    Customers say this hydrating essence functions as a toner that makes skin feel soft, smooth, and hydrated.

      Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence

      I’ve been using the Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence since November of 2025 for dry facial skin and it was really helpful. I use it during the fall and spring mostly as it helps with my dry skin. As winter sets in however, I found my skin growing drier especially during the bitter cold winter months in the Midwest. In my particular case, the Tri-lurinic Hydrating Serum worked best during the colder months so I switch off between the two products seasonally. Both are great though and I love how Counter products are clean. Highly recommend either of these two for dry skin.

      Awesome toner

      This is my favorite toner to use after cleansing, and I love the new pump with it.

      Part of my daily skin routine

      Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence has been part of my daily skin routine for a couple of years. My skin drinks it up. I use it right after cleansing and then use a serum or moisturizer and a face oil.
