Finding the right moisture for your face is of paramount importance. The spring season means we’ll all need lightweight products to use. Luckily, everything in the Hourglass Equilibrium Collection fits our needs. The Restoring Essence in particular smooths and plumps skin. It also forms a protective barrier against environmental pollutants and blue light stressors. Comprised of ultra-hydrating formula, it doesn’t leave skin feeling dry or tight. In fact, it increases the skin’s ability to absorb products layered over it. We also love that everything in the collection is vegan, cruelty-free, and also alcohol-free. The Equilibrium Rebalancing Cream Cleanser is priced at HKD $440 for full size and HKD $210 for travel size. The Equilibrium Restoring Essence is priced at HKD $540 and the Equilibrium Day Fluid Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is priced at HKD $880.
