Why Primera Miracle Seed Essence?
This is a multi-award-winning essence that’s loaded with ingredients to enhance the skin’s function and appearance.
Unlike other essences, water is not the main ingredient here. The stars of the show are Lotus Seed Extract, Niacinamide, Adenosine, Vitamin C and Xylitylglucoside.
This is the product you don’t know you need until you try it.
Primera Miracle Seed Essence ingredients
The key ingredients are:
Lotus Seed Extract is rich in skin-healthy Linoleic Acid and amino acids. They act as moisturising elements for the skin and fortify its barrier. This enables your skin to better protect itself from pollution, irritants and microbes, as well as enabling skin to maintain hydration.
Lotus Seed Extract is also high in antioxidants, specifically flavonoids and polyphenols. These help protect the skin by counter-acting free radicals and preventing damage to the skin’s collagen and elastin.
Niacinamide can improve almost every skin concern. Not only is it an antioxidant in its own right, it calms irritation and redness, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces excess oil production, minimises large pores, improves uneven tone and hyperpigmentation, diminishes dullness and softens fine lines.
Adenosine is known for its anti-wrinkle benefits and ability to energise the skin’s top layer, making it appear smoother and younger. Even at a very low percentage, it’s been shown to improve wrinkles.
Ethyl Ascorbic Ether is a stable form of Vitamin C. In skin care, Vitamin C is recognised as a superstar ingredients as it’s a potent antioxidant, collagen booster and skin brightener.
Xylitylglucoside increases moisture in the skin by increasing natural moisturising factors (NMFS), such as Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroitin Sulfate. It also reduces moisture loss by improving the skin barrier through increased synthesis of lipids (ceramides and cholesterol) and proteins (collagen and elastin).

Primera Miracle Seed Essence Review
This is one of the best essences I’ve ever tried. It is so gentle and literally makes your skin light up with hydration, but it isn’t greasy or oddly textured. No off-putting fragrance either.
Danielle
Anna Marie –
This is a brilliant essence to achieve a clearer, brighter, softer and more hydrated complexion. I also found it soothing, repairing and anti-ageing. It contains a stellar cast of ingredients including lotus seed extract, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, adenosine and saccharomyces ferment filtrate (a similar ferment to the one found in the famous SK-II Facial Treatment Essence). I like to pat it into the skin with my hands. For extra hydration, I apply it in 2-3 layers. I like that this essence is calming and nourishing, and doesn’t use essential oils or other irritating ingredients. The texture is light and liquid, yet very hydrating. This essence strengthens the skin barrier to help your skin better retain moisture, fights environmental damage and supports repair and regeneration. It comes in a glass bottle to better protect the natural ingredients. This essence has a way of making itself indispensable. It imparts clarity, glow and suppleness. And once you use it, you really can’t go back.
