee Moonsamy –

    All natural and organic way for wrinkle reduction.

  3. Minette Vosloo –

    This serum absorbs really fast. You can see the wrinkles relax within two hours. Even better with a facial and the added intensity ampoule.

  4. Karin Taljaard –

    This product is the best for special occasions. Reducing your winkles instantly. Pair it with an intensity ampule with a facial and it will make ur friends wonder if you’ve had some work done 😉

  5. Courtneigh Grundlingh –

    Love the tightness and firmness that this product gives the skin. It’s like magic in a bottle. Incredible results from using this serum!

  6. Karin –

    Mafane Extracts- know that is a magic ingredient! Perfect product to use before a function or wedding to reduce some wrinkles. Love that you can see the effects in a few minutes.
    Ever woman dream
    For keeping the wrinkles firmer and smoother use everyday with the rest of your Esse range

  7. Carmen Melissa Jessop –

    I have used this on alot of my mature clients and as a therapist working with it I always get mind blown on how well it reduces wrinkles and plumps and tightens the skin:)

  8. Kerry Venter –

    Slightly tacky sticky feel at first, but absorbs pretty quickly. Definite tightening effect. Super hydrating and plumping and makes a major difference on fine lines and wrinkles!

  9. Jenine Harrison –

    What is not to love about this product! As soon as I put it onto my skin, I feel an immediate tightening! Applied before a special function, it makes my makeup stay on much longer and holds it better! It gives the skin a special glow…I DO NOT go out without my magic lift & tuck! Thank you esse for giving us this organic alternative!

  10. Confidence Dikgole –

    The product is good, tightens the skin and keeps the skin looking young. The only major problem I have is the container used. At some point, the pump stops functioning properly. Please improve the container.
