This all-in-one spray is jam packed with AHAs, niacinamide, witch hazel and biosulfur - some of the best skincare ingredients that are renowned for its efficacy.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are gentle exfoliants that get rid of dead skin cells which enhance the skin on several levels. Firstly, the complexion looks brighter and more even as it lightens pigmentation and acne scars. It also unclogs pores to reduce and prevent acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines and boost the absorption of other skincare products.

The Rock & Herb Perfecting Skin Essence Spray has not one but four botanical AHAs from tropical fruits: Ananas sativus, Citrus limonum, Passiflora edulis, Vitis vinifera. And unlike glycolic acid, which can have a drying effect for some, these AHAs help increase moisture content in the skin.

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, also has multiple skin benefits covering acne, dryness, oiliness and ageing. It has anti-inflammatory benefits which helps calm redness, irritation and acne, especially inflamed acne like pustules. Niacinamide also helps strengthen the skin barrier which helps the skin retain moisture and regulate oil production as well as reduce the signs of ageing like pigmentation

Witch hazel and biosulfur are natural ingredients that fight bacterial-causing acne and odour. You don't have to worry about that rotten egg smell either as it contains colloidal biosulfur which doesn't have that scent.

This essence spray has helped streamline my morning routine and save so much time. I spray this on after cleansing my skin and instantly feel ready to start the day. Although the essence has a lightweight consistency, it's deeply moisturising and works as a replacement for my day cream. It has no discernible scent, which is a plus for my sensitive skin.

It's also my go-to whenever my skin looks tired or has any sign of irritation. With a spritz, it immediately soothes redness and that dry, tight feeling. Within days of using this spray, there's already a noticeable improvement. My skin is smoother, brighter and gets less redness and breakouts.

After spraying it on my face, I work my way down to my neck, chest underarms and back. That's because this essence spray's moisturising and antibacterial effects also helps treat backne and body odour. It's easy to reach any part of the body, even the back, as the spray can spray works while held in multiple angles. If the strong scent of traditional deodorants is a turn-off, this spray is what you need as it helps combat odours without adding on strong artificial scent.

The eco-conscious will be glad to know that the bottle is refillable and fully recyclable. As it's so easy to refill the bottle, Rock & Herb came up with an ingenious design where the ink fades away over time. That way, the bottles can't be resold with counterfeit liquid.
