Sensitive Facial Skin Is More Than Just Dry
Sensitive facial skin rarely has only one concern. It may feel tight and itchy when moisture is low, become visibly red after cleansing or friction, and still feel oily around areas such as the nose.
That is why sensitive facial skin often needs more than a heavy layer of moisturizer. It needs balanced daily care that replenishes moisture, helps reduce moisture loss, and supports skin after everyday external stress.
ATOMU Essence B was developed for this combination of concerns, with a lightweight texture that fits easily into a daily facial routine.
From Nature to Fermentation: CeBiNES
More Than a Blend of Botanical Extracts
CeBiNES is ATOMU’s proprietary naturally fermented complex made from extracts of naturally derived ingredients.
ATOMU extracts and refines selected naturally derived ingredients according to their characteristics, then blends and naturally ferments them to create CeBiNES.
During natural fermentation, some complex components may be broken down into smaller and simpler forms, while new fermentation metabolites may be created. This transformation may help improve the usability of certain plant-derived compounds in skincare formulations.
Essence B uses CeBiNES as the foundation of a daily essence designed especially for the face and sensitive, delicate skin.
When Skin Feels Dry, Tight, and Itchy
Hydrate the Skin — and Help It Hold On to Moisture
When skin becomes dry, the problem is not only a lack of moisture. Increased moisture loss can also leave skin feeling tight, rough, and repeatedly itchy.
In a two-week clinical study, Essence B increased skin hydration, reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and reduced scores for itching caused by dryness.
This means Essence B is designed not only to add moisture, but also to support moisture retention and help care for discomfort associated with dry skin.
When Skin Looks Red After External Stress
Comfort for Skin After Cleansing, Friction, and Everyday Physical Stress
Facial skin can become visibly red and feel uncomfortable after everyday physical stress such as cleansing, rubbing, mask-wearing, or frequent touching.
In a skin-soothing study, physical irritation was induced and Essence B was applied once. Redness was measured 10 minutes after application.
Redness decreased by 16.01% on the Essence B–treated area and by 9.79% on the untreated area. A statistically significant difference was also observed between the treated and untreated areas.
The result supports the use of Essence B as a quick, lightweight care step for skin that becomes visibly red after external physical stress.
When Skin Needs Moisture but Oiliness Is Also a Concern
Hydration Without Relying on a Heavy, Oily Feel
Dry skin does not always need a heavy or oily finish. Facial skin can feel dehydrated while still becoming shiny around the nose or other areas.
In a separate two-week clinical study, skin sebum measured around the sides of the nose decreased by 58.75% after using Essence B.
Essence B is not positioned as a harsh sebum-removing product. Instead, it offers lightweight hydration for facial skin when both moisture and oiliness are concerns.
Tested on Sensitive Skin
Primary Skin Irritation Patch Test Completed
For a product designed for sensitive skin, comfort and skin irritation are important considerations.
Essence B was patch tested on subjects identified as having sensitive skin. Skin reactions were evaluated 1 hour and 24 hours after a 24-hour patch application.
No irritation response was observed at either evaluation point. The mean skin irritation score was 0.00, placing the product in the non-irritation range under the study criteria.
Recommended For
- Facial skin that easily feels dry or tight after cleansing
- Skin with recurring itching caused by dryness
- Skin that becomes visibly red after external physical stress
- Sensitive, delicate skin that prefers lightweight daily care
- Skin that needs moisture while oiliness around the nose is also a concern
- Teens and adults looking for a daily facial essence for sensitive skin
Original or B: Which Essence Is Right for You?
Both formulas contain CeBiNES, but they are positioned for different areas and daily care needs.
Lightweight Hydration for Daily Facial Care
Essence B is designed to deliver moisture without an overly heavy or greasy feel, making it easy to use for everyday care on sensitive facial skin.
Apply it after cleansing as an early hydration step. On days when skin needs more moisture, follow with Lotion17 or Cream17.
For skin that feels dehydrated but also looks shiny in some areas, starting with lightweight hydration and adding only as much moisturizer as needed can be a practical approach.
Made with a Variety of Naturally Derived Ingredients
CeBiNES is not built around a single hero ingredient.
ATOMU extracts and naturally ferments multiple naturally derived ingredients to create one proprietary complex.
Representative ingredients include propolis extract, Centella asiatica, Houttuynia cordata, sesame, Ecklonia cava, Ulmus davidiana, and other naturally derived ingredients.
Some of these botanicals, including Centella asiatica and Houttuynia cordata, have a long history of traditional use in skin-soothing care.
How to Use
After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount evenly over clean facial skin.
Gently press with your palms to help absorption, and reapply as needed to areas that feel dry.
For additional moisturization, allow Essence B to absorb fully before applying Lotion17 or Cream17.
Recommended Routine
Choose and layer products according to your skin condition and the level of moisturization you need.
