Where does this essence go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This essence goes in your evening routine as a treatment step after your soothing toner and before your moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation for your sensitive skin because it lacks harsh ingredients, though a product for this skin type also needs stronger calming ingredients to better manage redness and irritation.

Can I use this essence with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this essence with retinol, applying the essence after cleansing and toning, and before your retinol product. This routine helps keep your skin calm and hydrated while you use retinol, and a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and gentle moisturizers to protect sensitive skin.

Can this essence clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This essence is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on sensitive skin because it is free of harsh or heavy ingredients. A product for this skin needs gentle hydrators like glycerin and barrier-supporting ingredients like bifida ferment extract to keep skin calm without causing irritation.

Can I use this essence around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this essence around the eyes and on your body, as its gentle ingredients are unlikely to cause irritation. Because the skin around your eyes is exceptionally thin, a moisturizing treatment like this may help hydrate and soften that delicate area.
