7 Days to Activate Your Skin

A simple hydration reset for tired, dehydrated skin

Busy schedules, late nights and seasonal changes can quietly affect how skin looks and feels. Over time, skin may appear dull, show signs of dehydration, or respond less effectively to the products you already use.

While it’s tempting to rethink your entire routine, sometimes the most impactful change is simply adding the right first step.

That’s where the Jurlique Activating Water Essence+ comes in. With the 7 Days to Activate sample pack, you can experience how one small shift — used consistently for just one week — can lead to visible improvements in hydration and skin feel.

What Is Activating Water Essence+?

Designed by Jurlique to prepare, activate and hydrate, this lightweight essence is used immediately after cleansing to help condition and revitalise skin. By restoring hydration early in your routine, it helps prime skin so the products that follow can perform more effectively.

Clinical results show that skin hydration increased by 55% in just 10 minutes*, with users reporting skin that felt fresher, softer and more balanced. Activating Water Essence+ is also proven to deliver continuous hydration throughout the day and night.

With ongoing use, results become even more noticeable. After 7 days, Activating Water Essence+ is clinically proven to improve skin elasticity*, suppleness* and overall hydration^.

The 7-Day Ritual

When to use
Apply morning and evening, after cleansing and before serums & treatments.

How to use
Pour a few drops into the palm of your hand and gently press over the face, neck and décolletage. Take a moment to enjoy the subtle botanical aroma, with notes of rosemary, jasmine and sandalwood.

Follow with your preferred Jurlique serum. Clinical studies show that using Activating Water Essence+ before Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating Serum, Rare Rose Serum or Herbal Recovery Bi-Phase Serum significantly enhances hydration benefits^^.

The Results

With continued use, Activating Water Essence+ delivers results you can both see and feel. Skin feels instantly hydrated, looks smoother and more supple, and appears radiant — perfectly prepared for the next steps in your routine.

Ritual Tip: The 8+2 Mix & Glow Method

To further amplify results, try Jurlique’s signature 8+2 Mix & Glow ritual.

Blend 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ with 2 drops of a Jurlique face oil — such as Rare Rose Face Oil, Calendula Face Oil, Herbal Recovery Face Oil or Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil — in the palm of your hand. Gently press into the skin.

This carefully balanced ratio is clinically proven to boost hydration and help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier when used consistently^^^.

Why It Works

At the core of Activating Water Essence+ are two Marshmallow Root extracts, grown and harvested on Jurlique’s biodynamic* farm in the pristine Adelaide Hills for over 40 years.

Macerated Marshmallow Root extract provides intense hydration, helping to lock in moisture for soft, supple skin.

Bio-intrinsic Marshmallow Root extract supports the structure of the stratum corneum, helping skin retain moisture more effectively^^^^

These ingredients are combined with Jurlique’s exclusive Radiance Blend, featuring Rosa gallica, Calendula, Marshmallow Root and Lavender, to help skin appear more revitalised and luminous.

7 Days to Activate

This simple step doesn’t just hydrate — it helps activate your entire skincare ritual. By enhancing the absorption of serums and moisturisers, Activating Water Essence+ supports better overall performance from the products you already use.

Just one minute, twice a day, is all it takes to begin noticing the difference. Discover hydrated, healthy-looking skin and start your 7 Days to Activate journey.
