If your skin needs a boost of anti-aging moisture and calm, look no further than the Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence from Missha.
This holy grail fermented essence is widely regarded as an affordable dupe for J-beauty product SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence. There's only one ingredient in this product - which is of course, Artemisia (also known as sweet wormwood or Qing Hao). This antioxidant-rich herb is excellent for sensitive and acne-prone skin, leaving it hydrated and supple. The essence itself has a thin texture with a faintly herbal scent, and absorbs quickly. We love to soak a few cotton pads in this essence and apply on our faces when our skin needs a bit of extra comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence?
The Missha Time Revolution Artemsia Treatment Essence is a beloved K-Beauty anti-aging treatment that's considered a dupe for the (far more expensive) SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence! It's made of only one ingredient: Artemsia extract, which is also known as mugwort. This super-herb is like a do-it-all.
What are the benefits of using this essence?
There are several benefits of using this Missha Essence. As we've said previously, mugwort (or Artemsia) does a myriad of things for the skin. It is considered anti-aging, soothing on acne (particularly hormonal acne), beneficial for sensitivity, and good for dry skin. Use it if your skin concerns include combatting anti-aging, redness, irritation and dehydration. It'll leave skin looking more hydrated, even-toned and smoother.
Can this essence be layered with other skincare products?
The Missha Time Revolution Essence was positively made to be layered with other skincare products! Whle it is great as a standalone, we think it is best used as a complement to a broader routine, tailored to achieve a particular skincare goal. For instance, if you are wanting to treat redness and acne, this essence works beautifully sandwiched in between other anti-acne/redness products like a tea-tree toner and niacinamide serum. Similarly, if it's anti-aging that you're going for, this essence pairs well with more active ingredients like retinol. You can use this essence for the "7-skin" method.
What makes this essence unique compared to other essences?
What makes this essence unique compared to other essences is its bare simplicity: it only contains one ingredient, which is artemsia annua, also known as mugwort or sweet wormwood extract. This makes it ideal for skin on the more sensitive side, because you know what you are getting and don't have to worry about reacting to other 'filler' ingredients in the formula.
