The step your routine is missing
The layer that makes everything work harder
Indulge your skin in deep, lasting hydration with this intensively plumping essence. Designed to deliver both instant and long-lasting moisture, it leaves the complexion smooth, supple and beautifully radiant, with a youthful-looking glow. Clinically proven to provide up to 24 hours of hydration, this effortless step elevates your skincare routine with visible results.
Often overlooked, an essence is the key to unlocking the full potential of your skincare routine, enhancing the absorption and performance of the products that follow. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it integrates seamlessly into any routine, making it ideal for those experiencing dryness, dullness, mid-day makeup patchiness or for anyone seeking to amplify the benefits of their skincare. Once introduced, it will be a step you don’t want to miss.
This advanced, high-performance formula is enriched with Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, alongside Vitamins C, E and B3 (Niacinamide). Together, these actives work to deeply hydrate, plump and replenish the skin, helping to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while reinforcing the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The complexion appears more even, with improved elasticity and a refined texture.
Dermatologically tested, this lightweight formula delivers comfort and hydration with every application.

Reviews

Lovely delicate brightening essence treatment

"Really like this skin product. The top just allows you to put the number of drops in your palm that you require. Consistency is slightly creamy though clear and glides on so easily. I’ve noticed a brightness to my skin since using daily. The smaller size is perfect for travel too. Lasts ages. Delicate essence smell and gentle to skin after sun exposure too."

Helen M. (5/5)

Highly recommend the Collagene Expert Hydra Essence.

"Absolutely beautiful product. My skin feels and looks so much more moisturised since using this essence. You only need a few drops each time so with the bottle being such a good size so it should last a long time."

Francesca L. (5/5)

Love this serum

"I got the small bottle in a gift set and absolutely loved it so I’ve now bought the large bottle to keep me going as I use it every day. Absorbs really nicely into the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and is perfect under moisturiser."

Roisin S. (5/5)

Does what it says on the ‘tin’

"Following purchasing the Xmas calendar I am hooked on Gatineau, not disappointed with any of the products and now I’m hooked on miracle eye cream and expert day and night essence. Just bought a couple of the offers so hoping for more favourites to be added to the list."

Elaine P. (5/5)
