How it works
The Vita Frost Chilling Essence is a 50ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopherol, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mentha Aquatica (Water Mint) Extract and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopherol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence AXIS-Y sells in Korea, Tocopherol and all.

Key actives
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. On this essence's own ingredient list it is named twentieth.
Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extractplant extract
Cucumber fruit extract, mostly water with sugars and amino acids. It is used as a light hydrating extract with a fresh, cooling character. It is named sixth on this essence's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Mentha Aquatica (Water Mint) Extractplant extract
Water mint extract. It carries the aromatic compounds and polyphenols of the mint family and gives a faint cooling sensation on the surface. It is named eighth on this essence's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extractplant extract
Rosemary Leaf Extract carries rosmarinic and carnosic acids, both effective antioxidants. It is often there to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid. It is named ninth on this essence's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extractplant extract
Eucalyptus leaf extract, the water-based extract rather than the essential oil. It carries tannins and flavonoids with only a trace of the aroma. The panel names it twelfth on this essence's list, beside Tocopherol.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Tocopherol and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tocopherol and all. We match this essence to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Tocopherol?
Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mentha Aquatica (Water Mint) Extract and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopherol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Bambusa Vulgaris Extract and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Apply it after your toner while the skin is still damp, morning or night.
- Press it over the whole face with flat hands and give the cheeks a second pass if they feel hot.
- Follow with a light moisturiser, since an essence on its own does not close a routine.
- Do not use it in place of a moisturiser after a hot day, because comfort now is not the same as holding water in.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this essence on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Tocopherol on the list.
- Introduce this essence on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Tocopherol rather than to three changes at once.

People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
