Mugwort Essence.

"I'm from Mugwort Essence I'm less sold on. First of all I just don't like the name mugwort, it's like the least sexy name in skincare, and I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but there's nothing that appeals to me about mugwort as a name. I assume that this would come with a really dodgy scent to it because mugwort as an ingredient just sounds like it would smell, but actually it doesn't have a dodgy scent, it has a completely neutral scent to it so you don't need to worry about that. It is great if you've got very acne prone skin, it can help regulate oil levels, it can hydrate a little bit, it's got some calming properties. I just think overall this is fine but I don't think it's as amazing as maybe some people make it out to be."

"I love this because it is such a simple ingredients list. It is just mugwort, that's a little bit of water, there's some preservatives in here, but this is what's considered a single extract essence so they're really just using one extract, one star ingredient to really give you all of the benefits using a high quantity in this essence. Mugwort is an amazing ingredient, you know it is very soothing. A lot of people go towards mugwort for soothing irritation. But you can see that there's a little bit of a fullness to the texture here and you absolutely feel that in your skin as you pat it in. It's very hydrating, it's watery, it's quickly absorbed, but there's just that little bit of plumpness. It's like, oh yeah, I love that plump feeling, especially when you want to build lots of hydration but without hyaluronic acid."
