**The following post is not written by me, I'm just keeping it at my own blog for easier reference and to prevent the link is removed. Original Post: http://beautyfaceskin123.blogspot.my/2013/09/tipswhat-are-essence-serum-lotion.html** 10 years ago, skincare products were much simpler. I only have cleanser, toner and also moisturizer which people called cream. The extra products that I have would be sunblock I guess. Fast forward ten years and we have so many products out there in the market until I can’t even differentiate what is essence, serum , lotion, cream and even booster! One day I was looking at my aunt skincare products and asked her what is the differences between essence and cream but I didn't get the exact answer that I want! Some would just tell me to put it after toner or something. I got confused with so many things to put and I usually use mixture of brands and products. I was so lost with all these skincare products terms. So, today I am just going to share the meaning of those products in layman term. Hopefully, it will be of help to you =).
