UNICORN TEARS Adenosine Enriched Collagen Essence

Unicorn Tears Collagen Essence

An essence rather than a serum — lighter, more fluid, and designed to go on first, straight after cleansing, while the skin is still damp.

Niacinamide sits second on the ingredient list, so there is a meaningful amount of it, paired with acetyl glucosamine. That combination is one of the better-studied pairings for uneven tone. Adenosine is included for the appearance of fine lines.

Hydrolyzed collagen works at the surface rather than deep down — it holds water against the skin and gives that immediate softness and slip you feel on application. The rest of the formula is built for comfort: ectoin and betaine to help cells hold water, beta-glucan, panthenol, allantoin and hyaluronic acid, plus a liquorice-derived soothing agent for skin that flushes easily.

Where it fits

First step after cleansing, before serums and moisturiser. An essence does the hydrating groundwork so that whatever follows sits on comfortable skin rather than tight skin.

Which to choose

Choose this if you want niacinamide across the whole face in a light, layerable first step. Choose the Niacinamide Power Serum if your priority is specifically oil control and pore appearance, where the added zinc PCA does the work.

How to use

Press into damp skin morning and night, then continue with the rest of your routine.
