The Essentials

The Essentials by Josh Rosebrook brings together three of the California brand's best-known products in a compact skincare routine.

The set is ideal for discovering Josh Rosebrook, traveling, or gifting. Despite its few steps, it already beautifully showcases the brand's signature: aloe vera, high-quality plant oils, complex herbal blends, and modern formulations meet exceptionally pleasant textures.

The Three Essentials

• Complete Moisture Cleanse – 30 ml: This gentle gel cleanser combines aloe vera, honey, and saponified coconut oil with an unusually broad blend of high-quality plant oils and herbal extracts. It removes dirt, sebum, and light makeup without unnecessarily drying out the skin.
• Daily Acid Toner – 15 ml: A hydrating leave-on toner with a hibiscus acid complex and glycolic acid. Pyruvic, malic, citric, tartaric, and glycolic acids support more even exfoliation of the outermost layer of skin, leaving it looking smoother, clearer, and fresher. More about the Daily Acid Toner.
• Hydrating Accelerator – 30 ml: Aloe vera forms the basis of this fine facial mist, complemented by jojoba, marula, evening primrose, hemp, and other plant oils, as well as an exceptionally complex herbal blend. It quickly replenishes moisture and ideally prepares the skin for serum, oil, or cream. More about the Hydrating Accelerator.

How to Use

• Step 1 – Cleanse: Massage a small amount of Complete Moisture Cleanse onto the face and neck in circular motions, then rinse with warm water.
• Step 2 – Tone: After cleansing, gently distribute a few drops of Daily Acid Toner over the face and neck using your hands or a pad. Do not rinse.
• Step 3 – Hydrate: Spray Hydrating Accelerator generously onto the face and neck.
• Then apply serum, oil, or cream to the still slightly damp skin.
• In the morning, always finish the routine with a suitable sunscreen.
• If you have not used acids regularly before, you can initially use the Daily Acid Toner every other day.

FAQ

Who is The Essentials particularly suitable for?
For anyone who wants to discover Josh Rosebrook or is looking for a compact basic routine. With its three different steps, the set is suitable for normal and dry skin as well as combination and oilier skin.

Is the Daily Acid Toner an enzyme peel?
No. Exfoliation is provided by an acid complex from hibiscus with pyruvic, malic, citric, and tartaric acids, along with additional glycolic acid. Classic exfoliating enzymes such as papain or bromelain are not included.

Can I use the three products every day?
Complete Moisture Cleanse and Hydrating Accelerator can be used morning and evening. Daily Acid Toner is also designed for regular use; sensitive skin or skin unaccustomed to acids should initially start more slowly.

Do I still need a cream after Hydrating Accelerator?
That depends on your skin type. The mist provides moisture and contains finely balanced plant oils, but for dry skin it usually does not replace a final cream or facial oil.

Is The Essentials vegan?
No. Complete Moisture Cleanse contains honey.
