Esse Resurrect Serum is a locally made evening treatment formulated with Namibian resurrection plant, aloe, baobab, and probiotics. Designed specifically for dry or ageing skin, it works to deliver deep hydration, calm inflammation, and soften fine lines.

This evening serum delivers deep hydration and soothing antioxidant repair for dry or ageing skin, though the premium local price tag limits its value.
Formulated with the Namibian resurrection plant alongside soothing aloe, nourishing baobab, and balancing probiotics, Esse Resurrect Serum offers targeted evening care for dry and ageing complexions. This organic, cruelty-free serum focuses on soothing inflammation, plumping tired-looking skin, and softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its formula provides deep hydration and antioxidant repair overnight, supporting skin health while you sleep. Made locally in South Africa, the serum aligns with clean beauty standards. While its performance in boosting moisture levels and calming irritation makes it an effective addition to a night routine, its price tag of R1429.99 places it firmly in the premium category. For shoppers seeking high-end local skincare focused on hydrating and smoothing dehydrated skin, it serves as a restorative nightly option, though cost remains a key consideration relative to overall value.
