Guide to EZEKIEL Essences
EZEKIEL's essence lineup covers two distinct formats: essence-soaked sheet masks for intensive weekly treatments and a premium 24K Gold Prestige Essence for daily serum-step use. Understanding the difference between the two helps you build the most effective routine from this collection.
Two Formats, One Collection
Within the EZEKIEL essences range you will find:
- Ultra Hydrating Essence Masks (Shirim and Shemrim sub-series) - single-use cotton sheets pre-soaked in a concentrated essence, applied for 15 to 20 minutes and removed.
- Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Essence - a leave-on serum-weight treatment applied daily after toning and before moisturizer.
These formats complement rather than duplicate each other in a routine.
Essence Masks: Intensive Weekly Treatment
The Shirim and Shemrim Ultra Hydrating Essence Masks deliver a surge of ingredient-specific hydration in a single session. Each of the eight variants (Tomato, Snail, Coconut, Vitamin, Cucumber, Aloe, Green Tea, Royal Jelly) carries a different botanical or nutrient focus. Use two to three times weekly for ongoing skin maintenance, or more frequently during periods of dryness or stress.
24K Gold Prestige Essence: Daily Serum Step
The Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Essence is a leave-on treatment that sits in the serum step of a daily routine. The 24K gold complex supports a firming and brightening action alongside hydration. At 35 ml, it is a precision-dosed serum for targeted treatment - apply two to three drops morning and evening after toning.
24K Gold Peptide Lifting Mask
Also in the essences collection is the Shirim 24K Gold Peptide Lifting Mask (100 ml). This leave-on treatment mask bridges the gap between the sheet mask and serum formats, offering a wash-off or leave-on gel that provides a firming, peptide-enriched complement to the essence step. Use it two to three times weekly, before your leave-on serum.
How to Layer EZEKIEL Essences
On non-masking days:
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Essence (2 to 3 drops)
- Moisturizer
On masking days, use the Essence Mask or Peptide Lifting Mask in place of or after the Prestige Essence depending on your skin's needs. The sheet mask delivers more total volume of essence per session, so you can skip the Prestige Essence on the same day if preferred.
Skin Type Guidance
The EZEKIEL essence range works across skin types, but some variants are better matched to specific concerns:
- Dry and dehydrated skin benefits most from the Coconut, Royal Jelly, and Snail mask variants combined with the Prestige Essence daily.
- Combination skin can use the Green Tea or Aloe variants for masking and the Prestige Essence in a single daily layer.
- Mature skin will find the 24K Gold formats (Prestige Essence and Peptide Lifting Mask) most relevant.
What Does 24K Gold Do in Skincare?
In skincare formulas, colloidal gold is used as a premium active associated with antioxidant properties and a supportive role in firmness. It is not irritating, works across all skin types, and complements peptide actives by contributing to a lifting and brightening effect over time. EZEKIEL uses it in both the Prestige Essence and the Peptide Lifting Mask.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What types of essences does EZEKIEL make?
EZEKIEL offers two types: essence-soaked sheet masks (Ultra Hydrating Essence Masks in multiple ingredient variants) and a standalone leave-on serum called the Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Essence. A 24K Gold Peptide Lifting Mask rounds out the range.
What is the difference between an essence mask and a leave-on essence?
An essence mask is a cotton sheet soaked in concentrated essence that you apply to the face for 15 to 20 minutes and then remove. A leave-on essence (such as the Prestige Essence) is a lighter liquid you apply after toning and leave on the skin as a daily treatment step.
How do I apply the EZEKIEL Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Essence?
Apply after toning. Dispense two to three drops onto your fingertips, press gently into the skin starting from the center of the face outward, and let absorb for one minute before applying moisturizer. Use morning and evening for best results.
What does 24K Gold do in the EZEKIEL essence products?
Colloidal gold in skincare is associated with antioxidant properties and supports a firming, brightening effect over time. It is non-irritating and compatible with all skin types. EZEKIEL combines it with hydrating and peptide actives in the Prestige Essence and Lifting Mask.
How do I use the EZEKIEL 24K Gold Peptide Lifting Mask?
Apply to clean, toned skin two to three times weekly before your serum or essence step. The gel mask can be used as a leave-on treatment or as a wash-off mask depending on the concentration your skin needs. Follow with your leave-on serum and moisturizer.
Can I use both the Essence Mask and the Prestige Essence in the same routine?
Yes. On masking days you can use the sheet mask in place of or after the Prestige Essence. The two formats deliver different volumes of essence - the sheet mask provides a larger single-dose surge, while the Prestige Essence provides consistent daily care. Using both on the same day is acceptable for very dry or compromised skin.
How often should I use the EZEKIEL Essence Masks?
Two to three times a week is the standard cadence. If your skin is in a period of heightened dryness, daily use for a short period is fine. The single-use format keeps each session hygienic.
Which EZEKIEL essence mask variant targets anti-aging?
Royal Jelly and Snail are the two variants with the strongest anti-aging association in the range. Royal Jelly contributes amino acids and fatty acids that support skin nourishment, while Snail secretion filtrate is valued for its role in skin repair and texture. For dedicated anti-aging treatment, the Prestige Essence and Peptide Lifting Mask are more targeted choices.
Is EZEKIEL a Korean skincare brand?
Yes, EZEKIEL is a Korean brand. Its formulas draw on K-beauty conventions including layered hydration, botanical actives, and sheet masking, and the products sold on Skinsli are sourced directly from Korean suppliers.
How large is the EZEKIEL 24K Gold Prestige Essence and how long does it last?
The Prestige Essence comes in a 35 ml bottle. With two to three drops applied morning and evening, a 35 ml bottle typically lasts two to three months of daily use.
Are EZEKIEL essence masks suitable for all skin types?
The range is designed for broad compatibility. Aloe and Cucumber variants are best for sensitive and reactive skin. Green Tea works well for combination or oily skin. Coconut, Royal Jelly, and Snail suit dry and mature skin most. All variants hydrate without introducing harsh actives.
Are EZEKIEL essence products on Skinsli authentic?
Yes. Skinsli carries only genuine Korean beauty products sourced directly. All EZEKIEL essences sold here are authentic and match the formulas available in the Korean domestic market.
Can I use an EZEKIEL essence mask in the morning before work?
Yes. Apply after cleansing and toning. Leave on for 15 minutes, remove, pat in remaining essence, and follow with moisturizer and SPF. Masking in the morning leaves skin visibly plumped, which creates a smooth base for makeup if you wear it.
What does Shirim mean in the EZEKIEL product names?
Shirim is a product line name used by EZEKIEL for its main everyday masking and essence products. The Shemrim sub-series covers a slightly different formula focus (Snail, Coconut). Both fall under the Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask category and are applied identically.
Can I use the Prestige Essence alongside other serums from different brands?
Yes. The Prestige Essence is a lightweight formula that layers well. Apply it as a first serum step, then layer any targeted actives (vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol) on top, followed by moisturizer. Avoid applying directly over strong acids without a buffer if your skin is sensitive.
