Face Essence — A.O. Reboot & Renew by AP Beauty

A heritage favorite, reawakened by science: this Face Essence from AP Beauty (Amorepacific) is the evolved descendant of the beloved Vintage Essence. Applied as the very first step after cleansing, the A.O. Reboot & Renew Essence floods skin with the brand’s exclusive, patented antioxidant A.OXINOL™ — measured at 3.7x stronger antioxidant power than vitamin C — alongside newly added Protease to reinforce the moisture barrier. The result: refined texture, enhanced clarity, and a luminous, even-toned complexion that’s primed to receive the full benefit of every serum and cream that follows.

Why You’ll Love This Face Essence

• A.OXINOL™ antioxidant: AP-exclusive, patented — 3.7x stronger than vitamin C¹
• Protease enzyme: Reinforces the moisture barrier for stronger, more resilient skin
• First-step ritual: Applied post-cleanse to maximize absorption of your whole routine
• Refines & clarifies: Visibly smooths texture and evens tone over time
• Sensitive-skin approved: Clinically, dermatologically, irritation & hypoallergenic tested
• Generous size + gift: 150ml full size with a 15ml travel essence included

The Science in the Bottle

Oxidative stress — the daily damage from UV, pollution and blue light — breaks down collagen and accelerates visible aging. A.OXINOL™ neutralizes these free radicals far more potently than a vitamin C derivative¹, while Protease actively supports barrier repair. Together they slow visible signs of aging and soothe reactive skin toward a healthier, more radiant baseline.
