Farmstay Grape Stem Cell Whitening Lifting Essence

It is a 50 ml Korean essence from Farmstay, made with grape callus extract, hyaluronic acid and antioxidant botanicals. An essence is a lightweight, watery step used after toner to layer hydration. Applied morning and evening, it helps skin look smoother, firmer and fresher before your emulsion and cream.

An essence is a light, fluid step that sits between toner and serum or moisturiser. After cleansing and toner, pat the essence over the face, then follow with your usual serum, emulsion and cream. Use it morning and evening, and always finish daytime routines with a separate sunscreen.

No. "Lifting" here refers to how the skin looks and feels, helping it appear firmer and smoother, not to any physical change in facial structure. The essence works on the surface look of the skin through hydration and antioxidant botanicals, supporting a fresher, more supple-looking complexion over time.

No. In Korean skincare, "whitening" means helping skin look brighter and more even in tone, not bleaching your natural complexion. The essence supports the appearance of a fresher, more radiant look rather than changing your skin colour, mainly through its hydrating and antioxidant botanical ingredients.

Yes. The essence is designed for daily morning and evening use. Its lightweight texture layers easily under other products. If your skin is sensitive, introduce it gradually and patch test on a small area first, so you can see how your skin responds over the first few days.

It suits dry to normal skin that wants an extra, lightweight layer of hydration between toner and moisturiser. Anyone building a fuller Korean routine, or who enjoys the supple feel an essence gives, will find it an easy step to add. Patch testing first is always sensible.

Yes. The formula includes Fragrance (Parfum), Hexyl Cinnamal and Butylphenyl Methylpropional, listed at the end of the ingredients. If you have fragrance-sensitive or reactive skin, check the full INCI list on this page before buying, and patch test on a small area first to be sure it feels comfortable.
